The Nanhu Lake scenic area in the district, which houses the Red Boat where the first national congress of the Communist Party of China was convened 100 years ago, was designated as a national 5A-level scenic spot in 2011 and was included among the second batch of Zhejiang International Cultural Exchange Bases in 2022.

As the oldest city wall in Jiaxing, Zicheng was built in the Three Kingdoms (220-280), with a history of 1,790 years. In June 2021, Jiaxing Zicheng Site Park opened, vividly showcasing the city's culture and history.
