There are many brick carvings and wood carvings here, all of which are exquisite.

3.2. Famous historical temples

White boat, painted sculptures in Song Dynasty and Difficult Old Spring are the three wonders of Jinci Temple. Touch that stout cypress tree, and you will definitely feel the mark of the vicissitudes of time.

Sophora japonica in Hong Tong is the only holy place in China with the theme of "seeking roots" and "offering sacrifices to ancestors". At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, the population of Central Plains dropped sharply. In order to balance the population, the court forced a large number of Shanxi people to emigrate. The starting point at that time was Hongdong. The folk song "Ask where my home is, Sophora japonica in Hongtong, Shanxi" has been handed down from generation to generation.

This is an undeveloped, commercial and pure natural landscape. The disadvantage is that the road is really bad.
