In addition to the national famous martyr Dong Cunrui cemetery, which is a red tourism theme scenic spot, there are also abundant green tourism resources such as Maojingba Forest Park, Qijia hot spring and Guojiatun hot spring, zhangsanying agricultural ecological science and technology sightseeing park. Due to the large number of ethnic minorities in the territory, the cultural accumulation is profound, and many local customs and food cultures of Manchu and Mongolian nationalities are still preserved. For example, the traditional Manchu sports performance "Ergui wrestling", the traditional Manchu and Mongolian folk flower fair "Bawangbian", "badaoguai", "Beige" are very characteristic. Local snacks mainly include baked cakes, donkey rolls, sticky bean bags and so on, especially the Royal "baijiazi baiqiaomian", which is known as "cheating frost and competing snow". On October 15, 1929, Dong Cunrui was born into a poor peasant family in nanshanbao village, Huailai County, former Chahar province (now Hebei Province). His childhood was spent in the life and death of the Chinese nation when Japanese imperialism launched the war of aggression against China. In the winter of 1940, the Eighth Route Army established an anti Japanese democratic regime in nanshanbao. Dong Cunrui was elected as the head of the children's regiment. He stood guard, posted sentries and sent chicken feather letters. Later, he became a militia and actively participated in the Anti Japanese and national salvation struggle. In August 1945, at the age of 16, Dong Cunrui joined the Eighth Route Army and grew up in the training of the party and the tempering of the war. He served successively as a soldier, deputy monitor and monitor. In 1947, he joined the Communist Party of China and became a pioneer soldier of the proletariat. He fought bravely in the north and the south, and made outstanding achievements. He won three major and four minor meritorious deeds, and won one Mao Zedong medal and three bravery medals. In 1948, at the critical moment of the battle in Longhua, Dong Cunrui gave his life at the age of 19. With his own actions, he realized the oath of "striving for the cause of Communist liberation for life". After Dong Cunrui died, the Party committee of the 11th column of the Northeast People's Liberation Army issued a memorial to Dong Cunrui and decided to recognize him as a combat hero and model Communist of the column, naming his class "Dong Cunrui class". On July 10 of this year, the Jire Chaxing office decided: in memory of Comrade Dong Cunrui, the heroic and indomitable people's hero in the battle of recovering Longhua, it decided to change Longhua middle school into Cunrui middle school. In September 1950, the National Congress of model workers of combat heroes decided to recognize Dong Cunrui as "national combat hero" and "model Communist".
