Tuoba Style Experience
Visitors to travel through the interwoven reality and virtuality of a thousand years of prosperity.
Project positioning
A thousand-year-old capital embarks on a new journey along the Silk Road.
TuobaCity, commanding a position within the ancient city walls of Datong, Shanxi Province, China, at Qingyuan Gate, is a comprehensive cultural tourism complex that immerses visitors in a holistic experience. Rooted in the Xianbei culture of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it profoundly integrates history, competitive sports, and commerce. The project aims to establish a new cultural landmark where past and present converge, creating a vibrant new realm for consumption. It aspires to become an international benchmark for innovative cultural tourism integration, responding to the Belt and Road Initiative.
Cultural foundations
The project is rooted in the profound historical soil of Datong, the ancient capital of the Northern Wei dynasty spanning millennia. Drawing inspiration from the Xianbei Tuoba culture as its soul and employing the official language of the Northern Wei (Datong dialect) as its unique medium, it focuses on the transmission of civilization and aesthetic expression. Through innovative recreations of Northern Wei art, attire, calligraphy and ornamentation, we are dedicated to safeguarding the diverse and integrated cultural roots of Chinese civilization, reviving the splendid splendour of the ‘Marvelous Realm of Pingcheng’.
Outdoor "Tuoba City International Bazaar"
Taking the cultural integration and trade exchanges of the Northern Wei period as its historical backdrop, it features 52 permanent national cultural and tourism commodity pavilions and 36 temporary shops, reviving the prosperity of the “Datong International Bazaar of a united world, a Millennium of Flourishing Exchange” from 1,600 years ago. Foreign cultural and commodity institutions operating in China are welcomed to establish a presence through a free-construction model, with foreign merchants maintaining independent operation. In the spirit of cultural integration, it establishes the Tuoba Customs Stage, where performances by different ethnic groups take turns, showcasing global cultural charms. Through cultural and tourism innovation, it stages performances of "Opening the City at Dawn, Lighting Lanterns at Dusk, and Closing with Prayers of Blessing," open to tourists free of charge throughout the day.
- Scale: Covering an area of 5,000 square metres, it features 52 permanent national cultural and tourism product pavilions alongside 36 temporary retail outlets.
