The scenic spots built on every pit have different themes, including one fully displaying the historic culture of the era of emperors Yao, Shun and Yu, dating back to approximately 2,600 BC. Another shows the folk culture of eastern Shandong, and the underground Air Defense Education Museum. A cultural highlight of the scenic area is the large open-air performance space with real landscape as part of the show to ensure the best display of local culture and traditions.
