brief introduction

Guangwu garrison castle is located in the north of the inner Great Wall, so it is called "the key to the North Gate" (the same as the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing).

There are two old castles in Guangwu. The old one is located in Xixing of Gouzhu, which was built in the Western Han Dynasty and rebuilt in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty. The new one is located in Dongxing of Gouzhu, which was built in the early Ming Dynasty and called Guangwu city. It was originally used as a garrison residence and later became a folk residence. The two castles guard the East and West xingkou. The situation is very dangerous.

The predecessor of Guangwu castle was the "gouzhusai" built by King Wuling of Zhao in the Warring States period. Guangwu was changed into Yanmen County in Sui Dynasty. During the confrontation between Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty, Song Dynasty occupied Yanmen pass and Liao Dynasty occupied Guangwu city. Guangwu was a Dai County in the Qing Dynasty. During the period of the Republic of China, it was under the jurisdiction of Shanyin county.
