Come to the South Gate of Wuwei, remember the past of Liangzhou, and appreciate the culture of the Five Liang

The South City Gate, also known as Zhaowu Gate, was first built in the Sui Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. It is an important historical and cultural symbol of Wuwei. The original city tower was a double-eave hip-roofed building. It is said that at night, you can clearly hear the sound of rain falling on the tiles, hence the name 'Night Rain Hitting Tiles', which is one of the eight ancient scenes of Liangzhou. Later, due to wars and earthquakes, it was almost completely destroyed. What we see now is the restored work, but it is still majestic; the three gate holes under the city gate, the traffic coming and going, and the square in front of the city tower have become a place for citizens and tourists to relax and exercise. Looking at the tower from the square, remembering the past of the border city, reading Liangzhou poetry, and climbing the city tower are all must-dos. Outside the tower, the city of Wuwei is bustling with traffic. Inside the tower, the Five Liang Culture Museum details the 'Five Liang Culture that has continued for five hundred years', Liangzhou poetry, grottoes, Wei and Jin mural bricks, Northern Wei music and dance, and the eastward spread of Buddhism, all of which have had a profound impact on later generations. 🕘【Opening hours】: City tower opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 09:00-17:00. 💴【Tickets】: Swipe your ID card to climb the city tower for free and visit the Five Liang Culture Museum. 🚌【Transportation guide】: Take bus 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 102 to get there, in fact, it's not far to walk from anywhere in the city. 👉【Itinerary】: Li Minghan's former residence, Wuwei Confucian Temple, and the Western Xia Museum are all nearby and can be easily visited in one day. 🧡【TIPS】: Don't miss the night view of the city tower and the hidden delicacies in the nearby alleys during the day.
