Things to do in Liaocheng

Liaocheng Water City, also known as Jiangbei Water City, is surrounded by water. Originally built in the Northern Song Dynasty and renovated during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is renowned for its unique layout: "the city is nestled in the water, and the water and city are one." The city boasts a square layout, centered around Guangyue Tower and crisscrossed by cross streets. The city boasts numerous attractions, making it particularly worth a visit. Admission to the ancient city is free, though some attractions require tickets.

Boating on Dongchang Lake is quite cheap. A four-person boat costs 80 yuan per hour, and a six-person boat costs 100 yuan per hour. There aren't many people, so you can get on the boat without queuing. The electric boats are very easy to drive, and the lake is quite large, so you don't have to worry about bumping into other boats.

When you come to Liaocheng, you must take a ride on this Ferris wheel. You can have a panoramic view of Dongchang Lake, Dongchang Mansion and Guangyue Tower. It's great, and the ticket price is cheap. It rises slowly, and you can see a 360-degree view without blind spots. The whole water city slowly emerges before your eyes. This has to be praised.

The original iron tower of Longxing Temple, which was used to protect the country, has now become the Iron Tower Cultural Museum. It is not easy for this small iron tower from the Song Dynasty to be preserved in the wars of history. The remaining stone base and the broken pieces of the tower body and top that were dug out have been recast and restored, and finally it has its current appearance. The Song Dynasty Iron Tower Cultural Relics Exhibition next to it tells the past and present of Liaocheng Iron Tower, and there are many knowledge points that can be learned.

Very good for children to play! The price is worth it! Tree of Life interactive drum, interactive big screen! Dream Castle, 3D water show! Interactive projection, light tunnel, romantic flower gallery! Too many attractions are worth experiencing!

A role model for Liaocheng cadres, a hero of the times, admission to the memorial hall is free!

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.

A beautiful place to visit, lots of photos opportunities and welcoming people.
