The major Square City was called Hechang City in ancient times,established in West Han Dynasty on a natural terrace of the ancient Shule River. Its name means “ riverside warehouse", and it is a city of military warehouse in northwestern China rarely found elsewhere in the nation.

Three scenes of the city are worth visiting. The first is the survived city base,with the remaining area of about 600m2. Those of the walls on the four sides are fairly well preserved,with the city gates，sidewalks，and horse road easily recognizable. The second attraction is the beacon tower of the city,standing near in the west of the city base. The third is the heaps of burning materials of the beacon scattered around the beacon tower, 15 in number. The largest of the heaps is about 2m long，1. 5m wide, and 13m high，lying neat as the best preserved heap of burning materials in China for beacon towers.
