Where is the lock gate of Pu Yin?

Pu Yin City Gate is a cultural relic protection unit in Yueqing City.

Pu Yin Town Gate is located in Pu Yin Town, Yueqing City. Song Xichun (1174-1189) built a city wall, which was later built many times. In the early Ming Dynasty, they believed in the Lord of the country, cared for each other, built cities and guarded thousands of houses, belonging to Yanwei. Ming Wanli's "Wenzhou Fuzhi" contains: "In the twentieth year of Hongwu (1387), Pu Yin Qianhu City was built in Ruiying Township, with a circumference of 600 feet, a height of 20 feet and a thickness of 20 feet. It has four gates, 12 enemy platforms and 24 bunks." In the 18th year of Qing Shunzhi (166 1), he moved to the sea and became a city. In the ninth year of Kangxi (1670), the exhibition boundary was built as before. In the eleventh year of Xianfeng (186 1), gentry and doves were restored. There are four doors. Although the city wall was destroyed and the moat remained unchanged, the layout of the city wall at that time was still recognizable. This city was an anti-Japanese military facility in Yueqing in the Ming Dynasty.
