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 in Hunan that have become scenic spots at present, Fenghuang Ancient Town is undoubtedly the most famous, and 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 heritage of their ancient city is better than that of Phoenix, and it is blown out, but it is 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. But personally, if it is deeper than the ancient city of Fenghuang, it is still recognized, 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, located at the eastern foot of Xuefeng Mountain and 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 1549 square kilometers and a total population of 830,000. It is also a well-known 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. Streets and alleys smell of halogen everywhere, but people forget that this is actually an ancient city with a history of more than 2 100 years. Wugang County was established during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.

But now this 2 100-year-old ancient city has not been completely preserved like the ancient city of Fenghuang. The whole Wugang city can also prove that it was once 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 These places have also become the surviving scenic spots in Wugang City, but other places have been replaced by modern concrete buildings.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 them. Naturally, it is Feng Xuan Tower, Wugang Ancient City Wall, Wugang Military Academy, Confucius Temple, Lingyun Tower, Zhongshan Hall, Shi Lang Village and other places built in the old city in the Song Dynasty with the pattern of "inner city, little king city and outer city". These places also preserve 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, the cultural and historical background of Wugang is still profound. If you want to know about this ancient city, you can stay here for a while and chat with the local old people. I believe you won't lose the harvest of other cities with many scenic spots. Do you know any other ancient cities that have disappeared?
