Xiangyang is a prefecture-level city in northwestern Hubei province, China and the second largest city in Hubei by population. It was known as Xiangfan from 1950 to 2010. The Han River runs through Xiangyang's centre and divides the city north-south.
-------------------⭐⭐
Tang Dyansty City Tourist Attraction
-------------------⭐⭐
Located in Northwest Hubei, the town of Xiangyang is home to over 2 million people but is considered a small town by Chinese standards. Xiangyang is home to one of the best-kept secrets in all of China, a massive mock Tang Dynasty city (618-907 AD).
In this ginormous movie set tourists are free to not only explore the city streets and markets, but also have free reign to enter any of the towers, houses, palaces, and temples.
Other than being an up and coming tourist attraction, Xiangyang’s Tang city has been the location for several TV shows such as The Rise of Phoenixes and Colorful Bones as well as movies like Legend of the Demon Cat.
Tourists are free to explore all corners of the city, except, of course, certain areas closed off for filming. In these select locations, actors and extras not currently used in the scene can be found lounging nearby or eating at one of the restaurants located in the marketplace. Most of the actors are open to talking to tourists and posing for photos, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the shooting of the scene.
This extensively elaborate city is so much more than just a movie set, it transports its visitors into a bygone age of Chinese history which can only be found in movies.
What makes this city truly remarkable is that all of the buildings can be entered and explored. Unlike, fake storefronts and cardboard scenery which may come to mind when thinking of Hollywood, this movie set could be a fully operational city if it only had the villagers.
Unlike many of the other famous tourist destinations in China, this playground of ancient Chinese buildings is practically devoid of tourists. Efforts have been made to try and attract more people with advertisements in the nearby megacities, but for the time being, guests will have all of this Tang Dynasty dream world to their own.
All of the movie set’s temples, palaces, houses, and markets are built and decorated to make one truly feel like they have stepped back in time. The city even offers costume rentals for those looking to take embracing Chinese culture a step further. The local tourists can be found dramatically posing in gardens and by palace gates in their flowing Tang Dynasty dresses, bringing their fantasy of being an Empress of China to life.
While it may not be an actual 700-year-old ancient city, it is, however, a real movie set.
Xiangyang’s Tang City is one of the only places in China where you can find such a large density of traditional Chinese architecture without having skyscrapers looming in the distance. For those wanting to truly feel the romanticized China which we often play out in our imaginations, the gates to the Tang Dynasty are open.
-------------------⭐⭐
Ancient Xiangyang City
-------------------⭐⭐
It enjoys widespread fame far and near due to its glorious culture, long history, rich cultural relics and beautiful landscape. The old city site is located on the banks of the Han River in downtown of the city. It was first built and its basic layout was formed during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-24 AD).
It is recorded that the ancient city had six city gates and 4,210 crenels. During the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties, the old city was perfected to be even more spectacular.
The six city gates and four watch towers stood straight up to guard the city. The golden tiles and colored glazes made the city wall shine in the sunlight. The towering shadow of city wall was reflected in the moat. What an imposing sight it was!
Today, the existing city wall of Ancient Xiangyang City is all that remains of the Ming Dynasty. Its outer is laid by pieces of large bricks and the inner is filled by the rammed earth.
The north side faces Han River and the others are encompassed by moat whose depth is 6.6 to 9.9 feet and the widest point measures 273 yards.
There is only one city gate left - the north gate "Suo Yue" which means the lock and the key, signifying the gate's military importance. Though the rest of the city gates were destroyed, the ancient city layout and defense system can still be easily recognized.

I got to know about Xiangyang and Fancheng from watching the Chinese classic "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on youtube.
In the final years of the Eastern Han dynasty, Xiangyang became the capital of Jing Province (ancient Jingzhou). The warlord Liu Biao governed his territory from here. Under Liu's rule, Xiangyang became a major destination of the northern elite fleeing warfare in the Central Plain. In the Battle of Xiangyang in 191 AD, Sun Jian, a rival warlord and the father of Sun Quan, founder of Eastern Wu, was defeated and killed. The area passed to Liu Bei after Liu Biao's death. Two decades later, Battle of Fancheng, one of the most important battles in late Han-Three Kingdoms period, was fought here, resulting in Liu Bei's loss of Jingzhou.
Great historic sharing, bro
I would strongly encourage those who have not yet watched the 2010 Three Kingdoms (95 Episodes 1080p) drama series to seriously consider watching it.
It's based on one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature (alongside Journey to The West, The Story of the Red Chambers and Water Margin (All Men Are Brothers)).
It's available for free on youtube.
Just stunning, traditional Chinese architecture it's unmatched
Nivz, I'm a fan of traditional Chinese architecture too😃
While much can be said of traditional Chinese architecture, it cannot match the diversity, range and the scope of the West. The legacy of Greece and Rome is not only more evident because there exist plenty of remnants to indicate its glory and impressive scale, but its influence on architecture throughout the centuries. With very few exceptions, Chinese buildings were constructed in wood, hence their perishability. Virtually all of the buildings featured here are nothing but recreations.
@@LUIS-ox1bv have a look to the majority of countries from east - southeast Asia, and tell me if the Chinese architecture isn't influential. I think you must be a little bit eurocentrist. The influence that China has had since centuries ago to the majority of asian countries it's something undeniable. From architecture to mythology, celebrations and many other things. And it just make sense because for almost 2.000 years China was the richest and one of the most important country in the world and sometimes the most.
@@LUIS-ox1bv The Romans knew how to use concrete and passed the knowledge down to the Germanic successors. I'd admit that those gigantic cathedrals and palaces across Europe look absolutely stunning. Indeed very few Chinese or East Asian buildings can compete with them in terms of grandiosity. But you should also keep in mind that Chinese architecture can still easily match the West's in terms of diversity. There are two dozen registered and complied styles of roof for single-story residential buildings ALONE. For multi-story residences, for residences of civilian use, of governmental use, of commercial use, of religious use, of the imperial households, of the government officials, etc, there are countless more styles. This is just a tip of the iceberg.
Such a historic place and amazing culture and traditions greetings from Davao city Philippines 💞💓

Each dynasty has its own "UNIQUENESS!"
Definitely
看到这么多穿汉服的年轻人很感动。1988 年我还是一个孩子，看完了红楼梦开始钟情于汉服。拿家里的破窗帘和一些破珠子，就这样裹吧裹吧给自己倒腾了一身四不像的汉服出来。唯一像样的就是买了一对一块钱的红玉耳环。后来当我20几岁的时候开始有个把人在街上穿汉服，被人当成了日本人和韩国人。当时真的很痛心，很痛心。我们自己民族的服饰却没有人知道。今时今日看到满大街的汉服，而且年轻人随口就能说出明制汉服和唐朝汉服的区别。这才20年呀，变化太大了。曾经我们丢弃的都被捡回来了。
民族信心的恢復需要一個過程，好在我們一直在路上
感谢走心分享，懂得自然懂，比心🍎

Your channel is a boon to people outside China . People from other countries can’t experience beauty of China and by uploading these videos , atleast we can feel the glimpse of scenic China.
Thanks for your kind comments, friend
Tourists must see your videos. I'm very impressed with the beautiful sceneries of China. How wonderful and so rich in heritage and cultures.
Glad you like them!
Simply great and fantastic! And respect to authorities of China on so serious investment in restoring and preservation of this important site.

So fantastic to see the people of China reveling in, celebrating, and proud of their Ancient Chinese heritage. Its so great! Seeing so many wearing their Dynasty costumes is an added delight!

Good afternoon Max! Xiangyang is an ancient city park in the open air, its size and the city wall made a very strong aesthetic impression on me, especially in the evening, you can walk endlessly there! For me personally, three-hour video walks like to watch longer! Thank you Max for this interesting tour, I always watch with pleasure!

日本は中国を模倣し、中国の影響を多大に受けています。
Japan copy China and was greatly influenced by China.
Ancient Japan was not as great and prosperous as ancient China. Japan was just a small village, a small kingdom that was influenced by the ancient Chinese empire and copy ancient China.古代日本は古代中国ほど偉大で繁栄していませんでした。日本は小さな村にすぎません。小さな王国古代中国帝国の影響を受け、古代中国を模倣したもの

Indeed a historic place. Not too glamourous where authenticity is still being kept. Magnificent! Your explanations of the place is well done. Thanks friend for another good recommended source. 👍👍
Hey, Jass, thanks for your nice sharing. You're so welcome!

Wish Hubei Xiang yang peoples manage n protect this nation ancient city for Hubei n country good prosperity live n work.❤️🌹😘👍
🙏
China is magnificent in preserving its traditional culture.
🙏
The whole affair is merely a recreation, including the Hanfu sported by many of the women and girls. China, in fact, does not stand out, nor have a particularly sterling reputation for preserving its culture. Other cultures and countries have done a much better job at it then China. Traditional Chinese culture began its long decline before the demise of the Ch'ing Dynasty, and accerelerated throughout the 20th century. The Cultural Revolution did a lot to sweep away a lot of historical evidence of Chinese culture, and history.
Talking about stunning provinces the Yunnan province is the most beautiful including the cities of Dali, Lijiang and Shangrila!
👏

Xiangyang is a prefecture-level city in northwestern Hubei province, China and the second largest city in Hubei by population.
In 2019, Xiangyang's GDP ranking 46th in mainland China.
Xiangyang is located at a strategic site on the middle reaches of the Han River, and has witnessed several significant battles in Chinese history. Xiangyang County was first established at the location of modern Xiangcheng in the early Western Han dynasty and the name had been used continuously for more than 2,000 years until the 20th century.
Thanks for your information
Oh wow I never heard of this beautiful city!
在中國中部湖北省，襄陽市曾經抵抗蒙古大軍40多年，三線城市
《三国演义》、《射雕英雄传》、《神雕侠侣》里就讲过襄阳城!😂
It's actually a famous city among Chinese people and in Chinese history books and novels. It's just not that well known in the west since most people in the West can't read Chinese and Chinese history books/novels.

I'll watch the rest of the video later.
See you soon Max!😁
You're always so kind to support me, my friend.

Hi Max. Thanks a lot because you made this video. Finally Xiangyang Tang Dynasty city 😊. It often used for filming location in China beside famous Heng dian studios and Xiang Shan studios. My favorite series (the rise of phoenixes) was filming on the Tang city. So when you walk through the city, I can enjoy all of it inside Tang city because it really reminded me of every scene from the series 😅. Good afternoon and happy weekend 😊
Hi, Ling, thanks for your sweet feedback!
Your suggestion and sharings are wonderful!

China's most famous and influential and respected dynasty the next was the Ming and must not forget the greatest The First The First Dynasty The Zhang Chi Huang included the tracottas .
🤘👏
Really? While the T'ang was undeniable in its unique brilliance, it was actually the Sung Dynasty, where Chinese culture matured and received its stamp of singular Chineseness. Painting, ceramics, and Ch'an, (Zen), Buddhism, reached a high level of attainment that was not to be matched afterwards.
hello- homie! Bravo~ excellent ! see you later. :)
Hello, hello, hello!
Creo que se debe resaltar algo que no he visto en casi todos los videos sobre la China actual. En primer lugar, la asistencia masiva de muchos ciudadanos de otras zonas que están valorizando no sólo lo que actualmente están logrando, sino también el que fueron una civilización de 5000 años que aportaron mucho a la humanidad y que occidente trató de destruir. Ojalá no cometan los mismos errores de USA y Europa que hoy son imperios decadentes

Hi, cixi
@@WalkEast hi max!
What we see in japan is the Tang Dynasty influence.
🫡🫡
To a certain extent, yes. Japan holds the title of having the oldest remaing wooden buildings on earth. In Nara, one can view structures which were built during the T'ang Dynasty, and like most historical edifices in Japan, very well maintained. The Horyuji Temple, and the Todaiji Temple,( the largest wooden structure in the world), present a sense of the scale and majestic clarity and balance of T'ang architecture. Buildings of such size were possible because China at one time had forests with large trees, enabling the construction of massive wooden structures. With the subsequent dynasties, buildings actually became smaller. The Daming Palace of the T'ang Dynasty, was of a size much larger and grander the Imperial Palace in Beijing.
China should build more buildings based on traditional Chinese architecture. It'll be so beautiful if the majority of Chinese cities were in these styles.
If only China was the one started the industrial revolution, it could've retained much of the traditional architecture. And the world would be emulating it too.
其实中国每个城市基本都会有古镇，保留了古代的建筑样式，它们都是旅游区。这并不适合现代生活，我们更喜欢现代科技风的居住环境。
Thanks for your support!
