Huojinzhen

Huojing Ancient Town is a civilized ancient town with a long history of nearly 1,500 years. Natural gas has been discovered and used since the Western Han Dynasty. It is also the hometown of the female champion Huang Chongyi. In the Western Han Dynasty, Qionglai fire wells were used to produce "boiled salt", which was more than 1,600 years earlier than that recorded in Britain in 1668. In the history of science and technology for our country occupies a proud position. There are still traditional handicraft workshops such as playing straw sandals, playing cotton, ironing, and flinging hemp ropes on the streets of the ancient town. There are the world's first well, Chongyi Mountain, Zhuangyuan Bridge, Hebei ancient street, ancient county ya site, women's school, sea House, Chen's former residence, Xingfu Temple and other historical and cultural sites (attractions). Especially the luxurious and mysterious "sea house" built in the 1930s at the east entrance of the street is a rare sight. Its high and grand gatehouse, beautifully carved flower windows in different shapes, majestic blue brick gables, anti-bandit gunshots on the back wall, and corridors with interlinked light and dark like a labyrinth are very magical.
