Jiuzhou Pond
隋唐洛阳城九洲池
An imperial pond garden inside the palace city of Sui-Tang Luoyang, with Tang-style pavilions and waterside corridors rebuilt on the original site. It is especially beautiful at night.
Jiuzhou Pond is the imperial garden pond in the northwest of the palace city of Sui-Tang Luoyang. Nine islands in the pond symbolize the 'Nine Regions' (jiuzhou), and Tang emperors once went boating and held banquets here. Based on archaeological findings, the heritage park has rebuilt the pond banks, islands and some halls, including Tang-style buildings, zigzag bridges and waterside corridors. At night the lights reflect on the water, and Tang-style performances and visitors in hanfu are common, making it a popular spot for 'Tang Dynasty night views'. Admission is about RMB 60, often sold as a combined ticket with Yingtian Gate and Mingtang and Tiantang. It is northwest of Yingtian Gate and can easily be walked as part of a route.
