For thousands of years, Zhanghu Lake has been sleeping among the reeds. In the early 1960s, under the leadership of Huang Huang, the former secretary of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee, the people of Wangjiang County launched a lake reclamation and land reclamation movement, which made Zhanghu, the pearl of the lake, come to light and shine. In August 1971 and March 1977, Zhang Wenbi, former director of the Military Control Commission of the Ministry of Water and Power, and Comrade Wan Li, former chairman of the National People's Congress Party Committee, visited Zhanghu for inspections and determined the administrative system under the direct jurisdiction of Zhanghu County. In the town, there are famous attractions such as the 184-meter-high tower in Asia - the Huimin Cross-River Tower on the Geshang Line, the holy place for crossing the river during the Liberation War - "Muslim Bay" and the Shunzhi Temple where Emperor Shunzhi visited his hometown in 1663. At the same time, it is also the hometown where the famous poet Shen Tianhong, the famous current affairs critic Chun Hua, and the national gold medal calligrapher Wu Jiazhen interacted with domestic and foreign artists and celebrities and developed their rubbing skills.
