Liqiao Building, Zhaoqing Prefecture

This big boy is the first time to go to the Red Building In fact, even my parents who are 70+ are the first time to go up Liqiao Building is located in the west of the First People's Hospital of Chengzhong Road, Duanzhou District. This is the entrance of the old site of Zhaoqing Prefecture. It was built in 1118. The ancient Duanzhou was the fief of Song Huizong Zhao Ji. After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he personally bestowed this place as 'Zhaoqing Prefecture'. The local officials built a high platform in front of the prefecture to build this building, which was used to offer this imperial edict, so this building is also called 'Imperial Book Building'. It was renamed Liqiao Building when it was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. After the building was completed, a copper pot dripping, a Qian Ning copper bell, and a large rattan drum were set up to report the time. In the winter of 1925, the building was the station of the Independent Regiment directly under Ye Ting. By the 1950s, the building was dilapidated and was rebuilt into a reinforced concrete imitation wood structure, but the high platform base under the building still uses the remains of the Ming Dynasty.
