The Shang Capital is the most eye-catching cultural symbol of Zhengzhou.

“商都”，是郑州这座城市最醒目的文化标识。

The reason why Zhengzhou is called the Shang Capital is that Emperor Tang of the Shang Dynasty built Bodu, the dynasty's first capital, 3,600 years ago here. Large and majestic, the old city's wall still stands in the old district of Zhengzhou.

郑州之所以叫商都，皆因3600年前商汤在这里建立了商代第一个都城——亳都，它规模宏大、气势磅礴，至今古老城垣仍屹立于郑州老城区。

If you start an exploration of Zhengzhou, the natives may advise you to visit the old city wall in Guancheng Hui District. The 7-kilometer city wall of the Shang Dynasty tells the history of Zhengzhou. As the location of the Shang Dynasty capital, Guancheng Hui District has been home to continuous cultural development for thousands of years. The majestic city wall of the Shang Dynasty is why Zhengzhou has been selected as one of the eight ancient capitals in China, which signifies the original roots of Zhengzhou.

探访古都，老郑州人一定会告诉你：“来郑州，一定要去趟管城；去管城，肯定得转转老城墙。7公里长的商代古城墙，一根能挑起郑州历史的扁担。”管城区作为商代都城遗址所在地，数千年来，文脉不断、烟火不息，巍然屹立的商代古城垣，是郑州入选全国八大古都的重要佐证，更是郑州根之所系、魂之所属。

In June 2023, the Zhengzhou Shang Dynasty Capital National Archaeological Site Park was officially unveiled. The Park includes the city wall ruins above ground and an underground archaeological site. On the grounds are green spaces and the Zhengzhou Shang Dynasty Capital Site Museum, which offer a platform for people to experience culture, education, and leisure activities. It coordinates and harmonizes the protection of city wall sites, the construction of archaeological sites, and the development of urban life.

2023年6月，郑州商城国家考古遗址公园正式揭牌。地上城墙遗址、地下考古遗址、遗址上的公园绿地，以及郑州商都遗址博物院等文化遗址空间共同组成一座集文化体验、教育休闲为一体的“园中城·城中园”——国家考古遗址公园，实现了城垣遗址保护、考古遗址公园建设与中心城区城市生活和谐交融。

If you are aware of where you are from, you will know where you are going. In the Zhengzhou Shang Dynasty Capital National Archaeological Site Park, the well-preserved Shang Dynasty city wall tells how Zhengzhou developed through its longitudinal section. The layers of rammed earth are like growth rings, showing how Zhengzhou developed from the Shang Dynasty into the modern international metropolis of today, through the Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. This records the development of the capital site, Guancheng Hui District, and Zhengzhou.

知所从来，方明所往。在郑州商城国家考古遗址公园中，近观保存完好的郑州商代城墙纵剖面，层层夯土犹如城市年轮，清晰展示着商、周、秦、汉、唐、宋、元、明、清一直“蝶变”为现代化国际大都市的各个时期。一层层夯土，记录着商城、管城、郑州的生长密码。

走进巍峨矗立的郑州商都遗址博物院，“巍巍亳都王都典范——郑州商代都城文明展”上，代表早商文明发展高度的青铜器、玉器、骨器、陶器等文物1000余件，向世人展示出亳都作为当时最大、最繁荣的政治经济文化中心的辉煌盛景。

Here, tourists can learn the history of the heritage sites through reading, a study tour, and admiring the scenery. Apart from the Zhengzhou Shang Palace Archaeological Center, the Zhengzhou Shang Dynasty East Wall Ruins Museum, the Zhengzhou Shang Dynasty Capital Site Museum, the Zhengzhou Shang Dynasty Capital National Archaeological Site Park, and the Zhengzhou Shang Dynasty Inner Wall Ruins, visitors can also visit the Zhengzhou God Temple and the Zhengzhou Confucian Temple, learning about the deep history of Zhengzhou.

It has conducted 130 projects with a total investment of about 110 billion yuan, striving to make it smarter, more livable, and more resilient. At the same time, it is implementing urban renewal projects to accelerate the transformation and revitalization of the old urban zone. By actively introducing new industries, new business formats, and new development models, it is working to bring new economic forces to drive momentum towards the modernization of Zhengzhou as a national central city.
