Peixian Han City Scenic Area

4.4/5

107 reviews

Hancheng Scenic Area is only a 10-minute walk from Peixian Bus Station, including Han Street, Han Gaozu Temple, Gefeng Terrace (Pei County Museum), and Seoul Park. It is not so much a place to appreciate Han culture, but a good place for walking and leisure. Han Street is a commercial street, occupied by various shops, restaurants, and KTVs, all built to look like buildings in the Han Dynasty. The whole lively area of Pei County is here. The original temple of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty in the south of Han Street is very small, with only one main hall, "Lepei Hall". The original temple inscription of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Diagonally opposite the original temple of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty is Gefengtai, and inside Gefengtai is the Peixian Museum, which displays a few exhibits such as early Western Han Dynasty portrait stones and Western Han painted pottery figurines. The highlight of Gefengtai is that it is the highest point of the Seoul scenic spot. When you climb up to the top and look down at the imitation of Han buildings, you can vaguely imagine the spirit of "the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying". The southern end of Han Street ends at Tangmu Road, and the south side of Tangmu Road is Seoul Park. The Han Palace District is the core scenic spot of the park. The Han Soul Palace is the main building of the Han Palace District. The first floor is inlaid with bluestone reliefs and engraved with Han portrait stone patterns; "Liu Bang's Chariots and Horses Traveling". In addition, there is a wide lake in the park. When the sun sets in the west, you can take a walk around the lake and the scenery is good.

Ode to the Wind Terrace

Gefengtai was built to commemorate the "Song of the Great Wind" written by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who returned to his homeland. It is located in the Hancheng Park in the center of Peixian County, Xuzhou City. It is one of the "Eight Ancient Scenic Spots in Pei County" and one of the important tourist attractions today. In 1982, it was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit by the Jiangsu Provincial People's Government. In 196 B.C., Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, quelled the rebellious King Yingbu of Huainan, returned to his hometown, set up the Jiupei Palace, invited the elders of his hometown to have a feast, talked about the old wine, and felt that the wine was on the rise. The hero hit the building and sang: "The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, the Weijia sea is returning to the hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!". For details, please refer to this entry and "Peixian Chronicle" and related materials. "Song of the Wind" Liu Bang "singed and cried for a few lines". One hundred and twenty teenagers sang it together, and the crowd was excited. This is the famous "Song of the Wind" in the history of literature. This song has only three lines, but the words are golden and stone, and it has a strong voice. It has a hard-working and ambitious ambition, a tragic and unrestrained heart, and the heart of making achievements and careers. It can be described as strong and heartfelt! There are three pieces of Dafeng Song Monument. A Han stele is one zhang and one chi high and four feet and four inches wide. The font is round and strong, and the structure is well-proportioned and beautiful. According to the records of "Peixian Chronicle" and "Xuzhou Prefecture Chronicle", it was written by Cai Yong or Cao Xi in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The textual research of Mr. Feng Yiwu, the present person, was written by Ai Li, a humanist from Pei in the Western Han Dynasty. There are different opinions, but they are all considered to be the treasures of calligraphy in our country. Most of the Han Bei Gong exists, about three-quarters of the original stele. The Yuan stele was copied and engraved during the Dade period of the Yuan Dynasty. The handwriting is clear and similar to the real thing. The Yuan stele has explanatory text in the shadow. The data is precious and can be used by researchers. The third piece, also known as the Jiazi Stele, was engraved by the Peixian People's Government in 1984 (Jiazi Year) at the request of the calligraphy characters according to the scale of the original stele. In February 1982, the People's Government of Jiangsu Province announced Gefengtai and Dafengge Monument as provincial key cultural relics. Gefengtai was originally located in the southeast of the ancient county. Today's Gefengtai, with a construction area of 12,600 square meters and a total building height of 26.8 meters, is the commanding height of the Seoul building complex.

Guishan Scenic Area is centered on Han Dynasty history and culture, featuring multiple attractions including the Guishan Han Tomb, the Xuzhou Imperial Decree Museum, and Dianshi Garden. It blends Han culture, imperial examination culture, and stone carving culture.

Constructed as a mausoleum within the mountain, it was carved directly into the rock, excavating almost the entire mountain. The Xuzhou Imperial Decree Museum features three main thematic exhibitions: "By the Grace of Heaven," "Success in the Imperial Examinations," and "Comprehensive Collection," making it a unique museum dedicated to imperial decrees. Dianshi Garden covers stone carvings, wood carvings, brick carvings, and stone tablets, showcasing the development of Chinese stone carving culture. Each of the three attractions has its own focus. When visiting, it is recommended to first see the Guishan Han Tomb to experience the awe of ancient engineering, then explore the Xuzhou Imperial Decree Museum and Dianshi Garden to savor the cultural relics from different historical periods.

Mount Taishan is centered around Mount Taishan, the first of the Five Great Mountains, with steep and towering peaks, and the views of sunrise and sunset from the summit are breathtaking. Sea of clouds often appear among the mountains, and in winter there are spectacular rime ice views. In addition to natural scenery, the mountain also has numerous historical sites, stone inscriptions, religious temples, and other cultural views, with cliff inscriptions and steles scattered throughout the mountain, which is a major feature of Mount Taishan. Mount Taishan has its own highlights in each of the four seasons: in spring, peach and pear blossoms bloom across the mountains; in summer, the mountaintop is lush green and cool, making it a great summer retreat; in fall, the leaves are a mix of red and yellow, dyeing the layered forests in brilliant colors. There are multiple routes to the summit of Mount Taishan. The hiking trail at the Hongmen entrance is the traditional route opened during Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Fengshan ceremony, consisting mainly of stone steps. Walking from Hongmen to Zhongtianmen, you will pass by numerous attractions along the way, including Wanxian Tower, Doumu Palace, Huima Ridge, and Hutiange. This area is also where stone inscriptions are concentrated. After reaching Zhongtianmen, you can take a cable car or walk to Nantianmen and the summit area, where you can see attractions such as Eighteen Bends, Shengxian Archway, Duisong Mountain, Chaoyang Cave, and Wudafu Pines. The Tianwaicun route is a road leading from Tianwaicun to Zhongtianmen, accessible by tour bus, passing by Heilong Pool, Fanzhi Cliff, and Feng Yuxiang's Tomb. After reaching Zhongtianmen, it merges with the latter half of the Hongmen route. Travelers who prefer not to hike can choose this route. The Tianzhufeng route is relatively steep with few visitors, and is a hiking route often taken by outdoor enthusiasts. It features beautiful mountain scenery, including attractions such as Liyu Back, and at the starting point there is also the large-scale live performance "Chinese Mount Taishan: Grand Ceremony of Fengshan." The Taohuayu route is mostly chosen by travelers when descending the mountain. From Tianjie at the summit, take the ropeway to the mountainside, then transfer to a tour bus down to Taohuayu at the foot of the mountain. Along the way, you can enjoy the Colorful Stone Stream scenic area, where the colorful stone patterns at the bottom of the stream are quite magical. Dongyudao is also a walking hiking route, with attractions such as Qingyang Hall, Hanque Gate, and Dongtianmen along the way. Each route ultimately leads to the Daiding tourist area at the summit. Daiding features the main peak of Mount Taishan, Jade Emperor Peak, the Tianjie Scenic Area, as well as attractions such as Sun Viewing Peak, Daguan Peak, Zhanlu Terrace, Bixia Temple, and Confucius Temple. On clear days at the summit, you can gaze at the Yellow River in the distance and admire the wonder of the "Golden Belt of the Yellow River." The Houshiwu area is rich in varied pines and rocks, and there is a cableway leading to the North Heavenly Gate. Many visitors who want to watch the sunrise choose to climb Mount Taishan at night, usually setting off from the Hongmen route, and it is advisable to depart around 11 pm. This route is well lit at night, and a hike of about seven to eight hours will allow you to reach Sun Viewing Peak or Jade Emperor Peak at the summit before sunrise, which are ideal spots for watching the sunrise.

Millennium City Park

4.6/5

29.1k reviews

Millennium City Park is located by the shores of Longting Lake in Kaifeng. It is a large-scale historical and cultural theme park of the Song Dynasty, recreated one-to-one based on the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan. The park is divided into two sections by the Shuangting Bridge: the South Garden recreates the bustling street life of the Bianjing city, with taverns, eateries, teahouses, and pharmacies lined up along the streets; the North Garden is an imperial garden, with waterside halls, the Sifang Courtyard, and other palace buildings standing by the lake. Performers and street vendors in the park mostly wear Song Dynasty costumes, with ancient music lingering and bells and drums sounding, so that after a few steps visitors can easily fall under the illusion of "stepping into a painting in one morning, dreaming back a thousand years in one day." Architecture is the intuitive and tangible highlight here: the Rainbow Bridge spanning the Bian River is a replica of the famous bridge in the painting, shaped like a long rainbow, and standing on the bridge watching the grain boats pass by feels much like being inside the painting; the Fuyun Pavilion towers above all the other pavilions in the garden, with its tiered red towers and golden tiles on all four eaves, inviting one to climb from afar; the Shangshan Gate is rebuilt after the Northern Song dynasty Dongjing city gate, tall and majestic with brilliant painted decorations, making it the most imposing gate tower in the garden; and the Shuixin Xie, Shuangting Bridge, Jiulong Bridge, and other pavilions and waterside structures are scattered among the blue waves. The main attraction of the day is the immersive performances staged throughout the park: "Bao Zheng Inspects the Bian River Grain Transport" unfolds on the water on both sides of the Rainbow Bridge; "Squire Wang Seeks a Son-in-Law" features a decorated tower erected in front of Squire Wang's house where a silk ball is tossed to choose a groom; "Yue Fei Challenges Prince Xiao Liang" raises dust on the Song dynasty parade ground as horses gallop; and folk performances such as cockfighting, stilt walking, and pan drumming are interspersed throughout. To step into the action yourself, head to the Four Directions Courtyard to don traditional costumes and enter the examination cells for a hands-on Song dynasty imperial exam experience; families with children can enjoy carousel rides, roller coasters, and other amusement facilities wrapped in Song dynasty storytelling at the Song Dynasty·Royal Pleasure Ground; and in the entertainment quarters, face-changing, qigong fire-breathing, ancient magic, and other Song dynasty variety acts take turns on stage, with intangible cultural heritage feats ready to break out at any moment right beside you. After nightfall, the park takes on a different face: red lanterns light up one after another, the market streets are brightly illuminated, and it feels like a completely different park from the daytime. The large-scale water-based live performance "The Great Song Dynasty's Eastern Capital: A Dream of Splendor" is staged on the surface of Jinglong Lake. The entire show is woven together from eight classic Song ci poems and the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival, drawing the audience back to the Northern Song dynasty's Eastern Capital a thousand years ago. The performance runs about 70 minutes, and many visitors deliberately plan their itinerary to stay until the evening to catch this show. Dining in the park is also convenient: the snack street at Dongjing Food Court brings together Kaifeng snacks such as fried liangfen, tongzi chicken, and almond tea, perfect for eating while strolling; if you want to sit down for a proper meal, you can visit the reconstructed Sun Yang Zheng Dian in the park, which was originally one of the seventy-two official restaurants of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, where you can taste traditional Henan dishes such as soup dumplings and carp with baked noodles.

Xuzhou MuseumLocated at the northern foot of Yunlong Mountain, the original site was the former palace of Emperor Qianlong during his southern tour in 1757. To the southwest of the museum is the Western Han Dynasty quarry site, to the southeast are the Qianlong Palace and Stele Garden, and to the north isYunlong mountain - Tushan han tomb. Among them, the museum is the core; as the saying goes, "To see Han culture, look to Xuzhou," and the artifacts unearthed from Xuzhou's various Han tombs are gathered here. The fact that you can see jade burial suits sewn with gold thread, silver thread, and copper thread all at once is enough to delight any cultural relic enthusiast. On the first floor of the museum, the Deng Yongqing Collection of Calligraphy and Painting Gallery displays the ink works of masters such as Bada Shanren (Zhu Da), Qi Baishi, and Xu Beihong. On the second floor, the "Tiangong Han Jade”The exhibition hall is worth a visit; the jade burial suit sewn with gold thread unearthed from the Chu King's tomb at Shizishan is displayed here and is a "treasure of the museum." Of course, some visitors find the jade-inlaid lacquered coffin beside it even more impressive due to its massive size; the jade coffin was also unearthed from the Chu King's tomb at Shizishan. In addition, jade burial suits sewn with silver thread and with copper thread are also in this exhibition hall. TwoIn the "Han Dynasty Grandeur" exhibition hall of the building, there is a silver tortoise-knob seal of Liu Zhu from the Guishan Han Tomb, and this silver seal has quite a story behind it., was picked up by the electrician working inside the tomb who was participating in the excavation, and was later acquired and recovered by the museum, and from this it was determined that the tomb owner of the Guishan Han Tomb was Liu Zhu. The "Golden Spears and Iron Horses" exhibition hall displays various ancient weapons; the "Graceful Figures in Splendor" exhibition hall exhibits pottery figurines from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. Han figurines have abstract forms, Northern Dynasties figurines are delicate and dignified, and Sui and Tang figurines are graceful and opulent; among them, the musicians and dancers figurines unearthed from the Chu King's Tomb at Tuolanshan are particularly striking, with slender Chu waists and long sleeves, trulyReflectthe aesthetic tastes of the Han dynasty Chu state. The exhibition halls on the third floor also display porcelain, bronzes, gold and silver wares, and fine furniture from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties through the Qing Dynasty. The Qianlong Palace on the southeast side of the museum is not large; in its courtyard there are a small bridge, pavilions, and rockeries, and compared with the compactness of Jiangnan gardens, it looks somewhat more open and spacious. It introduces the story of Qianlong and Xuzhou, and several stone steles stand there. The quarry site on the southwest side of the museum looks at first glance like an ordinary green belt and is easy to miss. Due to inadequate protection, only part of the site remains; through the glass floor on the ground, the underground quarry site can be seen, some site structures are scattered on the green space, and some exposed rock faces left by quarrying can also be viewed. The earthen mound Han tomb on the north side of the museum is the tomb of a Pengcheng king of the Eastern Han, and visitors can go down into the tomb pit; in the Pengcheng King's Tomb Unearthed Artifacts Exhibition Hall behind it, artifacts unearthed from the tomb can be seen.
