M27***17Mei Jie's 71st day of traveling in China, Zhangjiakou Zhangbei Bashang Grassland Heavenly Road At the junction of Zhangbei County and Chongli District in Zhangjiakou, there is a winding asphalt road of more than 100 kilometers. It stretches across the mountains with the ups and downs of the mountains. The scenery on both sides of the road is beautiful, with rivers, mountains, meadows and terraces, like a hundred-mile painting! The blue sky connects with it, and the white clouds echo with it, just like walking on the road to heaven! The most suitable season for Bashang Grassland is from the end of June to the end of September. The air on the grassland is pure, there is little pollution, and it is also cool in summer. I was unlucky today. It was raining intermittently on Bashang. The sky was always overcast, and occasionally the sun poured down through the clouds, which was a different taste. I still felt cool wearing long sleeves, it is worthy of being a summer resort~

爱琴海的枫The tree flower beating in Nuanquan Ancient Town, Wei County, is a non-legacy project. It is a great experience. It is only available on weekends. It is said that this master has been passed down for 12 generations. It is really wonderful. The whole performance is about 50 minutes, with singing and dancing and homestay display in the middle.

帕罗奇亚芙丽娅Chongli's scenery is truly stunning. This was my first time in Fulong. Compared to Cuiyun Mountain and Taiwu, it's more suitable for children. The White Bear Park is quite large, and the attractions are all within easy reach. The underground shopping mall is quite large, but everything was closed. Compared to other attractions, it's a very good value.

中山阳明We spent two days exploring Weizhou Ancient City. The first day was a night tour, where we rode a shared e-bike to visit Wanshan Tower, Nan'an Temple Pagoda, and the Weizhou Government Office. The second day was a daytime visit, focusing on the Jade Emperor Pavilion. The city's ancient buildings are well-preserved, and there are few attractions, all very affordable. [Scenery] The weather was slightly cool during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and the ancient city was serene under the moonlight, with beautiful illuminations.

殷都老虎Xuanhua Ancient City (National Cultural Relics) Located in Xuanhua District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, it was first built in the Tang Dynasty and expanded in the 27th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1394). It is the "first of the nine towns" of the Ming Great Wall. The square is about 12 kilometers in circumference and has 7 city gates. There is a pass outside the gate, surrounded by a city wall, and a moon city outside the city wall. Corner towers are built at the four corners of the city. There are moats, moats, suspension bridges, etc. outside the city. It is an important part of the Great Wall defense system. Famous attractions Gongji Tower, also known as Nanmen Tower, was built on the Changping Gate of the southern city wall of Xuanhua. It was first built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It is 24 meters high with the city wall, and there are north-south archways below. Zhenshuo Tower, also known as Drum Tower, was built in the fifth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty (1440). It is hung with a large plaque with the words "Shenjing Pinghan" written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, implying that Xuanhua is the barrier of Beijing. The frame of the large plaque is carved with clouds and mosquito dragons in different states going out to sea. Located on the central axis of Xuanhua District, it echoes Gongji Tower in the south and Qingyuan Tower in the north. Like Qingyuan Tower, it is 25 meters high. Qingyuan Tower is located in the center of Xuanhua Ancient City. It is also known as the Bell Tower. It is built on an 8-meter-high cross arch. The building has 3 floors on the outside and 2 floors on the inside. It is 25 meters high, with 3 bays and 6 tower rafters. On the second floor, there is a "Xuanfu Town Bell" cast in the 18th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1539). It is 2.5 meters high, 1.7 meters in diameter, and weighs about 10,000 kilograms. There are corridors around it, and the roof is enameled with green glazed tiles. It forms an axis with Zhenshuo Tower and Gongji Tower in the city. Xuanhua City Wall is a large-scale structure built outside Xuanfu Town during the Ming Dynasty, which was a "unified town and vassal state". Its overall scale, wall size, brick specifications, gate structure, etc. all correspond to the urban system and military status of Xuanfu Town at that time. It is not only an outstanding example of city wall construction in northern China from the 14th to the 19th century, but also a material representation of the peak of Xuanhua's city wall construction technology, which began at the end of the 8th century at the latest, and shows an important stage in the development of China's city wall function system and construction technology. Historical Events During the "Tumubao Incident" in the Ming Dynasty, the story of "Zhengtong calling the pass" took place under the Gongji Tower. In the "Tumu Incident" in the 14th year of the Zhengtong Period of the Ming Dynasty (1449), Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Grand Tutor Yesen of the Mongolian Wala tribe. Yesen took Zhu Qizhen to Xuanhua and knocked on the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city began to waver. At the critical moment, Yang Hong, the general soldier stationed in Xuanhua, and Luo Hengxin, the governor, came to the South Gate with swords and issued a strict order that "those who leave the city will be beheaded", and the soldiers and civilians of Xuanhua were saved.
