The Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall is located at the foot of Cuiping Mountain in Anyang Town. The building was constructed in the 12th year of the Tongzhi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1873). Originally a ancestral hall of the Zhou family, it was converted into the county's Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall in 1983. The hall currently manages 13 cultural heritage protection units and houses over 100 various cultural relics across 3 exhibition rooms; the Historical Relics Exhibition Room displays copper, iron, and silverware, pottery, ancient coins (over 100 kilograms), tombstones, and ancient calligraphy and paintings from the Eastern Han to the Qing Dynasty, including items such as bronze drums, ancient coins from the Tang and Song dynasties, blue-and-white porcelain vases from the Ming Dynasty, as well as ancient calligraphy and paintings by Huang Xiaoxi and Li Youzhu. The Revolutionary Relics Room exhibits weapons, ammunition, bugles, slogans, and documents used by the county's Red Guards and guerrilla forces from the 15th to the 38th year of the Republic of China (1926–1949), among which the more precious items include the seal, flag, and bugle of the Banshipinxiayi Red Guards, personally organized and led by Wei Baqun, as well as the seal of the Zhenxi Township Laonong Association. The Ethnic Relics Room displays production tools, daily utensils, and cultural items used by the Yao, Zhuang, and other ethnic groups in the county, including Yao people’s back baskets and traditional costumes, as well as Zhuang brocade, spinning wheels, and looms.
