Huangsiqiao Ancient City, which was founded in the second year of Tang Dynasty (AD 686), was the county seat of Weiyang County at that time. At that time, it was still a tucheng, which was transformed into an earth-rock mixed town to crush the Miao nationality in the Ming Dynasty. With the increase of Miao uprising, the Qing government built Quanshi Defense City in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, and Huangsiqiao ancient city was also a large garrison camp. The ancient city of Huangsiqiao is rectangular, with a total length of 686 meters. It is the most intact stone city in China. The ancient city has only three gates, east, west and north, but no south gate. Because the local water was scarce when the city was built at that time, architecturally speaking, the south was a fire, and opening the south gate would easily lead to fire entering the city, so the south gate was not built. Many film and television dramas were shot in the ancient city of Huangsiqiao, such as the well-known border town, Wulong Mountain Scenic Resort fighting bandits, Xiangxi fighting bandits and so on. ★ You must know the traffic when you travel.
