Many ancient towns all look pretty much the same. But when you step into the Tongmeng Ancient Town in Xinxiang, you\u2019ll find it\u2019s quite different\u2014it\u2019s not just about \u201ccreating a scene,\u201d but about bringing daily life, industry, and people together in the same space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, led by Mr. Fan Ziping of the Zhongyuan Association in Singapore, a delegation of the association\u2019s presidents visited Tongmeng Ancient Town to gain firsthand insight into the overall planning and operational model of this cultural tourism project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At First Glance | It feels more like a \u201ccomplete project\u201d than a single tourist attraction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tongmeng Ancient Town is a large-scale project: it covers approximately 2,000 mu and involves a total investment of about 10 billion yuan. The project is not merely a tourism venture; rather, it is divided into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  •  Core Tourist Area<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  •  Bed and Breakfast Area <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  •  Retirement Resort <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  •  Artists' Village <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s more like a \u201cmulti-faceted cultural and tourism town.\u201d As you walk through it, you\u2019ll clearly sense that it\u2019s not just a place to \u201clook around,\u201d but one designed for \u201cstaying\u201d and \u201creturning time and again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Core Area | Not Just a Shopping Street, but a \u201cLifestyle Destination\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The core tourist area covers approximately 500 mu and has a total investment of 800 million yuan. It offers a wide variety of attractions, including food stalls, workshops, folk culture experiences, restaurants, cafes, and displays of intangible cultural heritage. However, what sets it apart from ordinary tourist attractions is its commitment to recreating an authentic \u201cway of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Many of the shops are run with the help of local villagers <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Some shop owners live right in the courtyard <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      People live here\u2014they don\u2019t just do business\u2014and that\u2019s what makes the whole space feel more \u201cauthentic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What's Interesting | Not Retro, but \u201cReorganization\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Most of the buildings in the ancient town are replicas of traditional dwellings from various parts of Henan Province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The blue-gray bricks, gray tiles, and courtyard layout all preserve the traditional style of Central China. But this isn\u2019t a simple replication; instead, it achieves something far more challenging: recombining these elements to make them suitable for modern use. You can explore, stay, dine, or simply relax here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A Closer Look | It\u2019s Actually Building an \u201cIndustry\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Tongmeng Ancient Town is more than just a tourist attraction. The logic behind it is: attract visitors through tourism \u2192 build connections through products \u2192 and foster repeat business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Agricultural and livestock products<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Local Specialty Foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Local Cultural Experiences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The goal is to encourage tourists to return, fostering a \u201crepeat business\u201d relationship. Behind this lies the concept of integrating the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Operating Model | Centralized Management to Ensure Consistency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        A key point is that the core areas are retained by the company and managed under a unified operational framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The advantage of doing this is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Consistent style <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Quality is under control <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • It\u2019s not easy to get \u201cmessy\u201d <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          This is also the common logic behind many successful cultural and tourism projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Looking further up | Behind it all is a seasoned industry operations team<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          The developer of Tongmeng Ancient Town is Futong Holding Group, a company that specializes in industrial park development, investment promotion, and operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          To date, the company has managed industrial parks covering a total area of over 3 million square meters and served more than 3,000 enterprises. In other words, it applies an \u201cindustrial development approach\u201d to cultural and tourism projects. This is what makes this project particularly unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          A simple explanation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          While many ancient towns are essentially \u201ctourist attractions,\u201d Tongmeng Ancient Town is more like a \u201clifestyle project\u201d designed for long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
