Shaowu City Wall & Xichun Park
邵武古城墙·熙春公园
Surviving Ming-era city walls along the Futun River and Xichun Mountain Park, where the climb to the top offers views over the old town and the river.
The Shaowu City Wall was first built in the Song dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming. The surviving section along the Futun River, with its gates, bears witness to the “Iron City of the South.” Right next to it, Xichun Mountain Park is built on Xichun Hill, with lush trees, pavilions and historic sites on the hillside. From the top you can look down over the Futun River and the city, and it is a favorite spot for locals' morning exercise and strolls. The park is free to enter and suits an evening visit. Together with the nearby Baoyan Temple and old street, the route takes about 2 hours on foot.
