Attraction recommendations: Hongya County attractions: 1. Guangming Temple With white walls and black tiles, the temple has a unique style, and you can feel a peaceful and serene atmosphere as soon as you enter. Walking inside the temple and looking outside, there's an illusion of the temple being in the clouds, which is incredibly beautiful! Worth visiting! 2.

The town's slogan is 'Waiting in the azure mist and rain for you,' and I can really imagine how beautiful this town would be on a rainy day! Most importantly, besides being beautiful, it's also fun! There are many tea shops, very comfortable. There's also a place to play in the water for free! In the summer, a family can come here and have fun for a day, with the elderly chatting over tea and children playing in the water, everyone will be happy! City attractions: 1. Sansu Temple (Ticket price 40) This is the former residence and ancestral hall of the father and sons trio, Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe. There are many displays and relics related to the Sansu inside the garden, and with a guide, you can understand more clearly. The garden has a tranquil environment, and you can wear Hanfu to take beautiful photos. 2. Dongpo Impression Water Street Recommended to visit at night, it's really stunning, feels like you've arrived in the grand Tang dynasty, and there are performances on weekend nights! Along the river are two rows of ancient buildings, many of which are restaurants, and there are dining spots close to the water, near the center of the performance. The center of the water street is the river channel, where you can take a flower boat, 60 per adult, half price for children under 1.3 meters, round trip, and you can stop to watch the performance when passing the central stage. 3. Dongpo Urban Wetland Park Right next to Dongpo Impression Water Street, if you have enough time, you can visit the park, a super large park, sitting on the lawn basking in the sun is so comfortable! 🍝Food: Bingge Paopao Fish Delicious!
