Junti Lane is at the north end of the east section of Middle Avenue, and adjacent to The North Lane of the Fence in the west, so named because there is a Junti Pavilion in the lane.

· Pass ·
The ancient Yellow River of the Yanghe River was once a section of the Caohe River (Grand Canal). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court moved the "banknote pass" collected on the Yellow River from Sancha to Baiyanghe Town, called "Yanghe Pass". Yanghe Pass was subordinate to the "Huai Pass" of the Imperial Household Department, and ships sailing on the Yellow River were required to pay a mast tax, which was issued to the "mast seal" after tax payment and affixed to the mast, which was valid for 1 year.
After the opening of the Middle Canal, the Yellow Transport was separated, most of the ships did not pass through the Yanghe River, and the tax customs were changed to the middle canal section of Suqian County, called "East Pass", and the Yanghe Pass also withdrew from the historical stage. People call the old site of Yanghe Pass "Guankou", on the side of the ancient Yellow River in the present-day Dongwei Eight Groups.
· Bridgehead ·
The bridge mouth is located in the middle of Mishi Street in the group of present-day Dongwei Village. When it comes to the origin of the bridge mouth, there are different versions of folklore. The versions are different, but there is a common topic, that is, a poor person at the bottom, who offended the rich gentleman Mr. Xia, and was finally forced to prostrate himself in public at the bridge of Mishi Street. Since then, the bridge has been called the "Kowtow Bridge" and the bridgehead intersection has been called the "Kowtow Bridge Mouth".

New South Park Community
The New South Park community was formed by the merger of the two administrative villages of the station and Zhuangxi, and through consultation, the new administrative village adopted the original name of Zhuangxi Village, "South Park" plus a "new" character. The term "New South Park" was formed as the new village name. In fact, the two villages were only nominally merged and are still managed separately today.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the continuous cultivated land outside the Yanghe Wei was called "Garden", which was located exactly south of Baiyanghe Town in Taoyuan County, so it was called "South Garden". The fertile land of Nanyuan, the villagers are proficient in farming, and the tradition of growing vegetables has always been the "vegetable basket" of the ancient town. ”

· Zhuang Xi ·
During the period of agricultural co-operation, several primary cooperatives were established by farmers in Nanyuan, the earliest of which was the "Zhuangxi Society" established by the families in the west of the village. In 1956, Nanyuan established the Senior Society, because it was renamed nanyuan in Siyang County, and a county could not have two senior societies with the same name, and could not be named after Nanyuan. After consultation among the members, it was decided to use "Zhuangxi" as the name of the senior society, called "Zhuangxi Senior Agricultural Cooperative". The term "Zhuangxi" is still used as the name of the administrative village to this day.

· Station ·
The station, as a place name, also began when the High Society was founded. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a Tongjing Avenue in the south of Baiyanghe Town, and after the founding of the Republic of China, it was renamed "Haizheng Highway" and began to have cars running. In the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927 AD), Tongjing Avenue was first opened to buses, and there were no stations on the whole road. Roadside shops sell tickets, passengers wait in the open air, and people call this place a "station".
When the senior club was established, the members of the club agreed to name it "Station Senior Agricultural Cooperative", and the station place name is still used today.

Mishi Street is a north-south street, north of the east-west Middle Street, south to Tongjing Avenue (now Xuhuai Highway), about 0.7 kilometers long, is the economic and cultural center of Baiyanghe Town, Taoyuan County. From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China, this street was famous for its distribution center for rice, salt, coarse cloth, and Daily groceries.
There are many ancient buildings on Mishi Street, most of which are the residences of large merchants in the past. The former residences of Han Deqin, chairman of the Kuomintang Jiangsu Province, and Li Shouwei, a general of the Kuomintang army, are located on Mishi Street, and there are also traditional industries such as bamboo workshops and sauce gardens on the street.
At that time, the station brigade and the Mishi Neighborhood Committee were on Mishi Street.
· Ancient Mosque ·
Yanghe Town has a strong religious and cultural atmosphere since ancient times, and the town once built "three steps, two bridges, 72 temples and Taoist temples". Unfortunately, only one "halal temple" still exists on Mishi Street.
The temple was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736) by Yu Qin "Xiao Lian" of Baiyanghe Town, who was then the lishui sect, Pizhou Xuezheng and Ning Guo, in the north of Mishi Street. On January 16, 1939, the mosque was partially destroyed by the Japanese-Kosovar war. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government twice allocated special funds for restoration and reconstruction to restore its original appearance.
Yanghe Mosque was presided over by the Ningxia PaiFang imam until 1932, and then succeeded by Ma Chengliang as imam in 1979. In 1987, Yu Qinglai took up the position of imam.
According to Islamic law, the "Yanghe Mosque Management Committee" was subsequently established by public consultation. Ding Rongke, Ding Rongbao and Ma Zongxin successively served as the directors of the management committee, and the current director is Mr. Li Yuan. Li Yuan also built a Muslim cemetery in the Zhouzhuang group of Zhongxing Village with the support of Yanghe New District, where Islamic believers can be buried in accordance with ethnic rules after their deaths.
In April 2010, Yanghe Mosque was listed as a cultural relics protection unit in Suqian City by Sucheng District. Mr. Wu Yingning, a famous calligrapher in Suqian City, also inscribed a plaque of "Halal Ancient Temple" for this temple.

· Iron Bell Land ·
The Iron Bell Land, named after the iron bell that once had an iron bell. There are stone horses next to the iron bell, which are placed between the Temple Gate of the Jade Emperor Pavilion and the Fish Basket Temple (also known as the Grandma Temple). Every time the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the winter solstice, and the eighth festival of Lapa, people will come together to pray for incense.
In the past, the sanitary conditions were not good, and children often died prematurely. Some people will bring their children to the iron bell, recognize the "iron bell" as a dry grandfather, and protect the healthy growth of the child. After marriage, the childless couple will go to the grandmother's temple to ask for incense, and after the incense, they will knock a stone chip on the stone horse to take home to "offer up", which is said to be very magical. Some families later gave birth to boys, and they used "horse" as the child's milk name, such as the surname of Wang and the surname of Pan who lived behind kuilou, and the names of the male milk they gave birth to were: "foal" and "horse".
Later, the Yanghe Distillery was expanded, and the town adjusted part of the Tiezhongdi to the Daxu Brigade, and built a new village for the members of the five teams who were demolished, so in the "Siyang County Gazetteer", the Tiezhongdi was used as a natural village name for the Daxu Brigade.

· Zhu Bo ·
"Zhu Bo" is located in the second group of the Yanghe Town Station Brigade, and is now built as "Yanghe Wine Street".
Legend has it that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, there were four Zhu brothers who fled from Qufu, Shandong Province, settled here to make a living. There is only 1 family in the four rooms, and the rest are all female dolls. Helplessly, he had to recruit a male with the surname of "Wang, Yang, and Xu" as a son-in-law for the elderly. Some people jokingly call it a "pig's nest". Later, some people felt indecent, so they changed their name to "Zhu Bo".
In fact, at that time, the terrain here was low-lying, forming a big Wang, and most of the residents living in Wangbian were residents surnamed Zhu, so people called it Zhu Bo.
