Ruins of the Taiping Rebellion Army Mountain Stronghold

The ruins of the Taiping Rebellion Army mountain stronghold is a cultural tourism attraction.

The ruins of the Taiping Rebellion Army mountain stronghold are located in Pantian Village, Kuzhu Town. The entire stronghold sits atop a steep rocky mountain, with the main peak reaching an elevation of 345 meters. At the top there is a stone pool, and below lies a deep abyss. There is a path called "Budiao Pass," where in ancient times people used ropes made of cloth to climb up to the cliff top. The top is wide enough to accommodate hundreds of households. There are also other passes such as Jinxing, Xiling, and Qiaoxi, all suspended on cliffs and defensible by just one person. In the early Qing Dynasty, the rebel army of Chen Baihua set up camp here to resist the Qing. · To the northeast of One-Line Sky (Yixiantian) lies Dripping Water Stronghold. The two strongholds are connected by a sheer cliff that forms an embracing shape. Beside the cliff are two small paths called Yan Pass. Within the embrace of the cliffs lies a deep pool. To the southeast of the pool, the two strongholds face each other across Taiyu, while a small stream beneath the cliffs flows into the deep pool. The stream is so narrow that only a single bamboo raft can pass through. Standing on the raft and looking up, you can see just a sliver of blue sky — hence the name "One-Line Sky," also known as "Thousand-Bamboo Fork." To the northeast of Dripping Water Stronghold there are ruins of cliff tombs.
