Bronze Ancient Town

　　The ancient town is situated at the entrance of the Yellow River Bronze Gorge Grand Canyon tourist area, covering an area of 600 acres. It is being developed in two phases and was fully completed in 2015, with an estimated investment of 120 million yuan. The first phase has been completed, constructing 21,000 square meters of antique-style commercial buildings. The design is divided into three zones: the River Source Cluster, the Canal City Cluster, and the Water City Cluster. It is mainly used for the exhibition and sale of tourist souvenirs, leisure and entertainment, ethnic specialty dining, and business hotels. In addition, there will be a Water Conservancy Engineering Museum documenting the history of water conservancy development.

　　This project leverages the high-quality intangible cultural heritage of the ancient Qin and Han canals in Qingtongxia City, the superior ecological environment of the Yellow River water system, and makes full use of its geographic location advantage at the entrance to the Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon tourist area. Once completed, Bronze Ancient Town will adopt the brand “Bronze Ancient Town, Water City Beyond the Great Wall,” focusing on experiences of Yellow River culture, sightseeing in the ancient canal town, and distinctive leisure hospitality. It will take full advantage of its geographic location within the Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon tourist area, drawing on the long history of Yellow River water conservancy development and the profound agricultural heritage to establish itself as a unique cultural and eco-tourism town along the Yellow River and surrounding regions.
