My new favorite ancient city! Linyi Langya Ancient City is really fun to visit (with a super practical guide)
I was deeply attracted by it when I watched videos before, and finally took advantage of the few people before the New Year to rush to the Langya Ancient City in Linyi. I was shocked in all aspects when I came here for the first time! For friends who want to travel around Shandong Province, coming here is definitely worth it!
🚗Transportation Guide
We drove from Weifang and arrived in about two hours. It is best to arrive before 12 o'clock so that you can catch almost all the programs.
🌟Game Tips
After entering through the west gate, go get a map 🗺️ first, and follow the official Princess 👸 account to get the day's program. Then, according to the time and place on the program, find your location by checking the map, and you can easily watch the show.
The performances in the ancient city go on all day long. From my personal experience, if you want to watch them all, you have to run non-stop to follow the performances, and there is only a 10-minute interval between each show. Here are some of the most stunning performances I would like to recommend to you:
Guoxiu Langya (Langya Grand Theater) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟: It is absolutely unique! The 5D all-round performance was full of high energy from the beginning to the end. I couldn't close my mouth and kept saying "wow". The entire performance is divided into four major chapters, lasting 60 minutes.
⚠️Tips: If you book your ticket one day in advance, you can choose your seat by yourself. If you book on the same day, your seat will be automatically assigned. We were sitting in row 8, and we had to look backwards for a certain section in the middle. I recommend everyone to sit around row 16.
This is a performance that requires you to chase after the actors. It is performed in a three-dimensional immersive gallery that is 500m from west to east. In my opinion, it is definitely a must-see show! The choreography is amazing! If you have enough time, watch all 4 scenes, each one is super exciting.
Fire Show•Iron Flowers All Over the Mountain (Jinque Mountain) 🌟🌟🌟🌟: The intangible cultural heritage iron flower and fire pot performances are beautiful and shocking. You must see it, it is really worth it!
Fuyao Yunshang (Huaxijian) 🌟🌟🌟: The performance is very unique and worth seeing.
Military training on the parade ground (Langya Square) 🌟🌟🌟: It shows a unique scene atmosphere and brings a different experience.
You Feng Lai Yi (Silver Silk Hanque) 🌟🌟: I like it very much, it's like a scholar's fan dance, very entertaining.
In addition to these recommended performances, you can choose to watch other performances according to your time, and spend the rest of the time wandering around the scenic area, taking photos and checking in. After the lights are turned on at night, the ancient city is as beautiful as a painting, with red lanterns hanging high, and the atmosphere is full.
🥘Food Paradise
There is a food street in the ancient city, with all kinds of special snacks that make you salivate. After the tour, you can also try Xiangmin Fried Chicken. The taste is really amazing. It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the best fried chickens I have ever eaten.
🏠Accommodation recommendations
There are many hotels around the ancient city. You can choose a hotel that is close and cost-effective according to your budget. It is very convenient.
This visit to Langya Ancient City completely overturned my previous stereotypes about ancient cities. With a full-day, all-scenario experience, you don’t have to worry about being bored. Every detail, whether it’s the wonderful performances of the actors or the meticulous design of the scenic spot, made me have a great time. So far, it is the best scenic spot I have ever visited, no doubt about it!
