China is the hometown of ancient authentic culture.

Xiongxian County was named "the hometown of ancient tunnel culture in China" by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles because of the discovery of ancient tunnels in Song and Liao Dynasties. Xiong'an new area is established by the state, including Xiongxian, Rongcheng, Anxin and their surrounding areas. Xiongxian county is famous for this.

Xiongxian County was called "Waqiao Pass" in ancient times, which was one of the "three passes" guarded by Yang Liulang, a famous Song Dynasty. In the sixth year of Xiande at the end of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (AD 959), Sejong personally crusaded against Liao, recovered Waqiaoguan and changed Xiongzhou, hence the name Xiongzhou. It can be seen that Xiongxian county has a long history, and the site of "Song and Liao ancient tunnels" found in China is a good proof.

The ancient tunnel started from Liulijing, the county seat, and passed through Datai and Qigang to Bazhou, Wen 'an and Yongqing counties to the east. It is 65 kilometers long from east to west and 65 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of 1300 square kilometers, which is larger than the whole of Hong Kong.
