Introduction to the front hall gate: The front hall gate is located in front of the main gate square and is the first scenery line for tourists entering the scenic spot. The design of the front hall door is an original ecological type, facing west and east, and is made of 7 huge maoqingshi strips with a total height of 5.3 meters. The bluestone strip lying across the top weighs 32 tons, is 10 meters long, and is 1 meter wide and thick. It is engraved with six large gold-plated characters "Five Thousand Years Cultural Expo Park" inscribed by He Jingzhi, a leading contemporary Chinese poet and former vice minister of the Ministry of Culture. "National Cultural Industry Demonstration Base" is engraved vertically on the right side of the bluestone; "Chinese Cultural Theme Park" is engraved vertically on the left side. The left and right bluestone strips both weigh 8 tons. A pair of stone lions in front of the hall are 3.54 meters high. The male lion is on the left and plays with a hydrangea in his right paw, symbolizing the unification of the world and supreme power. The female lion is on the right, teasing the lion cub with her left paw, which symbolizes the prosperity of her descendants and the continuous reproduction. There are also two marble feng shui wheels built in front of the house to attract wealth, which means "good wind and smooth water" and "health and wealth will roll in".
