Recently, while driving in Shanxi, I discovered an abandoned ancient castle atop the Loess Plateau in the deep mountains. Built atop a mountain, surrounded by steep cliffs, its walls, constructed of rammed earth, are high and thick, still showing signs of its former grandeur. Although the houses inside have long since collapsed , the foundations and outlines of the courtyards remain, and the layout is still clear from the air. The withered grass on the walls sways in the winter wind, making the place appear particularly desolate. The sound of the wind blowing through the ruins seems to whisper the passage of time: who would build such a fortified stronghold in such a remote place , and why did they ultimately abandon it to the elements? Today, let’s follow the lens of “Street Lamp” and explore this abandoned castle, looking at the marks left on the walls and guessing what it has endured. Hello everyone, I’m Street Lamp. Recently, while driving in Shanxi, I discovered an abandoned castle atop the Loess Plateau in Yuci. Who built this castle on the mountaintop? And why did they build it here? Now, let’s follow my lens and go up to investigate. (Note: This car can’t drive up; we can only…) We walked for a short while and saw this earthen wall. There was a stone gate , made of blue bricks, and the arch was made of stone. It looked like an earthen hill, surrounded by earthen hills. It was inscribed with “Yihe Fort” in the summer. This was erected in the summer of the Xianfeng era. Then there were a few characters : “Yuci District Registered Cultural Relics Site, Zhaidi Village,” dated 2011. Let’s go in and take a look. Wow, it’s so dark! I didn’t bring a lamp , so let’s use our phones . There’s a tunnel here. The steps are small, one-step steps, so the slope isn’t slippery. The tunnel is supported by wooden pillars on both sides and above. It’s a small, steep slope. Wow, look up! These are wooden pillars, quite thick , supporting the tunnel and preventing it from collapsing. There’s a courtyard in the middle. Look up! This courtyard has three functions: first, it allows light; second, it allows ventilation; and third, most importantly, it serves a defensive purpose. For example, if someone outside wants to attack… If you rush into this tunnel, you can throw down some bombs, stones, bricks, and wood to drive the bad guys out . Let’s walk a little further , and there ‘s still more … Ah, finally we’re out! This tunnel is over 100 meters long. This walkway is also angular, and the sides are also built with blue bricks. Wow, we’ve entered! Wow, it’s truly a hidden paradise! Look, it’s like a depression on a mountaintop. And around here , let’s count from that side: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, there are a total of 8 cave dwellings . Let’s see what’s inside this cave dwelling. It collapsed . Look at this cave dwelling . From here, we can get a glimpse of the whole thing. Look, this cave dwelling must have been inhabited back then . And this is a blue brick wall to prevent the cave dwelling from collapsing. And this is also connected; it used to be connected. Look, it’s all sand and soil. This is the Loess Plateau. The soil on the Loess Plateau is all sand and soil, without stones , only some small gravel and pebbles . Basically, the layout of these caves is the same ; their shapes are the same. Look at that cave, it ‘s black too, probably from cooking smoke. There’s an opening here , a pass here , and we follow this path up. This path is incredibly narrow , truly a place where one man can hold off ten thousand. See how narrow it is ? Stretching out, it’s about 1.7 to 1.5 meters wide. And here’s another platform. This is the courtyard we saw earlier. Hey , hey, see? If enemies attacked from the outside, they could just throw stones from here . This is something shaped like a crenellation of the Great Wall, a wall . This place, well , it’s right on the mountaintop. So this village was built against the mountain. Because it’s an earthen mountain , digging cave dwellings, building roads, and constructing earthen walls was very convenient. Relatively speaking, it’s less difficult on a rocky mountain. Here’s one of its doors , it’s quite small. See, there’s a groove here. You should be able to tell that this was where the door was installed. With the door installed, look over here, there’s a foundation, a foundation made of blue bricks. There should have been houses on top, but now they’ve collapsed. The withered grass growing on the broken walls and ruins makes this place seem even more desolate and bleak in the depths of winter, especially in early winter. There’s a lookout point here. Oh dear, how dangerous! Below is a bottomless abyss . This should be a scenic spot , but it’s also very dangerous. Below is this cliff; don’t let me fall! There’s an abandoned hat here. Could this have been left behind by workers during the Qing Dynasty when they were building this place? This is a safety helmet, maybe from the Qianlong era . This looks like it. Let’s put it down. Cultural relics must not be disturbed. There’s a tunnel here. Let ‘s go in and take a look. Oh, let me see. There’s a courtyard here . Look
, each tunnel has a courtyard in the middle . Wow, this tunnel is very deep; it seems like light is coming out. It’s connected. Where are we now ? Oh, there’s light here! There’s an exit here. We’ve turned back to where we were before, to the courtyard. See, we’ve turned back. So, if we don’t take that path, we can go up through this tunnel. Let’s go back up! Hahaha, let’s go back up! It’s connected. It’s quite interesting. Their layout is very interconnected , which seems convenient in case of war. They don’t have this kind of anti-slip structure, so it’s convenient for transporting goods and such. Yes, this is for preventing war and making it easy for them to escape and fight, allowing for flexible and mobile warfare. I thought we’d arrived at another place, but it turns out we’re back at the same place we were before. It’s all adobe now . Ugh , it ‘s tiring . This signal tower must be newly built. This shouldn’t be from the Xianfeng era, right? Look at that city wall, that castle’s earthen wall—it ‘s an upper layer, but we haven’t found the way up yet . On our way here, we passed through a village called Zhaidi Village. About 30 meters northwest of it, on this high slope, on this mountaintop, the Chang family of Chewang, Yuci, built a castle on this mountaintop to avoid war . So the Chang family must have been very wealthy at the time ; otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the manpower and resources to build such a large castle on the mountaintop. Building it on the mountaintop must have been for… To escape the ravages of war, this fortified village, covering an area of ​​over 26,000 square meters, was built during the Xianfeng era of the Qing Dynasty. It’s divided into an upper and lower section, surrounded by a magnificent wall with comprehensive defensive fortifications. The gate is small , giving the impression of being impregnable . There are also secret passages. Inside the lower section, the earthen kilns were the residences of the guards and other inhabitants. The upper section, the main village, features rammed earth walls built locally. Eight courtyards within the upper section are still clearly visible and well-preserved, although the houses above them have vanished. Most of the cave dwellings have also been destroyed , indicating its considerable size and well-equipped facilities. It must have housed a large population. There’s also a well within the village. Whether this well contains spring water or was used to collect rainwater for drinking, it remains a mystery. This fortified village holds many enigmas that await our investigation. So let’s go and see if we can find the road to Shangzhai. Then let’s go to Shangzhai and see if we can find anything new. There’s a cave dwelling here, and another one. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry! I found it! I found it! Look, there’s a road over there! Wow, the scenery is beautiful! The sun is out! Oh, we should bring the drone up here. Look , it’s beautiful! What we see below is the location of Xiazhai. We just came up from below, and now we’ve found the entrance to Shangzhai . This is a small path . Ah , this is the entrance to Shangzhai. Look, this entrance is also very small . There’s also a screen wall here , which is also very small. Wow , we’re up here! It ‘s so beautiful! The sun shines on it, making it look especially yellow. These are several courtyards. Now they are ruins, but through aerial photography , we can clearly see the remains of these courtyards. Only by standing here can you feel that this village is actually very large. Although the houses above no longer exist , its walls are still very well preserved. This village is about six meters high and 2.5 meters wide. Back then, it cost over 100,000 taels of silver to build this stronghold , a huge expense . They chose this location to escape bandits, as it’s high up and easy to defend, making it difficult to attack. You can see that many of the entrances and passageways are very narrow, making it a place where one man can hold off ten thousand. Taking this stronghold is extremely difficult. Moreover, you can feel that this stronghold is very dry , so it’s mainly for storing grain , which doesn’t spoil easily. There are also wells for storing water, so if they hold it, they can hold it for a long time. Taking this stronghold is really, really difficult. We just saw the main stronghold , which we can see has many courtyards and houses. The main stronghold is where the master lived. The lower stronghold we just saw has several cave dwellings. The lower stronghold is where the servants, gardeners, and other servants lived. So the upper stronghold is where the master lived, and the lower stronghold is where the servants lived. So, relatively speaking, the area where the master lived, with its high walls, was safer. The guards, on the other hand, lived guarding the entrance. If bandits attacked, they had to secure the lower areas before attacking the main village. This is how a once-complete, abandoned ancient village came to be. Of course, with the passage of time , these people migrated to the villages below or went elsewhere. So, because this place was unguarded , it became abandoned. And because it was made of earth , it suffered severe weathering from wind and sun. Therefore, as we can see above, the courtyards and houses inside the main village … The houses have all crumbled to ashes, leaving only the foundations , which we can see very clearly from the air. The cave dwellings in Xiazhai have also collapsed. Of course
, the road we came in through is still open, so now many people come here to explore and discover the secrets. Because there’s no entrance fee, it’s become a wild tourist attraction . Of course, this has also left the people of Zhaidi Village with a place of historical and cultural significance, a place for them to look back on the pioneering spirit of their ancestors . So , friends who like outdoor adventures can navigate to Zhaidi Village to explore and discover its secrets. That’s all for today. Thank you for subscribing to Streetlight Travel.

#山西旅游#寨底古寨
最近在山西自駕，我在深山的黃土高坡頂上，發現了一座荒廢的古堡。
它就建在山頂之上，四周是懸崖陡壁。圍牆是用黃土一層層夯實的，又高又厚，還能看出當年的氣勢。雖然裡面的房子早就塌下來了，但牆基和庭院的輪廓還在，從空中看，格局依然清楚。
冬日的枯草在牆頭隨風晃著，讓這裡顯得格外荒涼。風吹過廢墟的聲音，好像歲月在低聲訴說。
什麼人會在這麼偏的地方，蓋起這樣一座易守難攻的堡壘？又為什麼最後把它荒廢在這裡，任由風吹雨打？
今天，就跟著路燈的鏡頭，一起走進這座荒廢的古堡。看看牆上留下的痕跡，猜猜它到底經歷了什麼？

Recently, while driving through Shanxi, I discovered an abandoned ancient castle atop a loess plateau deep in the mountains.

It was built on a mountaintop, surrounded by steep cliffs. The walls, constructed of rammed earth layer by layer, are high and thick, still showing signs of its former grandeur. Although the houses inside have long since collapsed, the foundations and outlines of the courtyards remain, and the layout is still clear from the air.

Withered winter grass swayed in the wind atop the walls, making the place appear particularly desolate. The sound of the wind blowing through the ruins seemed like the whispers of time.

Who would build such a fortified stronghold in such a remote place? And why was it ultimately abandoned here, left to the elements?

Today, let’s follow the lens of a streetlamp and step into this abandoned castle. Look at the marks left on the walls, and guess what it has witnessed?
