Jiuyan Mountain Ruins
A historical site from the Ming and Qing dynasties, located at the summit of Jiuyan Mountain in Qiliping Town, Hong’an County, covering an area of approximately 1 million square meters. It primarily consists of relics from the late Ming Dynasty when Minister of War Zhang Jinyan resisted the Qing invasion. Currently, about 2.8 kilometers of fortress walls remain, and within the fortress there are dozens of ancient architectural ruins such as military training grounds and watchtowers. This site is of great value for studying the history of the Southern Ming resistance against the Qing and the region’s historical culture. (Fifth Batch)
