The Ming City Wall was 40 kilometers long in history and was built in the 17th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1419 AD), with a history of more than 580 years. The existing wall ruins from Chongwen Gate to the southeast corner tower of the city are 1.5 kilometers long. They are part of the original inner city wall of Beijing, the only remaining section, and the symbol of Beijing. The southeast corner tower of the city is the largest corner tower of the city wall in the country. It was built in the first year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty (1436 AD) and is a national key cultural relic protection unit. The Beijing Ming City Wall Ruins Park is located in the city center. The Beijing Ming City Wall Ruins Park starts from the southeast corner tower in the east and ends at Chongwen Gate in the west. The total area of the Beijing Ming City Wall Ruins Park is about 15.5 hectares. The city wall ruins and the southeast corner tower of the city occupy 3.3 hectares, and the green area of the Beijing Ming City Wall Ruins Park is 12.2 hectares. Due to years of disrepair and man-made damage, the city wall is seriously damaged. In order to protect the cultural heritage and reproduce the style of the ancient capital, the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government conscientiously practiced the important thought of "Three Represents" and decided to thoroughly rectify the surrounding environment of the city wall ruins, repair the city wall, and build the Ming City Wall Ruins Park. The newly built Beijing Ming City Wall Ruins, with the protection of the city wall as the starting point and the purpose of showing the true appearance of the ancient city wall, provides citizens with a quiet, natural, simple and desolate environment. A closed lush green belt will be formed on the north side of the city wall, while the linear shape of the garden path and the configuration of plants on the south side of the city wall are simple and generous. The protection work of the city wall ruins is mainly based on the protection of the current situation and the reinforcement of risk elimination, supplemented by a small amount of gap filling, to preserve the original state of the city wall to the greatest extent. Standing under the city wall, a sense of historical solemnity and vicissitudes arises spontaneously.
