The Tomb of Liu An, King of Huainan, also known as the Tomb of King Huainan of the Han Dynasty, is the tomb of Liu An, the famous King of Huainan in the Han Dynasty. Liu An, the king of Huainan, was the grandson of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. He was famous for his invention of tofu. Liu An later committed suicide and was buried at the foot of Bagong Mountain. Today's tomb of the King of Huainan is relatively simple and small, and you can walk around and watch it after entering. The cemetery has a round hole-style gate on which is written "The Tomb of the King of Huainan of the Han Dynasty". After entering the cemetery, you can see a stone tablet with the words "The Birthplace of Tofu" written on it. The stone tablet records that Liu An accidentally invented tofu because of seeking immortality and medicine. There is also a stele inscribed by Wu Kunxiu, a famous military attache and writer of the Qing Dynasty, in the park, "The Tomb of the King of Huainan of the Han Dynasty", which is very simple. Walking into the depths of the cemetery is the tomb of the King of Huainan. The tomb is surrounded by a one-meter-high bluestone retaining wall, inlaid with stone protection signs, rebuilt tombstones, etc., you can simply visit. In addition, the cemetery of the King of Huainan has lush trees and a good environment, and there are not many tourists here. It is also a good experience to walk around the park and feel the vicissitudes of history and tranquility.Shou County · 3.2km from downtown

Shou County Baoen Temple is located near the east gate of Shou County. It is a thousand-year-old temple built during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. The famous monk Xuanzang presided over the construction. There are two thousand-year-old ginkgo trees in the temple, which are estimated to have been planted when the temple was built.

I didn't expect there was such a scenic spot on the Huainan Expressway. I passed by temporarily and stayed in Jiaogang Lake Scenic Area for one night. The lake breeze and the sunshine were bright. During the National Day holiday, it was far better than the crowded and chaotic 5A scenic spots in Henan. It gave us a special experience during this holiday. Come on!

Within Shouxian County, Huainan, it is open to the public free of charge and unmanaged. Liu An, the King of Huainan, was obsessed with alchemy, and legend has it that tofu was invented during his alchemy practice. The idiom "even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" also originates from this place, describing the attainment of immortality through alchemy.

The very good Jiaogang Lake Film and Television City is only a few hundred meters away from Jiaogang Lake. You can visit the two attractions together, including the educated youth site, the Anti-Japanese War City, the old city during the Republic of China period, the railway station, and the children's playground.

Anfengtang is the earliest large-scale pond irrigation project in the history of Chinese water conservancy. It has a scientific site selection, reasonable project layout and abundant water resources. Its construction has provided valuable experience for large-scale pond irrigation projects in later generations. For thousands of years, Anfengtang has played an important role in irrigation, shipping, and military support.
