鱼木寨

The Yumu fortress stands as a structural complex displaying traditional architectural elements with stone walls and wooden features in southwestern Hubei province.

Throughout centuries, this fortification served as a strategic point for defense and commerce between different ethnic communities in the Enshi Tujia and Miao region.

The fortress contains architectural elements that demonstrate the building techniques of Tujia people, incorporating local materials and traditional construction methods.

Visitors can reach the site via the G50 Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, with regular bus services operating from Lichuan city center to the fortress location.

The structure sits at an elevation that provides views of the surrounding landscape where ancient Metasequoia trees grow naturally in the valleys.
