Are there any ancient cities or historic sites worth visiting in Chifeng?

Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia was once an important activity center of Qidan ancestral land and Mongolian nomads. For thousands of years, nomadic people have left a splendid and long-standing civilization here. However, due to the nomadic people's "living on water" and poor farming, the construction of cities is not as grand and huge as that of the Central Plains Dynasty. Therefore, there is no relatively perfect ancient city in Chifeng, only a few abandoned ancient city ruins, and almost no one comes to visit.

Liaoshangjing Site Liaoshangjing Site is located in the southeast suburb of Balinzuoqi, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, southeast of Lindong Town. It is the capital site of the Liao Dynasty under the ancient Khitan regime in China. It is the earliest and longest-lived ancient city in Liao Dynasty. At the same time, it is also the first capital city established by nomadic people in China on the northern grassland. Therefore, it is known as "the first capital of grassland". The ancient city of Shangjing, Liaoning, which is dominated by Khitan and Han nationality, has lived together for a long time, creating an incomparably splendid Khitan culture. It is the ancient city with the most historical value in Liao and Wujing.

According to the Records of Liao History and Geography, there were five capitals in the Liao Dynasty: "Taizong took the imperial capital as its capital, promoted Youzhou to Nanjing, changed Nanjing to Tokyo, Shengzong to Beijing, and Xingzongsheng to Yunzhou to Xijing, so five capitals were prepared." The imperial capital here is the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The ancient city of Shangjing is magnificent, with a circumference of 13.5 km. It is divided into two cities, with the imperial city in the north, where the Khitan royal family and Khitan people live. The south is the Han nationality, born for the Khitan Han nationality. According to the different characteristics of the Khitan people and the Han people, the Khitan Dynasty made different laws and regulations to bind the people in the city, which is the earliest "one country, two systems" in China.

There are three existing city gates at the Shangjing site in Liaoning Province, with a horse face on the wall and an urn outside the city gate. The emperor's palace is located in the middle of the imperial city.

Generally speaking, in the 22nd year of Liao unification (A.D. 1004), Liao Dynasty was able to obtain a large number of ancient coins from Song Dynasty every year, which provided sufficient financial support for the construction of Zhongjing. Liao and Song maintained a relatively long-term peace, and such a political environment also provided social environmental protection for the construction of Beijing. Although Zhongjing was built late, its scale was determined according to the scale of Kyoto. Therefore, in many documents, Zhongjing is even regarded as the capital of the late Liao Dynasty.

There are gates in the middle of Nancheng, urns and turrets in the four corners, but no horse face is found. South Gate Zhuxiamen to Inner City South Gate Yangdemen 1, 400 meters.

Another low tower with the same shape as Daming Pagoda is now called "Little Tower", and "Daming Pagoda" is also called the north-south tower in central Liaoning and Beijing.
