About Ancient Tunnels of Bozhou (Cao Cao's Troop Tunnel)

A network of underground passages beneath the old city of Bozhou, the home town of Cao Cao, begun in the late Eastern Han but surviving mostly from the Song dynasty; the tunnels radiate from the old crossroads of Dayushou and are built partly of earth and timber but mostly of brick. A section open to visitors is presented as 'Cao Cao's Underground Troop Tunnel', with low brick passages running several metres below the streets.
