## About Taizhou Prefectural City Wall

The Jiangnan Great Wall is the former battlefield where Qi Jiguang fought Japanese raiders during the Ming dynasty, with numerous historic sites including barbicans, watchtowers, city gates and altars. Historical records state that the hollow watchtowers of the northern Great Wall originated with the Linhai section, as both were built by Qi Jiguang. The Linhai wall therefore has a deep bond with the northern Great Wall and is also known as the 'Badaling of Jiangnan.'
