Treasure of the Ancient Chuanjiang River | Twin River Arch Soldier Village, a thousand-year-old rock city

The top of the Twin Rivers towers like a millstone, and the ancient soldier village enjoys a great reputation. General Lu of the Southern Song Dynasty resisted the Yuan Dynasty, and Tan Yi of the Ming Dynasty occupied this city. 【Note】Yunyang Rock City, also known as Big Rock City, Millstone Village, is located at the top of Twin Rivers Town, shaped like a giant millstone, hence the name. Expanded in the Song Dynasty, and completed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Qing 'Yunyang County Chronicles' says: 'Rock City is the pillar of Kui Gate, the guarantee of Dongchuan'. The Rock City has cliffs on all sides, with a vertical height of 30-50 meters, and its top is flat, with a total area of about 3.5 hectares. There are only two village gates before and after. There are many historical stories: The most exciting story happened in the Southern Song Dynasty, when Sichuan commander Yu Jie's deputy Lu Shikui, obeyed the order to lead troops to resist the Yuan and held on for many years here. During the Yuan Dynasty, Tanhua Temple was built on the village. In the Ming Dynasty, Tan Yi, the Marquis of Xianghua, occupied this city and resisted Zhang Xianzhong's entry into Sichuan.
