Yongtai Ancient City, Gansu | Feel the history and culture.

Who knew! Gansu has such an ancient city ✨ Yongtai Ancient City was built in the 36th year of the Wanli period of the Ming dynasty, more than 400 years ago. It is a military fortress made of rammed earth, and a well-preserved ancient castle. Due to a lack of water resources, the ancient city was once abandoned, but its appearance still attracts many tourists. 👀 Climb the ancient city wall to overlook the whole view of Yongtai Ancient City, and see the snow-capped peaks of the Qilian Mountains in the distance. The roads inside and outside the ancient city crisscross, making it very suitable for taking photos. Some residents still live in the ancient city, and they have retained their traditional way of life, making you feel like you have traveled back in time. The ancient city is very quiet at night, with only the stars and the sound of insects to accompany you. 👀 I stayed here for one night and felt the charm and tranquility of the ancient city. It was an unforgettable travel experience!
