Turks Gossip Town Travel Guide
A bagua that grew out of the sky
In 1937, the county town of Tex planned its layout according to the Bagua, with streets radiating out like the lines of the trigrams. It was once recorded in the Guinness World Records as the "largest Bagua layout city in the world." Only by viewing the entire city from a height can one understand why it is called the "Bagua City."

Destination Details
The county town is designed with the central city square as the Tai Chi, eight main streets radiating according to the Bagua directions, and alleys laid out according to the positions of the hexagram lines, creating a city with no dead ends. In the early years, there were no traffic lights in the city and no traffic jams, which has been a topic passed down among travel circles for many years.
