    Highlights: The ancient city of Gaojiabao is located about 50 kilometers southwest of Shenmu County, Yulin City, and about 5 kilometers away from the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty. The ancient city of Gaojiabao was built in the fourth year of the orthodox Ming Dynasty (1439). The ancient city of Gaojiabao was built as a rammed earth city at first, and then re-wrapped with wall bricks in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1608). Today's ancient city of Gaojiabao, whether it is the city wall seen outside, or the streets and houses in the city, all maintain the pattern at that time. For those tourists who like the ancient city, walking around in Gaojiabao must not be a problem. will disappoint you. The ancient city of Gaojiabao has a rectangular plane. Tourists can walk along the city wall. On the way, they can see a large section of the city wall. During the period, there are defense systems such as crenels and lookout holes. There is a rolling door and an urn city. These buildings, which have been preserved since the Ming Dynasty, have stood here for five or six hundred years. The ancient city of Gaojiabao is still in the semi-open stage, which is undoubtedly good news for the "old city control". The streets in the city are centered on Zhongxing Building, and the four directions are East and West Streets, South Street and North Lane. South Street is more prosperous. The Zhongxing Building is not often open, but it is guarded. You can ask the person in charge to help open the door, and then go up to the Zhongxing Building to overlook the entire ancient city. At present, there are not many tourists in the ancient city. You can walk in the quiet streets and see the old houses on the side. There are many old shops on South Street, but most of them have not opened. The residential buildings here are basically of the typical northern architectural style, including courtyard houses, such as the Li Family Courtyard in Beixiang; There are also courtyards, such as the Lijialouyuan in Cross Lane and the Liujialouyuan in Tongxin Lane. Or you can find a place in the city to be in a daze, and take a trip through the world like a psychic.
