Two steps ahead, you can see the seal used to prevent official documents from being demolished privately in the Han and Tang Dynasties, as well as the portrait brick of post envoys vividly showing the situation of post post communication. The beacon communication booth in front of the post envoy portrait brick brings you a group of small multimedia shows. In ancient times, the beacon fire pier was a military facility to defend the coast. When there was an emergency, the beacon fire would alarm.
