Hetou Old Street: Step into the Tang Dynasty and behold its splendor and prosperity.

Tangshan, are you still stuck in the image of a "steel city"? Wake up! 🔥 Tangshan now hides a "Little Chang'an" in the North! 🏮 Highlight: Night View! Hetou Old Street—a "Waterfront Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City" in the North—is absolutely stunning! It feels like it gives you all the beauty at once, a warm and breathtaking experience. [Heart] Three reasons why this immersive experience is perfect: ✨ 12,000 palace lanterns illuminate the "Heavenly Market," instantly transporting you back to the splendor and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. The lively atmosphere and NPC interactions create a sense of security and are incredibly moving. ✨ The "Tang King's Eastern Expedition" live-action martial arts show (super exciting!) is breathtaking! You won't know where to look! ✨ The intangible cultural heritage of iron flower fireworks meets a water curtain light show. When the "Queen" meets the iron flower fireworks, the "hardcore" and "graceful" intertwine, bringing tears to my eyes~😭 🍖Foodie Delight: · The Shuishi Market gathers over 150 Tangshan snacks, offering great value for money, and the hygiene looks very good~ · Must-Try Three-Piece Set🧡: ✓ Chess Piece Baked Cake (the crust is so crispy it crumbles) ✓ Xiaoshan Fried Cake (the red bean filling is runny) ✓ Gecha (the best for a spicy and sour, refreshing treat) 📸Travel Tips: ✔️Best Time: Enter the park at 4 PM and take photos until 10 PM (the night view is amazing) ✔️Transportation: Navigate to "Hetou Old Street Scenic Area," taking a taxi is the most convenient option ✔️Outfit Suggestion: Hanfu! Instantly capture stunning photos in ancient Chinese style! 🏛️Daytime activities: Morning: Qixin 1889 Cultural and Creative Park (Qixin 1889 Industrial Park), a perfect spot for industrial-style photos. Formerly China's first cement factory – Qixin Cement Factory. The park boasts a strong industrial vibe, with iconic "Tangshan" chimneys, vintage green trains, and graffiti walls perfect for photos. Inside, there are museums like the Cement Industry Museum, and you can relax in a café. Two hours is enough for plenty of photos (provided you bring a photography buddy, otherwise you won't be able to choose a single good shot [Sob]). Noon: Tangshan Banquet (Tangshan Food Culture Museum), a museum where you can eat and shop! This is a magical place. The first floor is a bustling food street, while the second and third floors feature exhibitions of folk artifacts. You can enjoy juicy steamed dumplings while gazing at the canal scenery outside the window, or visit the second floor to learn about old Tangshan wedding customs – very interesting! It's incredibly crowded; you could say it's a true embodiment of shoulder-to-shoulder congestion! ⚠️Avoidance Guidelines: ✖️Do not go to Qixin Cultural and Creative Park alone (it's too far). ✖️Driving to Hetou Old Street is not recommended (parking space battle warning!). The night here is a flowing scroll of the Tang Dynasty, a romantic encounter across time. You must come and experience the magnificent prosperity under the countless palace lanterns!
