Where to go for the May Day holiday? How about Jia County?

Jia County, under the jurisdiction of Pingdingshan City, Henan Province. Located in the central-western part of Henan Province and the northern part of Pingdingshan City, it covers a total area of 737 square kilometers. Jia County is the hometown of Zhang Liang. It can be mainly summarized as 'one county, two heritages, four places, four treasures, six towns, and six unique features.' 'One county' refers to the ancient county with a thousand years of history. 'Two heritages' are the two national-level intangible cultural heritage projects: Jia County's large bronze ware and Yaozhuang's gold-inlaid jade. 'Four places' include the birthplace of national youth culture, China's poetry creation base, China's Tang Jun porcelain base, and the 'Shan'erxi' tobacco base. 'Four treasures' consist of four national key cultural relics protection units: the resting place of the great literary figures of the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe - the Three Su Garden (Three Su Temple and Tombs), the best-preserved county-level Confucian temple - Jia County Confucian Temple, an important node of the thousand-mile tea route - Jia County Shan-Shaan Guild Hall, and the first red stone ancient fortress in the Central Plains - Linfen Fortress. 'Six towns' refer to China's longevity town, calligraphy town, poetry town, Jia County red bull town, cast iron pot town, and gourmet food town. 'Six unique features' are six kinds of unique delicacies: roasted chicken, beef, Hele noodles, tea soup, three stews, and tofu dishes. In 1955, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote a glorious directive for Jia County: 'The countryside is a vast world, where great achievements can be made.'
