Ancient Canal City The Battle of Taierzhuang in the spring of 1938 reduced this ancient city to ruins. After the victory of the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Nationalist government announced on the front page of the Central Daily News that it would rebuild the ancient city of Taierzhuang, but due to various reasons, it eventually became a mirage. After the founding of New China, the ancient city of Taierzhuang has always been the seat of the Lanling County and Taierzhuang District governments. The Party and the people have devoted their main energy to socialist construction such as changing mountains and controlling water, fighting the canal, and transforming farmland. Until the reform and opening up period, Taierzhuang's economy and society have undergone tremendous changes, and urban construction has gradually shifted to the development of the western new district. The old residential areas of the old city still maintain their quaint and natural old and backward appearance. The 3,000 farmers in the Shunhe Community Committee who have not yet completely left the land still live in shanty towns with harsh environments. The development and reconstruction of the ancient city of Taierzhuang has become the dream of several generations of people in Taierzhuang. On April 8, 2008, at the event commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Battle of Taierzhuang, Zaozhuang City officially announced the launch of the reconstruction of the ancient city of Taierzhuang, striving to build the ancient city of Taierzhuang into China's first World War II memorial city, and to build it into a cultural tourism brand unique to the Canal and well-known in China and even the world. Based on a lot of research and investigation, Zaozhuang City commissioned Tongji University to carry out planning and design. In order to improve the level of planning and design, Zaozhuang City held seminars and demonstrations, invited well-known domestic experts, cultural and tourism professionals, etc. to Zaozhuang for field investigations, listened to suggestions from all sides, and continuously improved the planning. #Canal Ancient Capital #Ancient Towns and Villages Worth Going To #My Passionate Travel #New Exhibition See Here #Places I Want to Go Again Canal Ancient Capital (Xinghua West Road Store)
