The historical evolution of the word "Langya"[Glister][Glister][Glister]:
In the late Western Jin Dynasty, the ancient city of Langya was the secret residence of Langya King Sima Rui.
In the first year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty (1368), Zhou De, commander of Yizhou, presided over the construction of a brick city for the first time.
In the 11th year of Hongzhi reign of the Ming Dynasty (1498), Zhang Feng, the governor of Yizhou, built additional structures on the original basis.
In the 15th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1587), the prefect Xie Zhiyi presided over the renovation of the four gates of the ancient city and added gate towers to all the gates.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a river dredging project was started around the ancient city of Langya. The Su River, which flowed from the west to the south, was divided into two in the west of the city, and the Qinglong River, commonly known as the "moat", was dug outside the city.
In the seventh year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1668), an earthquake struck the ancient city of Langya, causing many parts of the city wall to collapse, leaving only the East Gate Tower.
In the 12th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1673), the prefect Shao Shi applied for more than 8,000 taels of silver and presided over the reconstruction, restoring the original appearance of the ancient city.
In 2016, the Langya Ancient City project was developed and constructed, covering a total area of 2,037 acres, and was developed in three phases.
In March 2020, Langya Ancient City completed the first phase of the project and started the first round of investment.
On the evening of February 1, 2024, the opening ceremony of Langya Ancient City was held. The next day, the ancient city of Langya officially opened to welcome visitors.
One night stay (self-drive, free parking) [Sunflower] [Sunflower] [Sunflower]:
Traveling to this place is like straying into Peach Blossom Spring. The space inside the homestay apartment is spacious, as if Yiyun has a place to live.
The double viewing windows are like lively eyes, taking in the brilliance of the sun, moon and stars, reflecting the elegance of mountains, rivers and cities, welcoming the colorful clouds in the morning and the sunset in the evening, with endless poetic rippling. The private bathroom is quiet and peaceful, just like a secluded corner, which can wash away the dust and tiredness of the whole body; the optical fiber is like a string, playing the wonderful music of information, and the network world is accessible in an instant.
The washing machine and clothes drying rack are just like the cleverness of the snail girl, quietly relieving the worries about clothing; the bedding is brand new, full of the warmth of the sun and the fragrance of the soft cotton, sleeping on it is like sleeping on the clouds and flowers.
Fortunately, the housekeeper treated me warmly, spoke kindly and caringly, and everything was properly arranged. The trouble of parking will disappear if you follow the instructions, just like sailing downstream with ease. Its cost-effectiveness is outstanding in the world, like a solitary orchid in a valley, with elegant fragrance and high charm but affordable price.
Such a wonderful place is truly a spiritual haven for travelers and a station for poetic life. I wholeheartedly recommend it and hope that you will join me in this dreamlike appointment to enjoy the peaceful years and taste the happiness of life.
