Nanqiao is a major town in Fengxian district,which recent development has more than doubled in size. Of particular interest is Guhua Park which contains the "Three Women Temple" or "Ancestral Hall" (三女祠;Sān NǚCí ). During the Zhou dynasty,the King of Wu's three daughters hanged themselves rather than be caught by the King of Yue's soldiers. The town is also a short taxi ride from Xinghai Beach and its resorts,also slated for development. Nanqiao has a 1000-bed medical center,the Fengxian District Central Hospital,which is an all-discipline tertiary hospital.[ clarification needed ]
