Guizhou's only world cultural heritage, second only to the military site of the Great Wall, is little known.

Guizhou has the largest number of natural heritages in the world, including Libo Karst, Chishui Danxia, Shibing Yuntai Mountain Karst and Fan Jing. Compared with the four famous world natural heritages in Guizhou, the only world cultural heritage in Guizhou is still in a little-known state. On 20 15, Hailongtun, located at the top of Longyan in Zunyi City, successfully applied for the World Heritage; This is a military site second only to the Great Wall in China's 52 World Heritage List.

Hailongtun was founded on 1257. It was built by the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court and Bozhou Tusi Yang * * to resist Mongolia. Yang, a native of Bozhou, was once one of the largest toast in Southwest China. Yang Jiabao held this land for 725 years, and its power was longer than that of any Central Plains dynasty. As the power center of Tusi, Hailongtun is the oldest, largest and most well-preserved Tusi Castle discovered at present. It is even called "Machu Picchu" in China.

Later, Jiangshan changed hands; By the Ming Dynasty, Yang in Bozhou no longer followed the loyalty to the Central Plains Dynasty. 1600, in the Pingbo Campaign in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, the last host, Yang Yinglong, fought the Ming army in the main battlefield of the campaign, which lasted11/day. With the collapse of Yang Tusi's regime, the wooden buildings on the surface of Hailongtun were set on fire.

In the next 400 years, Hailongtun was buried deep in the mountains, covered with thorns and loess, and the old road was also flooded with weeds. It was not until the early 1980s that Hailongtun was rediscovered by archaeologists, and was announced as a provincial cultural protection unit in 1982, and was promoted to a national key cultural relics protection unit in 200 1 year. But the formal archaeological work didn't come until 20 12. Through the unremitting efforts of archaeological experts, it is found that although the surface buildings of Hailongtun have been destroyed, the ruins such as walls, passes, water dungeons and horse roads, which are mainly masonry structures, are still well preserved, which is very lucky.

Hailongtun is built on the mountain, with a height difference of nearly 400 meters from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. There are nine customs in Hailongtun. The first six customs are Zhu Tong Customs, Tiezhu Customs, Hu Fei Customs, Longfei Customs, Chaotian Customs and Feng Fei Customs. The three passes after Tun are Wan 'an Pass, Erdao Pass and Toudao Pass. The pass is built on a steep cliff, and the stone walls are connected, which is magnificent; Consume fighters layer by layer and block the enemy one after another. Now some sections are difficult to climb due to the weathering of stone steps, and a modern mountaineering road has been built in the scenic spot.

Looking from the bottom up, the road up the mountain is like a snake, sometimes hidden and sometimes present. In particular, the 36 steps leading to the Feihu Pass are full of dangers, with each step as high as 60 cm. Visitors need both hands and feet to climb it. What impressed me most during the whole visit was the need to cross layers of checkpoints, just like walking through just visiting. In ancient times, when the Ming army attacked, the oil and soybeans that fell from top to bottom could not be attacked at all. Such a defense system can be described as rock-solid and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is reported that it was later broken because of the rebellion within the toast.

The top of the chariot is relatively flat, and you will come to the location of the old and new palaces along the sightseeing plank road. The old and new palaces are built side by side, because there are many city walls and pass guards, like "a city within a city"; Set administrative office, military command, leisure life in one. Although the temple has been destroyed by the war, the outline of the foundation of the palace ruins is still clearly visible. Bedroom, warehouse, kitchen, barracks, etc.

There is also a tidal temple in Xingong District, which was built by Fu Guangzhai, a garrison road in Zunyi, Ming Dynasty, to turn over the souls of a large number of war dead. The existing buildings were built in the Republic of China.

Walking into this best-preserved medieval castle in China, you can still imagine the prosperity and majesty created by this 700-year-old toast kingdom. Despite the devastation of war in the past, the skeleton still exists and the glory still exists. In the depths of those ruins, bricks and fragments, there are many sad and tragic stories, which have quietly precipitated in the years and are waiting for tourists to interpret them. ...
