Scenic spot introduction:
Chairman Mao’s Inspection Memorial Hall in Xiangcheng was built to commemorate Comrade Mao Zedong’s inspection of Xiangcheng County in 1958. It is also a memorial place to praise and commemorate Chairman Mao. When Chairman Mao Zedong inspected Xiangcheng on August 7, 1958, he stopped in three places: Haozhuang Village, Shuangmiao Township, Houliangzhuang, Sanligou Township (now Houliangzhuang, Cigou Township), and Xiaozhangzhuang, Shilipu Township. When he saw the large tracts of tobacco leaves growing happily, he said happily: "You have become a kingdom of tobacco leaves!" After that, the reputation of "Tobacco Leaf Kingdom" spread all over the country. For more than half a century, Xiangcheng County has been shone with the aura of "Golden Xiangcheng" and has become famous ever since.Attractions distribution:
