Rammed earth wall of Woniu ancient city: From the air, Zuoyun ancient city looks like a lying cow. Any wall in the ancient city, any temple, is a part of the bones and blood organs of the lying cow, which is very exquisite. Such a building structure is also rare in the world. After more than 600 years of vicissitudes, the original appearance of the ancient city was destroyed, but the east, west and south walls were almost well preserved, and the Lengyan Temple, which was later restored, reappeared brilliantly.
Bataizi church
Bataizi church in the evening
Bataizi Church: Bataizi Church was built on the hillside behind Bataizi Village in the second year of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty (1876). Now the main part has collapsed, leaving only the tower standing in the wind. Notre Dame de Bataizi, which belongs to Gothic architectural style, echoes the Great Danba in Macau, and the brick carving pattern on the front is extremely exquisite. It is one of the seven holy places of Catholicism in China. Such a building with western characteristics is really built according to the Great Wall of Motianling, and the collision between eastern and western cultures is very interesting. Covers an area of about 100 square meter.
Archery tower
Inside the arrow tower
Zhenning hollow arrow tower: Zhenning arrow tower, also known as enemy tower, also known as Mashita. This building is the best-preserved hollow enemy building made of stone-based blue bricks since the Great Wall entered Shanxi from Hebei.
Zhenning building is divided into two floors. The lower floor enters from the south gate, and there are stairs leading to the upper floor. There are four arrow windows in the upper floor, three arrow windows in the north and a small door in the west arrow window in the south. This building is a cloister building. Follow the tall and narrow stairs all the way up, layer by layer, and climb to the top. Wow, the Great Wall of Motianling in the distance is very spectacular. Instantly understand what is the infinite scenery of dangerous peaks, and the fear of climbing the arrow tower disappears.
Looking out of the window of the watchtower, I can see the Great Wall.
Motianling Great Wall: Located in the north of Zuoyun County, it spans three towns: Santun, Zhangjiachang and Guanjiabao, and borders Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region across the Ming Great Wall in the north. A section of Motianling Great Wall has been developed into Motianling Great Wall Scenic Area. Although it is not famous and there are not many tourists, the scenery is really charming. The core scenic spots include Motianling section, Ninglukou section, Bataizi section, Weilukou section, Yuehuachi, Baiyangkou section, and Zuoyun County boundary in the east; The small side of the Great Wall runs from the black soil mouth to the loess mouth.

Yuehuachi aerial photography
Yuehuachi: Yuehuachi is located inside the Beiming Great Wall in Zuoyun Road Village and is closely connected with the Great Wall. This is a unique pocket town built on the Great Wall. Yuehuachi takes the Great Wall as the north wall, and the other three walls are built in the southeast and west respectively, forming a castle with a circumference of about 260 meters, which is almost as big as Beijing Xiaotuancheng. It should be the smallest castle in the world. It integrates many military functions such as electric soldiers, lookout, alarm and even fighting. There is a beacon tower two feet higher than the city wall on the north wall.
Yuehuachi is shaped like a "bow", with curved walls on the east, south and west, which looks like a few backs; The wall due north is straight, but it is like the "string" of this bow. Yuehuachi is the Guancheng at the intersection of the city and one of the passages to the west. The Great Wall, which is connected with the Moon Flower Pool, is intact, just like a winding dragon, prancing and hovering on the Motianling, which is very steep and spectacular. Since it is a military fortress, why is there such a romantic name? Isn't it mysterious? This is the characteristic of Zuo Yun.
Besides, there are many precious historical sites in Zuoyun, such as Santunbao, Luning Fort, Lu Wei Fort, Baoan Fort, Guanjiabao Fort, Yunxi Fort and Zuoyun Acropolis.
Besides the Great Wall Castle, we also went to the He Shili Wetland in Zuoyun. It is amazing that there is such a large area of water and green space outside the Great Wall.
Zuo Yun has too much charm and beauty. Even three days is not enough. I just hope to have a real tour in the future.
Jing Meiren is not stuck in traffic jams, hiding a real world-class beauty. Zuo Yun is even more amazing than you think!
