Yishui Lake is located 30 kilometers southwest of Yixian County in Baoding. It is an artificial lake built in the 1950s by taking advantage of the surrounding towering mountains. The water surface area is 27 square kilometers, and the depth can reach 48.5 meters. It meets the national second-level water quality standard. The south side of the lake is connected to Langya Mountain, the north side is Zijingguan, the west side is Wufengzhai with an altitude of 1283 meters, and the east side is Jiulong Mountain. Yishui Lake locks the water in the upper reaches of Yishui River and collects it to form a lake. The water quality is clear and pure. The surrounding environment of Yishui Lake is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. Since it was opened as a tourist scenic spot in the 1990s, it has been known as the "Little Guilin in the North" because its scenery is comparable to that of the Li River.Yi County · 25.3 km from downtown

Langya (Wolf's Tooth) Mountain is located in Baoding in the western part of Yi County. It is part of the Taihang Mountain range and is some 45 kilometers away from Yi Town. This mountain is dangerously steep. It gets its name because its peak is so sharp and pointy, resembling the tooth of a wolf. Langya Mountain has borne witness to many of history's tales and legends, among which, the tragic story of five Eighth Route Army soldiers who sacrificed their lives in a bloody battle against the Japanese. Visitors who come to Langya Mountain these days will find themselves faced with a majestic mountain landscape full of trees. While they are here, they can also take the opportunity to remember the five brave martyrs who sacrificed themselves defending their homeland.Yi County · 36.6 km from downtown

The Forbidden City, also known as the Imperial Palace, was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is also the symbol of ancient China. When you are in the majestic and orderly high walls and deep courtyards, you can truly feel its former glory. ▲The long history has left behind large-scale precious buildings and countless cultural relics, which have also become the main attraction of visiting the Forbidden City today. ▲Classic attractions: The Forbidden City Corner Tower is a polygonal building with a convex plane on all four sides. It is located in Dongcheng District, Beijing. The roof has three layers. The upper layer is a hip roof with vertical and horizontal intersections. It is composed of a gable roof with flowing water on two slopes and a hip roof with four slopes. Because there are nine main ridges on this roof, it is called the Nine-ridge Hall. ▲Sundials are divided into two types according to their installation principle: equatorial and horizontal. The sundial installed using the equatorial principle is called an equatorial sundial. The key points of its production are that it must have a time plate, a latitude arc and a gnomon. When operating, the time plate must be parallel to the equatorial plane of the earth, the gnomon must be in the same direction as the earth's axis, and the shadow cast by the gnomon on the gnomon is the desired time. ▲The Treasure House is located in the Ningshou Palace area. It has a rich collection of treasures, including Buddhist supplies, ornaments, daily utensils, and treasures for appreciation. Among them, the red coral lion about 14 cm high, the Dongzhu court beads about 130 cm long, and the gold "Fengtianzhibao" seal are all rare treasures. ▲The Clock and Watch Museum is located in the Fengxian Hall in the palace. Most of the clocks on display are British products, but there are also clocks from other countries such as France and Switzerland. In addition to the timing function, these clocks are decorated with figures, birds, beasts, flowers, etc., which can also make various different movements. They are very delicately made. Among them, the copper-plated gilded writing clock, the copper-plated gilded enamel gourd-top fishing and woodcutting farming clock, and the copper-plated gilded rotating flower running man rhinoceros carrying clock are very rare.Beijing · 99.7 km from Yi County

Badaling Great Wall

Badaling Great Wall

4.7/5
63.1k reviews
The Badaling Great Wall is renowned as one of the Nine Strategic Passes under heaven, combining majestic cliffs with picturesque greenery to form the most spectacular section of the Ming Dynasty fortifications. Living up to the Chinese saying "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true hero," this remains the premier choice for most Chinese visitors to experience the Wall. The fortress gate exhibits a trapezoidal shape, narrower on the east and wider on the west, featuring two gate towers. The eastern arch bears the inscription "Juyong Waizhen" (Frontier Town of Juyong), while the western gate displays "Beimen Suoyue" (Key to the Northern Gate). North of the fortress stretches the 12-tower Northern Wall section, while to the south lies the less crowded Southern Wall with 7 watchtowers. If time permits, we recommend exploring the Southern Wall first before tackling the more popular Northern section. ▲Walk Through Six Centuries of Golden History: A Visual Feast of Vermilion Foliage Blanketing the Great Wall ▲ As night descends, the Badaling Great Wall transforms into a gilded dragon winding through shadowed peaks, its illuminated battlements whispering tales of millennia - where imperial splendor meets enduring mystery beneath constellations of golden light. ▲Cloaked in winter's crystalline mantle, the Badaling Great Wall becomes a silver serpent coiled between snow-draped peaks, its ancient stones gilded by dawn's golden raysChina · Beijing

Zijing Pass is one of the gates of the Great Wall. It is located on the Zijing Ridge, 40 kilometers west of Yixian City. It is one of the main routes from Hebei Plain to Taihang Mountain. There is a danger of "one husband is in charge, ten thousand husbands are not in front". In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was called Wuruanguan, also known as Puyinxing, and it was listed as the seventh of the eight imperial echelons of Taihang. Zijingguan consists of five small cities: Xiaojincheng on the north bank of Juma River, Guancheng on the south bank, Xiaopanshicheng, Qifengkou City and Guanzuoling City. It is located between Juyongguan and Daomaguan, and together with Juyong and Daomaguan, it is called "Inner Three Passes". Most of the existing buildings are Ming Dynasty buildings. There are four gates of Zijingguan in the original pass, and the two north and south gates are the main traffic routes. The north gate has "Bauhinia Pass" and "River and Mountain Belt", and the south gate has the plaque of "Zisai Golden City", all of which are written and engraved in Wanli. There are walls on the east, west and south sides of Guancheng. The north wall faces the Juma River and is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The situation is dangerous and it is a military important place. Its north gate and north city wall are built with large blocks of stone, and the construction level is superb, which is rare among similar buildings in China.Yi County · 29.3 km from downtown

Yishui Lake Scenic Area is beautiful. You need to take a boat to Laozi Peak. The road conditions are good, and you don't need to exert too much physical effort. Along the way, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Laozi Peak and Yishui Lake. The water of Yishui Lake is green. The photos are unfiltered. There are several photo spots along the way to Laozi Peak, perfect for taking pictures. After visiting Yishui Lake, take a boat back to the dock. You can visit Yishui Lake and Taihang Water Town together, and stay overnight in Taihang Water Town for a fulfilling trip.

Driving to Yi County, Baoding to visit the Western Qing Tombs was a truly unexpected and delightful experience! Compared to the Eastern Qing Tombs, it was much less crowded, and the entire area was surrounded by ancient pine trees, creating a tranquil and atmospheric ambiance. The Western Qing Tombs are the final resting place of four emperors: Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Guangxu. The tombs are quite far apart, making a drive the most convenient option. Each tomb has parking available with a single payment. A few must-see spots: The Tai Mausoleum, Yongzheng's tomb, features three particularly grand stone archways and a long spirit path.

The scenery was beautiful, and since we avoided the May Day holiday, it wasn't crowded. The mountain was very steep, and it was quite tiring. The cable car was expensive, and it didn't slow down when getting on and off, which was unsafe; I hope this can be improved. The Five Heroes Memorial Tower is majestic and awe-inspiring; we remember and pay tribute to the martyrs.

I went during the day; it's very close from Yishui Lake. I imagine it'll be more lively at night, somewhat similar to Hetou Old Street in Tangshan, but not as bustling. It's still a good place for a stroll.

It's great value for money, with several good photo spots, making it a worthwhile experience. I had a lot of fun taking pictures here. Other tourist attractions I've visited only have one or two small waterfalls at most, but this one is much better.

You can expect crowds even before visiting, but the Forbidden City is so massive and impressive that they don’t really get in the way of exploring the place. That said, I’d definitely recommend getting a guide if you don’t know much about its history beforehand.I originally had no plans to hire a guide, but I forgot to book my tickets through the museum’s official website (you have to keep in mind that there’s a daily visitor limit), so I ended up going for a ticket that included a small-group tour. Our guide was a lovely lady who clearly knew her stuff and was more than happy to answer any questions the group had.Sure, you could argue that the complex would be even more interesting if it had more everyday objects on display, but as someone who’s really into ancient historical sites, most of which are little more than piles of rubble, I was more than happy with what the Forbidden City had to offer.All in all, I’d say it’s an absolute must-see for anyone visiting Beijing!
