Photos of Xiangyang Ancient City

Xiangyang Ancient City is located in the Xiangcheng District of Xiangyang City. The Han River passes through Xiangyang City, dividing the city into the Xiangcheng district in the South, and the Fancheng District in the North. The south, north, and east sides of Xiangyang Ancient City are surrounded by water, which made this city easy to defend and difficult to attack in ancient times. It has been known as the “iron-clad city of Xiangyang”. This is also a city full of historical stories. There are thirty-one chapters in the famous Ming dynasty novel, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that mentions Xiangyang. In the popular Wuxia novels, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Condor Heroes," most of the plot takes place in Xiangyang.
