Donggucheng Ruins Ecological Culture Park is the first site-type ecological cultural park in Zhongmu County, Zhengzhou City. It is located in Donggucheng Village, Hansi Town, 11 kilometers southeast of the county, covering an area of 108 mu.

The East Ancient City was built in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It was the place where Zheng Guo made musical instruments in the Spring and Autumn Period. Regarding the origin of Konghou City, there is a record in "Taiping Huanyu Ji": "Konghou City is 20 miles southeast of Zhongmu County, and Shiyan built the Konghou here to delight Duke Ling". The Duke Ling mentioned here is Duke Ling of Wei (540 BC - 493 BC), which is generally considered to be the city of Konghou built in this period. In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, it was called Qu Yucheng. "Historical Records" and "Han Books" recorded: "Fighting Qu Yudong again and breaking it. Yang Xiong went to Xingyang." In "Suo Yin", Xu Guangyun: "In Zhongmu". Wei Zhaoyun: "Ambition is not carried." Sima Biao recorded in the "Country and Country Records": "Zhongmu has a song and a meeting."
