Urban Area of Chongzhou

During holidays, the Yanhuachi Museum in Chongzhou becomes a hotspot, beloved by both locals and tourists. The organic renewal of the Yanhuachi Historic and Cultural District is not just about architectural revival but also the continuation of cultural heritage. From tea arts of Tang and Song to intangible cultural heritage crafts, from ancient courtyards to new consumer spaces, the district is writing a vibrant chapter of "revitalizing old streets."

In its urban renewal projects, Chongzhou prioritizes the preservation of historical culture, continuously restoring and upgrading its historic districts. So far, key projects in the Yanhuachi Historic and Cultural District, including Yanhua East Court, the Wu Family Residence, and the Catholic Church, have been completed.

Aligned with the central government’s emphasis on "cultural continuity," Chongzhou is striving to promote the restoration, protection and utilization of historical buildings. The city has officially recognized and completed the listing of 32 historical buildings. Among them, No.216 Courtyard on Zhengdong Street and Xingtan Nunnery have been fully restored. Meanwhile, digital management systems of historical buildings have been explored to achieve 24-hour real-time monitoring.

Central Park, Chongzhou

In Chongzhou, the sound of ancient house renovations resonates with the beep of mobile payments. The songs and laughter in the park echo for a long time. The answer to urban renewal lies in these details. A “city for the people” is not defined by its size but by the warmth of every pavement stone, the destiny of every raindrop, and the smiles behind every carved window. This thousand-year-old town, with the resolve of “not pursuing grandness or speed”, is making a happy and livable life for its people.
