The city has historically been known in China for its wushu (Chinese martial arts) and acrobatics (specifically, the Wu Qiao school).
Cangzhou is also famed for its historic thousand-year-old 40-ton sculpture, the Iron Lion of Cangzhou.
The sculpture is reportedly the largest cast-iron sculpture in the world, cast in 953 in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
 The famed lion has even given its name to a locally brewed beer and is a symbol of the city.

Cangzhou is home to a traditional Chinese form of musical performing arts, Kuaiban Dagu.

The city hosts seven mosques for Muslim adherents (mostly Hui).
One of them, the West Mosque, has collected at its museum one of China's best collections of Islamic manuscripts and artefacts.
