Dongsiyi Village, Zezhou

The valuable cultural heritage of Dongsiyi Village is extremely precious. Well-preserved sites include the “Pine Shed Temple,” “Shenglin Nunnery,” “Chastity Memorial Archway,” and “Shi Family Courtyard.” There is also the over 200-year-old former site of Siyi Opera, the ancient stage “Wule Tower” from the late Ming Dynasty, the most representative “Dragon King Temple,” and the “Golden Rooster Platform” site, where legend says a phoenix once alighted. The adjustment of the industrial structure is the lifeblood of Dongsiyi’s development. Ensuring the healthy growth and expansion of local enterprises has been a priority. Through several years of effort, more than 10 tourist attractions have been developed, among which agricultural tourism, Dongsiyi Park, Longwangshan Ecological Garden Area, patriotic education bases, and the water park are the most notable. It has now become an emerging tourist destination in Jincheng City with distinctive local characteristics. The village has successively been awarded honors such as Shanxi Province Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Site, Civilized Scenic Area, Advanced Collective in Tourism Work, Advanced Village in Tourism Development, and Advanced Collective in Tourism Safety.
