Introduction

Taocheng Scenic Area is located in Taoceng Town, Longchuan County, Guangdong Province. It is a tourist attraction with rich historical and cultural heritage. Taoceng was originally named Longchuan City. In 214 BC, after Qin Shihuang pacified the South Yue, he established a county seat here. Later, to commemorate the first county magistrate Zhao Tao, it was called Taoceng. The scenic area includes a study palace-Kong Miao, where there is a statue of Confucius in the Dacheng Hall, as well as many ancient cultural relics such as Minglun Hall and Zunjing Pavilion. The examination shed in the scenic area is one of the few existing Ming and Qing imperial examination sites in China. In addition, Taoceng also has ancient attractions such as the Yuewang Well, the site of the former residence of the South Yue King Zhao Tao, the Yuewang Temple, the ancient city wall, and the ancestral hall. In addition, tourists can also enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Su Di built by Su Che, the brother of Su Shi, and the Zhengxiang Pagoda, which was built in the Tang Dynasty.
