According to the local topography characteristics, Tongyuantang is built on the mountain in a stepped manner and put into operation in May 2016, which is a comprehensive cultural tourism industrial park with traditional characteristics and antique buildings as the carrier.

Tongyuan Hall has a total of seven floors, rich in connotation and complete functions. The Chinese surname tree stands tall in front of the hall, which means that "the tree of the towering sky will have its roots; the water of the Huaishan Mountain will have its source." "It also contains the most appropriate and appropriate interpretation of Chinese surname culture." The pavilion over there is named "Siyuan Pavilion", which means to drink water and think of the source, and also reminds us that we do not forget to dig wells.
Stepping into the door, the first words you see are "Huaxia Tongyuantang", which was inscribed on the spot by Mr. Liu Wenxi, the founder of the Loess School, when he came to Wubao in 2014. The wooden door head of this bucket arch cornice adopts a tenon (sun) tenon structure, the whole structure does not use a single nail, but it is very strong and durable, and it will become stronger over time. The "Fenglu Restaurant" in the west, because Zhangjiayuan Village was originally named "Fenglu Village", it was named "Fenglu Restaurant", which can receive 150 people to eat at the same time, with 11 private rooms of various types, 2 lobbies, which can provide a variety of special dishes and northern Shaanxi flavor snacks.

To the west is the Tongyuantang Museum, which mainly displays the natural history and humanistic history of northern Shaanxi.
On the third floor, we first saw this plaque "Planting Virtue" Yutian Yiyi, planted with white walls, three years of Qi tree, and the fruit was red. (The two first words of this couplet allude to the name of Tongyuantang investor Zhang Yaoqi Yuqi, and the upper and lower couplets imply the accumulation of goodness and virtue, and the consequences are fruitful).) The golden jade garden on the east side is a suite with a bedroom, living room and kitchen, where we can feel the warmth of home. To the west is the exhibition hall, which includes the history of Wubao County, folk art, folk culture, farming culture and folk tools closely related to our lives, and here we can see many artifacts that we are particularly familiar with when we were children.

Mr. Zhang Yaoqi's father is a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, and the four plaques on the top were given to Zhang Yaoqi's father and himself by people from all walks of life. Mr. Zhang Yaoqi left Wubao in his youth to wander around, and it was also a few years ago that he returned to his hometown, saw the decaying old mansion, and suddenly had the idea of rebuilding the old mansion in his heart, thus achieving the magnificent antique building we see today. This horse shed here is also the original one in the courtyard of their old house, but it has been repaired on the basis of the original, and the stone mill on this side is also originally there, and it has been re-strengthened and updated.
The brick carving on the wall here is "Five Bats Holding Shou", which means auspicious longevity. On the ground is a whole piece of bluestone, produced in Shandong, processed in Hebei. On this stone we see the "Ten Perfections", which means the Perfection of Wealth. Here is an old mansion cultural wall "Asking Stodge".

On the sixth floor, the ornaments made of dates that tourists saw were called jujube eggs, and now very few people will meet, which was made by a grandmother in her 80s at that time, which is very precious and commemorative.

The seventh floor is a reception hall that also provides a resting place for tourists waiting for the train.

In Tongyuan Hall, I can't help but improvise a poem: "Different styles and different people, ancient and modern caves to see the annual rings, reminisce about the past in Tongyuan Hall, and have a lot of hearts stained with wind and dust!" "Different Tongyuantang welcomes friends from all over the country to be guests of Wubao, and to be guests of Tongyuantang! It's the haven of your home!
