Huludao, 'Corridor of Western Liaoning'

Xingcheng is an ancient town with rich cultural endowment known for its green hills, seascape, hot springs and islets. It is a key national-level scenic site and a provincial-level historic and cultural town. The ancient town of Xingcheng is double-walled, a tradition passed down from the Ming Dynasty some 500 years ago. Although its outer wall has collapsed over time due to erosion, the inner wall is in good shape after generations of maintenance and renovation. As one of the best-preserved ancient towns in China, Xingcheng is designed in the shape of a square and surrounded by the original city wall. There are four gate towers, one on each side. Like many aged towns, a bell and drum tower is located in the center of Xingcheng and has witnessed the town's ups and downs through years.[Photo/china.org.cn]
