introduce

Xiangyu Ancient Castle is located in Xiangyu Village, Qinshui County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. Originally named Xianggu, because the village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the name of the village evolved into Xiangyu. Xiangyu City is a masonry and civil castle in the form of a honeycomb. Because the city was built by the brothers Sun Juxiang and Sun Dingxiang, and Sun Dingxiang ranked third among the four Sun brothers, and he once served as the right deputy capital envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so his mansion was named after "Sandu Hall". Therefore, the ancient city of Yu is also called "the ancient city of Sandu".

I also stopped by after visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion in the imperial city, but I was deeply attracted by this unique architectural style. The overall architectural appearance is spectacular, especially the harmonious combination of the ancient castle, stone bridge and surrounding water, which gives people a beautiful feeling. Enjoy the perspective. The buildings in the castle include village buildings and a complete system of defensive secret passages. The residential buildings in the castle also belong to the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. With stone lions, gate towers, wood carvings, stone carvings, etc., you can savor the ancestors carefully. The crystallization of wisdom is worth watching.

There is a unique old castle with a moat and a high city. Although the scale is small, the architectural style is also unique. It is a pity that some parts have been damaged.

The ancient city is quaint and authentic, the building protection is relatively complete, and there are performances. Although some places are being renovated, it is still worth seeing. Tickets are 50 yuan.

Xiangyu Ancient Castle is a newly developed scenic spot in Jincheng in recent years. It only started to collect tickets last year. Currently, the scenic spot is still under construction, but most areas are already open to tourists. All scenic spots in Jincheng are free of tickets before June 30, 2020. The ancient castle is an ancient city, built on the mountain, with three gates and a moat in front. It is the largest and most spectacular in the series of Taihang ancient castles. The ancient castle was first built in the Wanli period, and it took 20 years to build it by the Sun brothers of the Donglin Party. It used to be the gathering place of the Sun clan. The castle is quite big, with eight dwellings, which have been opened up into small museums with different themes. The west city wall can be climbed up, which is no worse than the ancient city wall, and it is more majestic and magnificent if it is built against the mountain. The cave for storing soldiers and the road for transporting troops are very long, and the inside is super cool. In other ancient castles, there is an additional charge. There is a place to eat outside the castle, and you can play for 2-3 hours inside. It is very close to Dibo City and Huangcheng Xiangfu, so you can play together. There is a direct shuttle bus from Jincheng East Passenger Transport Station to Xiangyu Castle. It is best to take two buses at 7:35 and 9:35. The journey takes about 80 minutes and the fare is 5 yuan. Take the car at 15:20 and 17:00 in the afternoon and return to the urban area.

The construction here has not yet been completed. The buildings in the scenic area are just houses. Most of them can only be seen from the outside and cannot be entered. There are a few exhibition halls with few people. Ladies and sisters who like to take pictures can come here. Wear ancient costumes and find them casually I can shoot at any place, 😁😁
