Yinchuan Landmark: South Gate Square

Today, we are going to explore the landmark of this ancient city of Yinchuan - South Gate Square. Speaking of South Gate Square, we have to mention the majestic South Gate Tower, which is the most intact one among the six city gates of ancient Yinchuan! Looking at the South Gate Tower from a distance, with its red walls and green tiles, and its double-eaved roof, it's like a mini version of the "Tiananmen". However, don't rush to conclude that it's a knock-off, in fact, it was born more than 200 years earlier than Beijing's Tiananmen! How about that, are you surprised? Entering South Gate Square, you will find that it is not as bustling as in front of Tiananmen, but instead gives a sense of tranquility and leisure. The square is spacious and open, with the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind, slogans and images of great men hanging on the city tower, and there are viewing platforms on both sides, everything looks so solemn and sacred. However, South Gate Square is not just a tourist attraction, it is also the place where Yinchuan City holds major gatherings. You can imagine how lively and joyous it would be here on important days. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, South Gate Square is open for free! That is to say, you can come here at any time, to feel the history and culture of Yinchuan, and enjoy the tranquility and beauty.
