Hengshanqiao Town is a renowned town in the Changwu area, known for its landscape culture and sightseeing leisure, making it a distinctive tourist town. Situated within the town area, Hengshan, originally named Fangmao Mountain, was renamed due to the burial of Cao Heng, a general and imperial attendant of the Jin Dynasty. It is a large mountainous scenic park in the Changwu area that combines both mountains and waters.


The park integrates natural and cultural landscapes, with babbling brooks in the valleys, lush green pines and bamboos on the mountains, fragrant fruits and flowers on the slopes, and vast bamboo forests and orchards spread across acres of land. Hengshanqiao Town, named after the bridge, which in turn is named after the mountain, and the mountain named after a person, was already a significant town with thousands of households and merchants gathering from all directions during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.


The town also features attractions such as the Dragon Mother Well, White Dragon Temple, Dragon Well Pavilion, Inner and Outer Dragon Pools, a pot-shaped spring, Jade Spring, Wang Luo Tomb, and recently constructed sites like the Wanfu Temple and Chengxi Martyrs Cemetery. The site is open all year round, accessible 24/7.
