Xiangyang Ancient City

I came to the Yulin Military Academy and waited for the upcoming exciting Wuwu Emperor School. In AD 36, Liu Xiu went through a unified war that lasted for ten years and unified the countries that fell apart. However, the northern Xiongnu and Xianbei repeatedly committed the Dahan border. In order to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, Liu Xiu decreed to summon the generals in the "Yuntai 28" and held a grand military exercise at the Yulin Military Academy. The weather for a few days is very good. There is no hot and blazing sun, no pattering rain, warm and gentle weather, just like the feeling of the small city of Zaoyang, warm and comfortable. But at this time, the school ground still has a strong heat, and the heat wave is followed by a burst of heat, and the persons cheeks are hot and red, which is an impassioned passion radiated from the bottom of my heart. The galloping horses and the flying dust test not only the Yuma's superb technology but also the sensitive reaction ability. The battlefield is full of winds and waves, and it is lost when you accidentally. Therefore, it is not only necessary to liberate the hands and wield the knife and gun on the galloping horseback, but also to respond to the surrounding environment with extreme sensitivity, and to make the most favorable judgment and the most effective response in an instant. seems to have returned to the turbulent era of the yellow sand. Thousands of young lang have left their parents, left their sweethearts, left their hometown and rushed to the front line, throwing their heads and sprinkling blood, just for the dream in the heart. Only to solve the battlefield for the country to die, why the horse is still wrapped in corpses, is a singer and lovely person.

Near the old city center of Xiangyang's urban area, there is now a tourist attraction called the ancient city of Xiangyang, and the Tang City scenic area is also located here. This scenic area has restored some of the buildings of the ancient city, and now there are many shops inside, with both sightseeing and dining being taken care of within the attraction. At night, this place is even more beautiful, making it suitable for a night tour of the ancient city of Xiangyang. The ancient city is adjacent to the river, presenting a mix of old and new scenery.

The ticket includes admission to the scenic spot + round-trip shuttle, and you must take the shuttle from the tourist center to start the trip. On the return trip, you can get off at Guangde Temple, and after visiting, take the shuttle back to the city. Second, the Xiangyang Ancient City is quite large, with walls all around, but the walls are not intact, and you cannot walk around them on top.

The ancient city of Xiangyang has always been a strategic military location, coveted for its position as a key north-south thoroughfare and its defensibility, surrounded by water on three sides, making it easy to defend but hard to attack! Today, the ancient city of Xiangyang still preserves its city walls from the Ming dynasty to the present day very well. Encircling the city walls is a wide and long moat. Taking a leisurely walk along the path beside the moat around the city walls, one not only enjoys the pleasant scenery but can also still feel the atmosphere of ancient battles, making it a very worthwhile visit! However, I wouldn't highly recommend the ancient streets within the ancient city of Xiangyang, as they are mostly replica streets with no unique features. The products sold are also quite similar and lack diversity, making them less worthy of a visit!

🌆 Through the millennium road of time Stepping into Xiangyang is like traveling back to that tumultuous era. The ancient city walls stand tall, guarding this city full of stories. Walking on the city walls, you can feel the weight of history; every brick and tile tells the tale of past glories. 🍜 The Taste of Xiangyang Speaking of Xiangyang, how can we not mention the authentic beef noodles? The noodles are chewy, the beef tender, and the soup rich and savory, challenging the taste buds with every bite. In the streets and alleys of Xiangyang, you can always find a beef noodle shop that leaves you longing for more. 🏠 Accommodation Choices If you love shopping and the hustle and bustle of the city, Fancheng is your first choice. With its numerous shopping malls and convenience, the famous beef noodles of Xiangyang are also mostly concentrated here. If you prefer tranquility and a historical atmosphere, Xiangcheng might be more suitable for you. Although the hotels here are somewhat old-fashioned, that simplicity and serenity are the unique charms of Xiangyang. 🚶 Recommended Routes Starting from Xiangyang Park, take a leisurely walk to Weidong Machinery Factory and experience the romance of 'Hi, Mom'; then visit the Xiangyang Museum to converse with historical relics; pass through Xiangyang Ancient City to savor the charm of a thousand years; walk along the moat and city walls to admire the magnificent sunset; as night falls, the delicacies of Fenghua Road night market await you; visit Tang City Film and TV Base, as if traveling back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, unexpectedly encountering scenes from 'A Dream in Red Mansions'; finally, explore the ancient Longzhong to feel the wisdom and legend of Zhuge Liang. 📷 Photo Check-in Spots Tang City Film and TV Base is a paradise for photography enthusiasts, with its majestic buildings as if truly traveling back to the Tang Dynasty. Every corner and scene is perfect for taking photos and checking in, allowing you to easily capture the feel of a blockbuster.

The night view of the ancient city is beautiful, and Beijie is also very lively. Because it is close to the river, you can see the lights on the river surface from the city wall. I didn't go up at first, but later at night, they wouldn't let people go up anymore. The next day, I went there again during the daytime and climbed up the city wall, but it wasn't very impressive. The top was dilapidated, with just a statue of a lady and a stone figure on the wall head, not much of a view. I heard there's a Wangfu Green Shadow Wall, which charges an entrance fee. Those interested might want to check it out, but I didn't have enough time to visit. However, we bought a lot of food and trinkets The cost of living in Xiangyang is indeed low, the beef noodles are very affordable and delicious!

Surrounded by water on three sides and facing the mountains on one, the Han River's Si, a pivotal town from north to south. This is the Xiangyang where Guan Yu flooded the seven armies, This is the Xiangyang that Zhuge Liang envisioned from Longzhong, This is the Xiangyang that Guo Jing and Huang Rong defended, This is the Xiangyang that Yue Fei reclaimed, It is the Xiangyang where Meng Haoran retired to the mountains and forests. The epic of home and country, chivalry and righteousness, is written and extolled on this road! Dear friends, last night I had the fortune to set foot in that awe-inspiring foremost city of China—Xiangyang Ancient City, and experienced the historical accumulation and the spirit of narrowness and heroism there. 🌙Under the night sky, Xiangyang Ancient City seemed to be draped in a mysterious veil. This city has always been a strategic military location, where countless heroes have left their marks throughout history. Every brick and tile seems to narrate the past glory and honor. 🏞️The ancient buildings within the city have witnessed numerous battles but still stand firm. They are not only witnesses to history but also bearers of the spirit of narrowness. Walking through the alleys of the ancient city, I felt as if I could sense the bravery and heroism of those ancient warriors. 🌃Standing atop the city wall, overlooking the night view of the entire ancient city, I couldn't help but think of those past battles and heroic deeds. This city carries so much glory and sacrifice, inspiring respect. 📚Xiangyang Ancient City is not just a city, but a place full of stories and the spirit of narrowness. If you also love history and enjoy exploring the heroic deeds forgotten by time, then you must not miss this foremost city of China.

On the last day of September, I drove more than 400 kilometers and arrived in Xiangyang after nearly five hours. I checked in the ancient city in the afternoon. Xiangyang Ancient City is located on the north bank of the Han River, surrounded by a moat on three sides. The opposite bank of the Han River is Fancheng. Because Xiangyang is adjacent to Nanyang, the local accent is similar to Henan dialect. This is where Guan Yu launched the Xiangfan campaign and flooded seven armies, shaking China. It is also where Guo Jing and Huang Rong in Jin Yong's novels died heroically. Since ancient times, it has been a hub of 'southbound boats and northbound horses, connecting seven provinces'. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, moved the capital of Jingzhou to Xiangyang, and the ancient Jingzhou ticket gate still exists in the ancient city. Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou for nearly 20 years, with both grace and power, attracting people from all over the world. The next morning, after a bowl of Xiangyang beef noodles, I set off for Gulongzhong. Gulongzhong is located 15 kilometers west of Xiangyang City. It is where Zhuge Liang lived before he entered officialdom. You can still see the half-acre field under Wolonggang. Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times here, and Zhuge Liang put forward the famous 'Longzhong Plan'. In fact, Xiangyang and Nanyang have been competing for the 'land where Zhuge Liang ploughed' for a hundred years. Gu Jiaheng of the Qing Dynasty was from Xiangyang and was the prefect of Nanyang. The people of Nanyang asked him to prove that Wolonggang in Nanyang was Zhuge Liang's hiding place. Gu Jiaheng was quite embarrassed and wrote a couplet: 'The heart is in the Han Dynasty, there is no distinction between the former and the latter; the name is famous all over the world, why distinguish between Xiangyang and Nanyang'. In the Wuhou Temple, I saw the couplet written by Zhao Fan of the Qing Dynasty: 'If you can attack the heart, the rebellion will disappear by itself, knowing from the ancient times that soldiers are not fond of war; if you do not judge the situation, both leniency and strictness will be wrong, and the later management of Shu needs deep thought'. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshu, the king of Xiang, saw that Longzhong was a geomantic treasure, so he destroyed Zhuge's thatched cottage, moved Longzhong Academy, and built his own mausoleum on the original site. The original wooden buildings and inscriptions were greatly damaged. Ironically, the tomb of King Xiang was later excavated by Li Zicheng at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain at the age of 27 and died of illness at the age of 54. In the first 27 years, he studied and made friends, accumulating and releasing; in the last 27 years, he worked hard until he died. Finally, let's use a couplet to commemorate Wuhou's life achievements: 'Collecting two Sichuan, arranging eight formations, six outings and seven captures, in front of Wuzhangyuan, lighting forty-nine lamps, all for the sake of three visits; taking West Shu, pacifying the southern barbarians, reconciling the east and resisting the north, in the middle of the army tent, changing the golden wood and earth lines, the water surface can use fire attack.'

Many places in Hubei have disappointed me, but Xiangyang is definitely an exception! Although the pedestrian street in the center is not old, the designer has put his heart into it, and the building materials seem to be better, making the antique residential group and the old city wall complement each other, not abrupt at all. This city is also surprisingly clean and well managed! The mayor must be a person of taste!

The ancient city of Xiangyang is located in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Han River. The ancient city of Xiangyang was built around the sixth year of Emperor Gao of the Western Han Dynasty. It is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains, making it easy to defend but hard to attack. It is situated in the middle reaches of the Han River and has a long history. The ancient city of Xiangyang (Xiangyang urban area) has been the administrative center of provinces, prefectures, and counties since Liu Biao of the Eastern Han Dynasty came to Xiangyang to serve as the governor of Jingzhou. The old city was used as a military fortress until the Tang Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, the original earth city was converted into a brick city. The ancient city of Xiangyang, valued by military strategists throughout the ages, is one of the most famous ancient city defense systems in Chinese history and also the most complete ancient city defense architecture in China.
