Hualin Garden Scenic Area

4.4/5

Hualin Garden Scenic Area takes "traditional Chinese architecture, cultural exhibition halls, immersive performances, and intangible cultural heritage skills" as its four core experiences. With the mission of promoting Yellow River culture and excellent traditional Chinese culture, it has transformed a former flood detention area along the Yellow River into a picturesque treasure, establishing a cultural landmark on the riverbank. The Hualin Garden Scenic Area was master-planned and designed by a top-tier team led by Professor Wang Guixiang, director of the Institute of Architectural History and Heritage Conservation at Tsinghua University and president of the Ancient Architecture Branch of the China Yuanmingyuan Society, ensuring its supreme academic and cultural standards. The beauty of Hualin lies primarily in its realm of harmony between man and nature. Here, the essence of Chinese classical garden art is epitomized, with architecture nestled between mountains and waters, corridors and pavilions arranged in picturesque disorder, where flora and cultural elements complement each other, presenting a three-dimensional painting of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. The beauty of Hualin is reflected in the architectural craftsmanship. Historically iconic structures from the Yellow River basin - including Cao Wei's Lingyun Terrace, Northern Wei's Yongning Temple Pagoda, Tang Dynasty's Linde Hall and Hanyuan Hall, Wu Zetian's Mingtang, Northern Song's Daqing Hall, and Southern Song's Chuigong Hall - have been meticulously reconstructed at 1:1 scale, forming a three-dimensional epic of Chinese architecture that brings millennia of splendor within reach. The beauty of Hualin lies in the majestic elegance of its garden design. The overall layout is grand and expansive, with a landscape that harmonizes the openness of northern gardens and the subtle grace of southern courtyards. Every stone, water feature, plant, and tree embodies meticulous craftsmanship, showcasing the philosophical wisdom of Chinese gardens - "crafted by human hands, yet appearing as if created by nature." The beauty of Hualin lies in its accumulation of cultural treasures. Twenty-one themed art galleries are scattered throughout the garden like pearls, gathering cultural, artistic and natural essences such as luminous pearls, blue-and-white porcelain, giant root carvings, gilded jade sculptures, imperial scholar calligraphy and paintings, and Yellow River wonderstones, making China's excellent traditional culture visible, tangible and palpable. The beauty of Hualin unfolds in the splendor of fireworks performances. With the Yellow River civilization as its soul, it presents the immersive epic show "The mighty Yellow River," the large-scale outdoor performance "The golden age of the dynasty," the water show "The spirit of the winding Yellow River," and the grand fireworks celebration, using modern artistic language to tell the captivating stories of the Yellow River. "The mighty Yellow River" is an immersive epic drama that traces the Yellow River civilization. Centered on the themes of "governing through rites and music" and "harnessing the Yellow River," the six-act performance connects the grand history from Emperor Shun of ancient times to modern river management, interpreting the enduring cultural DNA and patriotic spirit of the Chinese nation. "The golden age of the dynasty" is a grand large-scale outdoor performance in Hualin Garden, themed around the flourishing Tang Dynasty culture and Yellow River civilization. Centered on the grand court assembly and Yellow River worship ceremony held on New Year's Day during Emperor Gaozong of Tang's reign, the show breaks traditional performance boundaries within Hualin Garden's majestic Hanyuan Palace setting. It integrates ritual systems, music and dance, aerial acrobatics, and multimedia effects to create a multidimensional portrayal of prosperous ancient civilization. The water show "The spirit of the winding Yellow River" is a grand "Ode to the Yellow River civilization in light and shadow" created by the Hualin Garden scenic area. On a 180m-wide water screen resembling rice paper, it uses cutting-edge digital technology to paint and inscribe magnificent verses celebrating the Yellow River civilization. The beauty of Hualin lies in its mission of cultural heritage preservation. Adhering to the philosophy of "embracing the foreign, remembering the native, and creating the future," it integrates the thoughts, culture, art, fine arts, carvings, sculptures, murals, folk customs, garden art, and architectural art of this historical period, constructing a cross-temporal cultural heritage preservation system project. The Hualin Garden Scenic Area will become a premium cultural tourism project integrating science popularization, education, experience, and entertainment. It will also serve as a natural science education and traditional cultural education base for youth, striving to build China's most charming film and television production hub. This will create a high-quality, high-standard historical and cultural complex - a masterpiece for future generations, leaving precious cultural heritage and establishing a cultural landmark along the Yellow River.Qihe County · 7.2 km from downtown

DezhouOld Canal Scenic Area centers on the Canal Culture Square and uses the river and two belts as its main axis, presenting an overall layout of "one vertical and one horizontal, arranged into six zones." The square's theme focuses on reflecting Dezhou's canal transport culture. Key structures include the Jiuda Tianqu Archway, which reflects Dezhou's status as a transportation hub; the Canal Li vessel, representing Dezhou's history; the Nine-Dragon Water-Spouting Pillar, representing the canal's course; as well as decorative sculptures such as docks and ancient boats. The Canal Culture Square is designed with a square, symmetrical layout that embodies a sense of solemnity and substance. The central theme sculpture, the Li vessel, symbolizes Dezhou's brilliant and long-standing history and culture. The expansive square surrounding the sculpture provides a space for leisure, tourism, entertainment, and gatherings, while also showcasing the square's grand scale. The two sides of the square are designed as tree-lined areas, and the green spaces at the four corners provide pleasant leisure areas for visitors. The large waterfront steps on the canal side open toward the water, and combined with thecanaldock, they not only connect to canal water tourism but also provide a space for audiences to watch water performances. There are plans to design and build a three-gate, four-pillar archway full of cultural charm on the square, which will serve as the finishing touch for the entire area. In addition, decorative landscape features such as the Nine-Dragon Water-Spouting Pillar, masts, entrance stone archways, docks, and canal transport sculptures have been added to enhance the canal's cultural atmosphere. Using the canal-dock-square spatial configuration as a foundation, we are creating a new cultural and tourism attraction in Dezhou.Dezhou · 7.5 km from downtown

The Tomb of King Sulu is located in Beiying Village, North District of Dezhou City. In 1997, it was listed as a key cultural relics protection unit in the province. The ancient Sulu Kingdom is located on the Sulu Islands in the Philippines. It is an emirate that believes in Islam. The country is divided into three princes, the East King, the West King, and the Dong King. The East King is the respect. In the Ming Dynasty of our country, the ancient Sulu Kingdom started close friendly exchanges with our country. In the fifteenth year of Yongle's reign in the Ming Dynasty, three kings on the Sulu Archipelago—the Eastern King Batu Gepahala, the Western King Mahala Gemading, and the Dong Wang Batu Gepalabu, led a group of 340 family members to form a friendly mission. He came to China for a friendly visit and received a grand reception by Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di. The three kings stayed happily in Beijing for 22 days, and returned to the country by boat along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The king of the east was unfortunately ill among the returnees who took the route from Shandong. On September 13, 1417, he died of illness in Anling Township, north of Dezhou. Hall. When Emperor Yongle heard the obituary, he was deeply mourned, so he sent the minister of Rites to Dezhou with a sacrificial text to be buried with Wang Li. The eldest son of the East King, Duma Han, returned to the country to inherit the throne, and the princess Ge Muning, the second son Wenhala, the third son Andulu and more than ten attendants stayed in Dezhou to guard the tomb.

It's really great, especially the parade and fireworks show; definitely worth going. The only downside is that many rides require a height of 1.4 meters or more, so kids who aren't tall enough can't participate.

The Chinese version of Disneyland has decent attractions and is quite fun. It gets very crowded during the Spring Festival, so you can enter as soon as it opens and stay until closing time. There's something for both adults and children. The drone and fireworks shows at night are also good. However, the downside is obvious: after watching the fireworks, you can't get out of the parking lot due to severe traffic congestion!

The scenic area is indeed beautiful, and the night view and fireworks are breathtaking. Given its fame, it's definitely worth a visit (overall, the scenery is superb). However, I must offer a suggestion regarding the experience: the scenic area is enormous. Early in the morning, trying to rent an electric scooter or bicycle was impossible – not a single one could be found! With such a large influx of visitors, the number of available vehicles was pitifully small; even paying money didn't guarantee a rental, making walking extremely tiring. While the official sightseeing buses were decent, their numbers also need to be increased. I hope the scenic area can provide more rental vehicles to prevent visitors from becoming exhausted from the transportation problem.

I discovered this scenic area after watching the movie "Detective Chinatown" and decided to check it out. The parking lot is large and plentiful, and it's free on holidays, which is commendable. The entire scenic area consists of two parts: one part features traditional Chinese architecture, including the East Market, West Market, Palace Area, and Prince Ning's Mansion, which is a popular filming location for various lighthearted time-travel short dramas. The other part is the set area from "Detective Chinatown," recreating landmarks and scenes from San Francisco over a hundred years ago—perfect for taking photos! The layout and tour routes are clearly defined and well-displayed, ensuring every visitor knows their location—a great feature. There are performances and interactive activities at various times, with exciting events in the evening. This encourages afternoon visitors to stay longer and spend more money—a clever strategy that isn't annoying but definitely worth promoting! The entire scenic area is suitable for children, ladies in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), or anyone with a passion for filming and television.

I go there every year. The rafting is very long and there is almost no sun. There are many slides suitable for children. The wave pool is very large and fun. There is also an infinity pool. There are bubble activities and musical performances in the park. However, there are many height and weight restrictions for the exciting activities.

Dezhou is a city with a rich cultural heritage. Historically, transportation relied mainly on waterways. Dezhou's development originated from waterways. The Yellow River culture, the Grand Canal culture, and the Qilu culture have been integrated with Dezhou's unique folk culture, and the city's water system is a cultural symbol of Dezhou.

We took advantage of the holiday to drive our family of four to Dezhou for a short trip. After comparing various options, we chose to stay at the Atour Hotel in the Jianhe Scenic Area, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations! The hotel environment was quiet, the room was clean and bright, and there was enough space for our whole family. The bedding was soft, and the children slept soundly. The staff were friendly and responsive to our needs. During the day, we drove to Leling Film City. The kids especially loved the ancient-style scenes, and the photos turned out great. After the film city, we headed back home and had dinner at Impression Dezhou, where we tried authentic Dezhou braised chicken, fried dough sticks, and Pingyuan tofu. The dishes were suitable for all ages. The whole trip was leisurely and unhurried. The accommodation was comfortable, the sightseeing was enjoyable, and the food was authentic. It's perfect for family trips, and we'll definitely choose this hotel again next time we're in Dezhou!

The King of Sulu was the king of a country in the Philippine Islands during the Ming Dynasty. He led a large group to Beijing to pay homage to Emperor Yongle. On the way back to China, he passed through Dezhou, Shandong and unfortunately died of illness. Emperor Yongle specially issued an order to bury him there as a prince. The King of Sulu's queen, a son and some of his followers settled in Dezhou and guarded the king's tomb for generations until the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The descendants of these tomb keepers officially became Chinese citizens.
