The most famous scenic spot in Shangqiu is the ancient city of Shangqiu, which was built in the sixth year of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty.

Overlooking the city, the interior is cylindrical and looks like an ancient copper coin.

Brick city is more than four kilometers long, and the four walls are basically symmetrical and equal. The wall is 6.6m high and the base is10m wide.

The arched four doors of the ancient city are still intact and spectacular.

These four gates are called Binyang in the East, Geze in the West, Yang Gong in the South and Chen Gong in the North.

There are also two water gates, located on the east and west sides of the south gate.

There are also four small towns, and there are urn circles in the four gates.

There is a twisted door in each urn, that is, the north gate is west, the west gate is south, the south gate is east, and the east gate is south, so the ancient city has the saying that the old gate is eight open.

During the Republic of China, the urn was removed, but the remains were still visible.

A wide moat, rippling blue waves, surrounds the whole city.

There are reeds and lotus ponds in Hanoi.

In particular, the water in the south of the city is said to be the South Lake in Liang Xiaowang in the Western Han Dynasty, which is also the site of the old city.
