Shuangcheng Guanyin Temple is located in the northeast corner of Shuangcheng Town, covering an area of ??2,400 square meters. It is one of the most complete existing temples in Shuangcheng.

Guanyin Temple, formerly known as Guanyin Hall, was severely damaged during the ten years of the Cultural Revolution. After the Cultural Revolution, with the further implementation of the party's religious policy and the care of the Shuangcheng City Government, religious believers donated 120,000 yuan to tear down the main hall, which had been in disrepair for a long time, and renovate the east and west side halls. Guanyin Temple currently has 37 Buddhist disciples. Every temple fair held on the first, fifteenth, eighth, eighteenth and twenty-eighth of April in the lunar calendar, people come from all over to offer incense, pray and worship. Incense smoke is swirling, the sound of chanting is endless, and there is also an endless stream of people who usually browse and visit. .

Guanyin Temple consists of the Maitreya Hall, the Main Hall, the Ksitigarbha Hall and the East and West Side Halls. The main ridge of the Main Hall is inlaid with a large porcelain roof. On both sides of the sculpture of two dragons playing with beads, the golden glazed tiles shine brightly in the sunlight. Eye-catching. The three-story cornices protrude from all sides, resplendent and majestic. There are carved beams and paintings under the eaves, and the four corners are engraved with eight characters: "Purity, Integrity, and Compassion." In the hall, there is a peaceful Sakyamuni Buddha, sitting upside down next to Avalokitesvara, and standing Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. The temple is open and bright and clean. Thousand pounds of cast iron incense burner, smoke curling up. In front of the hall, two male lions guard the left and right with powerful postures. The east and west auxiliary halls have their own characteristics. The spacious corridors, exquisite Su-style paintings, and red painted pillars make the temple solemn and elegant. The otherworldly Guanyin Temple is a refreshing spiritual life center in Shuangcheng. It is also the crystallization of the architectural art and wisdom of the people of Shuangcheng. The Shuang Castle Kuixing Tower was built in the 19th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1893). It is located in Shuangcheng Town. It was later demolished in 1957 due to disrepair.

Kui Xing Tower was built in Shuangcheng, because it was the place where the Manchus settled and prospered in the Jin Dynasty. The Manchu rulers called Shuangcheng the "Longxing Place" of the Manchus and the hometown of Manchuria. Kuixing is one of the twenty-eight constellations, and is responsible for the position of being the number one scholar in civil and military affairs. In 1892, Zhang Bangyan, secretary of the Qing cabinet who was born in Shuangcheng, contacted the local gentry Guan Yuqian, Zhang Junsheng, Zhang Xuansheng, Zhang Naiming, etc., and asked Sun Fengyuan, the general magistrate, to approve the construction of Kuixing Tower while forwarding the details to the summit for approval to donate funds for the renovation of Dacheng Hall. In order to enhance the cultural fortune and prosper the culture of this area, those in power complied with the proposal. This was an important reason for the construction of Kuixing Tower.

Kui Xing Tower was rebuilt in a park outside the east gate of Shuangcheng City. The reconstruction took three years and was completed on the Double Ninth Festival of the Lunar Calendar in 1993. Kuixing's height and appearance are the highest among similar buildings in the country. The building adopts the official construction method of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the construction standard is a national first-class building. The color painting uses ink lines, Xuanzi and small gold dots. The architectural style is a square tower with a cross-shaped top. The building is 39.9 meters high, with square base guardrails and 33-meter side rails. The main building is square with a side of 17 meters. The reconstruction of Kuixing Building will be built with all donations from the public. The rebuilt Kuixing Tower is 6 meters higher than the original building.

The construction of the old and new Kuixing Tower coincides with this century. This century is a period in Chinese history when national struggles and class struggles are unprecedentedly intense, and society undergoes earth-shaking fundamental changes. The Kuixing Tower, which has gone through many vicissitudes of life, stands on the land of the Twin Castles. In the wind and smoke of history, the iron horse hanging high on the top of the building always keeps pace with the progress of the times, playing exciting and majestic bells, urging generations of Twin Cities. The people have succeeded one after another and moved forward bravely. The former site of the Fourth Field Army's frontline headquarters is one of the well-known Liberation War memorial sites at home and abroad. It is also the only well-preserved landlord's manor in Northeast China. It is not only our tourist attraction, but also an important base for patriotism education. It is now listed as a provincial cultural relic protection unit.

The compound was built in 1917. It is understood that it was a private residence built by Zhang Ji, the former Jilin Provincial Police Director, for his aunt. It covers an area of ??5,760 square meters, with a two-meter-high green brick wall on the outside. The building area in the courtyard is 650 square meters. There are 35 hard-mounted houses with blue brick, gray tile and wood structures. They are divided into east and west courtyards, with a courtyard in the middle. Connected by the moon gate, the east courtyard is a typical three-heyuan courtyard with five rooms in the front and two rooms in the front, and an upper and lower room. There is an inner wall in front of it and an outer wall in front of it. In the middle of the inner wall is a wooden structure with blue tiles and a pre-curved ridged gate tower. The Sanheyuan embodies the classical palace-style architectural features of the central garden of the entire old site. The roofs are all covered with green tiles, J and green tiles. There are owl kisses standing on the main ridge, the corridors protrude forward, and the red wooden outer corridors are supported by pillars. Fang, with carved and painted buildings on it, and the walls decorated with small reliefs with auspicious meanings, are exquisite and unique, giving people a sense of solemnity. The west courtyard is a quadrangle with five rooms in the east, west, and south, and eleven doorways in the north and south. There is a moon gate connecting the two courtyards. The east courtyard is where the frontline headquarters and logistics security personnel live, and the west courtyard is the communication hub, with twelve radio stations leading to the front line and each column. Even today, fifty years later, we can still imagine the busy scene back then.

During the two years when the frontline headquarters was in Shuangcheng, my heroic Fourth Field Army defeated the reactionary forces of the Kuomintang with overwhelming force.

He has commanded 22 battles, large and small, among which the famous ones include the Battle of Xinkailing, the Battle of Three Expeditions to the South of the Yangtze River, and the Battle of Sibao Linjiang; summer offensive, autumn offensive and winter offensive, and successfully planned the 50-day battle to annihilate 47 enemies. The Liaoshen Campaign of 10,000 people made an indelible and outstanding contribution to the liberation of the entire Northeast and then to the victory of the whole country.

On the eve of liberation, the "Four Wilds" such as Peng Zhen, Lin Biao, Luo Ronghuan, Liu Yalou, Gao Gang, Chen Yun, Lu Zhengcao, Li Fuchun, Cheng Zihua, Xiao Jinguang and others were active in the two cities. After liberation, the "Four Wilds" were born one after another. There have been 521 senior generals, glorious groups such as the Sea Crossing Heroes, the Iron Tower Heroes, and a large number of heroic warriors such as Dong Cunrui.

After renovation, the former site of the Fourth Field Army’s frontline headquarters has been completely restored to its original state, as well as the revolutionary historical site. A memorial to the old site of the “Four Fields” frontline headquarters and the Shuangcheng Cultural and History Museum have been initially established. . Now the East Sanheyuan is the memorial hall of the old site, with three exhibition halls. The main room is the "Four Fields" chief's office, bedroom and combat command room exhibition hall; the east wing is the "Four Fields" generals' hero history exhibition hall; the west wing is the "Four Fields" war history exhibition room. The west quadrangle is for the Shuangpo Literary and Historian House, and has three exhibition halls. The main room is for Wenchang Academy, the east wing is for displaying cultural relics, and the west wing is for the exhibition hall of the development history of Shuangcheng.

In the fifty years since the departure of "Siye", people from all walks of life have come in droves to visit. When General Cheng Zihua came to Shuangcheng again in 1989, he looked back on the past with emotion and joy. The inscription praised the twin cities as "an important town in the Liberation War and a famous city on the Songhua River." Shuangcastle Railway Station is a group of buildings composed of pagodas and palaces. It is about 3 kilometers away from the center of Shuangcheng City and covers an area of ??1,257 square meters, including 1,041 square meters for the passenger station and 182 square meters for the luggage room. Looking at the whole, it is composed of two east-west and horizontal halls connected. The two halls have different styles, clear primary and secondary, and an asymmetrical pattern, which is an important feature of its layout art. Speaking of the asymmetrical east and west palaces and the twin cities, there is a folk legend: In the 25th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, a foreign businessman passed by the twin cities by train. He was deeply attracted by the unique local cultural landscape and simple folk customs, and felt deeply about the twin cities. There was no decent train station, so he raised funds from various sources to build it, and decided to settle here in the future. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Halfway through the station construction, the businessman was gone, and the construction could not continue, leaving many people behind. Symmetrical pattern. But this pattern invisibly adds to the charm of architectural art. Looking from a distance, the palace walls push out to embrace the building, the cornices rise in the air, and the height of the palace roof is proportional and well-proportioned. The roof of the hall is covered with green glazed tiles, with a pair of light blue sitting dragons entwined at both ends of the main ridge, and dark green owl kisses squatting on the vertical ridge. Especially in the northwest corner of the side hall stands a three-story, four-cornered attic, which is exquisite and has a unique charm.
