Come to Shangqiu Ancient City and start your own time-travel journey.

👀 Guys, today I must tell you about Shangqiu Ancient City 😜! 📍 Shangqiu Ancient City is located in Suiyang District, Shangqiu City, Henan Province. It is a cultural city with a history of nearly 5,000 years! When you step into the ancient city, it feels like you have traveled through time and space, and the charm of history is overwhelming. 🏯 The architectural style of the ancient city is unique. It is the only large-scale ancient city site in the world that integrates the Bagua City, the Water City, and the City on City. The outer circle and inner square layout is like an ancient copper coin, symbolizing the round sky and square earth. The city wall is tall and majestic, with a circumference of 4.35 km, a width of 10 m, a top width of 6.66 m, and a height of 6.66 m. The city gates are arch-shaped, with the east gate called Binyang, the west gate called Dieze, the south gate called Gongyang, and the north gate called Gongchen. All four gates have barbicans, and the design of the twisted city gates is unique, forming a unique landscape of "four gates and eight openings." 🌟 The streets in the city are laid out like a chessboard, with 93 streets crisscrossing in an orderly manner. The courtyard houses are lined up in rows, exuding an ancient charm and showcasing the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking on the streets, the winding bluestone roads seem to tell stories of the past. 🎈 The cultural atmosphere here is also very strong. The city has a well-preserved Guidefu Confucian Temple, witnessing the prosperity of the imperial examination era. Once, Fan Zhongyan studied here, and his thought of "worrying before the world worries, and enjoying after the world enjoys" also added a heavy cultural heritage to this ancient city. 🍜 Speaking of Shangqiu Ancient City, how can we not mention the food 😋? The pickled fish is delicious, with tender and juicy fish meat. Although the name is not very appealing, everyone who has tasted it praises it. There is also the bangbang chicken, which is almost all meat, and one bite fills you with happiness. After a tiring walk, have a skewer of candied haws, and the sweet and sour taste is unforgettable. 🌳 The city lake surrounds the ancient city, with clear water reflecting the ancient city, creating a beautiful scene. The weeping willows by the lake sway in the wind, as if welcoming every visitor. Take a boat ride on the lake, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ancient city, and feel the gentle breeze on your face, which is a unique experience. 💕 Shangqiu Ancient City is not only a historical monument but also a cultural treasure. Whether you are interested in history and culture or a traveler who loves food and scenery, this is an excellent choice. Come to Shangqiu Ancient City and start your own time-travel journey.
