Seven attractions you must not miss when traveling to Shangqiu

1⃣Shangqiu Guanyi Folk Museum
✅️The first private folk museum in Shangqiu, which spent all the owner's savings to collect more than 2,000 old folk objects and took 3 years to build. The courtyard far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, especially the style of the small courtyard, makes people return to the Baicao Garden learned in elementary school textbooks in an instant. Every place is interesting. Even the wall tiles and floors are quite tasteful! Things are not arranged in order, but they look so chic.
📍Address: No. 1, South Section of Shenhuo Avenue, Suiyang District
2⃣Shangqiu 868 Creative Park
✅️The whole park is full of fantasy. There are unique art installations at every corner, and the wonderful colors are superimposed layer by layer, which is dazzling.
📍Address: 200 meters north of the intersection of Pingyuan Road and Jinxiu Road, Liangyuan District, Shangqiu City
3⃣Shangqiu·Zhang Xun Temple
✅️During the An-Shi Rebellion, he raised an army to guard Yongqiu and resist the rebels. In the second year of Zhide (757), An Qingxu sent his general Yin Ziqi to lead an army to invade Suiyang, a barrier city between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan defended Suiyang to the death with no food or reinforcements. They fought more than 400 times, causing heavy losses to the rebels. It effectively blocked the rebels' southward advance, blocked the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and ensured the security of the southeastern region of the Tang Dynasty. Eventually, due to the depletion of food and fodder and the death or injury of all soldiers, he was captured and killed. Later he was awarded the title of Grand Commander of Yangzhou and Duke of Deng. In the second year of the Dazhong reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (848), Zhang Xun's portrait was painted in the Lingyan Pavilion.

4⃣Shangqiu Ancient City
✅️The ancient city is round inside and square outside, just like a huge coin with a square hole, implying that the sky is round and the earth is square, and that heaven and earth exist side by side. Although the ancient city has experienced wars, it has been basically well preserved. Although the rebuilt ancient city lacks some of the worldly atmosphere, it is developing in a more formal direction. 🌺
