    The Huangcheng Xiangfu (Imperial City Prime Minister's Residence) is a 5A-level scenic spot worth visiting. Its grand scale integrates defensive and residential functions, with a clever layout and exquisite brick and wood carvings throughout, showcasing a rich cultural heritage. The scenic area also offers a variety of live performances, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in history. However, it also has drawbacks such as a long parking area and excessive commercialization in some areas.

    Perhaps because we went in winter, there weren't many people, and the mountains were all gray. The small waterfalls at Peach Blossom Pool were quite nice; walking down the steps took a little over an hour, which was acceptable. The glass walkway and the viewing platform at Dream Valley each cost 50 yuan per person, but they both seemed to be closed today. The first driver of the minibus we encountered asked us a question as soon as we entered. He didn't answer while driving, but rather abruptly patted the sign above his head: "Fasten your seatbelts, don't talk to the driver." We thought that made sense, so we didn't ask again. After all, it's a mountain road, and safety comes first. There were only the three of us on the bus, but he didn't talk to us, probably because he was listening to an audiobook while driving. With few tourists in the dead of winter, the job must have been quite monotonous. The second driver, who drove what looked like an electric cart, chatted with tourists from Shanghai while driving. For some reason, he didn't take us to Wangxiangyan. Remember to sit on the left side of the sightseeing bus for better views.

    Aside from the crowds, there are no other problems. It has a classic and antique feel, and the shops inside are very bustling, with everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment. Some local specialties are worth buying. The overall planning of the scenic area is also good, with both a sense of traditional history and a modern atmosphere. It's worth a visit.

    We started our visit from the Lower Temple, heading straight to the Water God Temple to admire the Yuan Dynasty murals. The Mingyingwang Hall of the Water God Temple was built in the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty's Yanyou era (1319). The nearly 200 square meters of Yuan Dynasty murals on the four walls of the hall are a unique example in ancient China of murals that do not depict Buddhist or Taoist themes. These paintings, created over 700 years ago, are meticulously arranged, vividly depicted, and richly colored, truly exquisite. Among them, the theatrical mural on the east side of the south wall is one of the "Three Wonders of Guangsheng," and it, along with the polo scene on the upper north side of the west wall, was included in the "Chinese History" textbook in 1998.

    Baima Temple truly deserves its reputation as China's oldest temple. Ancient cypress trees, some over a thousand years old, shade the red walls, and the chanting of Buddhist hymns seems to transcend time. There's no bustling commercialism, only a serene Zen atmosphere and a profound sense of history. Walking on the stone steps of Qingliang Terrace, watching the incense smoke rise, one can almost hear the echoes of camel bells from the Eastern Han Dynasty. A short two-hour visit felt like stepping into another world. This solemnity, passed down for millennia, commands utmost respect.

    The Big Locust Tree is a place where one can forget their troubles and purify their soul. Its sacredness and tranquility soothe everyone who comes to worship their ancestors. If you also yearn for inner peace, then come to the Big Locust Tree; I believe you will find it rewarding. The景区 service is excellent! 👍💕

    The environment was great, and the museum was huge. The guide led us through all the exhibits, and her explanations were excellent. Not only were there many exhibits, but the legendary ancient tomb artifacts were also truly impressive. Most importantly, there were few people, so we could explore at our own pace – that's better than anything else!

    Overall, it's alright. The environment is beautiful and comfortable, especially the gate, which is quite spectacular, haha. If you like archaeology and history, you'll find it interesting, as it provides a direct understanding of oracle bone inscriptions and the excavation process. It's pretty good, but the ticket price feels a bit expensive...
