Zhonghe Ancient Town, once the administrative center of Danzhou, is historically significant as the residence of the great宋代 literary figure Su Dongpo, who lived here for three years during his exile. Due to Su Dongpo’s influence on the local culture, the people of Zhonghe have been fond of composing poetry and couplets for centuries, earning the town the reputation of ‘The Hometown of Poetry and Couplets’.
The main attraction in Zhonghe Town is visiting ancient sites. In addition to the well-known Dongpo Academy, there are also historical sites such as the Guanglang Hermitage, Dongpo Well, and Kuixing Pagoda.
