Beiwudu Town, located in Wuyang County, Luohe, is an ancient town in Zhongzhou with a history of more than 2000 years. It has inherited many historical and cultural heritages and has become a famous ancient town in Henan.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beiwudu Town, thanks to the Shahe River's year-round navigability, became a major hub for both land and water transportation. " Land travel is easier than boat travel, and boat travel is easier than music." "Shanxi and Shaanxi prefectures attracted merchants from the south, and where they arrived, rain fell . " During its heyday, Beiwudu Town boasted over 500 businesses , earning it the nickname " the endless supply of credit shops and the endless supply of Beiwudu . "
Beiwudu Town is currently famous for its spicy hot soup, on par with Xiaoyao Town's. Four major specialty restaurants specialize in this dish: Shan, Ding, Lü, and Wan. Lamb is the primary ingredient in this spicy stew, resulting in a tender, tender, and spicy broth that leaves a lasting impression.
