When you step into the temple, you can see that the Lord God is enshrined in the main hall, and the four statues on both sides are the ancestors of Qingshui. Incense here is continuous all the year round. On the sixth day of the first month, the "God's Birthday" of Lord Chenghuang on the 13th of May and the "Day of Praying for Peace" on the 22nd of November, a grand and non-legacy folk temple fair will be held here to welcome tourists from all directions to pray.
On the side of the Chenghuang Temple stands a merit square of Ma Xinyi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, which has experienced three dynasties of Daoguang, Xianfeng and Tongzhi, and is clearly engraved with his resume and contributions as governor. The word "imperial edict" at the top of the archway is a proof of the emperor's royal gift. At the same time, this merit archway was carved by the Qing court, which has extremely high historical value and appreciation value.

PART2. Once the wine is loaded in the Spring and Autumn Period
Go straight from the path between Chenghuang Temple and Gongdefang, and when you walk, you are attracted by the "Shi Gandang" stone tablet beside the road. Legend has it that this is specially placed in the corner by folk road warders to ward off evil spirits. Is it particularly interesting to be vivid?
Walking along the quiet alley, if you are not careful, you will easily miss this wine culture museum that reproduces ancient pubs. There are many wine jars, wine shops, flagons, wine bottles, wine glasses and other wine utensils with different shapes and strange shapes collected in Fujian and Taiwan.
Making a pot of wine and tasting a glass of wine is the wine shop of the past and the wine culture museum of today. You can not only get to know all kinds of instruments of traditional wine culture at close range, but also sit at the small table at the back and take photos as a souvenir, and feel the happy life of chivalrous men drinking and chatting at that time.

PART4. The root of the shelter party's stability
Close to the black cat tree house is the ancient city. Gongchen Gate is small and solid, and a big banyan tree is intertwined and born according to the city gate. When you stretch out a hand and gently touch a piece of masonry, its rough and hard texture seems to take you back to a history of military and civilian glory and the reunification of the motherland.
This heavy city gate once resisted foreign invasion, and now it still protects the residents here, giving them stability, faith and cultural roots.
