Posted by Willettsword

Tuancheng City means City of Harmony or Circular City and used to be part of Daning Palace in the Jin Dynasty (265-420 A.D.). It was called Yuandi or Yingzhou during the Yuan dynasty when it was part of Kublai Khan's palace. The city wall stands about 4.6 meters (about 15 feet) high and has a circumference of 276 meters (about 906 feet). Among the various places to visit in the Circular City including halls, towers and pavilions, the most important construction is the Chengguang Hall which holds the extremely precious white jade statue of Buddha introduced from Burma at the end of Qing Dynasty. In front of the hall is a grand urn, made in 1265 out of variegated dark jade. With a diameter of 1.5 meters (about 4.9 feet), a circumference of 5 meters (about 16.4 feet), a height of 0.7 meters (about 2.3 feet) and a weighing 3.5 tons, the urn used to be the vessel of Kublai Khan for storing wine.
