How many gates are there in Dali ancient city? What's your name? What is Abbott?

There are four gates around the city wall, namely Erhai Gate (also called Tonghaimen) in the east, Shuanghemen (also called Chengen Gate) in the south, Cangshan Gate in the west and Santanmen (also called Anyuan Gate) in the north. There is no such name as Aibomen in the ancient city of Dali.

There is a moat outside the ancient city of Dali. It was rebuilt many times in the Qing Dynasty, and the city maintained a typical chessboard structure, with symmetrical north and south gates and criss-crossing streets, which was called "Nine Streets and Eighteen Alleys".

The layout of the city is chessboard-shaped, with symmetrical north and south gates and staggered east and west gates. Three streets in the north and south and six streets in the east and west constitute the main road pattern of Dali city. The city center is to the west, and the north-south central axis is not in the middle, forming an urban layout in which the west is heavy and the east is light. However, the east and west doors are staggered, and the principle of "east, west, north and south do not take the right" in white buildings is adopted.

Landscape water is a clear spring flowing through Cangshan Mountain, and the canal runs around the street and through the city, with a total length of 3,600 meters and a daily flow of more than 600 cubic meters.
