China News Service, Jingzhou, October 2 (Wang Daling, Sun Ying, Chen Xinyu) Chucheng Cultural Tourism Resort in Jingzhou, Hubei officially opened on October 1. Holding the "Book of Happy Events" in hand, tourists transformed into "Happy Guests of Chu" and immersed themselves in experiencing the thousand-year Jingfeng and Chu charm.
Stepping into the city of Chu, Chu-style ancient buildings are arranged at random, chime bells and elegant music reverberate gracefully, and the customs of Jingchu are hidden in every scene. With their tickets, tourists can receive a "Happiness in Chucheng" wedding package, which contains wedding coupons and Xiangying coupons, which can be used to exchange for wedding coupons, deduct consumption, and exchange for banknotes. As the country's first Chu culture happy event themed scenic spot, Chu City breaks the traditional tourism model and takes "Chu happy events" as the core experience. It strings together the traditional happy event customs of Jingchu land such as Zhou Zhou, hairpin hairpin, weak crown, and housewarming, and cleverly integrates them into the tour route. When visiting the garden during the day, the entire Chu city is like a long scroll of Chu wind that can be traveled, admired and participated in.
"You can not only check in and take photos, interact with NPCs, but also feel the wind and charm of Chu. This is the right place!" Li Qiqi, a tourist from Chongqing, and her family came to Jingzhou, Hubei during the National Day holiday, and their first stop was Chucheng. She said that she had only read about Chu culture in books before, but now that she has visited the park in person, she can truly feel the unique charm of Chu culture.
Between the streets and alleys, there are Chucheng Intangible Cultural Heritage Living Room and Chupao Pavilion. Thousand-year-old intangible cultural heritage is coming to life before your eyes. In the Chucheng Intangible Cultural Heritage Living Room, Zhou Jianshi, former associate professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University and director of the Lacquer Art Committee of the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Association, stopped to take a closer look at the exhibits and picked up his mobile phone to record them from time to time. He was very interested in Jingchu culture and visited Jingzhou many times. He often visited the Jingzhou Museum to view ancient lacquerware cultural relics. On the first day of Chucheng's opening, he made a special trip here. Talking about the "Chu Palace Wedding Banquet" he experienced, he repeatedly praised: "The show is very exciting, vividly showing the prosperity of King Chuzhuang's period." He hopes that Jingchu culture can be seen by more people.
Walking along the street, the aroma of Jingchu delicacies lingers. More than 30 local specialty snacks are spread out at random. The fragrant aroma of Wuyi Road rice noodles, public security pot helmets, etc. attracts tourists to stop and taste. Special programs continue to be performed on theme stages along the street. Visitors can sit back and listen to music, watch operas and drink tea, and experience the Jingchu customs amid the fireworks. After strolling through the streets and alleys, you can also go to a grand banquet - the Chu Palace Wedding Banquet. It is built in accordance with the banquet system of the king of Chu. It restores the solemn ritual of happy events in the Chu Palace through the sound of chimes, the procession of ceremonial guards, and the presentation of gifts and the opening of the banquet. While watching the palace ceremony, tourists can also taste nine Jingchu delicacies.
As dusk fell, Chucheng ushered in a different atmosphere, and three major theme shows were staged one after another. The sound and light show of the King of Chu ordered his troops to make a stunning appearance, with rumbling war drums and hunting flags, using modern light and shadow to reproduce the King of Chu's ambition to open up mountains and rivers and fight against enemies; the Lady Peach Blossom Fireworks Show blended fireworks with real scenes to tell the touching legend of Chu; the Yunmeng Dreamland Light and Shadow Show relied on fog and laser projection to unfold the majestic epic of Yunmengze in the countryside, attracting tourists' admiration.
"You can see and feel the ancient charm of thousands of years, as if you have traveled back to Chu State!" Hou Jiejie, a tourist from Yichang, and his family visited Chu City immersively during the day and watched the light and shadow show at night. They were deeply impressed. In his opinion, Chu culture is presented in such a vivid and vivid form, which gives people a refreshing feeling. A dream into Chu City, a glance that spans a thousand years. The city of Chu is full of joyful songs and is waiting for tourists from all over the world to come to find the charm of Chu, feel happy and enjoy the splendor of Chu.
