Introduction to Qu Yuan’s hometown attractions

Introduction to the scenic spots in Qu Yuan's hometown:

The scenic spot is a Qu Yuan cultural tourism park with Qu Yuan Temple and Qu Yuan's Tomb as its main contents; it mainly features Xiajiang shadow puppets, witchcraft performances, and boatmen's chants The content of the intangible cultural display park is the first-class intangible cultural heritage protection and inheritance base in the country.

Qu Yuan:

Qu Yuan is a spiritual symbol in China. It is not only the beginning of romanticism, but also represents the sorrow and indignation of worrying about the country and the people. It also symbolizes the nobility of preferring death to surrender. Therefore, even if it is just for this spiritual symbol that has been circulated for more than 2,000 years, Qu Yuan’s hometown in Zigui County is not to be missed.

Today’s Zigui is no longer the same state as it has been for thousands of years. The completion of the Three Gorges Dam flooded 11 counties, including Zigui County, Qu Yuan’s hometown. Therefore, today’s Zigui is not the Zigui after 1998. The relocated and rebuilt ancient buildings in Qu Yuan’s hometown are probably the last memories of this thousand-year-old city.

Since Zigui County has been submerged in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, Quyuan Temple and many old buildings in Zigui were moved to Fenghuang Mountain. It is now a national key cultural relic protection unit and is known as the "Fenghuang Mountain Ancient Building Group".
