Go south to reach the South Gate Dingguang Gate
The Dingguang South Gate in Qingyan Ancient Town was built in the seventeenth year of Qing Shunzhi (1660), when the deputy chief soldier Ban Yingshou expanded Qingyan City, and during the Xianfeng period, Zhao Guopeng, the premier of the Qingyan Regiment, built the City Gate Tower when he comprehensively renovated Qingyan City. The city floor is three rooms wide, 4 meters deep, and the roof is green tiled.
In 1993, the Dingguang South Gate was rebuilt with special funds and funds raised by the government, and the roof was changed to yellow glazed tiles. When An Guangmen was repaired, due to the lack of expert guidance, the workers built the wall stacks on the run, and it was a pity that there was no protective wall under the stacks. In 2000, the municipal government allocated special funds to rebuild it again, restoring the green tile roof and repairing the protective wall, so that Dingguangmen was basically restored to its old appearance
The scenery is still good after coming out of Dingguang Gate

The architectural shape of the three arches is basically the same, all of which are four pillars and three rooms, three floors and four roofs, with a height of 9.5 meters, a width of 9 meters, and a north and south, which belongs to the Qing Dynasty stone arch architectural style.
