Dayang Ancient Town
大阳古镇
A Ming and Qing handicraft town in Zezhou that was once famous across the country for needle making. Its old streets, official residences, and Tangdi Temple are well preserved.
Dayang Ancient Town is located in the northwest of Zezhou County. Historically, it was known for ironworking and needle making, and it earned the nickname 'Needle Capital of Nine Provinces.' Two long streets run east and west through the town for several kilometers. Along the lanes are Ming and Qing official residences, merchant shops, and Tangdi Temple, among other historic buildings. The town has a strong local atmosphere and little commercialization. It is about 25 km from downtown Jincheng, and a half-day visit is enough. Some courtyards are closed to the public. Admission details are subject to on-site information.
