一、徒步上庄村 位于山西省祁县峪口乡的上庄村古有“小北京”之称。传说本村一
家刘姓的祖先上百年前在北京做官，后来发了大财，衣锦还乡后大搞土木建设，建筑格
式完全照北京流行的样式建造，因此得名。

重镇，古称“少城”、“小城”，因冶炼业兴旺曾被称为“铁冶台镇”，明嘉靖三十八年(1560
年)改为“润城”。

Kuo period it was the key town that Han and Zhao fighting for，so it
was called young town or small town. As smelting is prosperous
here，it once was called“Ancient town of smelting”，and the present
name comes from the 38th year of Jing emperor in Ming
dynasty.

三、张壁古堡张壁古堡是个小村庄，位于介休市城南十公里处的黄土丘陵上。依塬傍沟而建，三面临沟、一面靠山，地势偏僻险要。张壁村整个村子其实就是一个堡。面向空旷而背抵锦山，地形南高北低，是我国现存的的保存完好的一座融军事、居住、生产、宗教为一体的古代村堡。
Zhangbi ancient castle Zhangbi ancient castle is a small
village，which is located on the loess hill 10 kilometers far away
from Jiexiu city. It is built nearby tableland and ditches with

mountains，high at south side and low at north，which is also a
well-remained ancient village castle combining
military，living，producing and religion together.
