I found this lonely ancient city on Trip.com by accident. Because I like this original ecology, I drive more than 1,000 kilometers to feel the desolate traces of history. Almost all the residents here have moved away, leaving empty ancient city and a few lonely elderly people. A house with a lot of loess is damaged and damaged, telling it [price-performance ratio] once the Jinge iron horse, smoke, now like the old man, close to it will be a heavy memory, a heavy responsibility.

    Yongtai Ancient City is located in the north of Shoulu Mountain, Sitan Township, Jingtai County, 25 kilometers to the east from the county seat, 185 kilometers from Lanzhou City, 115 kilometers from Baiyin City, and 125 kilometers from Zhongchuan Airport. The transportation is very convenient. It is a unique shape and relatively complete preservation of the Ming Dynasty military castle along the Silk Road Jingtai Section, an important part of the Ming Great Wall border defense system, and is now a key cultural relics protection unit in the country, a famous historical and cultural village in Gansu Province and a film and television shooting base in Gansu Province. Yongtai City was built in March of 35th year of Ming Wanli (1607 AD), and completed in June of 36th year (1608 AD), and was built by the then deputy minister of the Ministry of the Army, Jinyun Road, and built by the local earthen. The city bird's eye view is like a turtle-shaped, commonly known as a turtle city. More than 1710 meters in the city, the wall is 12 meters high, the base width is about 6 meters, and the thickness of the Shishi is 12 to 18 cm. The moon city is built on the east, west and north three sides, and the city only opens the south gate, and there is a city. There are moats (about 6 meters wide, 1 to 2.5 meters deep) in the city week, relics such as Jihai, Yuejia Tombs, Duntai, Yuantai, Point Jiangtai, School Field and other relics. The city's existing more complete are the city gate, city wall, several ancient houses, manna pool, five-eye wells and the "Yongtai Elementary School" built in the Republic of China for three years and other monuments. The remaining 33 ancient buildings such as Guandi Temple, Sanguan Temple, Yuhuang Pavilion, Laojun Pavilion, Big Buddha Temple, Chenghuang Temple, Mazu Temple, Warehouse, and Shushu were all damaged, but only relics remained. Although Yongtai City has experienced more than 400 years of wind and frost erosion, it is still majestic, standing, and the overall style still exists. Its deep cultural connotation and unique image layout are like a pearl inlaid on Jingtai Earth. It is exuding multi-purpose glory and attracting the eyes of many domestic directors. With the shooting of "The Last Winter Day", "The Snowflake That Gone", "The Destiny Wars Chama Town", "Guanghui Years", "Congress Teacher" and other film and television works, it has gradually formed a well-known "Movie and Television City" in the northwest region in recent years, the county committee, The county government attaches great importance to the protection, planning and development of the Yongtai city site. Since the approval of the State Administration of Cultural Relics in 2012, the project for the protection of Yongtai City Site has been established, and four key national cultural relics such as the wall rescue and reinforcement project, the flood control project of Yongtai City Site, the renovation project of Yongtai School Building Complex, and the construction project of the cultural and natural heritage protection facilities of Yongtai City Site have been promoted. The special subsidy funds for protection totaled 39.91 million yuan, and all projects have been completed. Jingtai is located in an important area in the east section of the Silk Road North Road. The "one belt, one road" strategy has brought unprecedented development opportunities to Jingtai tourism. With its infinite charm, Yongtai City has become a unique tourism advantage resource in Jingtai County, and the prospect of development and utilization is extremely broad.

    Located in the ancient city of Yongtai, Sitan Township, Jingtai County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, it is a national cultural relics protection unit. Because its ancient castle is shaped like a turtle, it is also known as Yongtai Turtle City. The turtle city was built in 36 years in Ming Wanli. The whole city is oval-shaped, with a half-moon-shaped city on all sides. The gate opens south and the gate is slightly west, shaped like a turtle. There is a moat in the city week, which is a complete military barrier and fortifications. It has a strategic position in the Ming and Qing generations.

    An ancient city for more than 400 years, known as the textbook of ancient Chinese military fortress. Many movies such as "Dragon Wars Chama Town" are also shot here. Every shot is a blockbuster texture, desert, sunset, lonely city... shocking
