Lahijan has a mix of
Lahijan has a mix of traditional and modern architecture. The city, which has an Iranian-European urban structure, lies on the northern slope of the Alborz Mountains. Its culture and favourable climatic condition have made Lahijan a major tourist hub in northern Iran. The city is basically founded on the sediments remaining from big rivers in Gilan, including the Sepid/Sefid-Rud (White River). Historically, the city was the major business center and the capital of East Gilan during the time of special rulers. Lahijan has also been a tourism hub of the Islamic world during different eras in Iran's history.
In ancient times, Gilan region was divided between 'the Caspian' and 'the Golha' (flowers) sub-regions. Before Iran's provincial divisions into the current state, Gilan was divided by the Sefid-Rud River into eastern and western regions. The river's eastern side was called Biehpish, and the western side was called Biehpas. At some point in time, Lahijan became the capital of Biehpish. This region has been one of Iran's major silk-producing centers as well as the country's first area for the tea-plantation set out by Prince Mohammad Mirza.
Prince Mohammad Mirza, known as "Kashef-ol-Saltaneh," was the first mayor of Tehran. As the Iranian ambassador to India under British rule, he knew the British would not allow him to learn about the secrets of tea production, as it was their biggest business in India at the time. So being fluent in French, the prince pretended to be a French laborer and started to work in the tea plantations and factories to learn how to produce tea. Ultimately his plan was to take back some samples of this tea to Iran to cultivate. He was successful in this endeavor only because of his diplomatic immunity which stopped the British from searching his secretly stashed sample. His mausoleum in Lahijan is now part of the "Iran Tea Museum".
The foundation of Lahijan is attributed to 'Lahij Ebne Saam'. Oljaito, the Mongol ruler conquered Lahijan in 705 AH. Then Amir Teimoor attacked this region. Finally, Shah Abbas I defeated 'Khan Ahmad' and thereafter the Safavid governors ruled this city. Some events in the history of this city include: An outbreak of plague in 703, the conflagration of 850, and the occupation of Lahijan by the Russian army in June 1725.Lahijan was one of the main bases of the Jungle Movement.
The history of tea in Iran starts at the end of the 15th century. Before that coffee was the main beverage in Iran. However, most of the coffee producing countries were located far from Iran, making shipping very difficult. With a major tea producing country, China, located on a nearby trading path, "the silk road", the shipping of tea was much easier. This was the main reason that, over time, tea became much more popular in Iran. As a result, the demand for tea grew, and the more tea was consumed, the larger the volume of imports had to be in order to match the consumption.

Lahijan's cookies (Kulucheh) are well-known and sold all across the world. Culucheh is a traditional Persian-style filled cookie. It has a shell that encrusts a soft filling. The filling comes in a variety of flavors including cocoa, walnut, and coconut. For centuries, these types of cookies have been produced in Gilan using traditional methods. Noosheen, Grand naderi, Naderi, Nadi and Peyman brands are four famous cookie producers in Lahijan.
Lahijan Pool
In the eastern part of Lahijan and at peak of the mountain, green and covered with bush is the area called Sheitankuh. In the past, it was called Shahneshin. There is a large pool with an area of 17 hectares and a depth of 4 meters in the reservoir water to irrigate rice fields. It is fed by the water flowing from the mountain. There is a beauty in the middle of the lake (in the past it was called "between the backs") which is attached to the south edge with a long concrete bridge. The length of this pool is about 2 km, which is located next to a beautiful boulevard and surrounds the pool all around. It is one of the most important sightseeing and entertainment centers. It is said that this pool was built by the order of Shah Abbas Safavid and in the part of its island, a huge palace for itself to be inhabited when it comes to Lahijan. At present, no trace of the building remains.
