Baodu Zhai

Local name抱犊寨
LocationHebei, China

Baodu Zhai, or Baodu Village, is an ancient fortified hilltop settlement located in the outlying Luquan District about 16 km from central Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China. It is located on top of Baodu Mountain, which is said to resemble a reclining Buddha.

According to legend, the Han dynasty commander Han Xin ambushed 2000 soldiers at the site, and in the Wei dynasty, an uprising by Ge Rong forced local villagers to flee to the mountain carrying their calves, hence the name "Baodu".

The settlement is completely encircled by a fortified stone wall, much like Chengde Mountain Resort. The main entrance is Nantianmen.
