Fùchuān

Fuchuan lies on the Fu River amid the hills of northeastern Guangxi. In the early Ming the county seat and its military garrison were moved to a site on the river's western bank. A wall was begun there in 1396, after a petition by the general Han Guan; the magistrate Zhang Qian and garrison officers oversaw its construction. The town was repaired and enlarged several times under the Ming and Qing, with gates facing in the four directions.
