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.

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?

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?
