Kaicheng Site
开城遗址
The former site of the palace of the Prince of Anxi during the Yuan dynasty. It was a political and military center of the northwest under Mongol rule and is now a nationally key cultural heritage site.
The Kaicheng Site is located in Kaicheng Town, Yuanzhou District, Guyuan. It was the palace of the Yuan-dynasty Prince of Anxi, Mangala, and his son Anandar. It was also an important stronghold for the Mongol administration of the northwest. The site was abandoned in the mid-Yuan period after a major earthquake. The remains include the city walls, palace foundations, and tomb areas. The site now focuses on heritage protection and display, and surface remains are limited. It suits history enthusiasts, and visitors on the way to the Liupan Mountains can stop for about half an hour to an hour.
