2025 Baofeng Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

October 10 - Baofeng Lake is located quite close to me, just 4 kilometers from Wulingyuan Village. You can get there by taxi for 10 yuan, and the ride takes about 10 minutes. The entrance ticket costs 112 yuan, and I paid 3 yuan for my child as insurance. The visit takes about 2 hours. The waterfall is 100 meters high, but unfortunately, there is no access to it. A boat ride and transfer are included in the ticket price. The observation tower is not operational. The fish in the pond have died due to the heat (34 degrees Celsius). Half of the park is closed off. The lake itself is artificial, created in the 1970s by damming a mountain river, with a depth of about 72 meters. As for the so-called 'Island of Love,' no one is allowed to disembark there. The route is easy-going, and overall, I recommend visiting.

Travel through the "Ancestral Temple of Guanyin" Xiangshan Temple and appreciate the heritage of more than 1,800 years Xiangshan Temple When I stood on the top of the mountain and looked back at the city, my mind was filled with the words in the title. This royal temple, which was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,800 years, is recognized as the "Ancestral Temple of Guanyin" by the world. Nowadays, there are many temples here, and the momentum is magnificent. Just standing in front of the first stone archway of Xiangshan can make people look up and feel awe. Although the first few halls of Xiangshan Temple have been rebuilt beautifully, I still recommend that you must step over the 118 steps to the ancient tower of the Song Dynasty to have a look. Although some murals have been lost with the years The passage of time is mottled, but the warmth left by history is real and moving. I can't tell why. This is the temple that makes me feel the most awe among all the temples I have visited. The awe that comes from the bottom of my heart is especially when you are next to the ancient tower. If you want to overlook Yingcheng, you can see the old city at Pingdingshan and the new city at Xiangshan Temple. ♥Note♥ ☞Tickets are five yuan, which can be purchased directly on site. ☞The vegetarian meals in the temple are not available to the public. ☞If you want to experience it well, it is recommended to reserve 3 hours. ☞Wear comfortable shoes, and you need to climb a lot of steps to enter each hall. ☞If you are predestined, you can ask the master or layperson to introduce it, and you should have a deeper feeling.
