The town, which incorporates 26 ethnic customs into Ming and Qing architecture, was rebuilt on the original site.
The park covers a small area, and the buildings are built in the style of ancient northern dwellings. The East Gate, Guandi Temple, Purple Gold Pagoda, and the highest-standard "Yizhi Hometown" archway are all popular places for tourists to take photos.
Some special activities and performances are held in the ancient city from time to time. During holidays or peak seasons, there will be performances such as Pingju Opera, Fire Sacrifice Ceremony, Tai Chi, Northeast Errenzhuan, and Northern Hebei Traditional Yangko.
In addition, there are lantern festivals, and lights are almost always on at night during the peak season. The ancient city is decorated with brilliant lights, making it a great place to take night photos.

It's still very good, with a sense of combining modern and ancient
The ancient city of Luanzhou has long lost its charm, and most of the ancient things have been lost. Without cultural heritage, it will not be very popular, but it is right to preserve it as a historical site. There are not many people in the ancient city because there are no other scenic spots.
The so-called Luanzhou Ancient City is a cluster of antique commercial buildings newly built in the past 10 years, not the ruins of an ancient city. The ancient city certainly disappeared in the 1976 earthquake. The streets are mostly filled with small restaurants and shops without any characteristics, and the street vendors look very chaotic.
I thought it was okay if the town was a little rustic and had more antique buildings, but I never expected it to be so rustic. The stalls were ok, but there were all kinds of loud speakers that were so noisy, and there were also haunted houses, 9D cinemas and other things.
Don't take a photo with them. I thought they were the publicity staff of the haunted house next door. They took the initiative to hug my child and kept gesturing for you to take a photo. So I took out my phone and took a photo. After taking the photo, they started to pester you for money, 20 yuan, pretending to be disabled. Many people have been deceived. Is there no one to manage the scenic area? There is also the Confucian Temple. It says that you can visit for free. You will be given incense when you enter the door. If you don't want it, they will say that you don't respect the culture. If you bring in incense, they will ask you to worship Buddha and pay for the incense! It's better to just charge admission tickets! ! ! ! !
I went there for two days and the overall feeling was pretty good. It was raining heavily on the day I went there. The streets were quite quiet during the day but became lively at midnight. There was a bonfire party at the end of the street when I went there. The cruise was also good 😊 There were choices for food and drink
This small town is well built. I have been to Wuzhen, Xitang, Tongli, and Gubeishui, but I feel that Luanzhou still has its own characteristics. Although it is man-made, some of its original appearance has been restored. One can imagine the original appearance of the prosperous ancient city on the banks of the 3,000-year-old river.
There are indeed a lot of barbecues! But I recommend going to the crowded ones. I went to the less crowded ones and the service attitude was terrible! I don't recommend renting a battery car. There are only a few streets and the snacks are not very special. Most of them are stinky tofu, potato towers, and takoyaki. There are also many clothing stores, and you can't bargain. Barbecue is relatively cheap. It's not expensive. It's recommended not to do the boat for 50 per person. First, it's a waste of time, and second, mosquitoes may favor you! To be honest, the famous local chess piece biscuits are the same as the wife biscuits... In this case, there is no special feature! Maybe girls are interested in the characteristic ethnic clothes in the town. Most of the previous reviews were negative. I went to see it and it was not bad! 2018, 8, 21
I have been to the ancient city of Luanzhou, but because it is completely newly built, I will not show it here. Here I would like to show you the old Luanzhou Yamen, a little-known place. It is a real historical site. The famous story of Yang Sanjie's complaint took place here. I hope you will have time to go and see it. It is meaningful.
Commercialization is quite serious, but the streets away from the main street are relatively quiet. The night view is better than the daytime. The food is cheap and unpalatable. You can't see any local characteristics. All the people are from other places.
The later rebuilt antique town is very beautiful and its popularity is rising.
Shadow puppets are the most fun. It was my first time to see them. They even let me play with them. I think I have quite a talent. Thumbs up for traditional art.
#Travel in Hanfu# Check in at Luanzhou Ancient City in Tangshan, Hebei, an ancient town that can only exist in filters.
Luanzhou Ancient City was built on the original site. The scenery is not very good, the planning is not good, the scenery is very messy, and the commercial atmosphere is strong. I read some guides before coming here, which also said that the commercial atmosphere is strong. I thought it was just a lot of shops, but after coming here, I really understood that there is no cultural atmosphere here, everything is for making money.
For example, when you visit the Yue Lao Temple, you will be guided to donate money to tie a red string. At first, it is said to be free, but they will guide you to spend auspicious numbers like 66.
If the distance is not far and you want to go out and relax, here are some tips
eat:
I recommend two restaurants, Hao Honglai Fire Roast and Liu's Red Mud Tile BBQ. They are good quality and cheap, but the serving speed is too slow.
live:
There are many inns there. The inn we stayed in was called Luanshuiwan Inn. The proprietress was very nice and the place was antique. If you come here, you can consider staying there.
OK:
We departed from Beijing and took a train to Luanxian Railway Station. The ticket price was just over 30 yuan, which was quite reasonable. If you drive yourself, it would not be worth it if you don't go to other places at the same time.
Play:
There is not much to do here, especially for people who have been to many ancient cities. You can take a boat tour for 50 yuan, and the night tour is beautiful.
There is also a Purple Gold Pagoda. If the weather is good, you can climb the tower to get a full view of the ancient city.
Photograph:
If you are not wearing Hanfu, there is nothing to shoot. For this kind of ancient city with poor planning and often bad weather, it is recommended to use small scenes instead of large scenes.
The above is what you need to know. If you really have nowhere to go on the weekend, you can come and have a look.
I feel the ancient city is nice! Especially the night view is beautiful! Take a boat to tour the ancient city! The scenery is pleasant! It is a bit like Gubeikou Town! There are many places to eat! Especially barbecue!
It's a rip off, not worth it. The air on the road is so bad that you can't breathe, the road conditions are very bad, the so-called ancient city is completely a newly built commercial street, there is a shop called braised chicken rice, and you can eat two dead flies in a braised chicken...
info plus: As soon as you enter the village, the first shop on your left is called "Guangxi Specialties". The old man sells the goods at reasonable prices. It is worth recommending.
The ancient city of Luanzhou is entirely made up of antique buildings and is a favorite attraction for children.
Maybe it's the off-season, there are not many people, even the shops are rarely open
As a reconstructed ancient city scenic spot, Luanzhou Ancient City is all artificially built, and it is built with the strategy of development and operation. The ancient city is not far from Tangshan. In Tangshan, which is mainly an industrial city, tourism resources are relatively scarce. The industrial tourism projects developed now are quite popular with the audience. After the destruction of the Tangshan earthquake, the reconstructed scenic spot of Luanzhou Ancient City is mainly based on folk culture. The famous Luanzhou shadow puppet, paper-cutting, food, etc. are all gathered in the form of this ancient city, which can allow tourists to have a good understanding of the history and culture of this place, as well as the folk heritage. For this reason alone, this place is still worth a visit.
The night view is good, suitable for taking photos, and it is a paradise for foodies. I personally feel that it lacks some characteristics, and it feels a bit like a snack street. It is suitable for young people to relax when they have nothing to do. You can stay in the inn for two days, see the night view, have a midnight snack, and drink some wine. It is not recommended to come during holidays. The room rate is too expensive. The room that usually costs 150 will cost 500-600 during holidays. It is very inappropriate. It is also not recommended for the elderly.
I took advantage of the short holiday to travel here. The night view is very beautiful. The dining places are all small barbecues. There are many accommodations. The specialties are fire cakes and chess pieces. There are also shadow puppet shows.
Luanzhou Ancient Town may not be the closest to Beijing, but it is the easiest to reach. Compared with the traffic jam of half an hour in front of Qinghe Toll Station on Beijing-Chengde Expressway on weekends, we drove all the way and arrived at this northern ancient town built by Tangshan City at a huge cost in less than three hours. What impressed me most was not the same small bridges and flowing water and ancient streets and alleys in many ancient towns I have visited, nor the bustling tourists, but the simple folk customs of the locals: not only the prices in the convenience stores in the city are the same as those outside the city, but also the dishes in the restaurants are delicious, large and affordable, especially the free admission model can be regarded as a unique one among the ancient towns, which is worth our special trip.
I came here for the second time and took some photos of the scenery. There were fewer people and it was not noisy.
The ancient city of Luanzhou is located in the embrace of the Luan River in Luan County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. The folk customs here are simple and quaint, and it is a place of local religious pilgrimage. There are many varieties of traditional souvenirs and small foods with traditional flavors in the ancient city. There are a wide variety of small commodities everywhere, including retro ones and popular boutique gadgets. Even if you don’t buy them, just looking at them is a special thing. There are not only northern specialty restaurants here, but also the imperial kitchens of the imperial palaces where the emperors visited here, as well as matches that are rare today, and Tibetan cultural museums that promote Tibetan Buddhist culture. Rows of prayer wheels compose peace and auspiciousness. Snacks from the north and south of China can be seen everywhere here, which are a collection of snacks from the north and south of China, connecting ancient and modern times. There are elegant and fragrant foods from the south, and there are delicious Northeastern stews. In the ancient city, in addition to many wine shops and snack shops on the street, Chinese retro inns can be seen everywhere.
We left reluctantly, but the trip to Luanzhou Ancient City was very impressive. Although many people have complaints about the reconstruction of the ancient city, I still gained a lot from it. Although the ancient city is newly built, its history and culture cannot be erased. In fact, there are only a few places in the thousand-year-old ancient city that have not been repaired and maintained over the years. If you go to the ancient city just for curiosity, it will be meaningless. When you see the essence of traditional culture, it will be worth the trip.
Luanzhou Ancient City is located in Luanzhou Town, Luan County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. Luanzhou Ancient City is a prosperous ancient city on the bank of a 3,000-year-old river. It is built with the magnificence of the mountains and outlined with the beauty of the Luan River. It weaves the unique customs of 26 ethnic groups into the ancient Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, and integrates the thousand-year-old northern culture into this dream paradise.
The 2,000-acre prosperous ancient city has lovingly built a delicate northern ancient street expo area, a rich traditional folk tourism area, an original Luanhe cultural scenic area, an authentic northern food feast area, a long-standing northern cultural heritage area, a local religious and cultural pilgrimage area, a charming northern wedding experience area, and an authentic ancient Chinese health-preserving area, creating the most beautiful northern ancient city.
A 3,000-year-old ancient city that shines throughout the ages, Luanzhou Ancient City is becoming the most dazzling star in the Bohai Rim tourism circle.
"It's just a man-made antique street with shops on both sides. It's too commercialized and not as good as expected. There is a very, very small river in the middle of the ancient city. The water is quite clear and you can take a boat. It feels a bit like Houhai. There are many barbecues on both sides of the river, and there are resident singers. Although the singing is not very good, the barbecue is OK and the price is not expensive. It's not bad to drink a little wine and eat skewers. There are performances in the ancient city from time to time. We didn't catch it. There are also some small bars nearby where you can stay for a while. We also found a karaoke bar that returned to the 1980s. There is a hall and many booths. You can order songs and then sing on stage, which brings back all kinds of memories. There are many hotels and inns near the ancient city. The environment is not bad. The place we stayed in is called Qingfengwan Inn. The room is clean, but there are so many mosquitoes. They are so stupid that you can kill two with one hand. Finally, the network signal here is extremely poor! Extremely poor! It's intoxicating!!!
Luanzhou Ancient City is worth a visit.
Except for some old city walls and ancient buildings in the East Gate, all other parts and buildings in the ancient city are newly built antique buildings. There is no interest at all.
I went there on Saturday, November 18th. It was quite desolate. Many places were closed. The city gate tower, Guandi Temple, and Confucian Temple were all locked. Most of the shops were also closed. I especially recommend a dumpling restaurant near the North Gate. It was so comfortable to eat a plate of hot dumplings for 20 yuan in the middle of winter!
Located in Luanzhou Town, Luan County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. There are Guandi Temple, Zijin Pagoda, etc. Take bus No. 101 or No. 102 from Luan County Bus Station (opposite to the railway station) and get off at Xunluanfu Station to reach the south gate of the ancient city.
Luanzhou Ancient City is a place for us to rest during our self-driving tour. We didn't have high expectations at first, just to take a break before returning to Beijing. After arriving, we felt that everything exceeded our expectations. Although it is still under construction, the basic supporting facilities are quite complete. What is rare is that the ancient city has a water system, which makes it look very spiritual, but this place needs to be managed. Many facilities in the ancient city are very inconsistent, more like a temple fair, and lack a lot of local characteristics. If there are many literary and artistic shops in the ancient city, I believe it will be very good if it is well managed.
It is worth visiting the ancient city once, one day is enough, and it is best to visit it at night. This hotel is great and recommended.
Luanzhou, a small Jiangnan in the north for thousands of years
Luanze Tianxia City welcomes guests
Ancient Luanzhou, named after the Luan River, was first built in the second year of Tianzan, the reign of Emperor Taizu of Liao. If we look back to the "Eighteen Sacrifices to King Tang of Shang" in historical records, it has a history of more than 3,000 years. Eighteen emperors toured this place, and Emperor Qianlong said, "The scenery is hard to give up, and this Luanzhou will last through the ages", which made Luanzhou famous.
The rebuilt Luanzhou Ancient City, the first city in the east of Beijing, is "connected to the thousand-year-old Yanshan Mountain and Rushui River, and embraces the Han and Liao styles of the past dynasties." It is about 1,670 meters from east to west and about 900 meters from north to south, with a total area of 116 hectares and 89 hectares of antique buildings, creating a resort integrating entertainment, tourism, business and residence.
The phoenix soars and the dragon soars, and the learning flourishes
The Purple Gold Pagoda in the city is the highest point of the ancient city and the location of the dragon's lair; the Qinglong River, with a water system of more than 1,400 meters, surrounds the ancient city, which is the characteristic of the ancient city and the spiritual energy of ancient Luanzhou. The small bridges and flowing water in the north and the changing scenery of Jiangnan are a modern version of the Qingming Shanghe Tu.
In the Confucian Temple, teachers of Chinese studies regularly carry out popularization and dissemination of Chinese studies culture in the Sixty Jiazi Hall, promote Confucian culture, and expand the influence of Chinese studies; in the Guandi Temple, Guan Yu, the Emperor of War, is revered as the Martial Saint, with loyalty as fierce as the sun and the moon, and righteousness that penetrates the universe, with a red face and a red heart, and a long beard and an even longer righteousness.
The scenery reappears and the music prays for blessings
Taking "Xunluan Street" as the central axis, from east to west along the historical process, with representative historical periods, Yingbin Square, Chongxian Square, Wenji Tower, Shaoyin Square, Heyuan, Theater Square, and Ximen Square, it shows the integration and prosperity of ethnic groups.
The Khitan welcoming banquet performed at the Yanzhiyun Theater allows you to enjoy the simplicity, unrestrainedness and hospitality of the Khitan people; the "Khitan Fire Sacrifice and Blessing Ceremony" at Shaoyin Square allows you to deeply experience the mysterious ancient culture of the blessing ceremony and feel the collision of souls in person.
It's very ordinary, no special features, not recommended
Don't be fooled by the comments and beautiful photos. This ancient city is just a restaurant and a concentration of shops. It is not ancient, but built later. The small bridges and flowing water are like the bottom of a swimming pool. The whole ancient city sells clothes and restaurants. There is nothing to play and see. The clothes are very expensive and have no characteristics. The ancient city does not require tickets. You can drive into it. There are parking fee signs in front of the shops. Luanzhou Ancient City wants to build a style of small bridges and flowing water in Jiangnan, but it lacks folk culture and regional characteristics. I heard about it a long time ago and took a look on the way to Beidaihe. Remember not to come here on purpose, you will be very disappointed. After getting off the highway and entering Luan County, there are large trucks along the way, dust flying, serious traffic jams, and extremely poor road conditions. There is really nothing to play, see, or visit here, and it's a waste of highway fees. The commercialization here is too strong. I only got off the car and looked for more than 10 minutes and left. I will never come again. The name is loud and nice, but it's too bad. Some comments say it's good and there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe they haven't seen the ancient city of Jiangnan. The photo is so impressive, it really proves the saying: Hearing is worse than seeing.
Luanzhou Ancient City is very lively. About three years ago, I came here with my friends. At that time, it felt very desolate and there were not many people. It was completely different from the current scene. Many people said that Luanzhou Ancient City was fake and not a real ancient thing. However, it is very pleasant here, suitable for slowing down and strolling leisurely.
There are many people staying in the ancient city, and there are many cars parked in front of many inns. There are also places where you can rent bicycles for sightseeing, but the ancient city is not very big, so most people choose to walk.
In the evening, the restaurants on both sides of the river have set up tables, chairs and tableware, waiting for guests to come in the evening. There is a boat next to the tower that can tour the ancient city at night. The ancient city is still bustling until the evening, when it gets dark. I think the ancient city is more beautiful at night. There are really few people in the ancient city in the morning. Compared with the bustle at night, it is really quiet.
The night view is beautiful, the night market is very popular, and the characteristic inn is very unique, very suitable for a short stay
The scenery of Luanxian Ancient Town is so good. I was so excited to see how good this ancient town is, which is as famous as Gubei Water Town but does not charge such expensive tickets. I hurriedly bought a train ticket from Beidaihe for less than ten yuan (or more than ten yuan?), and set off without checking the travel guide or reading the travel notes. In the end, I was very disappointed, because this place was so different from what I imagined. It didn't even look like an ancient town, but a commercial district under development. The bustling city gate was blocked by various means of transportation, vendors, and various construction facilities. Walking inside, you can see that the management of the ancient city is actually a bit messy. It is difficult to feel the nostalgia or quaint atmosphere of the ancient town just behind the city gate. The public bicycles are parked in a mess, and there are vendors selling all kinds of food everywhere on the roadside. A row of antique buildings sell things from all over the country, and going down is the Burmese Jade and Jewelry Street. It takes less than three hours to walk through the whole ancient city. It is difficult to find a place to take photos that makes people feel satisfied, because many scenic spots or places that seem good at first glance often have randomly discarded garbage or eye-catching modern facilities in the corners. Whether it is the sunshades used by barbecue restaurants on the riverside of the ancient town to let tourists who eat barbecue cool off but cover the entire river bank, or the black-sailed boats on the river that allow people to sit around the city and feel the ancient atmosphere, they are matched with blue iron sheets, which makes them look a bit funny. In addition, all the merchants play various kinds of songs that are popular on the street, and the noisy sounds fill the road. Coupled with the crowded crowd, I originally planned to take a good walk and just wanted to end the tour of this ancient town as soon as possible, so I just hurriedly walked around the ancient town and left. But in general, despite these shortcomings, many places in Luanxian Ancient City can still give people surprises. It is also precious to have such a gentle and delicate small water town in the north. I hope that the management will get better and better in the future, at least pay more attention to the details of environmental sanitation and order management, and overall matching.
It's OK. The night view is beautiful at night. The highlight is the boat ride. There are many people eating and barbecue.
Free reference time 2 hours
Luanzhou Ancient City is still some distance from Tangshan City. You can park for free at Luanhe Square, and the parking lot is large. You can drive into the ancient city, but parking is charged. The land is small.
The whole ancient city has no highlights, so try the legendary Hao's sesame cakes
The overall feeling is dirty, messy and smelly. I went there during the May Day holiday. There were quite a lot of tourists. After entering the scenic area, it was full of strong commercial atmosphere. The square outside the city gate of Luanzhou Ancient City was holding a food festival. The environment was simply terrible. After entering, the smell of stinky tofu was overwhelming, making people want to escape. The living conditions inside and outside the scenic area were very poor. There was a garbage dump full of garbage in the parking lot outside the scenic area. Tourists in the scenic area threw garbage everywhere, and no one took care of it. There were even people diving and swimming in the river. Although it was an ancient city built later on the original site, it has lost the flavor of small bridges, flowing water and people's homes that an ancient city should have. It would be ok if the sanitary environment was improved.
Luanzhou Ancient City is located in Luanzhou Town, Luan County, Tangshan City. It is about 60 kilometers away from Tangshan City and about 100 kilometers away from Qinhuangdao City. It is a famous ancient city scenic spot in North China. Today's Luanzhou Ancient City is rebuilt on the original site. It is antique and elegant, and it is a good place to take pictures and view the scenery. There are many shops and activities in the ancient city, which is very lively. Visitors can stroll through the ancient streets, visit specialty shops, taste food, watch performances, and have rich entertainment content. The entire area of Luanzhou Ancient City is not large. From the east gate at the entrance to the large archway on the westernmost side, it is about 1 kilometer long and several hundred meters wide. After arriving at the ancient city, you can walk around, which takes about half a day. You can walk around the waterway in the city-Qinglong River to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ancient city. There are battery cars in the ancient city for transportation. The battery cars are privately operated, and the price needs to be asked in advance. You can also take a boat tour. The boarding point is at the Zijin Pagoda next to the east gate of the ancient city. The boat ticket is about 30 yuan per person. When you come to Luanzhou Ancient City for a visit, the first thing you should do is to appreciate the beautiful ancient buildings in the ancient city. When the ancient city was rebuilt, the buildings were all in the form of ancient dwellings in the north. There are also waterways connecting the ancient city, and the scenery is elegant. It is very suitable to stroll and take pictures in the ancient city. The majestic East Gate at the main entrance of the ancient city, the unique courtyard Guandi Temple, the towering landmark Zijin Pagoda, and the highest-standard "Yizhi Hometown" archway are all popular places for tourists to take pictures. In addition to appreciating the buildings, roaming around the small shops in the ancient city is also one of the pleasures of tourists.
I went there during the New Year's Day holiday in 2016. Since it was the off-season, there were not many people in the scenic area. The ancient city is full of man-made landscapes, and the stay was quite comfortable.
It feels pretty good, but it needs to add local characteristics.
Ancient style, small bridges and flowing water! Beautiful.
Maybe it's because it's after the holidays, there are not many people, and many shops are closed. It's basically all shops. People are shooting guns, throwing darts, and playing hoops all over the street. The public toilets are super disgusting... I took a picture that doesn't quite show the bad environment
There are few toilets in the scenic area and the toilets are not clean. There is no local characteristics. Merchants and stalls have goods and snacks from all over the country. The commercial atmosphere is too strong. Personally, I feel that it is not as well managed as Gubei Water Town.
Luanzhou is under the jurisdiction of Tangshan and is very close to Beijing. Luanzhou has a long history and is now an ancient city. Although it looks like the past, it has a lot of traces of human activities. The folk customs are unique and the sanitary conditions are very good.
The ancient city was rebuilt on the original site. The entire ancient city is very convenient for food and accommodation. It is close to the Luan River and not far from Yanshan Mountain where you can go hiking and skiing in winter.
Luanzhou Ancient City is very new and lacks some charm, but it can be seen that the local government has put a lot of effort into it. It is clean and tidy overall, but it has a strong commercial atmosphere. There are a few beautiful homestays. I will try them out when I have the chance.
It's not as good as I imagined. I can only say that I've been there and don't want to go there again.
It's a small place with handicrafts. The boat ride is a sight to behold. 40 is too expensive.
The newly built ancient city, and I went there again this year. The scenic area is getting more and more complete. It's really good. The river around the city is very beautiful, and every stone bridge is very impressive.
Arriving at the ancient city at night, I found that the place was really small, like the copycat version of Lijiang Ancient City described by many travellers, and it was very commercial. The snack streets were on both sides of the river, and they were all seafood barbecues, without any local characteristics. After dinner, I took a boat for about 20 minutes. The inn where I stayed at night was not bad and clean! The next day's breakfast was the only local specialty called Hao Honglai sesame cake, which was quite crispy. Finally, I give a suggestion that one day is enough to visit everything!
The place is not big, renting a bicycle for two hours is enough!
In general, it is not recommended to go there, because there are too many scammers, the food is not very clean, and the Luanzhou Ancient City gives people the feeling of a modern man-made building. Also, don't play gambling games there, you will be fooled!
The ancient city of Luanzhou, known as the Little Jiangnan of the North, is not worthy of its reputation by most tourists because it is too commercialized. In fact, like many ancient cities, it was built for commercial purposes. There are no ancient monuments in the ancient city of Luanzhou, but the water system built in the style of ancient times still has some Jiangnan feeling. As for whether the scenery is beautiful or not, it all depends on one's mood. At least I think people who have not been to Jiangnan can go and have a look.
Luanzhou Ancient City is located in Luanzhou Town, Luan County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. It is a major city of humanistic revival in the north, with northern architectural style from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is said that the total investment is 5.2 billion to build a national 5A-level scenic spot. The commercial atmosphere is very strong.
The scenery of the ancient city is not outstanding, but the night view is pretty good. I recommend watching the Tangshan dialect shadow play, which I think is the biggest highlight. It is very interesting and worth watching. There are classic songs such as "Three Beats of the White Bone Demon" and "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger".
Ancient towns are still better than Jiangnan water towns. I have been to Wuzhen, Xitang, and Qinhuai River. Every place has a business model. The ancient charm is combined with the modern. The night view is the most beautiful.
The antique buildings are similar to the Gubei Water Town in Beijing, but the publicity is not as good as that of Gubei Water Town. There are barbecue restaurants on both sides of the river, and the dining prices are relatively affordable, without the high prices of scenic spots.
Many people go there on weekends. The ancient city is newly built and the facilities are relatively new and clean.
It is very close to Beijing, and it is very convenient to take the train. It is a good place to experience the water town in the north. Although it cannot be compared with the water town in the south, it is also a good place to relax.
I read everyone's comments on China-TravelNote before. To be honest, I didn't have too high expectations for this place. But after arriving here, I felt good. There is a rectangular river in the ancient city. There is a food street on the south side of the river. There are not too many people on the food street in broad daylight, but you can see all kinds of signs left after the noise. There is a tower on the east side of the river. Going east is a square. I don't know if it should be a bell tower or a drum tower in the middle. There are Confucian Temple and Guandi Temple on the north and south sides. There is also a Xiao Empress Temple next to the Confucian Temple. I think this should be a feature of Luanzhou, but it is not well built. Going east and walking through a row of shops, you will reach the gate of Luanzhou Ancient City. The city gate is still very impressive, but it is said that it is currently under maintenance and cannot be climbed. We walked around the river in the city and felt that the riverside in the north was quiet and had more ancient city charm, while the south was more for entertainment. There are boats in the river that can go around the river for 40 per person, but we didn't take them. It feels like the ancient city is still under construction. For example, a building is still being built on the north side of the road leading to the city gate, and there is a tourist attraction called Khitan Camp in the north of the city that has not yet opened and is under repair.
I went there for three days during the May Day holiday. Luanzhou Ancient City is located in Luan County, Tangshan City. It is an artificial ancient city. Although it was May Day, there were not many people. You can take a cruise in the city to enjoy the night view. At night, the riverside was full of tourists eating skewers. The first night I arrived there was April 29th, and the short holiday had not started yet, so there were very few people. I guess there wouldn't be too many people on weekdays. To be honest, the shops in the ancient city are not very distinctive. It's good to relax without rushing to the attractions. Not far from the ancient city, you can climb Yanshan at night. There is a tower whose name I forgot. The lights are very beautiful at night. You can also go to Dajue Temple. The consumption level here is relatively low, and the expenses are not too large. Friends from Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei Province who are close to it are still good to drive here during the short holiday!
Among the Jiangnan-style ancient cities in the north, this one is considered to have a relatively large scale and better scenery. If you have not been to Lijiang Ancient City or Jiangnan Ancient Town, it is still worth a visit.
Luanzhou Ancient City, located in Luan County, Tangshan, Hebei, has antique-style buildings. It can be regarded as a prosperous ancient city on the banks of a three-thousand-year-old river. In the ancient city, there are small bridges and flowing water, blue bricks and gray tiles. The Qinglong River, a circular water system, is used as the national cultural axis to show the diversity of the "river" culture. Although it is not as beautiful as the south of the Yangtze River, it is not as irritating as the north. Walking in the ancient city, the sun is warm and the spring breeze is blowing. The night view of the ancient city is quite good, and the commercial atmosphere is relatively strong. In summer, it is the best choice to choose to eat skewers on both sides of the river. Outside the east city wall is the Luanhe Mother Square, a good place to relax and cool off at night. The transportation is very convenient. You can choose to take a train from Beijing, which takes two hours to arrive, and the bus stops outside the city wall. I will go there again if I have a chance. Recommended!
We got off at Luanxian Railway Station. As soon as we exited the station, someone solicited passengers. There were clearly taxis available, but it was not recommended to take illegal taxis. When we arrived at the gate of the ancient city, four of us went to a snack bar for breakfast. It only cost 39 yuan for an all-you-can-eat buffet. The noodles were served in small bowls. We went there in the off-season, so there were basically no tourists and no businesses were open. We rowed a boat for 40 yuan per person, went around the ancient city, and then went to a milk tea shop to have a hot drink and rest. The ancient city lacked a bit of atmosphere because there were few people. It is better to go there in the evening or during a short holiday.
We went here on a trip, probably on May Day, there were a lot of people, a bit of Jiangnan style, good environment, usually there are performances at night, you can watch. The food is special is barbecue, it is recommended to eat on both sides of the river, one of the barbecues called Xiaoshixiao is almost full, there is no place, but if you have time, you can try it, you must be in the position on the river bank. It is a good choice to visit here at night.
The commercial atmosphere is serious. It is a modern imitation ancient village like Gubei Water Town, but the scenery and overall planning are far different from Gubei Water Town. The town is full of small commodity stores, and most of the restaurants are barbecue, stir-fry and grilled skewers. There is no ancient town atmosphere.
The night view is OK, but there is really nothing to do in the ancient city. It is recommended to play for half a day.
The overall building is good and will be further developed in the future. Many courtyard houses are for sale, but there are not many special snacks, only barbecue and so on.
Although it is not as good as the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, it is rare to see such an ancient city in the north. It does not have the vicissitudes of history, but it also has its own charm.
We went there in winter, but I personally feel that it is better to go there in spring when the flowers are blooming! Although it is different from Jiangnan Xiaodiao, it feels good to go there for a weekend! The boss is very enthusiastic and can't help but recommend it to everyone: Taoyuan Inn in the scenic area. The boss is very good and enthusiastic. Not only did he give us a discount, he also picked us up at the station! 0315-7598858
The location is good, but unfortunately it is not yet fully developed. There are many shops that are well decorated but not popular. In fact, the overall scenery is still very beautiful.
Luanhe Ancient Town is located in Mobile, Luanzhou City, on the banks of the Luanhe River. It is a completely man-made building that imitates the ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties and combines them with the style of the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a rare tourist area in the north, where you can relax and have a rest, and enjoy special meals. It is a special place.
