Covering more than 200 hectares, the scenic area includes memorial temples of the family, statues of its generals, and a large Buddhist temple said to be the place where one of Yang Ye's sons served as a monk.
The rest of the story revolved around Yang's great faith in his nation and the undaunted determination he and his entire family devoted to the nation.
