Dahe Tangcheng is a relatively large-scale and well-preserved Tang Dynasty ancient city site in the Hami area, so it is called Dahe Tangcheng or Dahe Ancient City. Dahe Tangcheng is located in the center of the bottom of the Barkol Basin. The terrain is flat and flat, with fertile land and abundant water sources, suitable for farming.

The famous "big river" originates from the underground spring in the east of the city, so the land is very suitable for farming. From here to Jiuhu is what was called "Ganluchuan" in ancient times. This is a good place for the production of military rations in the frontier of reclamation. Until modern times, it has been a Barkol granary that guarantees harvests during droughts and floods, and it is one of the eight sceneries of Barkol with "gardening clouds".

The ancient city is rectangular, and there is a wide city wall in the middle that divides the ancient city into two small cities, the main city and the auxiliary city. The two cities are juxtaposed from east to west. The main city is 210 meters long from north to south and 180 meters wide from east to west. The city wall is nearly 10 meters high and 12 meters wide. There is only one door on the west wall, which is 4 meters wide.

One horse face is placed at the north end of the city gate, and two horse faces are placed at the south end. There are two horse faces on the north wall, the better preserved one is 8 meters wide and 9 meters high. There is an enemy station in the middle of Nancheng. The east wall is the west wall of the attached city. There is only one passage leading to the main city. There are three built-in horse faces in the attached city, one at the north end and two at the south end. There are turrets at the four corners of the city wall, and only the northwest and southwest corners are well preserved. Fucheng is in the east, 240 meters long from north to south, and 177 meters wide from east to west. The city wall is 4-5 meters high and 10 meters wide.

Many relics were collected in the city, mainly pottery and bronze ware, less iron ware, such as bronze mirrors, coins, copper rods, etc. The building materials include gray lotus paving tiles and lotus pattern tiles, all of which are typical relics of the Tang Dynasty. Large pottery waste vessels and large stone millstones are scattered throughout the city. All these show the grandeur of agricultural production at that time to tourists, proving that this place was once a large-scale grain storage base.
