In the deep mountains of Beijing, there is an abandoned ancient village with many rumors!

The ancient roads of Jingshi, like a large net, crisscross the entire territory of Mentougou, with many and long roads. These ancient roads mainly include commercial roads, military roads, and incense roads, which are interconnected. Among them, the historical relics of the commercial roads are the most, and after hundreds of years of history, they show a dilapidated and decadent appearance, but the charm of the ancient rhyme is still there. The ancient beacon smoke, ethnic exchanges, religious activities, city-building and border defense, as well as countless magical stories of ancient roads, west wind, thin horses, etc., are scattered or left on both sides of the ancient road. Today, let's talk about the things about the Cross Road Village in Beijing. The Cross Road Village is an abandoned ancient village in the deep mountains of Beijing. It was once an important pass on the ancient road of Jingshi. As for why it was abandoned, there are many rumors! According to relevant data, this village was located at the intersection of the ancient Jade River Road and the Tanwang Ancient Road. The Jade River Ancient Road goes from east to west, and the Tanwang Ancient Road goes from south to north, hence the name Cross Road. The city gate at the entrance of the village is called the Cross Road Pass, which is a well-known pass on the ancient road of Jingshi. The earliest record of this road can be traced back to the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been repaired in all dynasties ever since.
