## Informazioni su Shiniuzhai

The stronghold is named Shiniuzhai (Stone Ox Stockade) because a huge rock on its western side resembles a yellow ox. Shiniuzhai has steep terrain, with towering cliffs and strangely striking scenery. The attractions within the stockade are known for their danger and steepness, and can be summarized as “One Ox, Two Turtles, Three Passes, Four Bridges, Five Villages, Six Sky Lines, Seven Strange Rocks, Eight Temples, and a Hundred and Eight Cliff Views without end”. Particularly rare is the well-preserved ancient city wall, over 2,000 meters long. Shiniuzhai enjoys the reputation of “The First Stockade under Heaven”.
