💓Tangya Tusi City is well preserved as an ancient city site. 👉There are relatively few people and it is very quiet. ✔️You can taste the legendary life of Tujia Tusi. Most of them are relics and sites. ↘️Many are foundations. ↙️There are only a handful of unearthed cultural relics. ↖️The eyes are full of green. Most of the ground buildings no longer exist. ⏬The wall city and the blue brick-paved roads and the remaining buildings. 👏You can feel the magnificence of Tusi City and imagine its former glory. 👏It is very suitable for those who like culture and history to check in‼ ️ 📍Address of the attraction: Tangya River, Tangya Town, Xianfeng County, Enshi Shijia Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province Opening hours: ✅November to February of the following year 08:30-17:00, no entry after 16:00 ✅March-October 08:30-17:30, no entry after 16:00 🎟️Ticket related: 🔵Tickets: Adult ticket 70 yuan Battery car: 10 yuan/person 🚗 Transportation to attractions: ↘️Start from Enshi Bus Station, take the bus 🚌 to Xianfeng County Bus Station, and after arriving at Xianfeng County, take the bus from the bus station to Tangya Town, with an average of about 20 minutes per bus. ⏩The location is relatively remote, so it is more convenient to drive by yourself🚙. You can directly navigate to the Tangya Tusi Ruins. It is about 20 kilometers away from Xianfeng County by car. ✅It takes about three and a half hours to drive from Enshi. There are places to park. 🌟Highlights: 💓The main ethnic group of the site is the Tujia people who have settled here since ancient times. 👆Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it has been ruled by the Tan family. The existing ruins have a history of 381 years, 16 generations and 18 officials. ↪️Together with the Tusi Site of Hailongtun in Zunyi and the Laosi City Site of Yongshun in Hunan, ✨it was selected as a "Tusi Site" in the World Cultural Heritage List. 🚩In May 2023, Tangya Tusi City Site was selected into the "Yangtze River World Heritage Tour". 🔰It is the Tusi administrative site with the most complete urban layout. ☑️It is the political, economic, military and cultural center of Tangya Tusi, and was built after careful selection and scientific planning❗️ 👍️Must-see attractions: ↖️The main attractions include the "Jingnanxiong Town" archway, stone men and stone horses, Zhangwang Temple, government office area, large temple hall, quarry, Qiaoshang Bridge, Zhongjie, 72-step Chaotian Horse, Tusi tombs, etc. ⏬The relics of the scholars mainly include porcelain, official seals, brick and stone building components, etc.🔰 The government office area is a neat rectangle, adopting a strict "central axis symmetry" layout and a "front court and rear bedroom" pattern. It consists of three core buildings, namely the Grand Yamen, the Official Hall, and the Inner Residence, as well as some ancillary buildings. The former urban government office was located here. The "Jingnan Xiongzhen" archway⬆️ is the only complete ground building left now. It has four pillars, three doors and three floors, and is made entirely of stone imitating a wooden structure. The patterns on the stone archway are auspicious. The "Jingnan Xiongzhen" and "Chu Shu Pinghan" on the archway were written by Emperor Xizong himself‼ ️ The city wall ↗️ is built with slightly processed natural stones. Most of it is still visible now. ↘️ The river side is the best preserved. An outer city wall was built on most of the east/north/south sides, and an inner city wall was built on the north/northeast side. Zhangwang Temple🌈mainly worships Zhang Fei, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms. It has a three-courtyard layout.↙️Now only the temple foundation, a pair of stone men and stone horses, and four steles inscribed with the reconstruction of the temple remain intact. The Tusi Tomb is well-preserved. It is the tomb of the second generation Tusi. It is a semi-underground stone chamber tomb. It is the largest, highest-level and most unique Tusi tomb known so far. The Husband and Wife Fir is also called "Xuanwu Fir". There are two trees in total, each 400 years old. The branches of the two trees are intertwined and stand side by side, like a couple holding hands. The three streets, eighteen alleys and thirty-six courtyards are divided into several courtyards by a road system formed by a north-south main road, three vertical and three horizontal secondary roads and dozens of alleys. The street is the most complete Ming Dynasty stone slab road preserved in my country. It runs through the whole city from north to south, ↖️ and is divided into three streets: upper, middle and lower. 🔰 It is nearly 900 meters long and the road surface is paved with blue sandstone. The dark wood is 17 meters long, 15 meters in diameter and weighs about 20 tons. ✔️On the second day after the Tusi City was successfully listed as a World Heritage Site, it was salvaged from the bottom of the Tangya River due to overflow. 🎉It has a special fragrance and is immortal and not afraid of insects. 💗Other tips: ✅There is still a certain distance from the ticket office to the scenic area, about 20-30 minutes' walk. 👉There is a flat road along the river, so you can walk there if you are not in a hurry. 👇You can also take a sightseeing bus, which costs an additional 10 yuan. ✅There are signboards (in Chinese and English) in the open area. 🈶Just follow the signboards and the plank road, and don't deviate from the route to explore on your own. ✅It is recommended to bring some water and some food. 👇There are few trash cans, so don't litter, just take it away. ✅There is an exhibition hall in the area, 🚩you can go in and take a closer look, 👉there are overall and detailed introductions to the ruins area, as well as relevant historical background knowledge of the Tusi system. ✅These are all original ecological sites, 👇The stone roads are covered with moss, 👉Be careful not to slip. When the weather is hot, you need to be careful about sun protection as there is no shelter.
