Project Overview
The Zhoucun Ancient Commercial City scenic area is located in Zhoucun District, Zibo City, Shandong Province. The Zhouc Ancient Commercial City is also known as the “Big Street”. The main road of Shandong, the Jiqing Expressway, has a Zhoucun exit, National Road 309 bypasses the city, making the transportation extremely convenient. It is known as “Dry Dock”, “Golden Zhoucun”,Silk Capital”, and “The First Village in the World”. It is now a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit, a national AAAA-level tourist, and is listed as a key development area of “Cultural History and Folk Customs” tourism area in Shandong Province in the “Shandong Province Tourism Development General”.
The Zhoucun Ancient Commercial City extends from Xincheng Road in the north, to Baoguan Street in the east, to Cotton Market Street in south, and to Nanxi River Street in the west.
Ancient architecture is non-renewable and must be protected reliably before modern lighting design and implementation can be. Therefore, different requirements from general night scene lighting are put forward for the lighting of ancient architecture.
A hundred-year-old ancient commercial city, a colorful new world Through the lighting plan, the historical civilization and modern atmosphere of the ancient commercial city are reflected. The dialogue between ancient and modern times is realized.
The lighting design considers the between various areas and determines the color temperature of the lighting based on the building attributes: Warm light of 2200K to 3300K; Cold light 5000K to 8000K.

Memorial Arch Lighting
This project embodies our Cultural tourism lighting planning and design for a traditional memorial arch. We applied refined architectural lighting design to highlight its painted details and roof contours, paired with soft floodlighting design for the pillars. Outdoor lighting design illuminates surrounding vegetation, while the cohesive lighting design preserves cultural charm—crafting an immersive nocturnal entry for cultural tourism.
Traditional Pavilion Lighting
For this traditional pavilion, our Cultural tourism lighting planning and design integrates architectural lighting design (to accent its roof ridges and window frames) and layered floodlighting design (to enhance facade depth). Outdoor lighting design softens surrounding tree illumination, and the tailored lighting design balances traditional aesthetic with nighttime visibility—elevating its appeal as a cultural tourism landmark.
Ancient Stage Lighting
This ancient stage showcases our Cultural tourism lighting planning and design: we used architectural lighting design to highlight its roof and red curtain details, paired with subtle floodlighting design for the stage base. Outdoor lighting design illuminates the open square, while the lighting design merges heritage ambiance with functional illumination—creating a captivating space for cultural tourism activities.
Historic Alley Lighting
For this historic alley, our Cultural tourism lighting planning and design employs architectural lighting design (to accent eaves and lanterns) and gentle floodlighting design (to soften brick wall textures). Outdoor lighting design ensures walkway safety, and the cohesive lighting design blends traditional charm with modern usability—turning the alley into a immersive cultural tourism route.
Traditional Lane Lighting
This traditional lane features our Cultural tourism lighting planning and design: we applied architectural lighting design to highlight door frames and signage, paired with warm floodlighting design for facade details. Outdoor lighting design guides pedestrian flow, while the lighting design merges traditional lantern elements with ambient glow—crafting a cozy cultural tourism experience.
Arch-Bridge Complex Lighting
This arch-bridge complex reflects our Cultural tourism lighting planning and design: we used architectural lighting design to accent the arch’s roof and carvings, paired with floodlighting design for bridge railings. Outdoor lighting design syncs with distant traditional buildings, and the lighting design merges grandeur with cultural charm—creating a striking entry for cultural tourism areas.
Traditional Courtyard Lighting
For this traditional courtyard, our Cultural tourism lighting planning and design integrates architectural lighting design (to highlight roof edges and window grids) and soft floodlighting design (to enhance facade layers). Outdoor lighting design illuminates the courtyard square, while the lighting design balances warm ambiance with cultural heritage—crafting a welcoming space for cultural tourism leisure.
