Located in the central region of the Loess Plateau and west bank of the Yellow River, an ancient stone city in Wubao county of Yulin city, Shaanxi province, was called "Fortress Wubao" for its steep terrain and surrounding mountains and water.

The city covers an area of about 100,000 square meters, with the perimeter of 1,225 meters and height of 6 to 10 meters. In 2006, it became a national key cultural relic protection site. At present, the protection and development of Wubao stone city is underway to give the ancient city a new look.
