The City Wall was first built of earth, rammed layer upon layer and the base layer was made of mixture of earth, quicklime glutinous rice extract, tempered together. It made the wall strong and firm.

Thus the Ming Dynasty city wall formed a complex and well-organized system of defense. It is also the most complete City Wall that has survived through China?s long history.

It provides invaluable and substantial material for study of the history, military science, and architecture of the Ming Dynasty.
