The original town was built during the Warring States Period by the kingdom of Chu. The city was expanded during the Later Han Dynasty and a wall, about nine thousand meters (5½ mi) in circumference, was built around the existing Chu-era city.Today the Stone City lies within the confines of Nanjing's Qingliang Park. The ancient city is strongly enough associated with Nanjing that Nanjing itself is sometimes referred to as "Stone City".
The ancient city wall from Caochang Gate (in Chinese) to Qingliang Gate (in Chinese)is protected from being pulled down. it has been built into a park for free. One of the most famous landmark in the park is the "Ghost-Faced Wall".
