Congtai Park

The towering Congtai stands in the ancient city of Handan, originally with many connected gatherings, hence the name Congtai. It is said to have been built during the time of King Wuling of Zhao, also known as Wuling Congtai. The king of Zhao built the platform for military reviews and for pleasure in music and dance. There were verses about the beauty of the music on the platform and the shining warriors below. The ancient platform originally had a sky bridge, snow cave, flower garden, and decorated pavilions, with a strict structure and wonderful decorations that were famous among the countries. Recently, the Handan Congtai Hanfu has become popular, and many beautiful young ladies are taking pictures in Hanfu. It's quite cold recently, so it's recommended for young ladies who want to take pictures in Hanfu to dress warmer. It's really photogenic, and you can go back to the Warring States period in a second. There are Hanfu travel photography at the park entrance. Also, give a score to my hometown Handan, welcome everyone to Handan! A city that has been waiting for you for three thousand years.

It is an important group of buildings in the ancient city of Handan in Zhao State, and also the symbol of the ancient city of Handan. According to the unearthed cultural relics, it was built during the Warring States Period of Zhao Wuling King (325 BC - 299 BC), and was the place where the king of Zhao reviewed the army and watched the song and dance. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. After Zhao Wuling King ascended the throne, he implemented the Hu clothing and horse riding, which made Zhao State ranked among the 'Seven Heroes' of the Warring States. The place where he practiced at that time was in Wuling Congtai. Wuling Congtai is named after its many towers and not a single gathering.

It has not changed its name for over 3000 years. Legend has it that Nüwa mended the sky and created humans here. Its history is even older than that of Nanjing, yet it is often forgotten by the world. It was once the number one city in the north, the capital of the Zhao state, one of the seven warring states, known as a city rich enough to rival any in the world. Countless people have left their mark here with their writings. In this city, every step is history, with more than half of China's idioms originating from here, recognized as the hometown of idioms. But after 3000 years, it has been submerged for a long time, becoming an inconspicuous little city. Have you guessed where I am talking about? Yes, it is my hometown, Handan in Hebei. Today, I will introduce you to this ancient city that cannot be bypassed in history with a note, not just to understand a city, but to revisit a profound history.

I remember when I was in elementary school, I would go to Congtai Park almost every day.
