The ancient city I always wanted to visit! Resurrection 📸Underwater ancient city|Wenyuan Lion City (I)

In 1959, the former Chun'an County and Sui'an County of Zhejiang Province were merged into the present Chun'an County in order to build the Xin'an River Hydropower Station, the largest hydraulic hub project at the time. 290,000 people have moved away from their hometowns. The two thousand-year-old cities of Lion City and Hecheng, along with 27 towns, more than 1,000 villages, 300,000 acres of fertile farmland and thousands of houses, quietly sink into the bottom of the Thousand Islands Lake⏳💧 #photography hotspots #photography good places #Shenzhen itinerary The ancient city of Chun'an, also known as Hacheng, was founded in 208 AD. The county seat of Sui'an was moved to the current boundary of Sui'an in the 4th year of Wude (621 AD). It is also called Lion City🏯 because it is backed by the Five Lions Mountain There are many scenic spots and monuments in Lion City, including ancient buildings such as ancient pagodas, archways, Tongyue Temple, Chenghuang Temple, Chung Lie Bridge, Five Lions College, and ancient tombs from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are five gates in the Lion City: the East Gate (Xingwen Gate), the South Gate (Xiangming Gate), the Little West Gate (Kangfu Gate), the Great West Gate (Jingwu Gate), and the North Gate (Gongji Gate). The towers are topped with giant stone slabs, bricked on all sides, with arches open on either side, and ride on the walls. The northwest corner and the northern half of the city wall are built along the hill. The terrain is steep and spectacular. There are main streets such as East Street, South Street, West Street, North Street, Straight Street and Cross Street in the city. The intersection of East Street, North Street and Straight Street is the busiest square in front of the County Department 🔥 As a corner of ancient Huiwu, Lion City is deeply influenced by Huizhou merchants and Huizhou culture. They also built many festivals and filial piety squares, merit name squares, merit squares and ancestral halls of various surnames, etc. 🏮 The most attractive features of Wenyuan Lion City are the seven archways on the main street - Zhongyi Square, Father and Son Chuanfang Square (Xiaoyi Square), Xujiang Xunliang Square, Yumen Third Class Square, Kejia Liandeng Square, Zhuangyuan Square, Tianbao Festival Xiaofang (Wang's Chastity Square) #Register tripbest July hotel sleeper
