They are arranged in a "pin" shape, covering a total area of approx. 5.05 million square meters. The site is surrounded by winding, undulating rammed-earth walls with a remaining height of approx. 3–8 m. Inside, there are well-organized and scattered building foundations, with over a dozen large underground rammed-earth foundations and several remains of city gate towers around the perimeter. The West City is relatively well-preserved and nearly square. There are five large earthen platforms remaining on the site, with a taller one, the "Zhao Handan Ancient City - Longtai Platform", located in the south-central part, which served as the main building foundation of the palace at that time. To the north of this, there are two more large rammed-earth platforms, forming a north-south central axis. On both sides of the central axis, there are 6 remaining surface rammed-earth platforms and underground rammed-earth building foundations. This is a magnificent complex of palace buildings centered around the "Zhao Handan Ancient City - Longtai Platform". The East and West cities are separated by only one wall. Inside the city, there are two large earthen platforms, which legend says are the "Nanjiangtai" and "Beijiangtai" where the King of Zhao reviewed his troops. There are underground rammed-earth foundations between the two platforms and to their north and south. This is the north-south central axis building complex of theZhaowangcheng Site - East Citywith the general platforms as its main feature. The North City is nearly square, but its shape is not very regular. Except for some remaining wall sections on the ground in the southern part of the west wall, the rest only have underground wall foundations. The earthen platform in the western part of the North City site is second in size only to the "Zhao Handan Ancient City - Longtai Platform", and is also the foundation of a palace building complex.Handan · 24.4 km from Wu'an
Song Du Huangcheng Cultural Tourism Resort
Song Du Huangcheng Cultural Tourism Resort is located in the northern part of the old city of Kaifeng, precisely on the site of the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty's Dongjing city. The millennium-old central axis of Kaifeng runs through this area, making it the core zone of the royal culture of the Song Dynasty. Here, you can find the Song-style imperial architecture of the Longting attraction, the tales of the Yang Family Generals at Tianbo Yang's residence, and the calligraphic steles of Han Yuan Stele Forest. The Shuanglong Lane historical and cultural block, 960 Cultural and Creative Park, and Qisheng Corner have transformed old streets and courtyards into Song-style blocks perfect for leisurely exploration. The resort also connects a series of Song culture attractions: Wansui Mountain Great Song Martial Arts City stages year-round martial arts live shows and intangible cultural heritage iron fireworks, while historic sites like the Iron Pagoda, Kaifeng city wall, Zhouqiao and Bian River ruins, Shanshangan Guild Hall, Yanqing Taoist Temple, and Fan Pagoda are scattered across the old city, along with niche spots like the underground wartime grain storage. These places are hard to cover in one day, so we recommend focusing on two or three key sites. After dark, a different experience awaits as the attractions light up in unison. Boarding a painted pleasure boat on the Great Song Imperial River to watch the illuminated pavilions and towers sway with the rippling water is a popular nightlife option here.China · Kaifeng

Highly recommended for a visit!
The building's exterior is very eye-catching, and the evening lighting makes for stunning photos.
The Handan Museum is one of the most interesting museums I've ever been to. It's a comprehensive museum that integrates sightseeing, entertainment, and more.
Each floor has a souvenir shop with a wide variety of goods. There are also exploration areas for children and students. A coffee shop is also available.
Conveniently located; both driving and public transportation are available.

On a spring morning, I stepped into Congtai Park in Handan. Climbing the stone steps to Wuling Congtai, the green bricks and gray tiles gleamed softly in the warm sun, and the statue of King Wuling of Zhao, dressed in nomadic attire and riding an cavalry, seemed to still be fluttering in the wind. Turning around and looking down, the lake was like a mirror, and the hexagonal eaves of Wangzhu Pavilion peeked out from the water like an ancient green seal. I passed through the Temple of the Seven Sages, where, nestled among pines and cypresses, the statues of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru stood silently facing each other, evoking the noble sentiment of "bearing thorns to apologize." Willow branches swayed gently by the lake, and the fragrance of lotus blossoms wafted through the air. Elderly people practiced Tai Chi, and children fed koi fish; history and daily life clasped hands here. Climbing to the ruins of the ancient city wall, the buildings of Handan and the distant mountains came into view, and time and space seemed to overlap. Before leaving the park, the setting sun gilded Congtai with a layer of gold. I looked back, and the sound of war drums seemed to echo in my ears, my heart filled with a thousand-year-old heroic spirit.

The hometown of Tai Chi has well-preserved ancient city walls and many performance programs, but it is still quite commercialized. During the National Day holiday, there are a lot of tourists, especially at night, which causes serious traffic jams.

In addition to visiting those famous attractions in Handan, you still have to check in at the Xuebu Bridge. After all, we learned an idiom when we were young called "Learning to walk in Handan". The origin of the Xuebu Bridge, although the bridge is no longer ancient, it is worth checking in.

A Hidden Gem for True History Nerd.For travelers who seek the roots of civilization, Zhaowangcheng in Handan is a must-visit and one of China's most underrated historical sites.This was the capital of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period. These ruins are contemporary with the Terracotta Army—over 2,300 years old. While everyone knows the silent soldiers, few know the grand capital city that was a powerhouse of innovation and culture.Walking through the archaeological park, you see the excavated foundations of palaces and city walls. It requires some imagination, but the on-site museum helps you visualize the grandeur.Don't come expecting a polished restoration. Come for the profound sense of history and the quiet atmosphere. For anyone with a passion for deep history, Zhaowangcheng isn't just a site; it's a pilgrimage.

It's very worthwhile, but it's also very crowded, which might slightly detract from the overall experience. However, the people are incredibly welcoming, and there are many beautiful spots for taking photos. The food is also affordable and inexpensive, which kids enjoy. I'll definitely go back when it's less crowded.

There was a slight unpleasantness with the merchant's customer service when making the reservation, as I had booked a guided tour of the Longmen Grottoes, but the merchant's page description was incorrect and I requested a refund, which they refused. I only got a refund after contacting the platform's customer service. Because of this unpleasant experience, I didn't have high expectations for the tour. However, once inside the museum, Mr. Pei's explanation was truly dedicated, and he was a very kind person; it was clear he genuinely loved the experience. Special praise! 👍 He made up for the merchant's shortcomings! 👍

Daming Lake holds the story of Emperor Qianlong and Xia Yuhe's "epic, tragic love" 😂 "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?"—When Emperor Qianlong toured the south, he encountered Xia Yuhe playing the zither in the Yuhe Hall, fell in love at first sight, wrote a poem and presented her with a fan, vowing that "a true friend is hard to find." However, after more than a decade apart, Yuhe fell ill with longing and died with her zither in her arms 😢 However, there is no historical record of this person; it's purely a romantic fiction by Qiong Yao. The lake shimmers, lotus flowers fill the pond, and the saying "lotuses on all four sides, willows on three" is truly fitting. The illuminated Chaoran Tower is even more breathtaking.

The tour guide was attentive and incredibly friendly, covering everything he needed to, and explaining things in considerable detail. With so many people during the National Day holiday, his experience helped us squeeze in every possible moment, and surprisingly, the trip wasn't crowded at all. The Yungang Buddha and the VR tour of Wutai Mountain were definitely worthwhile, and the Yanmen Pass Great Wall and Wang Family Courtyard were also very enjoyable. The driver was fantastic, incredibly experienced, and knew many shortcuts to Xiaoxitian, taking us directly to the scenic area entrance and saving us a lot of walking. The small group size meant it wasn't crowded, and the hotel arrangements were quite reasonable. The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, the Yanmen Sunset, and the Wang Family Brick Carvings were all breathtakingly beautiful. The local tour guide was completely transparent and honest. I highly recommend this Shanxi tour; if you want to see ancient architecture but are afraid of doing research, book this tour without hesitation.

A huge thank you to our guide today, Ms. Feng Ping. Her solid historical knowledge allowed her to vividly and clearly explain the historical stories behind the Shang and Zhou dynasties' ritual systems, diverse cultures, and the custom of "clinking cups and exchanging toasts." The entire three-hour tour was incredibly rich in content.
The overall logic was excellent. The opening provided a general overview of the museum, and the content flowed smoothly between the exhibition halls. Her pacing was superb, bringing the profound Central Plains civilization to life. I felt so fortunate to have met Ms. Feng Ping; she's a perfect museum guide in China!
