Sunzi Culture Park 孙子文化园

About Sunzi Culture Park

Guangrao County planned and built the Sunzi Culture Tourism Area around the development of Sunwu Lake as a way of promoting Sunzi culture, and the tourism area is rated a national 4A scenic area as well as a national water conservancy scenic area. The park is its core zone and main display area, with a planned extent of 1,300 mu, conceived as a comprehensive leisure complex combining holiday, sightseeing, commerce, pilgrimage and popular-science functions. It is a contemporary creation rather than a historic site. The layout is described as one core and six zones: the Bingsheng Palace at the centre, with an ancient Chinese weapons hall, a children's amusement park, a western landscape belt, a siege-themed cinema, a Spring-and-Autumn style old town and a speed-ride zone themed on the 'thousand-li raid on Chu'.

The Bingsheng Palace has 34,048 square metres of floor area and four sections covering Sunzi culture, battle-formation drill, a retrospective of battles and ancient generals, with an eight-metre white marble sculpture at the centre of its hall. The western landscape belt strings together thirteen gardens and thirteen bridges, the bridges taking their names from chapters of the Art of War such as Marching, the Nine Variations, Manoeuvring, Weak Points and Strong, Energy, Disposition and Attack by Stratagem. Mechanical rides are given the same treatment: the mine train is styled as Sun Wu's raid on Chu with 30,000 Wu troops against 200,000 of Chu, and the siege cinema is a motion-simulator theatre built around the attack and defence of walled cities.
