Kaige Tower is a Yulin landmark that fits the city's old frontier character, where northern Shaanxi, the Great Wall corridor, and desert-edge trade routes meet. The tower gives a vertical accent to a city better known for walls, gates, and nearby fortifications.
Visit as part of a short circuit through central Yulin before heading to Zhenbei Platform or Hongshi Gorge. The sight is compact, but it helps connect the modern city to its older role as a guarded northwestern outpost.
