Handan Congtai Park is located in Congtai District, Handan City. It is a park built on the basis of the famous Zhaoguo Congtai in history. It is also a good place for local citizens in Handan to relax and entertain. There are ancient buildings, lakes, pavilions and trees in the park, the environment is beautiful, and the photos are also very good. Congtai in the park was rebuilt on the original site during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Congtai is very famous in history. Congtai was the place where the king watched song and dance performances and military drills, and it was here that King Wuling of Zhao's "Hufu riding and shooting" took place. Today's Congtai is three-storey high. When you climb up to the Congtai, you can see the buildings in the urban area, Zhaoyuan and Taihang Mountain in the distance. The view is very wide. In addition to taking pictures in the park, climbing ancient buildings, etc., there is also a small animal area in the park, where there are giant pandas, tigers and other animals to watch, which is suitable for bringing children there.

The creation of humans by Nüwa took place nearby, a landmark of Handan for 3000 years

Ticket🎫 Wuling Congtai and the Seven Sages Stele Forest joint ticket 5 yuan 👍Highly recommended: The park is quite large, it is recommended to visit for two hours Congtai: A place where King Wuling of Zhao during the Warring States period summoned his generals and watched performances, with a history of over two thousand years. It has survived countless floods, wars, and has been repaired through the ages. In modern times, it has undergone several major restorations. The Seven Sages Temple: Built in honor of the seven sages of the State of Zhao during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, namely Han Jue, Cheng Ying, Gongsun Chujiu, Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Zhao She, and Li Mu, hence the name Seven Sages Temple. The temple is a brick-wood structure with a rolling shed and resting hill style. It is five bays wide and one bay deep. The courtyard is paved with blue brick paths, and there is a side door to the west that leads to the stele forest. The roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles in the resting hill style, and there are four red round columns under the corridor, with the front face being wooden carved arch windows. On the east and west sides of the wall are the well-known deeds of the seven sages, such as Zhao She's 'impartial law enforcement', Lian Po and Lin Xiangru's 'returning the jade to Zhao', 'asking for punishment with a thorn bush', 'harmony between generals', and the three loyal acts of Han Jue, Cheng Ying, and Gongsun Chujiu sacrificing themselves to save 'the orphan of Zhao'. The stele forest corridor to the west of the Seven Sages Temple is called 'Handan Stele Forest'. Inside the corridor, there are dozens of steles inscribed by calligraphers from various dynasties, with high artistic value. China's largest Tang dynasty epitaph, 'The Epitaph of He Hongjing', is also stored here. The epitaph is engraved with the four gods Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu on the front, accompanied by auspicious cloud patterns, creating an imposing atmosphere. This epitaph has survived thousands of years and is still well preserved, truly a national treasure. 🌟Highlights: In China, there is an ancient city that has created miracles. It has not changed its name for over 3000 years. Legend has it that Nüwa mended the sky and created humans here. Its history is even older than that of Nanjing, yet it is often forgotten by the world. It was once the number one city in the north, the capital of the Zhao state, one of the seven warring states, known as a city rich enough to rival any in the world. Countless people have left their mark here with their writings. In this city, every step is history, with more than half of China's idioms originating from here, recognized as the hometown of idioms. But after 3000 years, it has been submerged for a long time, becoming an inconspicuous little city. Have you guessed where I am talking about? Yes, it is my hometown, Handan in Hebei. Today, I will introduce you to this ancient city that cannot be bypassed in history with a note, not just to understand a city, but to revisit a profound history. You can like and save this, because I believe, in your lifetime, you will have the opportunity to step into this ancient city. Walking in Handan, you will feel an indelible sense of historical vicissitudes. Today's landmark of Handan, Congtai Park, was built more than 2300 years ago during the Zhao state, and Handan, as the ancient capital of Zhao, one of the seven warring states, became the most powerful state in the north after King Wuling of Zhao adopted the military reforms of wearing Hu clothing and archery on horseback. I remember when I was in elementary school, I would go to Congtai Park almost every day.
