Zhangjiakou Fort in the Afterglow

#SeptemberGoodPlaces2025 Zhangjiakou Fort lies quietly etched in the depths of time, its walls mottled like the wrinkles of an old man, witnessing a century of vicissitudes. Stepping through the ancient city gates feels like stepping into a landscape painting in light ink. Bluestone streets wind, and gray-tiled houses lining the streets retain their ancient charm. The afternoon sun pours down on the eaves, and children chase each other in the alleys, their laughter mingling with the ancient city walls. Climbing the tower, the view shimmers in the river, and the distant mountains are azure. This ancient fort is more than just a historical relic; it offers a sense of peace and tranquility, allowing one to experience the weight and gentleness of time.
