The Cultural Landscape of Xiazhuang Town

There are eight scenic spots in Gaomi County, and there is another one in this town. One is Night Rain in Longtan, and the other is Lotus in Dongpu. Longtan Night Rain is located in Longwang Temple in Wanglongguanzhuang (currently being rebuilt). There is an octagonal glazed well named Longtan in the original temple. Legend has it that whenever people stay indoors at night, they smell the rustling rain outside, and when they come out of the room, they will see the stars all over the sky, so they are called "Longtan Night Rain". Gaomi County Annals published in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty said: "The county governs the north for fifteen miles, and the sound is like rain and steam, so it is said that Yue Long is here and the rain stands. The third of the eight sights of Laozhi is called' Longtan Night Rain'. Tan is in Guanzhuang Longwang Temple.

Dongpuhe Township is located between Guojiabozi, Songjiabozi, Luanjiabozi and Chenjiabozi in this town. There is a Dubo, formerly known as Xiaoluwan, full of lotus flowers. The scenery is beautiful and intoxicating, so it is called Dongpu Hexiang. The Gaomi Local Records published in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty said: "There is Dubo, formerly known as Xiaoluwan, which is 20 miles northeast of the county seat, and lotus root is produced in it, between the three berths, and it is silted up today.
