Dragon King Temple & Yanghe

The Dragon King temple in Zaohe, 20 km northwest, won national protection in 2001 — Qianlong stayed here on five of his six southern tours — then the Yanghe distillery, state-founded in 1949, whose baijiu took national-liquor honors at the 1979, 1984 and 1989 appraisals.
