Zhou’s Ancestral Tombs Park,located on the Dongshan mountain of the Qingcheng county of Qingyang City, Gansu province,  is named after a well-known tomb on top of the mountain, the tomb of Zhou’s ancestor Buzhu. It’s not only a good place for climbing and sightseeing, but also for pondering over deceased sages. It is known as the No.2 Ancestral Shrine in China.

Zhou’s Ancestral Tombs Park boasts a long history and beautiful scenery, and has long been a tourists attraction. The lay-out of Zhou’s ancestral cultural area on top of the mountain is, in general, well-proportioned. When the spring and summer come, apricot flowers begin to blossom and leaves of the willow trees are green. The fragrance of flowers greets people in the woods. In the late autumn and the early winter, red leaves do not completely fall, but it begins to snow. The wind blows and the trees shake—the whole picture makes one feel that the sky is high and the land is vast. The great Zhouzu Hall, located in the left side of Zhou’s Ancestral Tomb, is magnificent and spectacular. The corridors, Qi Feng Ting and Jian Ting, at the north and south sides of Zhou Emperor Temple, provide a space for tourists to understand the ups and downs of the Zhou Dynasty and to apprehend the essence of the poetry inscriptions.

During festivals and holidays, visitors come here either for climbing the mountain to offer sacrifices or simply for sightseeing. Covered by the shadow of green cypresses and pines, the palace hall is filled with incense curling upwards, and melodious chimes lingering in the hall. Outside the hall, crowds of visitors walk through the pavilions and trees and flowers, enjoying the beautiful scenery with lots of fun.
