Xiangyang City Wall

Go to the Cross Street, which should be the most prosperous place in Xiangyang. There is Zhaomingtai, which is the Xiangyang Museum, and a snack street. You can see the Xiangyang ancient city wall and Hanjiang Wharf at the end of the snack street. Here you can taste Xiangyang beef noodles and Gong'an Guokui, recall the battle scenes and the deeds of knights at the ancient city wall, and then go to the museum to travel through thousands of years and have a general view of the history of this ancient city.

Xiangyang, a prefecture-level city in Hubei Province, is located in the northwest of Hubei Province, in the hinterland of the middle reaches of the Han River. Xiangyang is an important member of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River urban agglomeration, a sub-central city of Hubei Province, a national historical and cultural city, and the main birthplace of Chu culture, Han culture, and Three Kingdoms culture. It has a history of more than 2,800 years and has been an important economic and military center in all dynasties. It is known as "the first city in China", "the iron Xiangyang", and "a battleground for military strategists".

Under the ancient city wall, I recall the wars of the past. The wall is not big, but it is mainly for feeling the feelings. Xiangyang is a famous historical city. It is an ancient battlefield where military strategists of all dynasties have been fighting. It is also the patriotism that the heroes in Mr. Jin Yong's works swear to defend. In the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian army besieged Xiangyang City for 6 years. Guo Jing, Huang Rong and other heroes in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" eventually died for their country because the city was broken. Before their death, they forged the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Sabre, and hid the martial arts secrets and Wu Mu's posthumous book in them, waiting for the day when he would drive out the Tartars and restore his country. Little Guo Xiang was also named because she was born here.

I have seen many ancient cities, but only a few of them have the Yangtze River as their support and background, which has a unique flavor.

The ancient city wall of Xiangyang is well preserved. There are not many cities in China that still have city walls. And unlike Xi'an, you have to pay to go up.

Xiangyang is nice. Hubei is a superpower with many strengths. Both the old and new cities are beautiful.

The Xiangyang City Wall is located in Xiangcheng District of Xiangyang, and has a strong sense of historical vicissitudes.

The old city wall of Xiangyang, Zhaoming Terrace and the moat are the most valuable tourist places in Xiangyang. Although they have undergone many renovations, they are real things and real past.

Xiangyang is a city with a sense of martial arts. When I went there in the middle of the year, it was snowing and raining, and the ground was slippery enough for skating. Because of this, there were almost no people. I went up the city wall. The ticket was 10 yuan

"Xiangyang Fu"

There are many places that make people yearn for them as soon as they hear about them, such as Xiangyang, the main battlefield of my favorite Condor Heroes. When I came here for the first time, all I could think of was Guo Xiang, with her pigtails and her amorous look. I walked up the city wall and thought of Yang Guo, the frost in the corners of his eyes, and the dashing in his one-armed figure. The smoke of war a thousand years ago has disappeared, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on me, bringing a kind of melancholy, called Mancang.



"Nian Nujiao Xiangyang Nostalgia"

The heavy black iron sword cannot pierce through, mourning in front of the Heartbreak Cliff. On the bank of Zhongnan Mountain, vaguely seen practicing swords among the ice flowers. Tomb Raider, the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, envy Lin Chaoying.

Fierce fighting in Xiangyang, the lonely city was ablaze all night. The handsome young man in the past, now the Divine Eagle Knight, roaring to the sky. Forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes, the big battle, the white clothes are whiter than snow. Brother Eagle laughed at me, sixteen years unforgettable, dreaming of love.

Sad and heartbroken, the lonely hand brings the separated people together.



The Return of the Condor Heroes

The sound of hooves is faint, Lu Wushuang's donkey is a bit crazy, the thin horse on the ancient road in the west wind is no match for my beauty. Silly boy, silly boy, the spring breeze cannot understand my heart, where are you?

The flute music was melodious, as if it was Cheng Ying singing on Peach Blossom Island. The westward-flowing water turned into huge waves, hitting the chest of Brother Yang, who was practicing sword on the beach.

A sad place, the Heartless Valley was gloomy and desolate. Gongsun Lue'e cried, "Brother Yang, how can one pill of Heartless Pill heal the wounds of three people?"

The silver needles glowed, and Li Mochou's pretty face was transformed in the fire, asking what love is in the world, and how it makes people stay together for life and death. The raging fire, the sadness, vaguely resembled the Lujiazhuang eighteen years ago.

The sword energy surged, the two swords joined together, and faced the Golden Wheel Dharma King. The five wheels were wild, the two swords were high, the gentleman and the jade girl were unparalleled in the world, how could the monks of the Western Regions understand the atmosphere of love.

Time flies, the baby girl back then has grown into a grown-up girl. At the snowy ferry, she timidly called out, "Divine Condor Hero, my name is Guo Xiang."

Life and death are in the air. Yang Guo leaped a thousand feet in front of the Heartbreak Cliff. Long Er's voice echoed in the valley. Suddenly he looked back. Could it be his aunt's face? In his eyes, there was her. How beautiful she was.

As usual, Xiao Long Nu was wearing a plain dress and had a fishtail. After sixteen years of staring at each other, Guo Er finally appeared from the sky. In her eyes, wherever he was, it was heaven.

Standing alone in Xiangyang, Guo Jing is dressed in military uniform, with the Song Dynasty in front of him, so how can he be so gloomy? Why does the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing always bring melancholy?

Bidding farewell to my reverie, I could vaguely hear Jay Chou’s sorrow in my ears: “On the Chrysanthemum Terrace, don’t cross the river in sorrow, for I’m afraid you won’t be able to reach the shore and will be rocking for the rest of your life.”

The Xiangyang City Wall has always existed. Thirty years ago, when you looked at Xiangyang City from Fancheng across the Han River, you could still see its ancient simplicity and vividness. The widest moat in China, 150 meters long, protected the "iron Xiangyang". Now a highway has been built between the Han River and the city wall, which is a big sight.

There are many scenic spots in Xiangyang.

The ancient city is well preserved, the snacks are delicious and inexpensive, and there is no waste

The city wall of Xiangyang is much shorter than that of Xi'an. The city wall is not as complete as that of Xi'an. The floor tiles on the city wall are also very mottled. But the scenery is still very good and very quiet.

The ancient city wall is well preserved. There is a city wall park between the city wall and the moat. The scenery is quiet and nostalgic.

After dinner, we walked along the Han River. Although the water level of the river running through the city had not risen to its highest level, it was still spectacular. The breeze from the river was gentle, and like many locals, we leisurely enjoyed the coolness of summer and felt the tranquility and comfort of slow life. I like this kind of small city, which is prosperous but not noisy, simple but modern. It was the first stop, and the feeling and rhythm were very good.

Xiangyang, a prefecture-level city in Hubei Province, is located in the northwest of Hubei Province, in the hinterland of the middle reaches of the Han River. Xiangyang is a provincial sub-central city, a national historical and cultural city, and the main birthplace of Chu culture, Han culture, and Three Kingdoms culture. It has a history of more than 2,800 years and has been an important economic and military center in all dynasties. It is known as "the first city in China", "the iron Xiangyang", and "a battleground for military strategists".

The best witness of Xiangyang's history is the Xiangyang Ancient City Wall. When we came out of Tang City, it was still early, so we got off the bus at Xiangyang Park and walked to the ancient city wall.

There was still some distance to walk, so I decisively scanned a bicycle and rode along the city wall. The ancient city of Xiangyang has the longest ancient city wall I have ever seen outside of Beijing. It is like a sleeping dragon adjacent to the Han River, guarding this battleground for thousands of years.

Mr. Jin's description of the magnificent life of Guo Jing and Huang Rong adds a rich and colorful stroke to Xiangyang City. Facing the iron cavalry heading south, Xiangyang City was able to defend itself for eight years without being conquered, precisely because of the high and solid city walls built by national integrity.

Now looking at the gray walls and tiles covered with moss, it seems that every brick and stone is telling the story of the iron cavalry and the icy rivers, and the glorious years of the past.

After bidding farewell to the palaces of the Five Dynasties in the snow and wind, and stopping for a moment at the three towns of Jianghan, we finally arrived at the ancient city of Xiangyang, which is known as the "place of contention for military strategists", at sunset. When we arrived at the city wall, the countless stories that took place here instantly came to our minds, which made us feel heroic. Recalling the late Han Dynasty, Zhuge Wuhou made a plan in Longzhong and established a great cause by dividing the country into three parts; recalling the Three Kingdoms, Guandi planned and strategized, flooded the seven armies and revitalized China; thinking back to the transition between the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Meng Zhongxiang supervised the battle with blood, recovered Jingxiang and turned the tide... Mountains and rivers have their own nature, and cities are full of emotions - these legendary stories that have been recorded in history and are heart-wrenching all confirm that Xiangyang, an ancient city that has experienced vicissitudes, has played an important role in the struggles of the descendants of Yan and Huang to uphold the orthodoxy of China and continue the lifeline of China. However, how can the unyielding soul and rich connotation of this flavorful city that has lasted for thousands of years be experienced by just a day of running? You will need to read it carefully in the future!

The ancient city wall stands beside the Han River. You can see people fishing behind the wall. The Han River looks very wide at night, and it is even cooler when the wind blows. Opposite the city wall is a group of antique buildings, most of which are local restaurants.

There are only four major cities in China with authentic walls from ancient times, and Xiangyang City Wall is one of them. The moat is really wide, no wonder it took the Mongols ten years to conquer Xiangyang. In fact, I don't think it's necessary to go up to the wall to see it.

2018.1.30 The whole family visited Xiangyang Ancient City. The ancient city wall here is well preserved and has a very historical feel.

Xiangyang City has been valued by military strategists of all dynasties. It is one of the most famous ancient city defense systems in Chinese history and the most complete ancient city defense building in China. The ticket to the city wall is 5 yuan, which is worth a visit.

You can go and have a look. There aren't many people there, but most of them are newly renovated.

During the 2017 winter vacation, I did social practice in Baokang, Xiangyang, and stayed in Xiangyang for a day and a half. The ancient city wall is still worth seeing. Although many people say it is an imitation of the ancient times, it does not prevent you from standing on the city wall, feeling the wind and thinking. Look at the weeping willows on the shore and the cannons on the high platform...

Xiangyang Ancient City Wall generally refers to Xiangyang City, which is located in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, on the south bank of the middle reaches of Han River. Xiangyang City was built around the sixth year of Emperor Gaodi of the Western Han Dynasty. It is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by a mountain on one side, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is located in the middle reaches of Han River and has a history of more than 2,000 years.

No entrance fee, but you have to walk a section of the road, get off and then go up again, which is inconvenient. The moat of the ancient city is really wide

The ancient city wall of Xiangyang across the river looks majestic and even more beautiful under the lights.

There is only a short section of the city wall, about a few hundred meters, where you can go and see the feelings.

In fact, the ancient city wall is divided into two sections, and the middle one is broken, so you can only walk on one section. One section is free, and the other section requires a fee.

The fee for the Lady City section is five yuan, and you can see the Han River here.

The section opposite, which is the Zhongxuan Building, is free to go up, but what you can see over there is the moat.

The scenery along the Han River is better, but there's actually not much to see and it costs five yuan.

The pricing is still quite expensive.

The ancient city wall at night is decorated with many Kongming lanterns. I like the Linhan Gate, which retains its original ancient color. The modern high-rise buildings across the river and the high-wattage billiard tables by the river destroy this beautiful scenery and look so ugly.

The ancient city is more commercialized, the environment is relatively clean, and the night view is beautiful.

Xiangyang Ancient City is located on the south bank of the middle reaches of Han River, surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side. It is about 1.6 kilometers long from north to south and about 1.4 kilometers wide from east to west. Its strategic location has been a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages. Xiangyang Ancient City was listed as a provincial key cultural relic protection unit by Hubei Province in 1956. Currently, most of the buildings in the urban area have been rebuilt. The main attractions in the ancient city include Zhaomingtai (Drum Tower) on the north side of Shizijie and the Xiangyang Museum inside, Linhan Gate (Xiaobei Gate) and Madam City, which can be reached westwards after climbing the city wall from Xiaobei Gate, Binjiang Avenue outside the north city wall (close view of Han River), and Xiangwang Mansion (Green Shadow Wall) in the south city. North Street is a relatively prosperous pedestrian street. In addition, strolling around the city along Binjiang Avenue and the greenway inside the moat is also a good choice.

One of the few well-preserved ancient cities in China, it is worth a visit

The ancient city wall of Xiangyang is located in Xiangcheng District, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province. It was first built in the early Han Dynasty (the exact date is unknown) and has been renovated many times (as evidenced by the words "Dengcheng", "Taipingxingguo", "Yue", "Guangxu" and so on on the bricks of the city wall). It is roughly square in shape. In the southeast corner, there are Zhongxuan Tower (commonly known as Huixian Tower) and Kuixing Tower, in the southwest corner, there is Shizi Tower, and in the northwest corner, there is Madam City, which reflects the Han architectural style and planning ideas of the Ming Dynasty.

The ancient city wall of Xiangyang has a history of more than a thousand years and is damaged in many places (relatively speaking, it is still relatively intact).

The city wall is very good, although it is not very long. But it is all old and has a sense of historical vicissitudes. The city wall faces the wide and clean Han River. It feels good! Recommended! It's a pity that the haze destroyed the overall style!

Going up the north gate, there is a short pedestrian street, which, like many ethnic pedestrian streets, sells small commodities and specialties.

Lady City, city wall…………………………

During the Chinese New Year, I met up with my friends at Xiangyang North Street again. We started from the museum in the afternoon, had a meal at North Street, and then went to the riverside by the city wall to release sky lanterns in the evening. It was lively during the day and the night view was nice at night.

The ancient city wall is well preserved, but there are many similar attractions in China.

Haha, it was just before the Spring Festival, and the three silly girls were determined to go there. Fortunately, there were local colleagues as tour guides~ The environment was quaint and special! Taking a boat, enjoying the ancient city while blowing the river breeze, it was a unique experience!

You can walk around for free and integrate yourself into the city wall. Could Guo Jing a hundred years ago feel the bustling atmosphere of today?

The traces of history and the tunnel of time are worth a visit.

A place you must visit when you go to Xiangyang. Xiangyang City has the widest moat in China. The most complete part belongs to the northern city wall, which stands by the Han River. You need to buy a ticket to climb the city wall. The Linhan Gate is magnificent. The west side is the place where the city was attacked during the liberation. It was seriously damaged, but has been repaired and you can climb it for free. The south side is adjacent to Nanhu Square. The left section is better (near Zhongxuan Tower), and there is nothing on the right side. There is Xiangyang Park on the east side, and the moat is very wide, which is great!

The night view is great, and it is also a pleasure to blow the wind in the moat...

The Xiangyang Ancient City Wall is located in the south of Xiangyang City, surrounding the old city of Xiangyang. There are four gates in the Xiangyang Ancient City Wall, among which the North Gate Linhan Gate is the most famous. Linhan Gate is adjacent to the Han River in the north and was the main battlefield of the Southern Song Dynasty's fight against Mongolia. The Xiangyang Ancient City Wall is mainly left over from the Ming Dynasty. After many repairs, it is now well preserved. Some places still retain their original historical appearance. There are some small shops next to the ancient city wall, which have local characteristics. There are residents next to the ancient city wall, and there are parking spaces under the city wall for parking.

The old city of Xiangyang has experienced so many wars and changes...

Xiangyang Ancient City is magnificent, the night view is beautiful, and the moat is very wide

Close to the Han River, the ancient city wall is well maintained and stretches tall and straight, showing its grandeur in the past.

Xiangyang Ancient City Wall is very famous, but after seeing so many ancient city walls, I found that they are all the same, including the ancient city behind the wall. It is worth a visit, after all, it is a prosperous commercial area.

In the afternoon, we went to see the ancient city wall at night. The hotel is very convenient to the ancient city, and public transportation is within walking distance. The road was bumpy. When I stood under the tower of Linhan Gate, I felt the vicissitudes of history. Xiangyang, the seat of the ancient Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, was a prosperous city in central and southern China. Over the past two thousand years, there have been many times of smoke and changes in the situation. Those distant figures and the iron horses have long been turned into the dust of history, but the mottled city walls under the floodlights and the moat water flowing quietly under the wall have told the later generations these vivid past events. The story of Guo Jing and Huang Rong made us obsessed and fall in love with this city. It is worth a visit for martial arts fans.

Climb up the ancient city wall of Xiangyang and look out over the Han River, where you can enjoy the endless scenery.

The night view of Xiangyang Ancient City Wall is very beautiful and magnificent. From the riverside, you can go up to the section that is not open to tourists. It feels good to walk on it.

The ancient city wall costs 3 yuan for a ticket and is over 100 meters long. People who don’t know history will definitely think it’s not worth seeing. In fact, I don’t know much about the history of the Three Kingdoms either.

I've been there many times. There are a lot of people releasing sky lanterns along the Han River. It's quite lively!

The ancient city wall of Xiangyang has been repaired quite well. The Zhaoming Terrace on the south side is the Xiangyang Museum which is free to visit, and the Linjiangmen Scenic Area on the north side is the Madam City which charges a fee. Visitors can choose freely.

Looking at the city wall from the side, the old, uneven bricks and tiles reflect the vicissitudes of the ancient city of Xiangyang!

At the foot of the city wall, bricks and tiles that have been repaired and reinforced in different historical periods since the construction of Xiangyang Ancient City are displayed.

Unfortunately, due to its age, the city wall did not circle the old city of Xiangyang. Now, there are several ruins standing intermittently around the moat of Xiangyang!

The city wall of Xiangyang is not as majestic and complete as the city wall of Xi'an. It feels more gentle and lively when you walk on it. There is still a green belt under the city wall. The city wall is still the most shocking in Xi'an, but each has its own beauty. The city wall of Xiangyang is divided into several sections, and it doesn't take too long to walk one section. You can come up and feel it. Walking on it, blowing the wind, looking at the moat and the moat park is also a good enjoyment.

I spent three yuan to go up to the city wall. There were two rusty artillery turrets and an incense burner on the city wall. What looked like an incense burner was actually a garbage can. It was made to look so old that you wouldn't know what it was used for unless you got closer. I looked down at the Han River and the inner city from the city wall. It was just so-so, not very interesting.

Climbing up the steps, you can see the entire Han River, and the river surface is hazy in the rain and fog.

Looking down at the Han River, the former heroes have long since stood like towering statues, admired by countless eyes.

The traces of time have mottled the dusty memories, the ruthless wind and rain have also washed away the depth of history, and the broad city walls still stand quietly. The once iron walls and the once powerful horses and swords will eventually fall. Perhaps you will always belong to the battlefield of galloping soldiers, and will always remember the cruel and tragic walls. Touching the soul of the ancient city wall, even if it is broken and broken, it still has unmatched majesty.

The walls of Xiangyang are thick and wide, the towers are not high, and the moat is very wide. Perhaps this is what is called impregnable.

Outside the tower is Xiangyang's moat, which is said to be the Han River. The night view of Xiangyang from the tower is a different kind of beauty.

During the 2,800 years, this wall has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. Although it is not as complete as the ancient city wall of Jingzhou, nor as thick as that of Nanjing, it has everything it should have. The rumor that "Iron Xiangyang" is not undeserved.

This is the Xiangyang City that Guo Jing and Huang Rong guarded in the legend. The Han River in the north of the city is vast and beautiful.

One day is coming to an end, and another day is about to begin. The connection between day and night is witnessed by this thick city wall, and I am standing on the shoulders of giants at this moment, feeling this day in the rings of millions of years. It is so small, but the warm setting sun stretches the shadow, even if it is only for a moment, it will be reflected on this wall that seals the memory.
