Nine Dragon Wall

Introduction

Nine Dragon Wall is located in central Datong within the old city ramparts. The wall was built in 1392 to conceal the palace of a Ming dynasty (1368-1644) prince. The palace burned down in the 15th century but the 45 meter (148ft) long screen wall survived. The wall is decorated with brightly colored glazed tiles and carved dragons and animals.
