Taierzhuang ancient city, located in the center of Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is located at the junction of Taierzhuang District, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province and four provinces of Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan and Anhui. The ancient city began in Qin and Han Dynasties, developed in Tang and Song Dynasties and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is called "the first village in the world" (thanks to Gan Qing and Long Ci). ?
The ancient city of Taierzhuang is called "the living ancient canal" and "the only remaining heritage village of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal" by the World Tourism Organization. The ancient city of Taierzhuang has ancient rivers, ancient docks, China ancient water city, Taierzhuang War Memorial Hall and cross-strait exchange bases. It is the only city in the world that was rebuilt as a world cultural heritage due to the destruction of artillery in the Second World War, and it is as famous as Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
Taierzhuang is a unique ancient oriental water city. In the ancient city, the king canal is connected, and the water lanes are vertical and horizontal, and residents build platforms to live. It is a standard water city. On the old map, there are 18 Wang, nearly 100 water streets and lanes, and the density of water network exceeds that of Suzhou ancient city. Emperor Kangxi once praised Taierzhuang as "the scenery is like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River".
With the canal as the cultural axis, the framework of the scenic ancient city has designed eight scenic spots, including Guandi Temple Scenic Spot, Ximen An Lan Scenic Spot, Xianfu Village Scenic Spot, Canal Market Scenic Spot, Banqiao-Huamenlou Scenic Spot, Shuijie Commercial Market Scenic Spot, Mosque-Jiulongkou Scenic Spot and Wetland Park.
Corresponding to the eight scenic spots of the ancient Canal City, such as "Jiushui Huichuan, Taicheng Old Record, Tucun Green Shade, Wang Miao Fuyu, Lu 'an Wohong, Cooper Wangyue, Canal Market and Jaeger Ling Bo", 29 scenic spots, including the General Staff Department, Taishan Palace and Lanling Academy, have been planned and constructed. It organically combines the eight architectural styles of northern quadrangles, southern Shandong dwellings, Huizhou architecture, water town architecture, southern Fujian architecture, European architecture, religious architecture and Hakka architecture.
We will build a bustling street dominated by Huizhou architecture, a T-street dominated by European architecture, a water street and a water lane dominated by water towns, and a Guandi Temple scenic spot dominated by Shanxi merchants' houses.
