Shandong is a famous tourist province in the north, which is famous all over the world because of the "Seventy-two Springs" in Quancheng. There are also many famous mountain scenic spots, such as Mount Tai, Laoshan Mountain and Chengtou Mountain. There is also a tourist resource that people ignore in Shandong, that is, historical and humanistic resources, especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is the central area where Qi is located and the hometown of Confucius, and there are many allusions about Qilu culture and Confucian culture in the territory.

I'm going to introduce a scenic spot in Shandong that is built by combining history. It's called the ancient Chinese water city. My understanding is that this ancient water city surrounded by water is a "true and false ancient city", which includes both real historical ancient buildings and a large number of antique buildings, forming an ancient city scenic spot that combines truth and falsehood. The ancient water city of China is located in Dongchangfu District, Liaocheng City. The ancient city is located in the middle of dongchang lake, which is a veritable ancient water city.

This ancient city actually existed in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, the scale was about 1 million square meters, showing a regular square shape. It was divided into four gates, east and west, and each gate had a water gate and a suspension bridge. Only through the suspension bridge can it enter the city, and it can be regarded as a military fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the water area is the best defense system of this ancient city. However, a long time has caused great damage to the ancient city on the water, and it can only be opened after reconstruction.

the Liaocheng municipal government decided to develop this precious historical resource, and spent 3.8 billion yuan to build a "true and false ancient city" that basically restored the original appearance of the ancient city, including preservation, restoration, reconstruction and imitation, but the integrity of the scenic spot is still very strong. Of the 3.8 billion, 2 billion were obtained through financing, which shows that investors are optimistic about the future development of this ancient water city.

At present, the urban area of the ancient city is only 1 square kilometer, and it is surrounded by 6.3 square kilometers of water. The ancient city surrounded by water has to pass through a long bridge to connect the ancient city with the ground, forming a special landscape with both water and the city. It is very rare for an ancient city to be completely built in water and connected by a long bridge. In addition, it is a continuation of the creativity of the ancients, so the heat and buying point are relatively high.

The ancient city is divided into four areas horizontally and vertically, with two long streets as the main roads in the ancient city, and four plates of food street, commodity street, culture street and leisure street scattered around it. There are also many small houses with quadrangles and rocks, which can provide services of homestays and inns. The Guangyue Building has become a must-see ancient architectural attraction in the ancient city, mainly the architectural style of the attic in the Ming Dynasty, with magnificent production, and many historical celebrities have inscribed plaques in the building.
