The oasis surrounded by desert is Minqin County, Wuwei, Gansu Province. Surrounded by desert, the yellow sand has changed for a long time and is sparsely populated. But in recent years, Minqin County is famous for its rich honeydew melons and big melon seeds, and gradually merchants selling honeydew melons and melon seeds have come, which is much more lively than before. And the people who came here found a strange landscape, that is, Ruian Castle.
Ruian Castle was built by the chief security officer in the county during the Republic of China. Ryan. Two words? Rui? This word comes from the word in his name, and? Ann? Naturally, it was taken from the security guard he served at that time. Wang Qingyun, the security chief, committed various crimes at that time and became the local richest man. So, it took two years, a total of 654.38+ten thousand yuan, to build this for myself? Little imperial city? .
This Ruian Castle covers a total area of more than 5,000 square meters, including 8 courtyards and 7 pavilions, and the number of houses has reached 140. The most conspicuous part of Ruian Castle is the 10-meter-high wall. At that time, Wang Qingyun did evil and plundered people's wealth. Although he dominates one side, he is also afraid of retaliation. Therefore, to build such a high fence for defense, there are dark passages, darkrooms and countless shooting holes in the fort, which can be described as an iron wall.
The whole Ruian Castle is an excellent building because of its ingenious design and exquisite layout. After Wang Qingyun was shot in 195 1, Ruian Castle was confiscated. Now it is used as a folk museum and a new local tourist attraction. Although the age of Ruian Castle is not very long, it also has unique historical significance.
