Shanxi trip - Diji City

Before the Fen River (also known as the Ji River) was diverted, Diji City was built with the river as a barrier, becoming a rare integrated water and land defense castle near Yangcheng. The meaning of Di is taken from the mainstay of the middle stream, which means very strong. From the outside, the building materials of the castle are no different from other castles; if you walk into the castle, you will find that its walls are covered with honeycomb structures, that is, a large number of crucibles are used as city building materials. This is probably because the local iron industry is developed, and these crucibles are abundant, and then turned into treasures and become part of the city wall. If you take a bird's eye view of the castle, you will find that it is oval. Although the whole is not large, it is connected as a whole. The alleys are narrow, and many courtyards are connected by overpasses to facilitate the transfer of villagers. This makes it possible to counterattack and deter the enemy even if it is broken by the enemy. There is a kind of flower roll with jujube here, which is a local specialty. The uncles and aunts at the entrance of the village put it on the fire and roasted it in a short while. Ten yuan for 3, 7 yuan for 2, it tastes crispy and sweet, which is very good. Compared with the Imperial City Xiangfu and Guoyu Village, the experience of visiting here is weaker. But it is worth a visit. 1. Travel tips 1 Ticket: 30 yuan.
