Introduction

As one of the important cultural heritage, castles always attracted many attentions and visitors including us. We are familiar with European-style castles. But do you know there are ten thousand castles around China?

Chinese castles represent courage, protection, romance, culture, big family and mysterious treasure to explore. Through Chinese Castle, you will better understand yesterday and today’s country life in China.

Different types of Chinese-style castles will be introduced, including the only one castle who was designed based on the shape of the Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Chinese constellations system, with 10km tunnel. You will be shared as well the history about cultural heritage protection and rural construction in China.
