Pingyuan Jingxia Village's Baozhu Fortress is located in Jingxia Village, Renju Town, Guangdong

The fortress was built during the Qing Dynasty's Tongzhi era (about 140 years ago) amidst the Taiping Rebellion by a wealthy local named Qiu Zhudang, funded by his own wealth. It was named Baozhu Fortress because the mountain was rich in stones and was historically known for producing a unique kind of earth. The fortress stretches approximately one kilometer, with walls about seven meters high. The walls are equipped with numerous lookout holes and there is also a large bastion. There is one gate on both the eastern and western sides. Inside the fortress, the facilities are well-established, including a building, a temple, and a spring pool. Currently, there is a path leading up to the fortress from the mountain base, but the bastion has been damaged.
