geographical position

The national defense park is located as far away as jinlingyi castle built by King Wei of Chu in 333 BC. Later, Sun Quan of the eastern Wu Dynasty built a stone city and a beacon tower on the site of Jinling City in 212 ad in order to guard the Jiankang gate. During the reign of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the building of "entering the Han Dynasty" became an important military town in Jiankang. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the stone city was rebuilt. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang expanded the famous Nanjing city wall to reinforce and repair the stone city. At the foot of the western side of the mountain is a city wall more than one kilometer long, which is the original of history. There is a huge stone on the city wall, which looks like a grim face due to the weathering of nature. Therefore, this section of Shicheng site, also known as the ghost face city, is an important part of the famous Shicheng scenic spot and has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Jiangsu Province. In 1975, Comrade Deng Xiaoping, then Vice Premier of the State Council, made a special trip to accompany DPRK Prime Minister Kim Il Sung.

It is composed of the national defense education Museum, the military arms Museum, the British Model Museum, the national defense science and Technology Museum, the heavy weapons field, the simulation exercise field and the military sports entertainment park. The name of "National Defense Education Museum" was inscribed by Liu Huaqing, former vice chairman of the Military Commission, and the name of "military and arms Museum" was inscribed by Chi Haotian, Minister of national defense. Zhang Aiping, Jiang Weiqing, Du Ping, Xiang Shouzhi and other leaders also made speeches for the national defense park.
