In Shandong Province, there is a city located at the foot of Yimeng Mountain, next to the Yihe River, so the name Linyi, Linyi was called Langya in ancient times, and it is the core birthplace of Dongyi culture. There is an ancient city of Langya in the eastern district of Linyi River, which is the experience place of Langya culture and the soul of Linyi.
Langya Ancient City is a key construction project of Linyi City jointly built by a number of investment groups and tourism development groups in Shandong Province, through the immersive approach of the whole staff to integrate the thousand-year-old history and culture of Langya into the tourism experience through scene interpretation, so that tourists can travel into a dream, put themselves in the real picture of Linyi's 3,000-year-old culture, and feel the impact and amazement of Langya culture.
We have not been to the city of Linyi, coinciding with the Spring Festival holiday, so the tourist destination is set in the ancient city of Langya, of course, this result is also in Xi'an, Luoyang and other popular tourist cities are overcrowded, the experience is too poor in the case of another way, the sword to go sideways.
The opening hours of Langya Ancient City during the Spring Festival are 10:00-21:00 (last admission at 20:00), and we bought tickets from Douyin a few days in advance.
As soon as dawn broke in the morning, we set off, there were few vehicles on the highway, unimpeded, the sky had been slightly reddened after walking for half an hour, looking up at the unique nature of the gradient color from gray to yellow to red was very beautiful, slowly the powerful red light penetrated the clouds, the sun slowly rose from the middle, the layering of shadows formed by different colors of light made people feel as if a pair of hands held out a bright night pearl.
At noon, after 6 hours of driving, we finally arrived in Linyi City, Shandong Province from Hebei, walking on the Yihe Bridge on Nanjing Road, both sides are the wide Yihe River, although it is winter, there is no red flower and green willow against the background, but the scenery is also very beautiful, the whole urban environment is clean and fresh, there is a feeling of coming to the coastal city.
Walking with the navigation in the urban area, suddenly a large number of antique buildings come into view, beautiful, this is the ancient city of Langya. The parking lot next to the main gate of the ancient city is full, under the command of the staff, we came to the underground parking lot, the charge is the same as the above 30 minutes free of charge, more than 30 minutes after the small car charges 10 yuan, large car charges 20 yuan, no time limit.
The underground parking lot is very large, with plenty of parking spaces, and there are special ticket gates, so you don't need to exchange for paper tickets, and you can enter the city with an electronic coupon code. The moment you stand on the streets of the ancient city from the staircase, you really have a feeling of passing through, the buildings in the city are antique, the tourists are weaving, and many people are dressed in ancient costumes. The sound of gongs and drums, music, and clapping are intertwined, and it is very lively. At noon during the Spring Festival, the quietness of Linyi City and the bustle of the ancient city of Langya form a stark contrast.
In terms of tourism experience, the most interesting thing about the ancient ancient city is not the day but the night, because you can see the Linyi of 2024 during the day, and after nightfall, the lanterns are bright and brilliant, and you can dream of Langya for thousands of years under the illumination of light and shadow. Shuttle through the fireworks market, appreciate the style of ink painting, and enjoy infinite surprises at a time. So we didn't visit the ancient city too much, but went straight to the Langya Grand Theater to watch the large-scale scene six senses indoor performance show "National Show Langya" at half past 15.
There are four periods of theater performances a day: 30, 19:30 each performance lasts 80 minutes, the theater checks in one hour in advance, the Langya Grand Theater is very large, there are 48 rows of seats, the VIP seats are red seats, all in the middle position, we check in the ticket admission, sit in the 18 rows to rest, when I came I thought it would be too far back, the vision is not good, I didn't expect the vision to be very good, the scene can be seen comprehensively, very clear.
After more than an hour of performance, I felt that it was an audio-visual feast, which was eye-opening and extremely shocking. Looking back on it now, it's breathtaking, and I can't get enough of it. The whole performance is divided into six chapters, such as "There is a Phoenix to Yi", "Music and Dance Spring and Autumn", "Loyal Liver and Righteous Courage", "Qunxian Yaji" and other six chapters, from the origin of Dongyi culture in ancient times, the legend of the phoenix totem to a gorgeous state banquet in the Spring and Autumn Period, presenting the glory of the prosperous era to the beacon fire and wolf smoke of the Qin Dynasty General Meng Tian vs. the Huns, the tragedy of the soldiers to defend the territory of the blood-stained battlefield to the graceful bones of the Wei and Jin Yashi, and the proud spirit of the Langya sages.
Six picture scrolls unfold the thousand-year-old history of Langya one after another, allowing the audience to enter Langya in a beautiful artistic conception. In the pleasure of viewing, people unconsciously give birth to respect for the history and culture of Linyi, and love for Langya City, which is outstanding.
Narrating the history of dance, a dream of a thousand years, not only the choreography of the dance is creative, but also the high-tech stage equipment, the large electronic screen you see in front of it is liftable, and the transparency is adjustable, the landscape on the screen and the stage play behind the screen are combined with reality and reality, and the three-dimensional sense is very good.
The stage also combines the folding canopy technology, unconsciously the top of the head has been covered by the canopy, the fire phoenix in the front screen rushed out of the screen and flew to the canopy overhead, the huge phoenix rotated, flew, and chirped above our heads, in the chapter of the group of sages and elegance, the whole canopy became a mysterious and romantic starry sky, and the saint Liu Hong fell into the illusion of the universe, dancing with the stars, and singing with the sun and the moon.
The stage you see before the opening is only a very small part of the stage. Because in the middle of the stage, the middle and both sides of the viewing area are covered with buildings that can be lifted, the flat wall can be changed out of the stage in a few seconds, and the front fifteen rows of auditoriums move the variable passage to the left and right, and the passage can be raised and lowered and rotated 360 degrees in the air.
The way the actor appeared was even more unexpected, which was quite surprising. Some fell from the sky, some rose from the ground, some suddenly appeared from the side, and some came from the eaves of the walls on both sides of the theater, which was really dizzying.
There are also various water elements on the stage, sometimes waterfalls, sometimes waves, sometimes torrential rain, and the cool water vapor that accompanies the dance scene really makes people feel as if they have come to the sea, mixed with the breath of the sea. The slight drizzle sprinkled in the whole viewing area in the dance near the end immediately made people feel like the rain and rain in the south of the Yangtze River in March, it was really picturesque, and I finally knew why it was called the Six Senses Performing Arts Show.
The costumes and makeup of the actors are very beautiful, the lighting color scheme of the stage is also quite beautiful, and the time tunnel and veil created by different lights in the show are quiet and hazy, real and illusory, and many audiences touch them lightly, feeling as if they are shrouded in real veils. The kind of visual beauty that you feel at the scene can't be captured by your mobile phone, and the audience will let out heartfelt exclamations from time to time throughout the performance, of course, just one word - wow......
It was almost 5 o'clock from the Grand Theater, I took out the map and looked at the route, the ancient city is divided into 7 districts, namely Langya Secret Area, Langya Shengshi District, Yizhou Business District, Yimeng Old Block, Classical Art District, Yizhou Mansion District, and Ink and Wash Elegance District. Seven architectural styles create seven dreams, allowing people to travel back and forth between different times and learn about different historical periods.
We walked a little way and entered the Tang Food Market, which was decorated with golden splendor, all kinds of snacks, and singing and dancing performances, with people coming and going, very lively. It's just that there are too few tables, chairs and benches, and there are too many people to have nowhere to eat. Sushi 12 yuan - 15 yuan a box is quite affordable, 20 yuan a drawer of siu mai is not meat filling, pancake rolls and green onions 10 yuan a piece may be more popular with locals, a small meatloaf and a slightly larger leek egg cake are 10 yuan a piece, in short supply. biangbiang noodles 15 20 a serving, the line is long and long. Of course, there are also snacks sold outdoors, the most common is kebabs, 15 yuan a skewer, you can eat while walking.
We came out of the Tang Food Market has fallen at night, the streets in the whole ancient city are brilliantly lit, the lanterns are bright, and the classical buildings are more transparent and three-dimensional under the background of the lights.
Some of the tourists rush to the various performances between the blocks, some watch the acrobatics, some watch the iron flowers, some watch the shadow puppetry, and some tourists enjoy the scenery on the Qinglong River cruise, the beautiful lanterns on both sides of the river are reflected on the river surface, the light and shadow are swaying, sometimes it is quiet blue, the cruise ship appears quiet and mysterious, sometimes it is bright green, the cruise ship is instantly lively, the conversation of the tourists, the hearty laughter floats in the riverbank, it really makes people feel like a dream.
At about 7 o'clock in the evening, many tourists will gather in the classical art area, standing next to the 500-meter red corridor in the air, waiting for the ** large-scale outdoor three-dimensional immersive interpretation of "Only This Langya", this performance integrates lighting, stage art, holographic images, mechanical special effects and other scientific and technological means, presenting an elegant and aesthetic visual feast. The show has a total of four acts: 1 Liu Jing, the king of Langya, moved his capital to Linyi. 2. The three brothers of Zhuge are divided into three masters. 3 Wang Xizhi's wedding and the creation of the world's first book "Lanting Collection Preface" 4, Sima Rui dressed in a crown and crossed to the south. There are a lot of people in this performance, and it is generally not good to squeeze in the front**, and the visual effects are much worse, but the show is still very exciting.
If you go to Langya Ancient City, there are a few suggestions for reference only.
1. If you buy a ticket, you must buy a performance including "National Show Langya", try to buy VIP seats, buy it in front, the visual effects and feelings will be very good, and you will not be disappointed. The rest should be given away, not compared with the plastic flowers and fake trees in the ancient city.
2. If you want to play more carefully, you have to check in at every venue within 7 blocks, and the furnishings of each venue are carefully savored and understood, and the performances in each district are all you want to see, so go early, make a plan according to the map and performance schedule, connect reasonably, and go purposefully.
3. If you want to play a romantic point, elegant point, the scenic spot has Yuerong Fang, Chivalry Fang, Liren Hall, you can change into ancient costumes and stroll through the pavilions or wear a gorgeous cheongsam to wander in Yimeng Old Street, take a few **, and keep the good memories of that era. In the ancient city, Yizhou Miaoji has both traditional intangible cultural heritage and young cultural and creative works. You can experience intangible cultural heritage handicrafts such as Yimeng cloth art, straw weaving and willow weaving, and you can buy cultural and creative works with different ingenuity.
