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.

Spring Outing Memoir | Beijing Day Trip, hurry to Baoding Citywalk this weekend

| Beijing Day Trip, hurry to Baoding Citywalk this weekend. As one of the historical cities next to Beijing, Baoding is really super suitable for a weekend day Citywalk Whether by self-driving or high-speed train, you can easily finish the tour in one day and return home at night. First stop: Governor's Office of Zhili In the center of Baoding, the Governor's Office of Zhili is nestled among the bustling traffic of Yuhua West Road. Stepping into the yamen, you immediately feel cut off from the worldly hustle and bustle outside, sensing the ancient charm. Gray tiled roofs, small traditional Chinese gable and hip architectural style, small windows painted with red peonies, a few green leaves dabbed with green paint, contrasting with the solemn and stately style of the yamen, creating an ancient and classic beauty. 'A governor's yamen, a half-volume reflection of Qing history,' walking deeper along the central axis of the yamen is like exploring into the depths of a certain period of history, where you can not only learn about the ancient official culture from the couplets and plaques but also trace back the history of the land of Yan and Zhao in the contrast between ancient and modern times. Second stop: Catholic Church Coming out of the governor's mansion, strolling a few hundred meters east along Yuhua West Road, you'll find the Catholic Church, which is easy to miss if you're not paying attention. The Catholic Church is very photogenic; although not as magnificent as the Xishiku Church in Beijing, its appearance is also beautiful and dignified. Third stop: Daci Pavilion Zhenjue Temple is a thousand-year-old ancient temple, not very large, but very charming, known as 'the towering pavilion of the city,' with the saying, 'If you haven't been to Daci Pavilion, you haven't been to Baoding.' In the square in front of the gate, groups of elderly people play chess and practice Tai Chi, and the marketplace is full of life. Time flows through the streets, history is etched on the bricks and tiles, a thousand years quietly pass over the bluestone slabs, and the wind chimes under the eaves tinkle with the breeze. Once you step in, you feel the light shift of time, and the years are peacefully still. Fourth stop: Ancient Lotus Pond If the Governor's Office of Zhili represents the typical northern official building style, then stepping into the Ancient Lotus Pond, facing the rockery built of Taihu stones, you get a sense of the southern garden screen wall. At dusk, the Ancient Lotus Pond is serene and quiet. Small courtyards surrounded by water, with pavilions, mountains, and towers, are scattered and staggered. In mid-March, there are no lush flowers and vines, no endless green lotus leaves reaching the sky, but sitting by the pond, when the sunset's willows cast their reflections into the water, the sparse shadows make one feel as if in 'the misty and flowery March of Yangzhou.' The architectural style of the Zhili Library is different from the pavilions and towers elsewhere in the courtyard, with red carved railings and gray bricks and tiles exuding a modern atmosphere. The windows of the second-floor loft face the direction of the setting sun, and reading here, the words may also carry a bit more tenderness. Do not miss the delicacies: Donkey meat Huoshao Beef covered cake Ps: For girls, 'er zhao er' (two liang of beef and two liang of cake) is usually enough, boys can have more

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.

Journey ~ Hebei Baoding Lotus Pond Academy

The ancient Lotus Pond, one of the top ten famous gardens in China, covers an area of 35,000 square meters. The ancient Lotus Pond was initially built by Zhang Rou, the king of Runan in the Yuan Dynasty, from 1227 to 1234, during the end of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and was a private garden at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to a government garden, known as the 'Water Mirror Office'. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the Lotus Pond Academy was built; during the Qianlong period, it became the emperor's palace, forming twelve scenes, namely: Chunwu Slope, Huanan Yanbei Grass Hall, Wanjuan Tower, Gao Fen Pavilion, Wanhong Pavilion, Zao Yong Tower, Hanlu Pavilion, Pianliu Cave, Hancang Pavilion, Hechai, Ruidang Jing She, and Jiangtang. It is known as the 'Urban Penglai'. Emperor Qianlong visited the Lotus Pond seven times in his life. The Lotus Pond Academy was built in the eleventh year of Zheng (1733), and was built by Li Wei, the governor of Zhili, and is located in the ancient Lotus Pond garden, known as the 'Urban Penglai'. Named after the Lotus Pond, this academy has become a major highlight in the garden. The Lotus Pond is famous for its academy, and the academy is also famous for the beauty of the Lotus Pond garden and its charm to attract students. The Lotus Pond Academy has a dedicated library - Wanjuan Tower, which collected up to 30,000 volumes (volumes) of books at most. According to historical records, at the beginning of the establishment of the academy, Emperor Yongzheng bestowed a batch of books on the academy. During the Qianlong period, the court bestowed a number of books such as the 'Thirteen Classics' and 'Twenty-One Histories' on the academy, including many good copies of ancient books. In the thirtieth year of Qianlong (1765), Fang Guancheng, the then governor of Zhili, allocated 300 taels of silver to buy 400 boxes of books, further expanding the scale of the academy's collection. In the eleventh year of Tongzhi (1872), Huang Pengnian served as the dean of the Lotus Pond Academy for the second time, and was also responsible for the compilation of the 'Jifu Tongzhi'. He took 1,200 taels of silver from the income of the 'Jifu Tongzhi' carving, and bought 15,111 volumes of books for the academy. After Li Hongzhang took office as the governor of Zhili, he raised funds for the Lotus Pond Academy to buy books three times, enriching the old collection and making the academy's collection reach the highest historical level of 33,711 volumes (volumes). Huang Pengnian's 'Taolou Wen Chao' records: 'Raise 1,500 gold, buy books for volumes, a total of 33,711, increase the cabinet by ten, and use ten to increase the cabinet by twelve, and use twelve to support it, and store it in the Wanjuan Tower.' Huang Pengnian also personally wrote the 'Wanjuan Tower Book Catalogue' and 'Wanjuan Tower Collection Book Monument' two articles. The many ancient books and books collected by the academy have benefited the scholars who study here.

Ancient Lotus Pond: The gem of Baoding

Located diagonally opposite the Governor's Office in Baoding, the ancient Lotus Pond is a private garden with a rich historical background. It was built during the transition from the Jin to the Yuan Dynasty, and evolved into an official garden during the Ming Dynasty, named 'Ancient Lotus Pond' due to the blooming lotus in the garden. During the Yongzheng era, the Governor of Zhili, Li Wei, transformed the Lotus Pond into the Lotus Pond Academy, becoming a cultural palace at that time. In the Qianlong era, the Governor of Zhili, Fang Guan, followed the emperor's will and turned it into the emperor's palace. Qianlong visited seven times in his lifetime, and emperors like Jiaqing, Guangxu, and Cixi also visited, adding much color to this garden. The Lotus Pond is not only an ancient private garden, but also one of the national cultural preservation units, and can be called one of the top ten famous gardens in China. In the exhibition in the small square pot in Figure 12, we were fortunate to see a literary group represented by Baoding writers such as Sun Li, Liang Bin, Xu Guangyao, and Tie Ning. This is a rare exhibition for writers among the national cultural preservation units, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of the blend of literature and history. The tickets for the Lotus Pond and the Governor's Office of Zhili are both 30 yuan, and those with a teacher's qualification certificate can enjoy free admission, and bus rides are also free. These preferential policies make tourists feel the enthusiasm and kindness of the people of Baoding.
