Champion Tower (also known as Wenbi Tower): Hequ County, like many counties near the Yellow River, has simple folk customs and simple architecture. Every day, Sheng Tao of the Yellow River accompanies people in the town to sleep soundly. The landmark building of the county seat is the Champion Tower located at Dadunliang in the east of the city. It was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Tower, originally a Buddhist sacred object, has undergone a fundamental change in its function since the Ming Dynasty, from the original burial of Buddhist bones (relics) to a building that adorns the scenery, transports and prospers cultural relics in a balanced way. This is the case with the Twin Towers in Taiyuan, and so is the No.1 Tower in Hequ. Champion Tower is 3 1 m high, which is shaped like a giant pen of Champion Lang. Towering into the sky. The long shadow of the Yellow River Champion Tower at sunrise, crossing the Yellow River, can directly reach Dakou Village in Inner Mongolia opposite the Yellow River. Coincidentally, there is a boulder at the entrance of the village, just like a big inkstone. So whenever the sun rises, the giant shadow of Shanxi champion Lang wants to learn the essence of Mongolian giant inkstone and start writing another wonderful chapter of the Yellow River. The champion tower is so lifelike, with both nature and spirit, and with the prosperity of Hequ writing, reviewing old records and taking exams, Hequ people have won the champion repeatedly. In addition, another generation of talented folk artists has been born in the Yellow River.

Men go outside and women go to pick up bitter vegetables. " In order to turn over, the county magistrate invited the Kanyu family. According to legend, this gentleman has traveled all over the winding streets and lanes, and he has never been able to get out of the point. At sunset, I stepped on the dam of this river. Suddenly I saw a black dragon on the opposite side, eyeing up and sucking the essence of Hequ. On the other hand, Dakou Village in Inner Mongolia is located at a long ditch mouth shaped like a black dragon. The landform is strange, like the maw of a black dragon. Animals sleep so soundly, how can Hequ City gather gold to make money? The county magistrate and the squire decided to build a tower in Chengtou to kill the demon. The 3 1 meter-high champion tower will soon soar into the sky. The reflection of the rafters, like a long rope tied to the black dragon, crossed the Yellow River and landed on the monster's head, restraining evil spirits. As luck would have it, the Zhuangyuan Building was built in Hequ City during the Qianlong period. The following year, it prospered and became the only land and water terminal for Shanxi merchants to travel from south to north.
