Half of Handan's history is in Guangfu Ancient City.

🌟 Highlights: Guangfu Ancient City is located in Yongnianwa, Handan City, covering an area of 46,000 mu. It has a history of 2,600 years and is also known as Yongnian City, Guangfu Ancient City, Water City, Taiji City, and Little Jiangnan. The most distinctive feature of Guangfu is the 5-kilometer moat surrounding it, making it easy to defend and hard to attack. It was a place of strategic importance for military strategists. The existing city wall was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty, with a height of 12 meters, a width of 8 meters, and an area of 1.5 square kilometers. There are four ancient city towers and five pavilions on the city wall. The ancient city wall, urn city, city tower, horse path, city gate, and relics of the thousand-pound water gate have important architectural and aesthetic value. In history, it has attracted countless dignitaries and literati. Tang Dynasty poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, and Liu Yuxi all visited Guangfu Ancient City and left poems praising it. 📝 Tips: The ancient city is heavily commercialized, with homogeneous products and Hanfu shops everywhere, lacking the flavor of a historical ancient town, which is regrettable. 🍲 Dishes not recommended: The dishes here are salty, and the recommended dishes are average. Locals only have a sentimental attachment to them.
