My general sense was that China didn’t really have castles as understood in Europe or Japan. The closest would be something like Jiayuguan Fort, which as the name suggests is more of a fort. But this, this seems like a "legitimate" castle.

Not 100% sure since there isn’t a floor plan, but from that image it looks like a defensive version of a Siheyuan, making it the equivalent of a European fortified manor house.
That’s really cool, and I’m at least open to seeing more non-European manor houses on this sub.
