According to Chengdu cultural heritage and archaeology institute, the relics was excavated at a construction site. Experts confirmed the building time of the wall, stretching east to west for about 170 meters, based on the study of its bricks and structure.

The section of the wall, which is about 1.5 meters high and 8.9 to 12 meters wide, was originally built in Tang but underwent renovation in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

The ancient wall is of great value for the study of urban construction and the social and economic structure in ancient time, Jiang said.
