超然台
Chaorantai is the foundation of the city wall, which was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was expanded by Su Shi, a famous writer, in the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1075). In 1948, Chaorantai was unfortunately destroyed during the Chinese Civil War. In January 2010, a new Chaorantai was completed at the original site.

青云寺
Qingyun Temple faces north and south, and has three main halls made of brick and wood, with blue bricks and black tiles. There are many ridge beasts on the roof, and there are also dragons on it. The gate of the temple is more than three meters high, and the two windows are very large, which is quite impressive. There are couplets carved on the pillars. During the Cultural Revolution, the temple was demolished as part of the "smash the four olds” campaign, leaving only a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in the south of the temple. On May 18, 1978, a batch of bronze statues were found at the site of the temple and relocated to the Zhucheng Museum. The temple was later rebuilt.
