The Bagua Field is located at the southern foot of Yuhuang Mountain, and it is a unique farmland in the shape of a Bagua diagram. According to legend, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty chose this auspicious land at the foot of Yuhuang Mountain to show solidarity with the people.

After hundreds of years, despite the changes in history, this ancient field has remained intact and is still cultivated today.
