Hamaguan

　　It consists of scenic spots such as Hamazhuang, Hamaguan, and Zhuangqianshan. Hamaguan was built during the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty. The gateway arch is about 3 meters high and 1.8 meters wide, only wide enough to allow one rider and horse to pass through at a time. Those crossing had to dismount, hence the name Hamaguan (meaning “duck down and look” or “bow and pass”). Above the arch is the Zhenwu Pavilion, covering an area of approximately 80 square meters. The height from the top of the arch to the roof of the pavilion is over 10 meters, though the roof of the Zhenwu Pavilion no longer exists. The gate tower is relatively well preserved. The surrounding walls on both sides now only have remnants left.

　　Inside the pass, Hamazhuang has about fifty households, situated along the valley, mostly in stone-built residences. At the entrance of the village, there is a prominent and steep mountain, which the villagers call Teng Mountain. During the Ming Dynasty, in the first month of the Wanli reign year (1618),

　　Yongning Prefecture Magistrate Mao Zongchang funded the repair of Hamaguan and the "Zhenwu Pavilion," and renamed the "Zhenwu Pavilion" to the "Xuantian Baodian." He personally inscribed the new name in ink on a stone tablet, which was then embedded above the gateway. To this day, Hamaguan and the Xuantian Hall still stand between the two mountains, with the buildings largely intact. The inscriptions on the tablet are still clear and legible. However, the walls were destroyed in the summer of 1936 (the 25th year of the Republic of China) during the construction of the Guizhou-Yunnan Highway. Much of the right side of the wall was repurposed by villagers, but remnants can still be faintly seen.
