Jimingyi, Ancient post station in Huailai County, China

The Jiming Post House stands as a square complex with walls extending 1,892 meters in length and reaching 11 meters in height within Hebei Province.

Emperor Taizu established this postal station in 1219 during the Yuan Dynasty, which later expanded into the largest post house on the northern route under Ming Dynasty.

The facility contains the Temple of the Goddess of Mount Taishan and the Courtyard of He Family, displaying traditional Chinese architectural elements through gates and towers.

Visitors can reach the site by taking a train to Xiahuayuan station from Beijing, followed by a short taxi ride to the entrance for CNY 40 admission.

The walls surrounding the post house underwent renovation by Emperor Qianlong in 1738, maintaining their structural integrity through centuries of climate exposure.
