In fact, there are many ancient cities, towns and villages in Hunan Province, but some places have basically disappeared at present. For example, Changsha used to be an ancient city, but now only Jinggang ancient town still exists alone. Among the ancient towns that have become scenic spots in Hunan, Fenghuang Ancient Town is undoubtedly the most famous. It is also known as the two famous ancient cities in China together with Pingyao Ancient Town. But people in a place in Hunan say that the cultural background of their ancient city is better than that of Phoenix, which is blown out and not as good as our town!

This city is Wugang, Shaoyang, and it is also an ancient cultural city with only some historical sites like Changsha. However, personally, it is recognized if it is deeper than the ancient city of Fenghuang, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that the ancient city of Fenghuang is not as good as a small town in Wugang.

So what kind of city is Wugang City in Shaoyang? Wugang City is a county-level city managed by Shaoyang City, located at the eastern foot of Xuefeng Mountain, and is the geographical center of five counties (cities) in the southwest of Shaoyang City. Known as "the thoroughfare of the three provinces and the important place of Guizhou and witchcraft". Today, the city has a total area of 1.549 square kilometers and a total population of 830,000. It is also a famous county-level city in China.

Wugang, as an ancient city with profound cultural heritage, is now a bit unworthy of its name. Today, this county-level city is famous for its pot-stewed flavor. When we entered wugang city, the first thing that attracted us was the pot-stewed taste of Wugang. In the streets, there is a smell of halogen everywhere, but people forget that it is actually an ancient city with a history of more than 265,438+000 years. Wugang county was set up during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.

But now this 2 100-year-old ancient city has not been completely preserved like Fenghuang ancient city. The whole Wugang city can still prove that it used to be an ancient city, and there are only a few places. These places have also become the surviving scenic spots in Wugang City, but other places have been replaced by modern concrete buildings.

If you visit Wugang, I suggest you take photos and enjoy it. Naturally, it is the Feng Xuan Tower, the ancient wall of Wugang, the old city built in the Song Dynasty with the pattern of "inner city, little king city and outer city", Wugang Military Academy, Confucius Temple, Lingyun Tower, Zhongshan Hall, Shi Lang Village and other places. These places also preserved Wugang City as the last witness of the ancient city. In fact, in Wugang, there are many Ming prisoners.

Although many ancient buildings have disappeared, Wugang's cultural and historical heritage is still profound. If you want to know about this ancient city, you can stay here for a while and talk to the local old people. I believe you won't lose the harvest of other cities with many scenic spots. What other ancient cities do you know that have disappeared?
