According to records, there are more than 180 kinds of fish in the Peng'an section of the Jialing River, including wild crucian carp, carp, silver carp, grass carp, green food, warped shells, green waves, and so on. The most famous is the Shiliang Tuojiang Tuojiang Group, a specialty in the Peng'an section of the Jialing River. It is reported that there is a little red mark on the lower jaw of this river group. The fish tastes tender and delicious. It was once a tribute to the imperial court in all dynasties.

At that time, hundreds of boats gathered in the Jialing River, and the boatman's horn sounded to stop the clouds.

Zhouzi Ancient Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. It is known as the ancient wharf town of Jialing River, with a history of more than 1400 years. Zhou Dunyi, the founder of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, gave a lecture here. Later generations built Lianxi Temple to commemorate this event. Lianxi Temple is located behind the neighborhood committee of Xiahe Town, an ancient town, with a stage and a main hall. Although the Ailian Pool built is small in size, the green lotus in the pool stands tall and graceful. The picture shows a bird's eye view of Ailianchi. It is said that the ancient town of Zhouzi used to be bustling, with numerous bugles and porters. Now the bustling scene is not there, and many elderly people can be seen everywhere.
