Historic Centre of Telč
Telč is located on a hilltop and its houses were originally made of wood. After a fire in the late 14th century, the city was rebuilt in stone and fortified with a wall and a network of artificial ponds. At the end of the 15th century, the city's Gothic castle was rebuilt in the High Gothic style.
Guangfu Ancient City
Yongnian Guangfu has a history of more than 2,000 years. Dou Jiande, the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, founded the Great Xia Kingdom here, rewarded agriculture and sericulture, and stationed troops there. Based on strategic considerations, he renovated the city to make it as large as a city. The original earthen city was six li and thirteen steps, which was increased to nine li and thirteen steps in the Yuan Dynasty, equivalent to 4.5 kilometers. In the 21st year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the prefect Chen Zu mobilized workers from nine counties and spent thirteen years to build the earthen city into a brick city. The city is 12 meters high and 8 meters wide. There are towers at the four gates, corner towers at the four corners, and 876 battlement walls. What is special is that there are urn cities outside the four gates to guard each other. The authentic defense is deeply locked and impregnable. The city is surrounded by water, and the natural scenery is very spectacular. The well-known Pinggan Eight Scenic Spots are a true portrayal of the scenery here: Thousands of Rice Fields, Ten Miles of Lotus Fragrance, Congshan Mountain, Fushui Flowing Fragrance, Maojia Peak, Sunset, Kuige Towering, Longtan Wind and Rain. In history, it has attracted countless dignitaries and literati to linger.
Huangdi City
Huangdi City is an irregular square rammed earth city, 450-500 meters wide from east to west, 510-540 meters long from north to south, with a remaining wall 5-10 meters high, about 10 meters thick at the bottom and about 3 meters thick at the top. A large number of pottery and stone tools have been discovered in the site, all of which are typical of the Yangshao culture and Longshan culture about 5,000 years ago, which are consistent with the era of Huangdi. The ancient remains of the emperors of Qin Shihuang and other dynasties, such as Huangdi Spring, Chiyou Three Villages, Chiyou Tomb, and Upper and Lower Seven Flags, are still well preserved, providing unique conditions for studying the three ancestors of humanities, Huangdi, Yandi, and Chiyou. The Chinese Three Ancestors Cultural Tourism Area, with Huangdi City, Huangdi Spring, Chiyou Village, and Chiyou Spring as the main attractions, is attracting more and more descendants of Yan and Huang to come here to trace their roots and worship their ancestors.
