The most interesting part of Zhangbi Castle is in the underground part. The tunnel is winding and vague, and it is divided into three layers. There is a soil trough at the top, which is used to feed livestock. There is an earth hole that can accommodate two or three people at intervals below the middle cave wall, which is an authentic sentry; This is a cave for storing grain. There are managers, general caves, patio wells, granaries, flood cleaning and anti-blocking facilities, wall communication facilities and assassination agencies. However, when and by whom Mingbao Tunnel was built has always been a mystery to archaeologists.
From the horse path to the city wall, Kuixing Tower overlooks the whole castle. All castles are paved with bluestone roads. After years of tempering, they are full of Cang Sang! The houses in the castle are high in the west and low in the east, with the high-walled courtyard of the rich in the west and the low mud brick houses of ordinary people in the east. As can be seen from the tunnel model, this underground passage, which was built in Sui and Tang Dynasties, is complex and huge, and it is the only tunnel in China for thousands of years. The tour guide said that only one tenth of it has recovered.
In the tunnel, two people can walk side by side. One is tall, with complete facilities and a comprehensive concept. I can't help sighing the wisdom of the ancients.
Apart from tunnels, this village is also very unusual, with beautiful buildings, several temples, stages, shadow puppetry and puppet shows.
A very simple village, everything is original ecology, a 4A-level scenic spot, and many shooting spots, especially "Where is Dad Going 5", make Zhangbi Castle more popular. Zhangbi Castle is a rare pocket town in the world. It can really be described as: one village, one fort and one world.
