From Fengcheng, cross the bridge to the foot of Zhouzu Mausoleum Forest Park. Pass through dense forest belts and a winding, rugged road to reach the parking lot. The building complex above the parking lot is connected by 822 stone steps. At the top of the mountain, the Zhouzu Cultural Area has a rigorous, standardized, and well-arranged layout. First is the Zhao Zhou Sheng Zu Memorial Archway. The front features the four vigorous characters "Zhao Zhou Sheng Zu" inscribed by General Yang Chengwu. On the four pillars on both sides of the characters are two couplets. The main couplet reads, "Gazing at the Heavenly Gate, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Zhou Ancestor's famous peak, where immortals gather; thinking of Qingzhou, Qifu, Li, and Mi, a land of outstanding people, where the masses come to pay homage." The secondary couplet is, "Only at the peak do you realize it is a world beyond the mundane; leaning on the railing, one gazes across the past and present." The back of the archway features the four characters "Zhong Ling Yu Xiu". Passing through the archway, directly in front is the Zhouzu Main Hall, built on a platform. Inside the hall, facing the front, are the three sculpted statues of the Zhou ancestor Bu Zhu, his son Ju Tao, and his grandson Gong Liu. The statues are 2.8 meters high, lifelike and vivid. On both sides of the hall are ten portraits, including Qing Jie and Huang Pu, making the entire hall appear elegant and solemn. In the northwest corner of the Zhouzu Main Hall is the mausoleum pavilion of the Zhou ancestor Bu Zhu. Behind the pavilion is the Zhouzu Stele Pavilion, with the three characters "Zhouzu Mausoleum" on the front of the stone tablet. The Bagua Pavilion is located on the southeast side of the Zhouzu Main Hall. To the south of the Bagua Pavilion is the Temple of the 38 Kings. The temple is a five-bay, hip-and-gable roof hall with a front corridor, covering a building area of 174.41 square meters with 22 exposed pillars. Inside are 38 statues and portraits ranging from King Wen, Ji Chang, to King Nan, Ji Yan. The design is elegant, and the figures are lifelike. On the east side of the Bagua Pavilion is a Zanjian-style stele corridor. To the west is the Lanfeng Pavilion, a place for viewing the scenery.Qingcheng County · 2 km from downtown

Qingyang North Grottoes, located in Xifeng District, Qingyang, Gansu, is one of the four major grottoes in Gansu Province. It is an important area for cultural and financial exchanges of the early ancestors of Longdong and an important node on the Silk Road. The scenic area is not very large, and the style is simple and thick.

One of the most recommended attractions in Qingyang, a national 4A-level scenic spot, with the cultural heritage of Zhou Zu and Qi Bo, many attractions, and a relatively large investment! About two miles after leaving the mountain gate, there are the Chinese Medicine Culture Museum, Waterwheel Park, Altar Farming Culture Museum, etc. A little further away is the Nordic Style Park! There is Maweiyi at the foot of the mountain. Upload some photos of the area around Zhou Zuling Scenic Area. I didn't take photos of the scenic area and the museum!

Strictly speaking, this place cannot be called an archaeological site because it was completely restored by human hands. Although it looks beautiful at night, it is rather ordinary during the day. The lights at night always evoke many different fantasies.

Xiaokongtong Mountain is located in Dongzhi Township, Xifeng District, Qingyang City, Gansu Province. It is named after its relationship with Kongtong Mountain in Pingliang and is called "Sister Mountain". It is also called Wuliang Mountain and Phoenix Mountain because of the Wuliang Patriarch Temple, the god of the mountain, and the shape of the mountain that looks like a phoenix lying in its nest.

First of all, it is free. There is a Taoist temple on the mountain, a general platform on the back mountain, a lake, and a mutton health city. A lot of money has been invested, the scenery is OK, and it is good to eat and play with children. See the pictures below for yourself.

When you travel to Qingyang in winter, you must visit Longqi Valley, which is a miracle among the natural landscapes of Qingyang. You need to walk inside the scenic area, about 1.5 to 2 kilometers away, so this section of the road is still quite boring, but when you reach the end and see the ice waterfall, it's all worth it.

Stepping into the first exhibition hall, the first sight is truly awe-inspiring. Looking at those terracotta figures, there's a strange feeling, as if being watched by people from thousands of years ago. That murderous aura, that domineering presence—no wonder it was the immortal army of the Qin Empire that annihilated the six states! The mighty Qin, united in the face of national crisis, fought to the death until their blood was spilled.
