Ancient Granary City is located on the banks of the Cai River, 1.5 kilometers north of the county town. The city gate is topped with a tower and surrounded by a perimeter wall. It was originally used to store grain transported via the canal from the Yangtze and Huai River regions. During the Xiande era of the Later Zhou Dynasty, a canal was dug through the city, and a bridge was built inside. Later, the Hongfu Temple was constructed here, but it no longer exists today.
