Bagua City is radial and circular, and the street layout is like a magical maze, with roads connected with roads and streets connected. At the same time, Bagua City is rich in folk customs, rich in history and culture, and beautiful in natural scenery. As far as the name "Tex" is concerned, one view thinks that it means "wild goat", and the other view thinks that there are streams in the plain wilderness.
The architectural features of Bagua City;
This small town, which embodies the cultural connotation of the Book of Changes and the strange mystery of the Eight Diagrams, takes the central Eight Diagrams Cultural Square as the Tai Chi "Yin and Yang" and extends eight main streets at the same distance and angle as rays.
Each main street is 1200m long, and a circular road connecting eight main streets is set at intervals of about 360m. From the center to the periphery, there are four loops, including eight loops, sixteen loops, thirty-two loops and sixty-four loops.
These streets have formed sixty-four hexagrams according to eight diagrams, which fully embodies the mathematical theory of the Book of Changes of sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-six hexagrams. In order not to let people get lost, all the streets have set up directional boards.
