National Heritage Sites: Changping Granary (National Level 6), Nan'an Temple Pagoda (National Level 5), Shijia Temple (National Level 5).

1-6: Changping Granary, a 6th batch national key cultural relic protection site, Ming Dynasty, ancient architecture. The Changping Granary was a granary set up by the ancient government, facing south. It is said to have been built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The Changping Granary in Yu County was certified by the "Guinness World Records" as the "longest used granary to this day". There were originally 11 granaries, with a total of 55 rooms. There are now four granaries and a temple theater. The granary is a single-eave hard mountain tile roof with a brick and wood structure. The large wooden frame basically preserves the original structure of the Ming Dynasty. The temple was built between the two north sides, and the theater was connected to the front of the temple. 7-11: Nan'an Temple Pagoda, a 5th batch national key cultural relic protection site, Liao Dynasty, ancient architecture. The Nan'an Temple Pagoda is a Liao Dynasty octagonal thirteen-level dense eave brick pagoda, 32 meters high. The base was rebuilt in the 45th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1706), and beast heads and auspicious characters were carved on each side. The four main sides of the pagoda are built with door arches, with two dragons playing with beads carved on the top, blind windows carved on the four corners, and sutra banners carved on the corners. The bells hang under the corner beams of each layer of the pagoda. The iron-cast pagoda is composed of a bowl, a round light, a phase wheel, a moon, and a bead. The Liao Dynasty's Sheli Golden Pagoda and the painted wooden carvings of the Four Heavenly Kings in the underground palace were once stolen and later recovered. They are currently on display in the Yu State Museum. The Nan'an Temple Pagoda is a landmark building in Yu State City. 12-20: Shijia Temple, a 5th batch national key cultural relic protection site, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, ancient architecture. Shijia Temple is located on the west side of Nanguan, Yu County, facing south. According to the inscriptions unearthed in the temple, it was called "Shijia Zen Temple" in the Yuan Dynasty and was expanded during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The central axis of the temple from south to north is the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of Great Heroes, and the Hall of Reclining Buddha. The three halls are well preserved. The single-eave Xieshan-style Hall of Great Heroes in the Yuan Dynasty has seven caisson ceilings, with gold-painted bucket arches, centered on dragons, phoenixes, and various flowers, which are extremely exquisite.
