Ancient Military Tourism Zone of Chuangwangzhai (Fortress of the Rebel King)

　　"Chuangwangzhai," originally named "Dinglongzhai," was named after Li Zicheng, the Rebel King, who entered and exited the Shangluo Mountains eight times and stationed his troops here. Located at the eastern foothills of Majieling on the western outskirts of Shangzhou City, about ten li away, the 312 National Highway’s Majieling Tunnel runs through the mountain. The fortress walls are built with bluestone, and most of the foundations remain intact. The stronghold is divided into upper, middle, and lower sections, arranged in an eye-shaped layout, covering an area of about a hundred acres. From the top, one can gaze eastward to the "Fairy Maiden Cliffs," one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Shangzhou, look down upon the more than 6,000-acre Xian’e Lake with its breathtaking mountain-water views, peer west to the "Evening Glow over Xiong’er Peak," another of Shangzhou’s scenic highlights, and view the new and old districts of the ancient city of Shangzhou to the south. Surrounded by lush cypresses and pines like a boundless sea, with white clouds lingering around the mountainsides, visitors can enjoy the feeling of "all other mountains appearing small" and experience a refreshing sense of openness.
