Lijian Ancient City (1)

Lijian Ancient City is located in Jiaojiacun Township, Yongchang County. It was a military fortress on the ancient Silk Road. Lijian is famous for the hypothesis that the Roman legions were stranded in China. However, after scientists conducted genetic testing on the local people, they concluded that there was no connection with the Romans, so the hypothesis that the Roman legions were stranded in China lacks evidence. When you come here, you will see many buildings with ancient Roman styles and Roman columns, and the smoke of history seems to be reflected in the void.
