Pipa Fortress
As the name suggests, the fortress is in the shape of a pipa, a traditional Chinese string instrument. Shooting holes are carved into the walls. The Pipa Fortress was the hideout of the Rongyou clan. It allowed them to flee from social disorder and defend themselves against enemy invasions.
