It's location near the North Gate and the wharves continued to be useful. In 1913, the north part of the wall was demolished, and in 1914 the same was done in the south.  Over ten years the entire structure and moat were turned into roads by the Chinese government.  A small section surrounding the Small North Gate remains.  It has a monument to the God of War who protects the city.</font></p>
