Underrated Treasure City | This is the most unpopular ancient city I have visited this year.

It is a national 5A-level tourist attraction. 🎉 🌟History🌟 - 📜Built in the Spring and Autumn Period: The history of Guangfu Ancient City can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, when it was called Quliang, more than 2,600 years ago. 😮 - 🕰️Changes over the dynasties: Since the Western Han Dynasty, it has successively become the seat of counties, prefectures, states, and counties in successive dynasties. 👏 🏰Architectural Features🏰 - 🧱City Wall and Moat: The city wall is 4.5 km long, 12 m high, and 8 m wide, and is basically intact. The moat outside the city is 100 m wide and 5 km long, forming a "one city and two waters" landscape. 😍 - 🎑Architectural Style: The buildings in the city are mainly in the form of northern quadrangle courtyards in the southern Hebei style, mostly with independent courtyards, facing south, with hard mountain roofs, and exquisite stone carvings. 👍 📍Main Attractions📍 - 🏯Ancient City and City Wall: A national key cultural relic protection unit, the existing city wall was built in the Ming Dynasty, and the streets in the city retain the scale and direction of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many Qing Dynasty residences. 🤩 - 🏛️Guangping Prefecture: Located at the northern end of the north-south central axis of the ancient city, it is one of the famous three prefectures in the south of the capital in history. ✨ - 🌉Hongji Bridge: A single-hole double-open shoulder stone arch bridge, 48.9 m long and 6.82 m wide, similar to Zhaozhou Anji Bridge, with exquisite reliefs. 😚 - 🏠Former Residences of Yang Luchan and Wu Yuxiang: The former residences of the founders of Yang-style and Wu-style Tai Chi, respectively, are in the Qing Dynasty style and are well preserved. 🥰 🤸‍♂️Cultural Value🤸‍♀️ - 🥋Tai Chi Culture: This is the birthplace of Yang-style and Wu-style Tai Chi, known as the "Hometown of Tai Chi in China". 👏 🚗Transportation Guide🚗 - 🚌Bus: From Handan Station, take bus 605 (Tour 1) directly to the south gate of Guangfu Ancient City, or get off at the east gate at the terminal, the fare is only CNY 6. 😎 - 🚗Self-driving: There are parking lots near the east gate and south gate, and there are also parking spaces on the side of the road.
