Places along the landscape corridor
The district’s stretch of National Highway 235 links Jinlin Fingered Citron Culture Garden (锦林佛手文化园) and Jinhua Light (金华之光), alongside the Great Buddha Temple (大佛寺) on Jinhua Mountain (金华山) and Ai Qing’s Hometown. The route connects these destinations with a wider landscape-oriented road corridor.
Writers and living crafts
The poet Ai Qing (艾青), composer Shi Guangnan (施光南) and children’s writer Lu Bing (鲁兵) are honoured in the district’s cultural programme. Jindong’s heritage experience hall is housed in Jinhua Light Science and Technology Museum (金华之光科技馆). Local heritage projects also include traditional kiln craft, fingered-citron culture and Wuzhou Woodblock Printing Museum (婺州雕版印刷博物馆).
