砥洎城

The Dizui Castle stands on bedrock in northwest Runcheng Village, with water surrounding three sides and the Qin River flowing along its northern edge.

During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Pu invested several million silver taels to construct this fortress, completing it in 1638.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this small fortress produced five imperial scholars and seventeen provincial graduates who contributed to Chinese intellectual development.

The fortress covers 37,000 square meters and includes a visitor center offering tourism information and booking services for travelers exploring the national heritage site.

The castle walls incorporate iron cooking vessels mixed with stone blocks, creating an exceptional architectural pattern different from traditional brick fortifications.
