Jingjiang Dawang Town, located on the west bank of Lijiang River in Guilin, is the official residence of Zhu Shouqian, the warlord of Amin Dynasty. It was built in the fifth year of Hongwu (AD 1372) and completed in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu (AD 1392). There are the best-preserved Ming Dynasty city walls around Dawang Town in Jingjiang.
Because Jingjiang Wangcheng is located in the central area of Guilin, there is a saying that "you can know Guilin by looking at it all over". At the same time, it is also one of the campuses of Guangxi Normal University, with historical and cultural tourism colleges and other departments.
Jingjiang Wangcheng was founded in 1372, with a large scale, crowded streets and strict layout. The hall is magnificent, the pavilions are magnificent, and the mountains and rivers are like the fairy palace.

King Jingjiang of Ming Dynasty 12 generation 14 lived here for 280 years. Now you can not only appreciate the majesty and solemnity of the former imperial city, but also personally touch the vicissitudes of the 600-year-old city wall.
