Introducing Qingfeng

This area is the former site of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Revolutionary Base and a model base for patriotic revolutionary education. Historical relics include the Main Hall of Puzhao Temple, built in the Ming Dynasty, and Qingfeng Pavilion, named after the stele of the Filial Son Temple of Zhang Qingfeng from the Sui Dynasty. This also represents the origin of the county's filial piety culture. The Dunqiu Farm here is a great place for outings and enjoying the rural scenery, and its unique feature is that fruits can be picked all year round.
