Moat, also known as Hao, defined as a river dug artificially around a city wall, used for defense in ancient times, is a river dug by hand in ancient times that surrounds an entire city, palace, temple and other major buildings, and has a defensive role in preventing invasion by enemies or animals.
Such a natural-based, artificial moat in China and the world is more, the most typical cities are Nanjing, Xi'an, Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Chongqing, Hengyang, Changde, Ganzhou, Shoes, Yao Tianzhen and so on.
Countries around the world in ancient times have been excavated moats, China's Beijing Forbidden City, Xi'an Ming City Wall, Nanjing Ming City Wall, Jingzhou ancient city walls, Jinan moat (Jinan Park), Xiangyang moat, Taiwan's Hsinchu Ancient City, Zuoying old city, Yizai gold city, Japan's ancient cities such as Matsumoto City, Edo (now Tokyo) of the Imperial Households, and even the castles of the European countries and palaces, and so on, where there are built a moat. Many European castles in the moat built on the wooden bridge can be raised to facilitate access, but also to prevent the enemy from entering.

The moat in the sky, with the width of the moat in Xiangyang as the most. According to historical records, as early as the Song Dynasty, its average width of more than 180 meters, the widest place to reach more than 250 meters, known as the first city of China. Forbidden City moat, the moat around the perimeter of the Forbidden City, built in the Ming Dynasty Yongle eighteen years (1420). River width of 52m, stone masonry barge, solid and steep, also known as the tube river. The river flows in from the northwest and out to the southeast to the Imperial River. In the Qing Dynasty, lotus roots were planted in the river, and the yearly harvest was used by the palace, and the rest was sold, and the silver was stored in Fengchen Yuan for backup. The moat has a history of 580 years. 1999, the moat governance project, the barge bank repair a new, the bottom of the river all paved with square bricks, the river is more solid. Moats Around Beijing Moat The four sides of the city wall of Beijing to the Andingmen, Deshengmen line is the most solid, its wall base and top than the other three sides of the city wall are thicker than the inside and outside of the wall of the package brick is also much thicker. This is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty when the reconstruction of Beijing, for the prevention of the North Yuan forces to counterattack, the front to meet the enemy and to adapt to the frequent war considerations. 1915 to repair the ring of the city railroad. The railroad tracks were almost paved against the city wall. Because of the safety of railroad transportation, the outer side of the Beijing city wall is better protected. The outer wall of the city wall west of Deshengmen is tall and strong, and is maintained in such a way that almost half of the bricks are not damaged, and not an inch of grass can grow. The horse paths on the inner side of the city wall were originally equipped with tall fences and guarded by specialized personnel. Beijing moat: outer city moat, inner city moat, Imperial City moat, the Imperial Palace (Forbidden City) moat and other four categories. Ancient city defense system has a city wall will have a moat. Beijing's moat is not a pool of stagnant water, it has a source (Yuquan, white floating springs, Miyun water), there is a flow (from the northwest to the southeast and the turn of the river, Jinshui River, Dam River, Tonghui River and the "Six Seas" to connect), is an important part of the capital's water system. Moat water is flowing, sometimes the flow rate is also very large. This is because, the moat built many gates, dams, to regulate the amount of water, control the flow rate. I grew up on the banks of the moat in Deshengmen. At that time, the moat is deep and wide, the north side of the turn of the river, also connected to a large reed pond (later repaired into the "Taiping Lake"). North moat from west to east through the west side of the archery tower of Deshengmen Songlin lock. Lock under the river 50 meters at three steps (each level is more than 1 meter high), the water from the upper level to the next level, forming a drop of 4 to 5 meters. The river water flows under the arrow tower and impacts the thick bridge piles, making a loud roar. The water under the Songlin Gate is as level as a mirror, but when it reaches the steps, the river rushes down like a wild horse, forming a water scene under the arrow tower of Deshengmen Gate. Xi'an Moat The Xi'an Moat has a history of more than 600 years. In the first month of the seventh year of Hongwu (1374) of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ordered Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, to "go to Shaanxi to repair the city", i.e., the city wall of Xi'an was widened on the basis of the original Sui and Tang Dynasty Imperial City to the east and the north at the same time, and with the outward movement of the wall and the enlargement of the scale of the city circumference, it was also extended to widen the moat. After the Ming Dynasty Xi'an moat, located on the outside of the wall 20 meters ~ 60 meters, trench depth of two zhang, 6.4 meters; wide eight feet, 2.56 meters, a week around the city, **** 4,500 feet long, compared to the perimeter of the wall of four thousand three hundred and two feet, one hundred and ninety-eight feet long. And in the moat along the inner edge of six feet high, 1.92 meters; two feet thick, 0.64 meters of a trench wall, outside the trench, inside the entrenchment, in order to enhance the defensive capabilities of the moat. In addition to the early Ming City, Xi'an City, the periphery of the moat outside, but also in the construction of the Qin Wang Fu City, the inner city (brick wall) periphery is also repairing a week around the city moat. Today's new city moat square in front of the east side of the East Trench Lane, that is, the King's Mansion outside the inner city of the former city trench along the old traces of the said. Qing Dynasty period of the early Ming Dynasty after the moat has been deepened and widened and dredged many times. Shunzhi thirteen years (1656) Shaanxi governor Chen Jixin repair Xi'an city wall, and dredge the moat. In the first year of Kangxi (1662), Governor Bai Rumei and Governor Jia Hanfu dredged the deep city river to three zhang, or 9.6 meters. In September of the second year of the Qianlong era (1737), Shaanxi Governor Cui Jixing, because of the siltation of the diversion channel, Xi'an has no water in the trench, so he dredged the Longshou Canal and the Tongji Canal, to divert water into the trench. Especially in the 46th year of the Qianlong emperor (1781), Shaanxi governor Bi Yuan comprehensive dredging moat, and then deepen four feet, the surface width of six zhang (19.2) meters, the bottom width of three zhang (9.6 meters), only this project cost more than 8,000 silver two. Thereafter, Tongzhi two years (1863) Xi'an General Mu Teng A, Guangxu twenty-two years (1896) the Qing dynasty army, Wang Suwa, twenty-four years (1898) Shaanxi governor Wei Kwang-tao, twenty-nine years (1903) Shaanxi governor Sheng Yun, etc. many times dredge the moat, and diversion of water into the trench. Nanjing Moat Moat (Outer Qinhuai River) The moat surrounding the Ming City Wall of Nanjing (the only section of the wall to the east of the Taiping Gate was not opened on the outside of the moat) is an important part of the Ming City Wall of Nanjing. The existing moat of the city wall is 31.159 kilometers long, the city wall and the moat spacing at the widest point for 334 meters, the narrowest point for 9 meters. The water source of the moat comes from Qinhuai River, Qingxi River, Jinchuan River and Xuanwu Lake, Qianhu Lake and Pipa Lake, etc. After dredging and excavation of the outer channels of the city wall, the water is guided to enter the river. Wide moat water, reflecting the tall and sturdy walls of Nanjing, so that the invading enemy daunted. Jingzhou moat Jingzhou, in history, especially in the Three Kingdoms period left a colorful. The entire history of the Three Kingdoms can be regarded as the history of Wei, Shu and Wu's struggle for supremacy around Jingzhou. The ancient city of Jingzhou still has a complete moat today. Xiangyang Moat Xiangyang is located in the center of China. According to historians' research, it is proved that from the north to the south of China, when Xiangyang was reached, the surface water was suddenly abundant. The northern peoples, who were only good at land warfare but not water warfare, often looked at the water and sighed when they approached the Xiangyang city, which was a major military town, in the course of their successive southern invasions. The smart Xiangyang people gradually recognized the city defense function of the water, the moat was then again and again in the war gap was widened, dug deep. According to historical records and evidence, the Xiangyang moat is one of the widest moats in China. One of the reasons why the Xiangyang moat is so wide is due to Xiangyang's long history. Xiangyang scholars Yan Aihua in the book "Xiangfan style - history" has written that the history of Xiangyang is the ancient hub of several important land and water transportation routes, due to its unique geographical location, to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, Xiangyang reputation is growing, the status of the day heavy, become a major town. Xiangyang Moat During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the vassal states in Xiangyang were successively destroyed by Chu, and in order to resist the southward invasion of South Korea, Chu placed Xiangyang, which was of strategic and transportation significance, as a "Beijin Garrison" for military defense. Xiangyang became the northern gate of Chu, connecting Chu with Zhou and Zheng, Jin, Wei and other vassal states. Yicheng (now Yicheng City), which is only tens of kilometers away from Xiangyang, was once the capital of Chu. After the Qin Dynasty unified the six states, it abolished the division and established counties, and Xiangyang was bounded by the Han River, with Nanyang County (north of the river) and Nan County (south of the river). In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), Cao Cao occupied Xiangyang and set up Xiangyang County by dividing the southern county, which was the beginning of Xiangyang's countyization. In the long years that followed, Xiangyang was always the seat of state, county, prefecture, province, road, and road, despite the fact that the feudal dynasty had been in a state of flux and the administrative divisions and names had been changed. Since Xiangyang has one of the longest histories and cultures in China, and has always been a regional political, economic and cultural center, it is not too much to say that the width of the moat is the widest in the world. Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Jin Dynasty, regarded Xiangyang as "the basic for the restoration of the Central Plains"; Gu Zuyu, a famous scholar of the Qing Dynasty, analyzed and compared the different positions of the three major towns of Xiangyang, Wuchang, and Jingzhou in the situation of Hunan and Guangdong in his book "The Chronicle of the Reading of History and Square Opinions," concluding that: "Xiangyang, in terms of the whole world, is the most important; in terms of Southeast China, Xiangyang is the most important; in terms of Southeast China, Xiangyang is the most important. Xiangyang; to the southeast, it is heavy in Wuchang; to the Hukuang language, it is heavy in Jingzhou ...... three counties compared, Xiangyang is not Wuchang, Jingzhou than also." Later generations of historians of Xiangyang's military strategic position has this summary: "Xiangyang for the Chu North County ...... generation for the town, so the Dianwu's eastward migration, Zhao Song's south, the loyalists, the struggle for the upper reaches, will be Xiangyang for the choke point; Jin's Ping Wu, the Yuan's invasion of the Song Dynasty, are the first to take Xiangyang, for the building of the situation. " (Qing Dynasty - Wang Wanfang "Xiangyang Prefecture Zhi") History, Xiangyang occurred in the historical records of large and small wars **** there are more than 200 times. From the perspective of each battle, the gain or loss of Xiangyang was directly related to the overall situation of the war in the Central Plains. Especially when there was a confrontation between the northern and southern regimes in China, Xiangyang's strategic position was particularly important. One of the longest and most brutal battles in Xiangyang's history was the Battle of Xiangyang at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. This war took place from 1267 AD to 1273 AD and lasted for six years. In the end, Fancheng was lost, Xiangyang lost its dependence, and coupled with the long siege, the city suffered from a lack of materials, and waiting for rescue was hopeless, the defending general Lu Wenhuan led his troops to surrender. After Xiangyang was lost, the fighting strength of the Southern Song army declined sharply. In 1274, the Yuan army marched southward and captured Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, in 1276, which led to the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty. Among other things, Xiangyang's high city and deep pool were the main reasons why the Xiangyang fortress resisted the Mongol army for six years. The reason why Xiangyang moat was very wide, there were also objective natural condition factors existed. Beijing, Xi'an, Luoyang, and Nanjing were more important than Xiangyang in history, but their moats were not as wide as the Xiangyang moat due to natural conditions. Water is a necessary condition for a wide pool and deep water. The width of the Xiangyang moat is inseparable from the abundance of water resources in Xiangyang. Inside the ancient Xiangyang city, there was Xiangshui in addition to Hanshui. This provided a strong guarantee for the water supply of the moat. In fact, the moat of Xiangyang was not so wide at the beginning of its formation, and it also went through the process of widening and deepening. At that time, not only was the water supply from Han and Xiang waters sufficient, but the water quality was also quite good. Whenever the war was in full swing, the soldiers and civilians in the city would take the water from the moat and drink it directly. Later, as the number of residents in the city increased year by year, the moat was widened to ensure sufficient drinking water in times of war. Not only that, Xiangyang moat also has a perfect drainage system. According to the Xiangyang County Records - annual revision of the statutes, recorded in an article: "Song Guo Gao old set up two locks, when the full rise closed the north gate, open the south gate, put muddy water into the Han (Han River); the water has receded, then closed the south gate, open the north gate, the guide to the trench of clear water, the method is extremely good." In the past, residents of the city used to get in touch with the outside of the city through the drawbridge over the moat. After the widening of the moat, how can the residents of the city get in touch with the outside world? In order to facilitate contact between the city and the outside world, at that time in the Wenchang Gate, Yangchun Gate, Xicheng Gate and the land connection, artificial construction of a traffic circle, as a support for the completion of two sections of the suspension bridge, to help the city contact. The traffic circle could be used as both a military garrison and a front line of defense for the city. Jinan Moat 4.71 kilometers long, with a total area of 26.3 hectares, the width of the river is 10-30 meters, the water surface area is 8.4 hectares, and the green space on both sides of the river is 10-59 meters, the green space area is 12.5 hectares. Jinan Moat Spring City Square Section Jinan Moat by Baotu, Wulongtan, Heihuquan three major springs convergence, the river water is clear, often people swim here, and ultimately converge into Daming Lake. After the demolition of the old city wall in Jinan, along the transformation of the park for the public to open the ring, beautiful scenery, is a famous tourist attraction. After the transformation of Jinan moat has been fully navigable, by boat can be reached from the Black Tiger Spring, Baotu Daming Lake. Jieyang moat City people's attitude towards the water environment, to a considerable extent, reflecting their cultural concepts or degree of civilization, such as opening a key to read the city. Jieyang, since ancient times, has been a warm, jade-like Lingnan water city. The flavor of water, which is as warm as jade, permeates every corner of the ancient city. Out of the Lotus Mountains in the peaks of the trickle, into the Rongjiang River, as if the city meridian general revitalization of the entire Jieyang City ...... Jieyang moat Tianfu North Road junction, the traffic flow as weaving. Behind a piece of green, is the moat of Yungcheng people praise. Along the greenway to the newly remodeled Guazi Pond area, slowly pacing, wooden paths, pavilions, flying eaves, Shangshan Academy, Lotus Stage, red-headed boat ...... this place, every detail is fully exposed the unique charm of the old city. Here inherited a period of history and memory; here, has been vaguely show the old city's new posture; and here, is also about to tree up a brand new big community. Water, is the city's eyes, between the water waves flow, the city in the full of water glittering light, this is since ancient times people pursue the pleasant life of the city of water and mountains. The moat flows from Beijiao to Nanjiao, crisscrossing the city. As the only remaining moat in Rongcheng, its historical and cultural significance goes without saying, and it carries too many memories of the rise and fall of the old Rongcheng. According to Rongcheng Town Records, Volume IX, Construction Records, "the former said 'two Kau is the Tongcheng River's meridian, the city river is the Tongcheng River's latitude", "urban waters around the city for the inner and outer city river. According to "Rongjiang style" the second issue of the "water township Yungcheng now and then talk about the water in the city of the city in the water" article, the moat is Yungcheng three horizontal and three vertical of the existing water system, three vertical in a vertical, connecting the Yungjiang River North and South River waterways, now known as the Dongfeng River, that is, the original East Outer City River. There is a poem that says: "Looking north to Qishan Yicuiwei, Rongjiang River with white clouds flying; turtle waist bridge inside the deep pool of water, bright pearl melon seed pool." At one time, Rongzhu River was surrounded by water, ships were like shuttles, business firms were established, and residential houses were lined up. However, because of the river congestion, serious pollution, accompanied by pollution, stench, noise, wet living environment, so that this place has become daunting. 2011 July, "three old renovation" one of the projects of the Guazi Pond, the moat renovation project was finally completed. Half a year's time, realize the "butterfly transformation" of the moat stands out, brightly presented in front of the public. Now, it restores the original appearance of clear water and green banks, the south bank of the North River waterfront has a new gateway landmark, the old city marking the modernization of livable neighborhoods are rising. Rongcheng people surging water city memories and new ripples, and now in addition to the public life is closely related to the tourists to provide a new platform to read the old Banyan City. Because of the water, the old streets of the old city have more soft cultural flavor, and the historical style can be reproduced and continued. A city with history and stories, the rapid development of the word "new" behind the refreshing there are always too many affectionate "old" rhyme pavement pressure. Protect the style, repair the old into new, a renovation project of the rapid implementation of the historic districts of Rongcheng transformation into a substantive stage of operation, in the preservation of urban history, highlighting the connotation of the city at the same time, but also in the city to improve the people's living environment and urban outlook. According to the plan, Rongcheng District will seize the ancient banyan city "five gates, three kau, twelve pools," the main features of the entire line through, built across the center of the city's "eco-green axis," focusing on creating a "nucleus, four axes, five districts ". Through the planning and systematic implementation of the old city renovation, so that the historical and cultural city revitalization. In the old city, the new scenery is like a slowly unfolding cultural scroll, in constantly bringing us surprises at the same time, but also show a kind of scenery, a brand; written into a culture, a style. Feng County Moat Feng County, Jiangsu Province is the hometown of Liu Bang. Fengxian moat has a long history, is one of the more complete square city river, digging the city of the Warring States period, 1996 comprehensive treatment. To date, the moat has completed the public **** 26 hectares of green space, the first level of masonry 4900 meters, the second level of masonry 2,597 meters, 36 ladder platforms, 8,479 meters of the top of the roof, paved down 4 kilometers of concrete roads and bilateral sidewalk panels, the formation of the moat of the beautiful environment of the cultural and ecological park, improve the ecological environment of the urban area, but also become a unique scenic spot in Fengxian. According to historical records, the moat of Feng County was formed at the end of the Qin Dynasty, more than 2,200 years ago. Feng County moat length of 4 kilometers, an average width of 20 meters, set drainage, flood control and defense functions as one, is now relatively well-preserved square ancient moat one of the domestic. According to the 1985 national first toponymic census data reflect: the national county moat and the Forbidden City in Beijing as square shape only allows two: one is Jiangsu Province, Feng County moat, a moat in Anhui Fengyang County. As Liu Bang is the first peasant emperor in Chinese history, was born in Fengxian, so Fengxian moat length and width than the second peasant emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown in Anhui Feng Yang City River length and width of more than one zhang. Fengxian ancient moat is a symbol of the history and culture of Fengxian, has a specific historical significance. Historically, Fengxian County has carried out many renovations and treatments of the ancient city river, especially the Fengxian City River since the comprehensive improvement in 1999, the environment is elegant, the water quality is clear, and it has become a good place for the public to relax and have fun. However, the moat pollution problems are becoming increasingly serious, the lack of water recharge, to the majority of residents along the river life caused great distress, therefore, the county party committee county *** to increase the comprehensive rectification efforts, first of all, the implementation of the city river interception and tail water reuse project, to reproduce the natural ecological landscape. In 1999, the county party committee, the county *** through the city of Fengxian river dredging, berm, both sides of the tree planting and greening and other comprehensive management, so that the river greatly improved the appearance of the formation of a beautiful environment of the moat cultural and ecological park, improve the ecological environment of the city, but also formed a unique landscape of Fengxian. However, due to the limitations of the original urban drainage system, still leaving the hidden danger of water pollution. Especially in the rainy season, the city's sewage and rainwater can not be realized diversion, the city's sewage and rainwater collection, through more than 140 outfalls directly into the moat, resulting in serious pollution of the moat water. Today's moat water, is no longer clear water, especially in summer, turbid green water surface with foam, emitting an odor, the banks of the willow is a good place to cool, but call people do not want to be close to the front. According to statistics, more than 140 sewage outfalls along the city river daily into the city river of sewage from residents of about 4,000 cubic meters, coupled with part of the industrial wastewater, resulting in a limited capacity of the water environment of the urban water system continues to be polluted. The serious pollution of the city river water has become a prominent environmental and social problems, affecting the normal life and health of urban residents, restricting the sustainable development of the economy and society of Fengxian. In order to beautify the urban environment, must completely solve the problem of pollution in the city river, the county party committee, the county *** great determination on the ancient city river for comprehensive management. First start the city river interceptor project, so that urban sewage is no longer directly into the moat. And at the same time the construction of tail water back to the project, the sewage treatment plant after treatment of standard water into the moat, so that the city river water supply source is optimized. Fengxian moat interception project *** divided into three parts, one is laying interception pipeline 4200 meters, the second is to set two buried unmanned pumping station, will be originally discharged into the city river sewage lifting to the sewage treatment plant for treatment, the third is to lay tail water back to 1760 meters of pipeline, the sewage treatment plant tail water as a complementary source of water to the city river, so as to make the city river water flow up to enhance the self-purification capacity of the water body. The project is designed by Xuzhou Municipal Design Institute, supervised by Jiangsu Anpeng Construction Project Management Co., Ltd. and constructed by Tengzhou Jian'an Group, Tengzhou Huadong Construction Group, Jiangsu Diwu Construction Group and Jiangsu Huayu Water Conservancy Engineering Office respectively through public bidding. According to the Feng County Construction Bureau, deputy director of Liu Xing, the City River Interceptor Project *** divided into five sections, the use of polyethylene plastic steel winding pipe, laying underground drainage pipes, and in the Phoenix Crop Bridge, the western outer edge of the west side and the north side of the Wumen Bridge, the inner edge of the north side of the construction of a sewage lifting pumping station, the entire project cost nearly 9 million yuan, the construction period of two months. The moat river interception project is the county to determine the implementation of one of the key projects of urban construction, but also a people's livelihood projects. Fengxian Construction Bureau as the responsible unit of the city river interception project, attaches great importance to, and deploy the whole bureau of the best and brightest, to ensure that the project is completed on time, high quality. Up to now, the civil engineering of the interception project has been completed 90%, the city river interceptor pipe network completed 4050 meters, the tail water back to the pipe network completed 1660 meters, two pumping stations are excavating and casting the foundation of the base plate. It is expected that the interception project of the city river will be completed in the first half of June, at that time, the residents' domestic sewage will enter the sewage treatment plant through the five gate bridge pumping station and the phoenix crop bridge pumping station, and then the purified tail water will be introduced into the moat, so as to make the water body of the city river flow and be constantly renewed, so as to improve the water quality of the city river and the surrounding environment. The implementation of Fengxian moat interception project is a major initiative of Fengxian county party committee and county *** reflecting the specific historical valence of Fengxian. Coupled with the river on both sides of the greening, brightening and other follow-up projects for further implementation, Feng County moat like a beautiful green ribbon, string with deep Han cultural origins of the Wumen Bridge, Phoenix crop, Magong Academy, ? Yushe, etc. by the county party committee, county *** listed as historical and cultural monuments focus on the protection of the pearl of history, become a set of water purification of the city river, the environment of greening, Han high hometown of brightening and historical landscape as one of the flow of water of the comprehensive river landscape river. Fengxian moat intercepting sewage project will benefit future generations of the people's project and into the history books!

Hengyang Moat Hengyang, Hunan Province is the place where Xiangjiang River, Leishui River and Steaming Water meet, and the dense river network has formed three most typical zigzag natural moats, and a number of irregular curved natural moats formed by the rivers surrounding them, of which the width of Xiangjiang River is more than 400 meters, and the width of Leishui River and Steaming Water is more than 200 meters. Through the people of Hengyang in a few characters on the riverbanks of large-scale construction of flood control and scenery, has basically formed a combination of peace and war of strong fortifications. Hengyang since ancient times is the military stronghold, the Qing dynasty WuSanGui in Hengyang built capital called the emperor. 1944 the defense of Hengyang is the National Revolutionary Army Army 10th army in Hunan Hengyang to isolate and helpless sick and tired division against nearly 6 times their own Japanese army, blood fight for 47 days, the impact of this battle, shook the Japanese dynasty, directly prompted the Tojo cabinet for the downfall of the stage. Throughout China's anti-Japanese history, the battle lasted for a long time, the battle of the tragic, far-reaching impact. Due to the Hengyang area dense river network, has a large number of natural formation and artificial transformation of the moat, greatly weakened the Japanese mechanized forces combat capability, so that the Japanese army had to use the valuable air force on Hengyang city bombardment. The Japanese army's attack was also extremely difficult, huge losses, a large number of Japanese soldiers crossing the Xiangjiang River by the Kuomintang set up in the river bank machine gun fire and dead and buried at the bottom of the river, and finally paid a great price to take down the city of Hengyang. Hengyang Natural Moat Hengyang Natural Moat An irregular curved natural moat formed by the river The current Hengyang Police District is one of the 42 police districts in China, which makes Hengyang's military status very important. Shoe moat Hengdong County Shoe Town has a natural formation of a few words of the moat, and then through the people of the Shoe surrounded by a "few" type of riverbanks built the Shoe Scenic Zone, a natural-based, man-made as a supplement, both practical and beautiful moat was built.
