Shangqiu ancient city, also known as Guide City, was Shangqiu County, Henan Province in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was built in six years in Zhengde, Ming Dynasty, and has a history of nearly 500 years. The ancient city consists of brick city, city lake and city wall. It was built in the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty (15 1 1). The trinity of city wall, city profile and city lake makes the outer ring of the ancient city inside a huge ancient coin shape, and the building is very unique. There is a metaphor that Shangqiu is the birthplace of commodities, commerce and commercial culture in China. On the east side outside the south gate of the ancient city is the famous Yingtian Academy in Henan, which is also known as the four major academies in the Northern Song Dynasty with Bailudong Academy in Lushan, Jiangxi, Yuelu Academy in Changsha, Hunan and Songyang Academy in Dengfeng, Henan.

Vulcan Terrace, also known as Kuiba Terrace and Mars Terrace, is located in Mars Terrace Village 1.5km southwest of Shangqiu Ancient City. Every Spring Festival, the most lively place in Shangqiu is the Temple of Fire, which is called "Taiwan Society" in old Shangqiu. Vulcan is also called "Xu Botai" and "Mars Terrace". Its height is 1 1.30m and its circumference is 300m. It is made of rammed earth. More than 30 experts from China Academy of Social Sciences, National Cultural Heritage Administration and Nanjing Purple Mountain Observatory confirmed that this is the earliest stargazing site in China. There are complete ancient architectural complexes, including Daxiong Hall, Worship Hall, East-West Attached Hall and Bell and Drum Tower. Legend has it that the seventh day of the first lunar month is Kuiba's birthday. At that time, people at the junction of Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui flocked to Taiwan Province to form a grand ancient temple fair, which lasted for more than a month. Facing the Vulcan Terrace is a theater, which has existed since ancient times and has only been rebuilt in recent years. Watching drama before Vulcan is also an important local folk custom. Henan opera is not only enjoyed by the elderly, but also by young people and even dolls. The dolls may not understand it, but they also like the excitement. During the temple fair, the "Chinese Cultural Square" has performances every morning, mainly acrobatics, including high-powered cars kicking bowls, large-scale light performance, hard performance and so on. There are also performances in front of the Huaxilou every morning and afternoon, mainly magic performances. "Fire Culture Square" includes Wuqiao Acrobatic Troupe, Flying Troupe, Animal Training Troupe and Children's Recreation Facilities. During the temple fair, there are all kinds of Shangqiu specialty snacks, traditional famous foods, Shangqiu local products and other gourmet streets. There are also tourist souvenir street and photo street.
