The towers are majestic and majestic against the blue sky and white clouds. They have endured hundreds of years or even thousands of years of wind and rain, wars and various tests. Mr. Ren Naiqiang, a well-known historian and Tibetan scholar in my country, described the ancient Suopo fortresses as follows: "On the slope of a mountain bend, it is not easy for outsiders to come to the mountains. The chimney forest of the Pudong factory is a great spectacle." Walking into the ancient tower, looking up, under the blue sky and white clouds, the towering ancient tower stands tall and straight in the sky, looking down and looking around, the hidden houses in the green fields and the towering ancient towers contrast with each other.
