Fengliang Ancient Town
Fengliang Town is situated in the northern part of Fengshun County and was once the old county seat of the region. It features picturesque attractions such as "Spring Floods in Fengxi," "Sunset over Ancient Banyans," "Autumn Moon over Longshan Mountain," "Peach Blossoms by the Brook of the Ancient Temple," "Clouds Enveloping Handong," "Snow-Covered Yinping after the Rain," the Leaning Wen Tower (also known as the Leaning Pagoda), and Pujie Bridge. The area also includes five notable provincial and county-level cultural and historical sites: Shaoshi Mansion, Baofu Temple, the ruins of Baofu Hall, the grand stone flagpoles in front of Shuangxi Bairen Hall (also called stone masts), and Rulin Mansion in Nanxiang, making it a key destination for local tourism.
Fengliang has a long and rich cultural heritage. Neolithic sites have been discovered on Tuoyi Garden Ridge in Tangbei Yuan and on Yudi Ridge in Huanghua Village, Jiulong. On Bizilong Mountain in Jiulong’ao, the tomb of Hong Jiulang—referred to as the geomantically auspicious "Man Playing the Zither"—has been found. Research suggests this site was the ancestral home of Hong Xiuquan before he relocated to Shikeng in Meizhou County.
Blessed with beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people, a prime location, and convenient transportation, Fengliang Ancient Town also enjoys abundant natural hot spring resources. In 2003, the town invested nearly 20 million yuan to build the Jinri Hot Spring Resort, making it an ideal spot for travel, vacation, entertainment, leisure, and conferences.
