On the outskirts of Pingzhai Village, Huilong Town, Xingren City, Qianxinan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, there is an ancient city site built during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty. It is understood that the site is oval in plan, covers an area of about 18000 square meters, and there are more than 900 meters of stone walls left. The east and west gate caves, beacon towers and other sites still exist. Viewed from the sky, the site looks like a giant footprint in the mountains.
