Tianshengcheng Fortress Ruins & Street
天生城
Remains of a mountaintop fortress built by the Southern Song to resist the Mongols. The cultural street at its foot is the center of Wanzhou's grilled fish, and it's popular for night views and light shows.
Tianshengcheng sits on a mountaintop north of the city, surrounded on all sides by sheer cliffs. It is the remains of a mountain fortress system built by Southern Song soldiers and civilians during their resistance against the Mongol Yuan dynasty. Surviving features include gates, walls, an ancient well and house foundations. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit. The hilltop ruins park offers a high view over the whole city of Wanzhou. At the foot of the mountain, the Tianshengcheng cultural tourism street is lined with ancient-style buildings. In the evenings it hosts light shows and Sichuan opera face-changing performances. It also brings together many Wanzhou grilled fish and gege restaurants, making it a popular place for dinner and night touring. Entry to the ruins is free, and a taxi ride takes about 15 minutes.
