Xiangyang
One of the oldest intact city walls in China stands in Xiangyang, a large city in northern Hubei Province where the Han River divides the historic southern district from the newer northern half. The city has carried titles such as "the iron-forged Xiangyang" and "the most contested ground under heaven," reflecting more than three thousand years of military history and a record of cultural sites across the wider municipality. A walkable centre with cafés and restaurants lines both banks, with mountains and scenic viewpoints accessible nearby.
