Introduction

Ship-shaped Street, also known as Intangible Cultural Heritage Expo Park, has a huge ship-shaped building inside the park, which is 110 meters long and 60 meters wide in the middle, surrounded by water, like a large ship setting sail, symbolizing "smooth sailing". There are many small boat sculptures and paintings in the park, which overall looks like a giant ship. The central dragon boat sculpture was made by Emperor Qianlong, representing the "water-defying beast", and the giant ship carrying it will not produce waves, making navigation safer. There is also a backstage pavilion for performances on the ship, currently showcasing the local Liuqin Opera, a popular folk drama among the local people.
