Originally constructed in 1638 near the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Wanping has a history of more than 380 years. Its fortress is the only well-preserved double-gated garrison town in northern China. The walls, constructed with layered stone slabs, bricks, and compacted earth, were designed to withstand heavy impact.
