    Gardens
    Highlights: Jiuzhouchi Ruins Park covers an area of 288 mu, including three parts: the Daineidian area in the northwest of Miyagi, the part of Taoguang Garden in the north of Miyagi, and the Jiuzhouchi Royal Garden in the west of Miyagi in the middle and north of the city. There are 12 ruins in total. A variety of scientific means for protective display. We hope that through means and forms such as the original site display of ancient ruins and ground simulation, more people can learn about the style and appearance of the imperial gardens in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As the Imperial Palace of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jiuzhou Pool actually existed in history. According to the records of "Tang Liang Jingchengfang Kao", "Jiuzhou Pool, its pool is curved, and there are several islands in the pool, like Jiuzhou in the East China Sea, with an area of ten hectares, water depth of more than ten feet, birds and fish swimming, and flowers planting." In 1960, archaeologists discovered it while excavating Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Gongcheng District of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was composed of the central core area and many small cities around it. Jiuzhou Pool is located in the north-central part of Xige City on the west side of Miyagi Ouchi, accounting for about two-fifths of Xige City. The scope of "ten hectares of residence" in the records is based on the land-duty system of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, one foot was about 29.5 centimeters, and ten hectares was about 520,000 square meters, which was larger than the entire Xige City. However, the actual archaeological measurement of the water area of Jiuzhou Pool is about 139,250 square meters. Chinese classical garden art occupies a pivotal position in Chinese traditional architecture. The forms of Chinese landscape gardens, represented by literati gardens and royal gardens, are all aimed at pursuing the spiritual realm of nature, so as to achieve the aesthetic pursuit of "although made by man, it is like nature", and embody the cultural concept of "the unity of man and nature". This is completely consistent with the overall architectural concept of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As a royal garden, Jiuzhou Pool not only embodies the combination of nature and humanities, but also the concept of harmony and unity between man and nature, as well as the "ritual system" in traditional Chinese culture.

    "The night view is the best. Remember to close the south gate at 9 pm. First go to the city building to overlook the Tongtian Tower and the square. Then go down to punch in and take pictures of the Tongtian Tower. It is an indoor building. You don’t have to play at night. You can take a distant view on the Tianmen. The lighting effect is very good."

    Highlights: Yingtianmen is the south gate of Luoyang City Palace City in Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was built in the first year of Daye in Sui Dynasty, that is, in AD 605. It has gone through four periods of Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty successively. The Jinbing was burnt and used for 523 years. Yingtianmen was an important place for holding major state celebrations and diplomatic activities at that time. If Yuanzheng, Winter Solstice, Chenle, banquets, pardoning sins, removing the old and clothing the new, when the tributary messengers of all countries, the guests of the four barbarians and other important celebrations, the emperors all came to listen to the government. Similar to the current Beijing Meridian Gate. This city gate has witnessed the prosperity of the dynasty when Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty entered the Eastern Capital, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty released King Fuyu of Baekje, the queen ascended the throne and became emperor, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang received the eighth envoy from Japan to the Tang Dynasty. Every Shangyuan Festival, Yingtianmen Square will also hold a grand Baixi performance. When it is grand, the performance team will stretch from here to the main south gate of Guocheng, which is 4 kilometers away. Yingtianmen has different names in different periods: it was built in the early Sui Dynasty, according to the "Analects of Confucius", "Only the sky is the greatest, only Yao is the rule", taking the meaning of "taking the sky as the rule", so it is called "Zetianmen"; the first year of Tang Shenlong 705 During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian of Tang Dynasty, after avoiding Wu, he was honored as "The Great Sage Emperor Zetian" and renamed Yingtianmen. During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, this building was renamed Wufeng Building, and Wufeng Building was used until the Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jinbing invaded the Central Plains, Luoyang became a battlefield and was severely damaged. Jinbing burned down the building. The city of Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was prosperous for more than 530 years, gradually faded out of people's sight. Yingtianmen is one of the buildings that can show identity and status in the Chinese etiquette system. "Yuan·Henan Chronicle" records: the main gate of the palace city is called Zetianmen, the gate has two views, the upper one is called Ziwei microscopic, the left and right are connected with the ques, and the ques are 120 feet high. Calculated at 29.4 centimeters per foot in the Tang Dynasty, equivalent to about 36 meters today, this magnificent tower is almost twelve or three stories high today. The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once looked south on Yingtianmen and wrote a poem: "Longmen Cui Dai Mei is opposite, Yishui Golden Line is a line". From Yingtianmen, you can see Longmen Yique, which is 15 kilometers away, showing the majesty of Yingtianmen.
