Lord Zhao's Ancestral Temple

This large temple complex was built to honour Zhao Guoshu, a decorated Qing-era military leader. Inside, there are exhibitions about Qingyan's military history, including a stirring display about the Red Army's use of the town as a command post during the Long March (1934–35).
