    This ancient city is located in the ancient city of Taierzhuang, Taierzhuang District, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, covering an area of about 2 square kilometers, with 8 scenic spots and 29 scenic spots, and is also called "a living ancient canal" by the World Tourism Organization. Speaking of the history of the ancient city, it can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, when it was subordinate to Xu, Qiyang and other countries, and later became a place of dispute among various vassal states.

    During the Tang Dynasty, the Tai family built a village here and named it Taierzhuang, so that Taierzhuang began to take shape and began to embark on its road of development. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to the diversion of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Taierzhuang soon ushered in the prosperity of the advantages of river transportation, Qianlong also visited here, and later Taierzhuang also won the reputation of "the first village in the world" given by Qianlong.

    In 1647 AD, Taierzhuang began to build an earthen city according to the trend of the canal, which took one year to complete. After 200 years, the ancient city of Taierzhuang began to be built on a large scale, with various buildings, streets, ports and wharves built in the city, and there were more than 5,000 residents and more than 20,000 houses. An ancient city of this magnitude now seems to be indeed huge.

    But regrettably, in 1938, due to the Battle of Taierzhuang, this ancient city with a history of thousands of years ceased to exist.

    In 2008, Zaozhuang City announced the start of the reconstruction of the ancient city of Taierzhuang, and also set up a rescue agency for the ancient city, striving to collect historical information about the ancient city, and restore the original historical appearance of the ancient city to the greatest extent. The reconstruction has a total investment of 7.2 billion yuan, covering an area of 3,000 acres, becoming the largest ancient city in China.

    The ancient city of Taierzhuang has a special geographical location, located in the core area of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, where an endless stream of literati and businessmen gathered in ancient times, and over time, it has become a holy place for cultural exchanges and exchanges between the north and the south. Many tourists come to the ancient city like to take a boat tour, through the water streets to admire the various buildings of the ancient city, wandering in the ancient city, obviously can feel the noise and prosperity of the ancient city in the Ming and Qing dynasties, as if they have returned to that period of history.
