Thousands of years of history and culture have left many cultural heritages for the Han River and formed valuable tourism resources. Gaomin Temple, with a history of thousands of years, is one of the "four jungles" of Zen Buddhism. Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty stopped here many times during their southern tour. The scattered royal tombs of the Han Dynasty are scattered at the foot of Ganquan Mountain in Hanjiang District, creating a natural royal museum of the Han Dynasty. Yang Di's tomb, once famous, is also located near the Han River, leaving many legends. Tai 'an Phoenix Island, surrounded by water, is a natural forest ecological scenic spot.
The famous historical figures in Hanjiang District are:
Hsin P. Soh, the father of China radar
Wu Daguan, the father of China aero-engine.
Yu Youtai, a famous agricultural machinery expert in China
Yang Shengmou, King of Kiwifruit in China
Chen Jun, President of Nanjing University
