Xiangyang Ancient City

Xiangyang’s walls and gates preserve a history of rebuilding beside the Han River. The Lady Wall is one particular section associated with a tradition about Lady Han, not another name for the entire city wall. Its fourth-century story and the thirteenth-century siege of Xiangyang belong to different periods.
