Xinglong Cultural Park

　　Yanzhou’s “Xinglong Cultural Park” is a large-scale cultural tourism destination grounded in Buddhist cultural resources, combining famous temples, iconic pagodas, performances, immersive experiences, and leisure offerings. It is a key provincial project in Shandong Province and a prioritized cultural industry park.

　　The park utilizes modern techniques to promote traditional Chinese culture. With a core philosophy centered around Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, it revolves around themes such as modern Buddhist worship, immersive Buddhist cultural experiences, exhibitions of traditional Chinese culture and arts, and spiritual leisure. The entire park is divided into three functional zones—West, East, and South—each serving distinct purposes: “cultural relic displays and Buddhist worship,” “experiential entertainment and performances,” and “vacation leisure and meditative retreats.” The West Zone “Worship Center” features the 118-meter-tall Lingguang Treasure Hall, the Jingxin Garden, the Guanyin Garden, Xinglong Pagoda, and Xinglong Temple; the East Zone “Experience Center” includes an 80,000-square-meter indoor Buddhist culture theme park offering interactive experiences that guide visitors “from human to Buddha,” plus an outdoor “Bodhi Theater” showcasing the live performance “Journey to the East of Bodhi”; the South Zone “Meditation Center” provides a tranquil wetland setting ideal for meditation, relaxation, and mindful enjoyment.

　　Xinglong Cultural Park will become China’s first theme tourist destination offering an “ultimate experience” of Buddhist culture. Visiting Mount Tai for enlightenment, Qufu to pay homage to Confucius, and Yanzhou to worship Buddha will form Shandong Province’s new golden “Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism” tourism route.
