Scenic spots/tourist attractions
1, Yemadu (Yemadong)
"Yemadu", formerly known as "Wild Cat Cave", is an ancient village on the north bank of Loujiang River. It is named after overgrown weeds, inaccessible places and wild cats. Han Shizhong, a famous Song Dynasty star, once defeated Jin Wushu here, crossing the Loujiang River by hundreds of horses. The scene is spectacular. In order to commemorate Han Shizhong, the common people called the ferry "Yemadu" with the homonym of "Wild Cat Cave". In 1930s and 1940s, the town of Yemadu was once located here, which is now Zhujing Village.
2. Wan 'an Temple
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Song Yifu, the magistrate of Kunshan, established the "Tide Waiting Hall" here. After that, every August 18, Kunshan county magistrate will hold a banquet in the hall to welcome the arrival of the "tide god". During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, people donated money to build a "Jade Pearl Tower" with masonry structure. The tower is built in the middle of the river where two rivers meet. Because of its white color, it is usually called the White Pagoda. Because of this tower, the center of the river is also called "White Pagoda", and the north of the tower is the north bank of the Loujiang River. The place where people can stop (in today's Zhoushi Town) is called "White Pagoda Head".
