Photos of Dongmen Relic Site

The East Gate Site, also known as the Shuangwucheng Site, is located in the east of the Dongguan Street Historic District. It was built in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. The gates and walls of the later dynasties were repaired here. It is newly built in modern times, imitating the style of the city walls and city gates of the Song Dynasty. Climbing the tower, you can overlook the panoramic view of Dongguan Street. Passing through the doorway under the east gate site, you can see the ruins of the city wall in the Tang and Song Dynasties through the glass floor. In the tower, the cultural history of Yangzhou and Dongguan Street is introduced in the form of an exhibition hall, so if you want to visit the attractions of Dongguan Street and understand its background, it is a good choice to start from the Dongmen Site. After viewing the exhibition, you can go up to the city tower. To the east, you can see the Dongguan Ancient Ferry Archway. To the west, you can see Dongguan Street and the ancient buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles on both sides extending vertically into the distance. When the weather is good, it is recommended to climb the tower at dusk, just in time to see the sunset on Dongguan Street.
