Twelve-Dragon Pool

  [edit this]

Twelve-Dragon Pool is among stones and rocks on the north hill of Tong'an. A current of spring water falls from a hundred-metre high rocky cliff. Passing by many steps and holes on different height, the water fall creats 12 water ponds holding limpid water. Thus the sight is names “Twelve-Dragon Pool”.

Tingxi Reservoir

  [edit this]

Rebuilt in 1956 at the foot of Mountain Tingxi of Tong'an, Tingxi Reservoir has a water capacity of 48 million square metres. Depending on the mountain terrain, the vast water winds its way to the far. The lake is so clear and water and mountain seem to blend into each other. Boating on the green water and among the green mountains is really carefree and joyous.

By visiting the former residence of Su Song, one can be acquainted with historic sites and cultural relics relating to Su Song. Acting as an upright and hardworking prime minister for nearly 60 years for the Song Dynasty, Su Song had made many contributions and left behind a lot of scientific writings. Lu Shan Hall, the former residence of Su Song, lies in Yongfen Village in the northwest corner of Tong'an and covers an area of 1,700 square metres. Today, many Song families' offsprings in Taiwan, Hongkong, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand still find their roots here. The existent Lu Shan Hall was rebuilt in the first year of the Republic of China. The hall houses the sitting stature of Su Song, Song family tree book and the portraits of eight celebrities of the Song family. The new-built Su Song Science and Technology Exhibition Hall shows more achievement made by Su Song as a politician, diplomat, astronomer, pharmacologist, litterateur and historian. A model of the world's first astronomical clock tower invented by Su Song is also exhibited here.
