Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor
Undoubtedly, there are still thousands of statues to be found at this archaeological site, which was only discovered in 1974. The tomb of Qin Shi Huang (died in 210 BC), the first unifier in Chinese history, is surrounded by the famous Terracotta Army at the center of a complex designed to reflect the urban planning of the capital city of Xi'an. The statuettes are all different; with horses, chariots and weapons, they are masterpieces of realism and of great historical significance.
The Great Wall
Around 220 BC, during the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi, sections of earlier fortifications were linked together to form a unified defense system to protect against invasions from the north. Construction of the Great Wall continued until the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), when it became the largest military structure in the world. Its historical and strategic importance is rivaled only by its architectural significance.
Zhangguolaoshan
Zhang Guolao Mountain, also known as Xianweng Mountain, is located 15 kilometers west of Xingtai City, with the main peak at an altitude of 449 meters. It is a national AAA-level scenic spot and the first batch of provincial scenic spots in Hebei Province. According to the ancient Tang Dynasty stele on the mountain, this mountain was originally named Wufeng Mountain, where Guangzong Taoist Zhang Guo lived in seclusion and practiced and became one of the Eight Immortals. Emperor Minghuang of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, regarded Laozi as his ancestor, suppressed Buddhism and promoted Taoism, so he conferred Zhang Guo the title of Xianweng, changed Xingzhou Wufeng Mountain to Xianweng Mountain, and built a Qixia Temple for Zhang Guo. The cave after the temple was renamed Xianweng Cave. As early as the Ming Dynasty, the "Xianweng Ancient Cave" was known as one of the eight scenic spots in Xingzhou.
Xuanhua Cultural Ancient City Tourist Area
Xuanhua Ancient City Tourist Area, a tourist area in Zhangjiakou City, is known as the "First Prefecture in Western Beijing". Xuanhua City was first built in the first year of Emperor Xinzong of Tang Dynasty (888) and started to be built in the seventeenth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1394). The circumference of the city is 100 kilometers. Because Zhu Sui, the nineteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, was conferred the title of King of Valley, it was built into a large-scale city with a structure similar to that of the capital. In the thirty-second year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1693), Xuanfu Guard was abolished and replaced by Xuanhua Prefecture, which means to spread education. Xuanhua got its name from this. It is the first prefecture city west of Beijing, so it is called "First Prefecture in Western Beijing". There are 3 national key cultural relics protection units, 10 Hebei Provincial key cultural relics protection units in the tourist area, and 9 of them are "First in Western Beijing".
