Hulu Village

Huludao is called thus because of not the connection with Hulu Culture but its peninsula shaped exactly like the gourd. But the city has grasped the opportunity and vigorously promoted Hulu-related culture. Hulu Ancient Town, Hulu Association and Hulu Cultural Festival have earned the city a good reputation around the country. After the in-depth exploration of Hulu culture for many years, Huludao has promoted innovative development by integrating culture and tourism. Notably, it was recognized as "China's Home of Hulu Culture" in 2009.

Hulu Ancient Town has two state-level museums, namely Chinese Hulu Culture Museum and Chinese Northeast Folk Custom Museum. They are an indispensable part of the cultural signature tours here. The former has, as the state-level themed museum of Hulu Culture, collected more than 3,000 various precious gourd items at home and abroad. The exhibits are mostly the gourds growing in nature but also include gourd-shaped tools, life necessities and ornaments made of gold, silver, copper, iron, tin and jade. Besides, the diverse calligraphic works and paintings centered on the gourd have vividly presented Hulu Culture.
