Ruins of Jiuyan Mountain

　　    These are historical ruins from the Ming and Qing dynasties, situated at the summit of Jiuyan Mountain in Qiliping Town, Hong’an County, with an area of about 1 million square meters. They primarily consist of relics from the late Ming Dynasty when Zhang Jin yan, Minister of War, resisted the Qing forces. Currently, 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. The site holds significant value for the study of the Southern Ming resistance against the Qing and the region’s historical culture. (Fifth Batch)
