Baoding Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Baoding Huayuan Town, Baoding Huayuan. "Picking Wei Wei, Wei also stopped. The return to the home, the age is also no end." Super like the name "Pick". Wuyuan Huazhong Town has a Caiwei Garden. It is not for anything else. I just fell in love with the name. When I walked into the Caiwei Garden, I was more than happy. is actually a Taihang Mountain Station, Green Valley Modern Agriculture Park, which consists of Pigeon Court, Jinjiyuan and vegetable growing areas. The pigeons in the Caiwei Garden are not afraid of people at all, and they are screaming to welcome us. The flowing stream, the flowers by the fence, the ancient wells and the grinding discs, the pumpkin carts on the side of the road, the gratifying vegetables... are a quiet and beautiful pastoral picture! Here, you can experience the fun of picking up radishes and picking cherries. You can have a photo with cute pigeons, arrogant peacocks, or play a pumpkin game with your friends... ...If you have time, you may wish to have a friend of three or five, and go to the town of Huawei in the town of Caiwei.

Huazhong Town, Caiwei Garden | It is said that my favorite in Huazhong Town is the Caiwei Garden. It is so beautiful to be a happy farmer here. The first time I saw such a big pumpkin, just like entering the fairy tale world, the vegetables in the garden, the pumpkin is ripe yellow, the cherry tomato is the harvest of red, the beans are full of green, the eggplant is noble. Purple, full of harvest. And the tomatoes and carrots are very sweet. I have eaten a lot. I also watch chickens, pigeons, and peacocks in the garden. It is very interesting to watch. It is also very good to pick them with family and friends.

This year's May Day holiday was held at the Baishi Mountain Hot Spring Resort in Wuyuan, Hebei. During the May Day period, the White Rock Mountain Hot Spring Resort prepared a variety of special events for everyone to experience, and the most impressive thing for me was the Huazhong Town Kite Festival. When I saw a lot of special three-dimensional "small animal" kites floating in the sky, I really felt like I suddenly crossed into a magical "fairy" world to see if you like it too. What?

When you are in the natural hot springs, you will suddenly see a group of Ancient Beauty wearing traditional Chinese clothes in front of you. After a series of complicated rituals, add a delicious Chinese medicine soup to the hot springs. Will you think that you suddenly passed through time and space? Actually, this is the "Baihualin Hot Spring Valley" of the "Baishishan Hot Spring Resort" in Wuyuan, Hebei Province. The "Spa and Soup" event for all guests during the May Day holiday is held from 3 pm to 4 pm. The whole "hot spring and soup ceremony" ceremony is both novel and interesting. Don't you want to come and experience it yourself?

Bai Shi Mountain | The Little Huangshan of the North, a view at every step

⛰️I've always wanted to visit Bai Shi Mountain, and taking advantage of the Women's Day, I got a half-price ticket The scenery truly lives up to its reputation, with almost a view at every step, and every angle is different. I was basically taking photos all the way. . 📖Bai Shi Mountain: World Geopark, 5A-rated scenic area. Located in the core area of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, it belongs to Laiyuan County, Baoding City. The Buddha Light Summit is the highest point of Bai Shi Mountain, with an altitude of 2096 meters, and is the foremost peak of the Taihang Mountains. . 📍Navigation: Bai Shi Mountain Scenic Area 🎫Ticket: Full price 130💰 🚍Scenic Shuttle: Mandatory round-trip shuttle bus in the scenic area 60💰 🅿️Parking: Parking lot at the entrance 10💰 🧭Trail: 20240310 Bai Shi Mountain, starting from the bus stop at the mountain top in the scenic area, some routes are under maintenance, the total distance is 7.43km, with an ascent of 267m, and the road conditions are very good. 💡Route: Some routes are still under repair in spring, and a few scenic spots were not reached. However, the scenery is still fantastic. Walking clockwise from the parking lot on the mountain, the plank road winds around the boulders, which can be a bit scary for those who fear heights. The southern peaks are looming, and along the mountain edge, there are several towering boulders, which are great for taking photos. At every turn, there is almost always a good spot for photography, so observe more and look back often for surprises. The largest precipice of the Taihang Mountains is not open, and the road to the Buddha Light Summit on the north side is also under maintenance. On the way back, I went to and from the Buddha Light Summit via the small plank road, and the continuous steps can be a bit tiring. . ⚠️Tips: 1️⃣Bring more food and drinks, as the prices for simple meals on the mountain are relatively high, and there may be no seats available during busy times; 2️⃣In areas such as the cliff plank road, strictly adhere to the regulations, do not cross the plank road to walk on mountain paths at will, to ensure personal safety; 3️⃣Bai Shi Mountain has different scenery in each season, and it's worth visiting once every season, the sunrise and sunset must be very nice.

Exploring the Governor's Office of Zhili: A Blend of History and Culture

Exploring the Governor's Office of Zhili: A Blend of History and Culture. Zhili, the elegant name for the area that is now mostly Hebei province, once held the core status of the capital region during the Ming and Qing dynasties, covering present-day Beijing, Tianjin, most parts of Hebei, and some areas of Henan and Shandong. Baoding, the location of the Governor's Office of Zhili, undoubtedly played a pivotal role in the annals of history. Today, when we mention this city, donkey meat sandwiches may be the first thing that comes to mind, but in fact, Baoding's historical glory still shines brightly. One only needs to set foot on this land to deeply feel it. The Governor's Office, established during the Qing Dynasty, is known as 'a microcosm of half of Qing history.' It is divided into three routes: east, central, and west, with the central route being the main one. It is sequentially arranged with the main hall, secondary hall, official residence, and inner house, forming a typical ancient government office complex. Now, it has been transformed into a thematic museum, mainly displaying the culture of ancient government offices, and provides a detailed introduction to the historical knowledge of the official system, duties, and ranks. The cultural relics and utensils in the museum are mainly from the Qing Daoguang period, among which the earliest white-glazed Luohan is particularly attractive to many tourists for stamping. It is worth mentioning that during the Spring Festival, Baoding's major museums launched a stamp collection for gift exchange activity. By collecting a certain number of stamps, visitors can exchange them for exquisite gifts. Deep in the east route, in the small building that once served as the old office of the provincial government, tourists can receive a special passport for free and also stamp it there, leaving their own footprints. Among all the Governors of Zhili, Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang were undoubtedly the most outstanding. It was here that they promoted the Westernization Movement, established schools, founded translation offices, built steamships, and organized the navy. Although the course of history did not develop entirely according to their plans, the Governor's Office of Zhili undoubtedly sowed the seeds for modern China's transformation. As we look back on the tumultuous changes of modern China, the Governor's Office of Zhili is undoubtedly a historical landmark not to be missed.

It was changed to the Daning Dusi Office during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was changed to the Canjiang Office in the early Qing Dynasty. In the eighth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1730), after a large-scale expansion, the Governor's Office was officially established. It has gone through the eight emperors of Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, and Xuantong, and it can be described as a microcosm of the history of the Qing Dynasty.

Visited Dingzhou Citywalk·The First Stop·Dingzhou Kaifeng Pagoda last year with my parents

Considering their knees, I didn't take them up. This second visit was to see the inside. All the statues inside the pagoda are gone, many inscriptions have been stolen, and the faces of the figures in the murals have been damaged... Okay, let's talk about something happy. Aside from the modern scribbles on the walls (what? you call this happy?! :P~), there are also many inscriptions by literati and poets, some of which have been protected by the management with glass covers. During the climb, I encountered several groups of tourists. It's common to see young boys interested in photographing ancient relics, but surprisingly, a few young girls were also carefully appreciating the murals and inscriptions with their cameras... In the southwest corner of the courtyard, there is an inverted 'Monument to the Construction of a New Order in East Asia,' a solid proof of the Japanese invasion back in the day. Entrance is 10 yuan, and climbing the pagoda is 30 (since it's Citywalk, I guess all tickets are full price^_^).

China's number one tower! Dingzhou Kaiyuan Temple Tower!

This tower, known as the number one tower in China -- Dingzhou Kaiyuan Temple Tower, was originally called the Enemy Tower, which was built during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. Dingzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty was located between the Liao and Jin countries and was a military stronghold. It was built to prevent the invasion of the Liao and Jin countries and took more than 50 years to complete. Since the tower was built inside the Kaiyuan Temple, it was later called the Kaiyuan Temple Tower. The tower is 11 stories high and 83.7 meters tall. The plane is octagonal, and the tower structure is a brick-wood mixed structure. 'Cut all the Quyang wood and build the Enemy Tower.' It can be seen that the manpower and material resources spent on building this tower at that time can be imagined. China's Buddhist pagodas are all odd-numbered, and it was later learned that odd numbers are auspicious numbers in Buddhism. Generally five, seven, eleven, thirteen stories. At present, the Kaiyuan Temple Tower is only open to the seventh floor. As the height increases, the tower body gradually shrinks, and the stairs gradually ease. When I reached the seventh floor, I was panting. Each floor of the tower has connected corridors, four main doors, and four windows. You can see the street scenery and the situation of nearby houses.

Dingzhou Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda

Dingzhou Liaodi Pagoda, commonly known as 'Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda', is located inside Kaiyuan Temple on the east side of the South City Gate in Dingzhou City, Hebei Province. In the fourth year of Xianping of the Northern Song Dynasty (1001), Emperor Zhenzong of Song ordered the construction of the temple and pagoda to enshrine the Buddhist scriptures and relics brought back from ancient India by Monk Lingneng. The construction was completed in the second year of Zhihe of the Northern Song Dynasty (1055), taking 55 years. As Dingzhou was a military stronghold close to both the Liao and Song dynasties, the Song Dynasty used this pagoda to observe enemy movements, hence the name 'Liaodi Pagoda' (or 'Observation Tower'). The Dingzhou Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda is an octagonal tower building and is one of the tallest ancient brick towers in China. The tower is dignified and majestic, with eleven levels, each level shrinking in proportion from bottom to top. The internal structure of the tower is that the outer tower body surrounds the inner tower body, and the stairs spiral up from the heart of the inner tower body to the top of the tower. The tower body is connected from the inside to the outside, forming a unique structure of a tower within a tower. The Dingzhou Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda is a Buddhist pagoda that integrates architectural art, Buddhist culture, and calligraphy and painting art, and occupies an important position in the history of ancient Chinese architecture. Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda
