Chinanews, Beijing, Aug. 31 – According to Guangming Daily, Xiongxian County in Hebei Province was recently named as “cradle of ancient tunnels in China”.

Experts say that the ancient tunnels cover a total area of 1,300 sq m. They believed these carefully designed tunnels were built in the Liao (916-1125) and Song dynasties (960-1279). These tunnels had remained in oblivion for hundreds of years, until local people found them when building new houses.

The tunnels have many rooms for different usages¹, and there are also pitfalls² for intruders.
