About Qingzhou Ancient City
Dongmen Street provides a lively commercial approach, while Ouyuan introduces a more intimate garden landscape of rockwork, unusual stones and old osmanthus trees. The garden passed through princely and scholarly ownership, giving its domestic scale a wider historical context. Explore the streets and garden together, recognising that shops and restored public spaces coexist with older structures.
Qingzhou's old city has a history of about 2,200 years. Since the early Western Han dynasty, there have been six successive historic cities in the area: Guangxian City (广县城), Guanggu City (广固城), Dongyang City (东阳城), Nanyang City (南阳城), Dongguan Weizi City (东关圩子城) and a Manchu garrison banner city (满洲驻防旗城). The site is now a tourist area of about 10 square kilometres, becoming a national 5A tourist attraction (国家5A级旅游景区) in 2017. Of this area, 1.4 square kilometres is currently open to visitors, concentrated mainly on the old Nanyang City (古南阳城) site.
What to look for
- Ouyuan’s rockwork, ornamental stones and surviving old osmanthus trees.
