Handan, the ancient capital of the Zhao state, is the birthplace of Qin Shi Huang and a city rich in idiomatic expressions

Handan is the only historical and cultural city in China that has never changed its name or location since ancient times, boasting a history of over three thousand years. During the Warring States period, it was the capital of the Zhao state. It is also the birthplace of Qin Shi Huang and is known as the 'city of idiomatic expressions.' It is said that there are thousands of idioms related to Handan, with well-known ones including 'learning to walk in Handan,' 'wearing Hu's clothing and shooting on horseback,' and 'returning the jade intact to Zhao.' Visiting Handan, one can go to Congtai Park in the city to see the Wuling Congtai from the time of King Wuling of Zhao, or to Zhao Yuan Park to tour the Idiom Garden and experience the charm of traditional culture. Walk across the Learning-to-Walk Bridge and try to imitate the graceful walking posture of the people of Zhao, but remember not to forget how to walk when you return! After exploring history, don't forget to visit the modern Meile City. Since Teresa Teng's ancestral home is in Daming County, Handan, there is a Teresa Teng Garden on the rooftop terrace here, which is themed around Teresa Teng's life story and musical art. From the rooftop, you can also overlook the Handan city area, with the Handan Grand Theater in full view!
