The Ancient Cultural Site of Niuwang Temple is located 13 kilometers northeast of the county town and 350 meters northwest of Houzhanglou Village. Originally a raised platform, it was later leveled. A Niuwang (Ox King) Temple once stood here but was demolished during the Cultural Revolution. The site measures 60 meters from north to south and 45 meters from east to west, covering an area of 2,700 square meters, with a cultural deposit layer 2.4 meters thick situated 3 meters below the surface. Due to multiple instances of deep plowing, a large number of pottery shards have been exposed, including those from the Shang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. Additionally, two intact artifacts have been found: a Warring States period earthenware beacon tower and a gray pottery jar from the Han Dynasty.
