    I visited the Governor's Mansion on Saturday. There were quite a few tourists. Even though it's December, the off-season in Baoding, it's not quiet at all. The staff who gave the tour were also very nice, attentive, and responsible. I would definitely choose to come back to Baoding again if I have the chance! And visit the Governor's Mansion again!

    Rugged canyons, gurgling streams, a ray of sky, alpine meadows, hanging gardens, and a sea of ​​clouds. For those with the energy and avid hikers, experience the canyon's depths and coolness.

    It's an absolutely beautiful scenic area. I'd heard Meng Man's explanation before and had always wanted to come, but unfortunately the weather was bad and it rained, so I couldn't see some of the strange rocks clearly. The scenic area is huge; I took all the cable cars I could and walked more than ten kilometers, which was quite a test of my physical strength.

    Impressions of Xiong'an offer a brief glimpse into its past, present, and future. The core impression is that of a future city, a smart city, and an ecological city shouldering a "millennial plan." This is a new city rapidly rising from the farmland of the North China Plain, becoming a central hub for relieving Beijing of its non-capital functions, brimming with innovation and development potential. It's a worthwhile destination to visit with family.

    Before I came here, I thought it was just a check-in. After entering the park and looking around, I was surprised. There are so many things to see in the park. It's very interesting to take a picture of the guide map and follow the map.

    Visit the Tai Mausoleum in the Western Qing Tombs in Baoding. The Tai Mausoleum is the burial site of Emperor Yongzheng and the principal mausoleum of the Western Tombs. Built between 1730 and 1736, it houses the emperor, Empress Xiaojingxian, and Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu. It exemplifies the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty, incorporating traditional feng shui principles, Confucian rituals, and exquisite architectural craftsmanship, embodying the supremacy of imperial power and the Confucian hierarchy. Located at the foot of Yongning Mountain in Yi County, the mausoleum is nestled between the Yongning Mountain to the north and the Yishui River to the south. Surrounded by the Nine Dragon and Nine Phoenix Mountains, it forms a feng shui formation characterized by "a place where heaven and earth gather and yin and yang converge." The Chang Mausoleum of the Jiaqing Emperor is closed due to renovations and is represented by stone statues along its sacred path.

    The 25 yuan ticket price covers almost everything that's been renovated. The all-wood stage is definitely worth seeing, and if you're lucky, you can even get a 10% discount. There are also many interactive highlights for children.

    Stepping into Baiyangdian, it's like entering a water town dream forgotten by time. The sun shines on the water, sparkling, and the reeds in the distance are like a green ocean. The breeze blows, and the reeds rustle, playing the music of nature. Sitting in a small boat and shuttling through it, you can see small fish and shrimps swimming in the clear lake water, and occasionally startle one or two water birds, flapping their wings and flying away. Every bay and every lotus leaf here is full of poetry, which makes people intoxicated. The most unforgettable thing is the experience of going to Yedian. I contacted the boss in advance, and the boatman he arranged was enthusiastic and practical. Not only did he take us to appreciate the most beautiful scenery, but he also helped the children pick the lotus pods they had been thinking about. Lunch was at a local restaurant that had been open for 19 years, and we tasted the special food of Baiyangdian. The crayfish was tasty, and the lotus leaf egg pancakes were also unique. Baiyangdian, without the hustle and bustle of the city, gave me a feast for the soul with its simple water village scenery, allowing me to truly feel the gentleness and beauty of nature.

    On my second day in Baoding, I visited Langya Mountain, a mountain famous for its heroes. However, I was truly awestruck by the breathtaking scenery of Langya Mountain. Standing atop the summit, surrounded by mountains shrouded in mist, it was like a fairyland, yet so real. This is the land our martyrs vowed to protect with their lives. A salute to the heroes, a condemnation of the invaders!
