Originally built in 1614, Xiangyu Ancient Castle in Jincheng, Shanxi Province, served as both a military fortress and a residential area, protecting local residents from invasion and banditry during the turbulent times of the late Ming (1368-1644) and early Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Today, the castle complex is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its ancient residential buildings, sturdy stone walls, watchtowers and elaborate carvings.
