ZIMO.

At dusk, I visited Xuanhuagang, Zhangjiachuan, Tianshui, Gansu, and suddenly found an ancient castle on the top of the mountain. A local friend said that the castle was called Ningling Fort. It was built in the late Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 100 years. Ningling Fort is close to Zhangjiachuan's famous Xuanhuagang scenic spot, at the highest point of the mountain peak, condescending. The four sides of the ground cover a high wall of more than 10 meters high, the inside is flat, and there is a football field size. What is the castle on the top of the mountain for? It turned out that during the late Qing Dynasty, the war was frequent. In order to defend against the disaster, the locals built the old castle on the commanding heights of the easy-to-understand attack. As a group training base, the local villagers also took the family to live in the evening. In fact, not only in Zhangjiachuan Xuanhuagang, there are Ningling Fort. In many places in Tianshui, Gansu, you can still see such an ancient castle all without exception, built on the top of the mountain high ground, most of which were built in the late Qing Dynasty.
