The Bazhou City Ruins site has a triangular layout, covering approximately 500,000 square meters. The site's north and south sides are fortified with earthen city walls, each stretching 2100 meters,

Walk north along the Jin Cheng Lane for about 500 meters, and you'll find a stone tablet marking the Bazhou City Ruins site at a nearby slip road; otherwise, it's hard to discern the existence of a thousand-year-old city wall here,

According to the plan, the Bazhou City Ruins site will be developed into the Bazhou City Ruins Park,
