Xiangxi: Originated in Shennongjia, it is the largest water system in Xingshan County, Zhaojun's hometown, with a total length of 193.5 kilometers, and enters the river at Xiling Gorge. The name of Xiangxi began in Tang Luyu's Tea Classic: "There are 2 kinds of water in the world, and the Xiangxi River in Guizhou is 14 products." "Dressing House" contains: "Zhaojun lives near the water, and he is always in the stream, and the stream is full of fragrance." So Xiangxi is also known as Zhaojun Creek. Xiangxi is named after Zhaojun. Xiangxi is as beautiful as Zhaojun. The stream is blue and clear. The course of Xiangxi River is full of twists and turns, with deep pools and dangerous beaches alternating, and rapids connected with slow torrents. The colorful pebbles on the riverbed are dazzling. Some are shiny, some are round and delicate, and some naturally generate all kinds of wonderful patterns and lines, which are extremely beautiful. Xiangxi, a Xiangxi with unique natural beauty, has been praised by people all through the ages because it has nurtured the world-class poet Qu Yuan and the world-class beauty Wang Zhaojun.

Zhaojun House: Zhaojun House is located in Zhaojun Village, 5.5 kilometers west of the town. Through the vertical archway in front of the village, visitors can watch literati chanting Zhaojun's poems. Zhaojun House was built in the Western Han Dynasty according to historical records. Due to thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, only the ruins are left. The current Zhaojun residence was restored and built in 1994 by imitating the original map of Han Dynasty.

Zhaojun House is divided into a front hall and a back hall. The front yard is the living area of Zhaojun's family, and there are hand-made workshops such as squeezing house, cooking house, wine shop and granary. The backyard nave is the "Xuanzhao Hall", which is the place where Zhaojun selected beautiful women and sent messengers to read imperial edicts. In nave, Zhao Jun's parents stayed on the left, and Zhao Jun's brother and sister-in-law bedroom on the right. There is also a stage and a cultural relic exhibition room in Zhaojun Village in the courtyard. The whole building faces south, with a clear axis relationship, which conforms to the traditional stable, practical and steady cultural connotation of China.

Yuxu Cave: Located at the foot of Tanjia Mountain, Yuxu Cave is a limestone cave with a half-moon shape. The word "Yuxu Cave Sky" is engraved on the bluestone, and it goes down more than 5 steps to reach the main hall. The main hall is about 85 meters long, 4 meters wide and 5 meters high. The grand style is like an underground palace. There are long drops of clear spring in the cave, which is cool and pleasant, and stalactites are the main landscape. Various and lifelike stalactites are like birds and animals, exotic flowers and plants, which makes people linger and see things in a blur. One of them, a huge stalactite about 1 meters high, is very strange in shape like a dragon-pan stone pillar. There are many cliff stone carvings and inscriptions inside and outside the cave, including many treasures.
