In ancient times, Zhonghe Ancient Town was the location of the prefectural seat of Danzhou. The great literary master Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty was exiled here for three years. Due to Su Dongpo’s influence on local culture, people here have loved composing poems and couplets for hundreds of years. Therefore, Zhonghe Town is renowned as the ‘hometown of poems and couplets’. The main attraction in the town is visiting historical sites. In addition to the well-known Dongpo Academy, there are also Guanglang Nunnery, Dongpo Well, Kuixing Tower, etc. The ancient city of Song Dynasty architecture still preserves two city gates in the west and north, showing the grand scale at that time. In addition, strolling along the main street of Zhonghe Town (it takes about 30 minutes to walk back and forth) can also feel the simple and unsophisticated atmosphere. The opening hours are all year round and open all day. The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on that day.
