#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Chongqing, China is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many scenic spots in Chongqing. This time I will introduce a famous scenic spot in Chongqing: Diaoyucheng. Diaoyucheng is a small city in Bashu, located on Diaoyu Mountain in Hechuan, Chongqing. However, it is the most powerful battle city - even after the fall of Xiangyang City and the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, Diaoyucheng was still the only city that had not been conquered by the Mongols. It is said that when the Southern Song Dynasty was resisting the Mongol invasion, they were unable to capture Diaoyucheng after a long siege. The military and civilians of Diaoyucheng fought against the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty for 36 consecutive years, and fought more than 200 battles of varying sizes. During this period, the fourth Mongol Khan "Mongke" was hit by a flying stone and died in the war. As a result, the Mongol Khanate had to withdraw its troops from the Eurasian battlefield and suspended its attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, buying the Southern Song Dynasty more than 20 years of respite. . From then on, Diaoyucheng became famous throughout the world and created a rare example of the weak defeating the strong in the history of Chinese and foreign wars. Therefore, it was praised by Europeans as "the place where God broke his whip." . 【Diaoyucheng Introduction】 . Today, the Diaoyucheng ruins are the best-preserved ancient battlefield ruins in China to date, and have been rated as one of the "Top Ten Cultural Symbols of Chongqing." Diaoyucheng is located on a peninsula at the confluence of the Jialing River, the Fu River, and the Qu River, with a total area of ​​2.5 square meters. There are relics left by the Song Dynasty army and the Mongolian army in the local area, such as city gates, city walls, imperial palaces, martial arts offices, infantry camps, naval docks and other sites, as well as Diaoyutai, Huguo Temple, Xuanfo Temple and other famous places, as well as relief carvings from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. . 【Main attractions】 . 1. Guarding the Country Gate Huguo Gate is the landmark building of Diaoyucheng and the largest pass. On the city platform is a double-eaved hip-and-gable roof tower, 7 meters high. The building is backed by a steep cliff to the north and faces a cliff to the south, with ancient banyan trees intertwined next to it, which is spectacular. . 2. Town West Gate It is one of the eight gates of Diaoyucheng. The city gate is located on the cliff of the small hill fort in the west city. In the past, the military and civilians of Diaoyucheng used a plank road to enter and exit. The Zhenxi Gate blocked dozens of attacks by the elite Mongol troops, playing an important role of "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men unable to break through." . 3. City Wall It is built with stones from the cliff and has a total length of 8,000 meters. After Diaoyucheng surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, part of the city wall was demolished and underwent several repairs during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
