Baishishan
Baishishan, located 15 kilometers south of the city of Laiyuan County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, is at the northernmost end of the Taihang Mountains, consisting of more than 100 peaks of varying heights and relatively independent from each other, with the main peak at an altitude of 2096 meters. During the Warring States period, the ridge divided Yan and Zhao, and during the Liao and Song dynasties, one mountain divided two countries.
Baishishan is named for the white marble scattered across the mountain, characterized by marble karst peak forest landforms, representing a new type of peak forest landform in China. Baishishan has a large and tall body, with fewer curves, more edges and corners, large height differences, and high density, featuring 'three tops, six platforms, nine valleys, and eighty-one peaks,' with the main ridge line extending over 7000 meters. The highest peak is the dragon's head rising northwest of the North China Plain.
In 2004, the Baishishan scenic area was rated as a national scenic area by the National Tourism Administration and as a national forest park by the State Forestry Administration. On September 18, 2006, the Laiyuan Baishishan and Laishui Yesanpo National Geoparks, in joint application with the Beijing Fangshan National Geopark, were approved by UNESCO as a World Geopark. On February 25, 2017, the National Tourism Administration announced that after evaluation by the National Tourism Resources Planning and Development Quality Evaluation Committee, the Baishishan scenic area was rated as a national 5A-level tourist attraction.

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.

Baishi Mountain Hot Spring Resort, Central China 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?

11 On the occasion of the holiday, the happiest thing is to grab the ticket and come to the long-awaited town of Huazhong Town. Huazhong Town is located in Wuyuan County, Baoding, Hebei Province, adjacent to Baishi Mountain Scenic Area. This is a tourist attraction, a well-being and a good place to visit.

Especially in the town's Huazhong Holiday Hot Spring Hotel, the architectural style of Tang Feng Han Bone, magnificent and unobtrusive, atmospheric and not complicated decoration, let people appreciate the ancient oriental charm invisibly, and appreciate the charm of Han Yun Tang Feng.

You see, the Hangu Square in the town, the chasing Hanma in front of the hotel, the bronze cast in the lobby, the Peking Opera mask and shadow in the cupboard, and the Taihang Yabai root carving in the corridor, showing the beauty of Chinese traditional culture everywhere.

Qishan Ski Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
What else can you do in winter if you don't ski? Here's a guide hhhh
Winter sports skiing
Every winter, it's an indispensable entertainment~
Qishan Ski Resort is also a popular ski resort that I often go to. Here's a complete guide for everyone.
❄️Ski trail:
Divided into beginner-intermediate-advanced
It is recommended for beginners to experience the beginner's trail! Challenge when you are confident~
🕑Business hours:
Daytime 8:30--16:30
Night 17:00-20:30
🍗For meals, you can go to the ski hall next to the ski resort! It's very close and convenient!
There are many choices~
🈶Buffet, food street, Japanese restaurant
It's a great atmosphere to eat here with friends who come to play together.
☕️There is also a coffee shop on the first floor that I didn't expect. Coffee lovers can't leave it! The environment is suitable for taking pictures~ The taste is also good!!!
⚠️Small tips
1️⃣Beginners are advised to buy a set of turtle protective gear for skiing online (this ski resort doesn't have it~) Others can be rented at the ski resort
2️⃣Sunglasses are not chicken ribs!!!
If you slide for a long time and keep looking at the snow, your eyes will feel dizzy and uncomfortable
3️⃣Don't worry if you can't ski~ The ski resort has coaches to teach~

Lesser-known Ski Resort | It's not that Chongli is unaffordable, Qishan offers better value for money
▫️The first snow season for skiing beginners, check-in at the lesser-known ski resort, "Baoding Laiyuan Qishan Ski Resort".
❄️Wow, far beyond my expectations, it's great. It's beginner-friendly and also suitable for intermediate and advanced players.
❄️Transportation
➡️Convenient for self-driving, it's just off the highway. For babies in the central and southern parts of Hebei, it feels more convenient than going to Chongli.
➡️There are buses from Shijiazhuang city and Zhengding Airport to the ski resort on Saturdays and Sundays, and return buses are available on Sundays.
❄️Accommodation
Boutique chain brand hotel. The key is that it has space capsules, which are very friendly to skiing "single dogs", and it also includes a day pass for the ski resort.
❄️Food
➡️Down-to-earth and affordable, with hot pot, mixed rice, donkey meat buns, covered pancakes, etc., everything is available. My favorite is the distant mountain coffee shop, coffee in the day and alcohol at night. The window faces the ski resort, the view is healing.
➡️The hotel has a 24-hour convenience store.
❄️Ski Trails
➡️Night sessions are available every day, with two advanced trails, two intermediate trails, magic carpet area, and terrain park.
➡️During the day, there are three advanced trails, three intermediate trails, one high mountain beginner trail, magic carpet area, and terrain park.
➡️The longest ski trail is 2.6km, according to the sliding record, it's about right.
❄️TIPS
🔹The ski equipment at the ski resort is not bad, there are two types: ordinary and high-end. You can also rent them on the roadside, which is a little cheaper.
🔹The wind is not strong, and it's not very cold at night, two layers are enough.
🔹The view from the top of the mountain is beautiful, don't just rush down.

This may be the northern farmhouse that I saw in the most local tyrants in Hebei. The White Rock Mountain Villa in the White Rock Mountain Hot Spring Resort is exquisite and antique. It is said that the overnight stay is 18,888 yuan. Do you want to live and watch it?
