What travelers say:

Yuezhou is named after "the city pool to the higher up". Its ancient city was built in Ming Hongwu 20 years (1387 AD), and has a long history of more than 600 years. The ancient town site is located in the hilly area on the east bank of the Nanpan River, surrounded by low concave middle height, east and west nearly a kilometer long, north and south 650 meters wide. During the Qing Jiaqing period, the inner city was built again, 15 meters away from the outer city, and they were all clay walls. The outer wall was 12 . 4 meters wide and 9 meters high, and it was straight in the incline and outward. The walls of the city wall were made of soil, broken bricks and lime. The ancient city has four gates from east to south, and each street intersects at the crossroads of the city center. In the Ming Dynasty, there are Chenghuang Temple on Ximen Street and Wufu Temple and Notre Dame Temple on the east side. There are Guanyin Temple and Sanguan Temple on Beimen Street, Sun Temple on the south gate, and Caijin Temple on the east gate. During the Qing Qianlong period, Wenchang Pavilion was built in the center of the city. In addition to these buildings, most residents lived in civil-structure bungalows, and a few official and squire families built courtyard houses.
