Shanxi, you don't promote this place, you are confused

🏛️: Compared to Qiao's Compound and Wang's Compound, I prefer this ancient village hidden in the deep mountains, Zhangbi Ancient Castle. It is not only an ancient village but also one of the more intact miniature "castles" in China that integrates military, residential, productive, astronomical, and religious activities. ⭐ Visitor's Guide: Zhangbi Ancient Castle was built during the Northern Dynasties and Sixteen Kingdoms period, it was once a military fortress and has a history of over 1600 years. Zhangbi Ancient Castle encompasses many cultural relics and historical sites, including the ancient cultural sites of the Xia and Shang dynasties, Northern Dynasties tunnels, Jin dynasty tombs, Yuan dynasty stages, and Ming and Qing dynasty residential buildings. The layout of the ground in Zhangbi Ancient Castle corresponds to the twenty-eight constellations, with bright castles above ground and secret passages below. The ancient tunnels from the Northern Dynasties are about ten thousand meters long, with three levels, upper, middle, and lower, equipped for both attack and defense, which is quite magical. Zhangbi Ancient Castle is located in Jiexiu, which is known as the 'Hometown of Colored Glaze Art', and the colored glaze of Zhangbi Ancient Castle is its typical representative. The temples and halls in the ancient castle are mostly covered with colored glaze, with dragons and phoenixes flying, animals running, peonies blooming, warriors standing quietly, the colors are gorgeous, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and they still shine brightly after hundreds of years. 📍 Detailed Address: Zhangbi Ancient Castle 🚌 It is about a 30-minute drive from Jiexiu county town, suitable for self-driving; take bus 301 from Jiexiu Train Station directly to Zhangbi Ancient Castle, departing every half past the hour, with one bus per hour, the last bus at 17:20. 🎫 75 yuan
