I. Beidong Temple

It is located at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain in Sigouchuan Village, Dongzhi Township, Xifeng District, Qingyang City, and on the second terrace on the east bank where Puhe River meets Ruhe River. It was built by Xi Kangsheng, the secretariat of Jingzhou in the second year of Yongping in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was named because it was excavated at the same time with the South Cave Temple in Jingchuan County, Pingliang City, which corresponds to the north and south. It is one of the four largest grottoes in Gansu Province.

Second, Zhouzuling Forest Park

Located in Dongshan, Qingyang County, there is a famous mausoleum on the top of the mountain. Zhou's ancestors were named after the tomb. According to historical records, after Buku lost his agricultural official, the western disciples settled in Qingyang today, and established the farming culture of Chinese civilization in Qingyang area in Longdong. Because of his outstanding achievements, people buried him on this mountain after his death. Zhou Zuling has a long history, and Zhong Ling has been a scenic spot since ancient times.

Third, caves

Qingyang is located in the typical Longdong Loess Plateau, and this ancient settlement form can be seen everywhere in Qingyang. People build houses on cliffs by ditches and slopes, which is called "cliff village"; Dig a square pit two or three feet deep from the tableland, and then dig a cave on the four walls, like an underground quadrangle, called "pit village". Local residents have completely preserved the traditional living form of loess caves, which has become an important part of folk tourism in Qingyang today.

Fourth, the wonders of ice caves and canyons.

Located in Maosi Village, Xiansheng Township, Xifeng District, Qingyang City, Gansu Province. The canyon is very long, the rocks are abrupt, the rock walls are steep, the rock walls are dark red and red with yellow. After being washed by spring water, it looks like an iron pot for cooking, hence the name Black Old Pot. Under the fantastic underground cave, the whole landscape is natural, like an underground ice palace, a natural ice bank and a loess ice room, which is a rare landform wonder on the loess high slope in Qingyang Basin.
