Zhou has the following places of interest.
Weicheng and Lindong
The earliest local chronicle of Kunshan, Yu Fengzhi, said: In Kunshan, "those who are famous in the city are old twelve". According to Chen, an expert in literature and history, as early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu built two cities, Dongcheng and Xiducheng, in today's Yushan Town. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, according to historical records, through field investigation and archaeological excavation, there are 14 ancient cities in Kunshan: Dongcheng, West Lucheng, Bacheng, Luocheng, Nanwucheng, Weicheng, Lindong, Hongcheng, Xicencheng, Yan County, Wapucheng, Jincheng, Ducheng, Kunshan County and Niubang of Zhou Dongming Village.
Chenghuangtan
Chenghuangtan Village is a natural village in Xietang Village, Zhoushi Town, bordering Shuangfeng Town, Taicang City. It is said that after the reunification of the whole country, Emperor Taizong made great contributions and sent Weichi Gong, who had outstanding military exploits, to Kunshan to protect the peace of one side. After a patrol, General Wei Chi found that Zhou's area, where Wu Wang used to hunt deer, was low-lying and densely covered with water pools, so he could camp and station troops, build water conservancy projects and develop farmland. The officers and men have been building it for years, and many pools run through it. Thieves have strayed into it many times, and some have gone and never returned. There are more fish and shrimp wandering in the pool, and chickens and ducks strolling by the pool, which is a lively scene. According to legend, after Weichi Gong's death, the people appreciated his kindness and honored him as the local protector "Town God", so they called these ponds "Town God Ponds".
Yemadu (Yemadong)
"Yemadu", formerly known as "Wild Cat Cave", is an ancient village on the north bank of Loujiang River. It is named after overgrown weeds, inaccessible places and wild cats. Han Shizhong, a famous Song Dynasty star, once defeated Jin Wushu here, crossing the Loujiang River by hundreds of horses. The scene is spectacular. In order to commemorate Han Shizhong, the common people called the ferry "Yemadu" with the homonym of "Wild Cat Cave". In 1930s and 1940s, the town of Yemadu was once located here, which is now Zhujing Village.
Baitatou
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Song Yifu, the magistrate of Kunshan, established the "Tide Waiting Hall" here. After that, every August 18, Kunshan county magistrate will hold a banquet in the hall to welcome the arrival of the "tide god". During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, people donated money to build a "Jade Pearl Tower" with masonry structure. The tower is built in the middle of the river where two rivers meet. Because of its white color, it is usually called the White Pagoda. Because of this tower, the center of the river is also called "White Pagoda", and the north of the tower is the north bank of the Loujiang River. The place where people can stop (in today's Zhoushi Town) is called "White Pagoda Head".

"Zhou Guang's grave" and "Shi Shi's grave"
According to the Records of Kunshan County of Ming Jiajing, during the reign of Ming Jiajing (1522- 1566), Zhou Guang, assistant minister of punishments, and Zhou Yu, the head of Nanjing Criminal Department (who was once a Yunnan official) were buried at the eastern end of Zhou's town, which were called "Zhou Guang Tomb" and "Shili Tomb".
Zhou Guang (1474— 153 1), a native of Kunshan. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, he was a scholar and learned Putian and Jishui counties through the calendar, with the most outstanding achievements. In the seventh year of Jiajing, he was an assistant minister of punishments and died suddenly two years later. Guangping is as cold as ice, without a smile, but the waves are stormy, and the officials are strong and fearful. Ming history has its own biography. There are nine volumes of Rosa, which are widely published in the world. Gui Youguang, who is also an essayist, has infinite admiration for this elder, and has made a biography of his Xinghua Bookstore (the story of Xinghua Bookstore), which is famous throughout the ages.
Zhou Yu, a scholar in the 13th year of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty 1 14, was an official of the Ministry of Punishment, and once worked in Yunnan.
At present, Zhou's old health care center (Ren Guang branch) is the former "funeral grave", and a mile east of the old health care center is the "Zhou Guang grave". Before liberation, there were stone benches and horses beside the mausoleum, and ginkgo trees that only a few people could hold. It was destroyed after liberation and was named Zhou Shu because of the villa. ?
