Dongsiyi Village, Zezhou

　　The precious cultural heritage of Dongsiyi Village is highly valuable, with well-preserved sites such as the “Pine Shed Temple,” “Shenglin Nunnery,” “Ancient Chastity Archway,” and the “Shi Family Courtyard.” There is also the over 200-year-old site of the Siyi Opera, the ancient theater stage “Wule Tower” from the late Ming Dynasty, the most representative “Dragon King Temple,” and the ruins of the “Golden Rooster Platform,” where legend says a phoenix once landed. Industrial restructuring has been the lifeblood of Dongsiyi’s development. Efforts have focused on how to ensure healthy growth and further strengthen local enterprises. After several years of work, 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 features. 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.
