Is the wall of Xuanhua Ancient City newly built?

It's not new, it's repaired.

However, the ancient city of Xuanhua has been constantly changing and destroying in these years. Now, only the south gate is left in the original seven gates, and only the intermittent ancient city walls, like a just visit, lead us back to the eventful years of Xuanhua City.

Xuanhua Ancient City Wall is now a national key cultural relic protection unit and one of the top ten famous ancient city walls in China. Cao Yu, a great dramatist known as "China Shakespeare", once regarded Xuanhua as his second hometown. When he recalled the writing of Peking Man, he said: "The horn sounded intermittently on the distant city wall is lonely and rippling in the desolate air. I got this impression not in Beijing, but in Xuanhua. " When I was a child, Mr. Cao Yu sat on the ancient wall of Xuanhua, listening to the sound of the horn coming from a distance and remembering the good times with his mother.

In 2006, Xuanhua District Party Committee and District Government launched the activity of "Love me Xuanhua, Repair my ancient city" to repair Daxinmen Tower and some city walls. After two years and five months, part of the ancient city wall restoration project in Xuanhua was completed. The restored Daxinmen Pagoda reproduces the style of Xuanhua military town and plays a positive role in better protecting other historical and cultural heritages of the ancient city. At present, Daxinmen and Beicheng Wall are open to tourists free of charge. In 20 13, Xuanhua District Committee and Government began to comprehensively repair the North City Wall.
