Huangsiqiao ancient city, which was built in the second year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 686), was the county seat of Weiyang County at that time. At that time, it was still a tucheng, which was transformed into a mixed city of earth and stone in the Ming Dynasty to suppress the Miao people. With the increase of Miao uprising, the Qing government built an all-stone defensive city in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, and the ancient city of Huangsiqiao was also a large garrison camp. Huangsiqiao ancient city is rectangular, with a total length of 686 meters, and it is the most intact stone city in China. The ancient city has only three gates in the east, west and north, but no south gate. Because there was a shortage of water in the local area when the city was built at that time, architecturally speaking, the south was a fire, and opening the south gate was easy to lead to fire into the city, so there was no repair of the south gate. Many film and television dramas were shot in Huangsiqiao ancient city, such as the well-known Border Town, The Fight Against Bandits in Wulong Mountain, The Fight Against Bandits in Xiangxi and so on.
