Daidushan Mountain. In 1277, the second year of Emperor Duanzong of the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Song Dynasty ascended Daidushan Mountain at Jiazi Gate. Fisherman Zheng Fuweng rose up to support the emperor and restore the country. Later generations built Jiaxiu Tower, Dining Pavilion and General Temple on Daidushan Mountain as a memorial. Inscriptions left by celebrities of the Song Dynasty, successful candidates in the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty and juren (those who passed the imperial examinations at the provincial level) have made Daidushan Mountain a natural scenic spot.
The Red Chamber was built in 1925. When the older generation of revolutionaries led the eastern expedition, they once planned revolutionary struggles there.
Jiaxiu Academy is the site of Jiazi Town No. 1 Middle School. In the tenth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, the provincial constitutional official (anonymous) came to Jiazi for inspection. He took out a part of his salary and ordered gentlemen and wealthy households to donate money to build the academy. It was a place to cultivate talents such as scholars, tribute students and juren at that time.
In addition, there are also eight ancient scenic spots such as ‘Chaolai Renzi Water’, ‘Parrot Pecking Carp’, ‘Wood and Stone Wonders’.
Jiazi is rich in seafood. High-quality seafood includes Spanish mackerel, eel, grouper, croaker, squid, prawns, lobsters and so on. The opening hours are subject to the opening status on the day.
