Site of the Old City of the Ningguta General's Garrison

Many TV dramas about the Qing dynasty often feature the phrase "guilty of a serious crime, exiled to Ningguta." In reality, Ningguta is not a pagoda, but a region in Hailin, Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province. It is remote and desolate with harsh conditions. Back then, officials who committed heinous crimes would face this exile, and commoners or scholars who acted in defiance would also be sent to the remote and isolated Ningguta. It is said that Zheng Zhilong, the father of Koxinga, and the poet Wu Zhaoqian had such experiences. Today, the desolation of Ningguta still lingers. The Site of the Old City of the Ningguta General's Garrison resembles ruins—somber and desolate—retaining its unique, bitter, cold, and lonely atmosphere from the past. The original buildings are gone, leaving only a stone tablet that bears witness to everything that once happened here.
