Longli Ancient City - China Travel

introduce

Longli, originally called Longli, was named Longli in the Qing Dynasty, which is called "the reason for prosperity". It is located on the southwest edge of Jinping County, 64 kilometers away from the county seat. This magnificent ancient city was built in the 19th year of Hongwu (1386) in the Ming Dynasty and built in the summer of Yongle (1404). It is an important military castle in the Ming Dynasty.
Longli Ancient City is an isolated island of Han culture in the Miao and Dong areas of southeast Guizhou, and it is also one of the four major eco-museums in Guizhou. The buildings in the city have the courtyard style in Beijing, exquisite Anhui folk houses, and Jiangxi folk houses. The planning of the city takes into account the role of military defense everywhere. Walking in the ancient city of Longli, I often feel that the front is a dead end, with no passage connecting it, but when I get closer, I find that there is a small road, and there is another village. Moreover, each house has a back door passage, and each house is connected, so you can enter or retreat.
When you finish visiting this ancient city, you will find that there is no intersection in this ancient city; the road that seems to be passable, but you can’t find the exit after entering it, this is called clear and hidden obstruction; There is a way, but there is a hidden hole inside, which becomes the obstruction of the light and the passage of the darkness. This is an ancient city that reflects the military considerations of the cold weapon era. It is not big, but it is really special.
