Ancient City of Luanzhou

The Ancient City of Luanzhou is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction and a cultural tourism destination.

The Ancient City of Luanzhou is located in Luanzhou Town, Luan County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. This flourishing ancient city by the great river for three millennia takes its structure from the majestic mountains and its beauty from the graceful Luan River. It weaves the unique charm of 26 ethnic groups into the classic Ming and Qing architecture, and blends a thousand years of northern culture into this dreamlike wonderland. The 2,000-acre flourishing ancient city is meticulously crafted to include a delicate northern ancient street expo area, a rich traditional folk tourism zone, an authentic Luan River cultural scenic area, an original northern cuisine dining zone, a profound northern cultural heritage area, a local religious culture pilgrimage zone, a charming northern wedding experience zone, an authentic ancient Chinese wellness zone, creating the most beautiful ancient city in the north.

The Ancient City of Luanzhou delves deeply into its millennia-old history, carefully studies the beauty of the integration between northern and southern cultures of the Chinese nation, uses the Research Mountain as its backbone, the Luan River as its soul, human culture as its charm, and green forests as its veins. With a massive investment of 5.2 billion yuan, the development of the Ancient City of Luanzhou has created an extraordinary national-level attraction spanning 135–140 days of tourism. Covering more than 2,000 acres, it exudes the grandeur of a flourishing northern era, embodying the noble character of sages throughout history. Planned around the concept of “harmony,” the city’s overall layout is vertical in harmony and horizontal in a timeline, capturing the essence of the most prosperous periods from three thousand years of history, drawing on architectural art rich in ethnic fusion characteristics, presenting a flourishing scene where water encircles the ancient city and bustling streets flow like a historical river accumulated over thousands of years. Each step allows you to experience the magnificent charm of a golden age. Coming from the Luan River, it journeys toward prosperity.

The Ancient City of Luanzhou restores historical relics from a thousand years ago: ancient city gates, the old county yamen where the story of Yang Sanniang’s lawsuit took place, bell and drum towers, the official reception pavilion, ancient stages, covered bridges, Luanzhou Pavilion, Harmony Garden, Caiji Tower, and other flourishing-era structures. These bring to life historical images that were once distant and hard to clearly grasp, capturing their essence and merging them with the present. Blending southern water culture, it creates a surrounding “Qinglong River” where people live by the water and dance along its banks. Dominated by Khitan culture, it revives the lively scenes of the “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” painting, comprehensively developing snack and barbecue streets, Korean-style streets, wedding culture streets, temple fair culture streets, folk culture streets, Korean women’s streets, Burmese jade streets, wellness culture streets, as well as a visitor center and five-star hotels, showcasing boundless splendor and overwhelming momentum. A northern cultural city integrating culture, tourism, commerce, conferences, residence, and leisure, a national 5A-level scenic spot that spans a thousand years, emerges in dazzling glory.

There are many attractions within the ancient city, such as the East City Gate Welcome Square, Guan Yu Temple, Confucius Temple, the Ming and Qing-style Chinese classical architectural complexes like the Luanzhou Yamen and the Official Reception Pavilion, the “Qinglong River” and “Jiulong Stream,” the northern-style waterside ancient town, snack streets, antique streets, and quadrangle courtyard inn streets.
