Hexi Metropolis, located at the intersection of Leitai East Road and Binhe Road in Liangzhou District, Wuwei City, Gansu Province, is a comprehensive urban central cultural and tourist attraction integrating heritage preservation, tourism, cultural exhibitions, leisure and entertainment, and supporting public service facilities. Wuwei, formerly known as Liangzhou, was a key hub on the ancient Silk Road and a regional center throughout history. It served as the capital of the Former Liang, Later Liang, Southern Liang, Northern Liang, and Daliang dynasties, earning it the nickname "The Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties." During its heyday, it was known as "Guzang in the north and Jiankang in the south."
Leveraging the historical and cultural resources of Leitai, the scenic area has created three experience halls: the Great Han Fu, the Heavenly Horse Song, and the Liangzhou Ci. These sculptures depict historical scenes such as the Heavenly Horse, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, and Huo Qubing's expeditions, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties. The scenic area also incorporates intangible cultural heritage performances such as drum-beating and re-engraved paper-cutting. The area has also fostered a research and study base and hosted activities such as the "Ten Thousand Students Tour Wuwei" program, further enriching the cultural tourism consumption chain. Key attractions include:
The Han Dynasty Fu Pavilion: Focusing on Han culture, it showcases the history, culture, and art of the Han Dynasty through modern technology.
The Tianma Song Pavilion: Focusing on Tianma culture, it showcases the historical roots and cultural connotations of Wuwei as the hometown of Tianma.
The Liangzhou Ci Pavilion: Based on the Tang Dynasty poem "Liangzhou Ci," this exhibition allows visitors to experience the millennia-old charm of Liangzhou culture through poetic and cultural experiences.
The Xiliang Grand Theater: Presents immersive performances such as "Tianma Xing," providing visitors with a spectacular audio-visual experience.
In 2024, Hexi Metropolis (formerly Han Tang Tianma City) was selected as one of the "2024 National New Consumption Scene Typical Cases" released by the National Development and Reform Commission, becoming the only cultural and tourism complex in Gansu Province to be selected. Thanks to its rich nighttime cultural and tourism activities, Hexi Metropolis was successfully selected as one of the third batch of national-level nighttime cultural and tourism consumption clusters. With its profound historical and cultural heritage, rich cultural experiences and wonderful performances, Hexi Metropolis has become an important tourist business card for Wuwei City and even Gansu Province, attracting many tourists to visit.
Wuwei Hexi Metropolitan Scenic Area is located in Liangzhou District, Wuwei City, Gansu Province. It is a comprehensive scenic area integrating historical and cultural experience, leisure and entertainment, and tourism. Wuwei, formerly known as Liangzhou, is located at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor. It is known as the "Hexi Metropolitan" and is an important node city on the ancient Silk Road.
Relying on the historical and cultural resources of Leitai, the scenic area has created three experience halls, "Han Fu", "Tianma Song" and "Liangzhou Ci", and displays historical scenes such as Tianma, Zhang Qian's departure from the Western Regions, and Huo Qubing's expedition through sculpture groups. Modern technological elements such as the water curtain light show in the scenic area bring tourists a visually shocking experience.
