Yanlou Military Camp

The more prosperous town, the lively and extraordinary, is quite good.

On the second day of the New Year, there was heavy snow in the morning. We wanted to wait for the snow to be white before going out to shoot the snow scene, but in a while, the snow stopped and it went away. Our destination today is Yanlou Ancient Camp, not far from Qingyan Ancient Town. Navigate to Bulltun, there is a mountain on the side of the road, reconnaissance with drones, found that there is a house on the top of the mountain, and then verified by the villagers, this is the Yanlou Ancient Camp we are looking for. According to experts, the history of Yanlou Yingpan can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, and the existing buildings were built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty and were listed as municipal cultural relics protection units. In 1863, the local Zhou family built a castle to avoid mountain thieves. Because it resembles a bull, it is commonly known as "Bull Tun". In the castle on the top of the mountain, the remaining stone houses are covered with weeds and are very desolate.

Yanlou is located in the southwest of Huaxi District, 35 kilometers from Guiyang City, and 6 kilometers from Qingyan Ancient Town to the east
