It feels like traveling through a century | I didn't expect that Lafayette had been here.

▪️There is a kind of broken beauty here, not far from the capital. But there is a feeling of still living in the middle of the last century. ▫️More than a hundred years ago, the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, and Cixi took Guangxu Emperor, the queen and others to escape to Xi'an. Cixi went west, and one of the stops was here. ▪️This is Jiwu Post, which was built in the Yuan Dynasty. It was named after the mountain and the city was set up because of the post. There are many ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the square city outline, and there are two city towers in the east and west. ▫️The surface of the city wall is made of bricks, and the inner layer is rammed earth. The fingerprints left by the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty can still be seen on the bricks of the city gate. There are 4 corner towers around the city wall. There is a city gate in the east and west, a city tower on the city gate, and a chimney outside the city. The roads in the city are crisscrossed, dividing the buildings in the city into twelve areas of different sizes. There are many historical shops and houses in the city. [Tour route] East Gate➡️Post Office Exhibition Hall➡️Taishan Palace➡️Wenchang Palace➡️Dragon King Temple ➡️Yi Chengshu➡️Hejia Courtyard➡️Climb the West Gate Tower➡️Walk half a circle along the city wall➡️East Gate 📷Recommended check-in: 📍Hejia Courtyard: In 1900, Empress Dowager Cixi lived in the west wing of this courtyard when she fled to the west. The brick carving "Hongxi Jiefu" is the highlight. (There are currently local people living, full of life) 📍Taishan Palace: It is dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun (commonly known as Taishan Grandma, it is said that the south is dedicated to Mazu, and the north is dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun), and there are 580-year-old murals in the Ming Dynasty in the hall. 📍Yi Chengshu: The government agency that governs the whole city, where the core officials of the Qing Dynasty post city and their officials work. (There are also local people living) 📝Note tips: 💰Ticket: 40 yuan 🕙Business hours: 8:30-17:30 📌To be honest, if such an ancient city is placed in the Yangtze River Delta region, it will have been repaired and there will be an endless stream of tourists. And here, local residents still live in ancient buildings (attractions), each collecting 1 or 2 yuan for tickets. Maybe the house was left by the ancestors, maybe not, it is hard to say good or bad, I still hope to plan well.
