Stay at the foot of the mountain: Recommended "Baishi Mountain She" homestay in Laiyuan County, great value, spicy stir-fried mountain mushrooms are delicious! Eating on the mountain: Knife-cut noodles at Shuangxiong Rock Snack City are good, latte at cliff café is paying for the view~ ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls with kids: To see sunrise and sea of clouds, you must stay on the mountain because the bus only departs at 9 am. It’s windy and cold on the peak, even in July bring a thin down jacket for kids! Gloves are a must for via ferrata, secure your phone with a lanyard! If driving yourself, mountain roads have many curves, new drivers be cautious. Don’t know where to take kids in summer? Baishi Mountain is definitely a surprising choice!

When I went to Baoding to visit my friends, I found out that the best anorectal hospital in China is not in Chengdu, but in Baoding, because it can protect the buttocks! Back to the topic, this city that I had never actively wanted to visit before also has its own heritage and many small and beautiful spots, which is very suitable for citywalk! · 1️⃣ West Street Baoding West Street was formed after Baoding was rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty. It has the overall style characteristics of the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods, combining Chinese and Western styles. [Zhili Post Office] [Florence Coffee] is very good at producing coffee. · 2️⃣ Zhili Governor's Office Learn about the culture and historical stories of the Qing Dynasty government offices. 1-9 official refrigerator magnets are very beautiful! · 3️⃣ Daci Pavilion The majestic and magnificent ancient building is magnificent. The temple is filled with the lingering Buddhist sounds and a sacred atmosphere, and is one of the landmark buildings in Baoding. 👉You can visit the [Baoding Catholic Church] next to it, and there is also the [Bell Tower Bread], you have to queue up one hour in advance. · 4️⃣ Huaijun Office The overall architectural style is compatible with both north and south. The reception courtyard, theater (Tindar plays when the sun is good), Xiantang, and Zhaozhong Temple are in the Hui style, and the northern courtyard is in the form of a northern quadrangle. · 5️⃣Baoding Museum It’s a pity that the museum’s treasure, the bronze horse 🐴, was taken away by the Shijiazhuang Museum, and only a replica remains. [Baoding Art Museum] [Guan Hanqing Grand Theater] is right next to it! · 6️⃣China Paleozoological Museum First of all, the architecture is very outstanding, a masterpiece by a master. Then there is the largest paleontological museum with numerous fossils. The dinosaur fossil exhibition area is extremely shocking. · 7️⃣Baoding City Exhibition Center The technology exhibition hall perfectly integrates sound, light and electricity, and there is a free "flying over the horizon" experience. · 8️⃣Lianchi Academy One of the eight scenic spots in Baoding Ancient City, Emperor Kangxi once carved a stone with the inscription "Dragon Flying" in his handwriting. Don't miss it if you like the history of ancient buildings and gardens. · 9️⃣ Qingxiling The grand royal mausoleum complex is magnificent. · In general, Baoding is a very surprising city. I hope you can spend 2-3 days to visit this city that even the donkeys don't want to leave.

😎 I traveled 300 km just for this room! I have always wanted to stay in a room with a bamboo forest outside the window. This time, I finally found a good place in the province, so I don't have to travel far. 😜 When I woke up in the morning, I lay in bed 🛏️ and didn't want to get up! I just watched the bamboo swaying in the wind outside the window, the bamboo leaves falling one by one, and occasionally a bird or butterfly flying by. It was so pleasant! 😍 When I walked out of the room, wow! The fragrance of osmanthus flowers filled the air 🌼, and the rustling of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves 🎋 and the sound of flowing water were like a symphony of nature, refreshing and pleasant. I felt healed. 🤗 🎈 The service here is also great! Although it is a homestay, the service is not sloppy at all. The butler contacted me in advance via WeChat and created an exclusive service group. When I checked in, there were welcome fruits and refreshing tea 🍵, and they helped me with my luggage 🧳. It was so thoughtful! 🛏️ The room was so clean that I felt super comfortable walking barefoot on the floor! The food, drinks, and supplies in the room were of good quality. 👍 🤔 When it was almost time to check out, we were still hesitating whether to stay another night. It was so comfortable! 🍲 For dinner, you can order the homestay's special hot pot, which is delicious! Breakfast is included in the room rate, and there are two options: abalone porridge and wontons, both of which are super delicious 😋. For lunch, we went to Zhengguo Old Street, which is not far from the homestay, and it was very lively! 🤩 There are several amusement forest scenic spots and cultural villages nearby, but it was inconvenient for us to visit with a baby, so we just came to enjoy this bamboo forest homestay and didn't visit other places. 😏 🎊 The homestay also has a swimming pool and hot spring pool, and several rooms have children's swimming lanes. There is also a tea room, yoga room, and meeting room, and there are various room types. It really has everything! 😎 After visiting, many friends asked me where this was, and they were all attracted by the beautiful pictures of the homestay I posted! 🤳 In short, this is really a good place to consider staying again! 🤗💕 📍 Homestay: Baoding Four Seasons Bamboo Forest Academy

Baoding Botanical Garden is worth a trip if you need a break from the bustling city, and a breath of fresh air.

Lots of places to sit and eat a picnic, and escape that summer sunshine in the shade of the forests. Visit in spring for the first blooms, in summer to escape the heat, and autumn for the changing leaves. A beautiful place! #triplocal

📌Yishui Lake 📌 From the ticket gate to the location we have to board the ship for approximately 10 minutes. Entrance and shipping fees are 120 RMB. At the location we are presented with a natural view of the lake surrounded by hills. The path used to climb hills is strong and comfortable, especially the climbing process that is not too difficult, suitable for young children and old people. Be careful with your items, especially sunglasses and hats. Because of the wind or accidentally falling, do not expect to be taken back. You are not allowed to climb the road fence or go down the hillside. #givethanks

Always thought Baoding was a low-key "small city," but after coming here, I realized it’s an all-rounder where you can "play in the mountains, play on the water, and explore history in between!" The itinerary is packed, but your wallet only takes a slight hit—truly the king of cost performance! 🚤【4 Days 3 Nights Core Route | A Symphony of Mountains, Water, and History】 Baoding is huge with so many fun spots. If you don’t want to just skim the surface, this 4-day route captures the essence, blending the weight of history with the wild charm of nature. Day 1: Ancient City Core · Half a Volume of Qing History Arrive in Baoding city, stay near Yuhua Road for convenient access everywhere. In the afternoon, head straight to the Zhili Governor’s Office and spend 2-3 hours immersing yourself in Qing dynasty history. Just across the street is the Ancient Lotus Pond. Though it’s early spring, the pavilions and towers remain, letting you imagine the summer scene of “endless lotus leaves reaching the sky.” In the evening, walk to West Street, a commercial street with a century of history that has just been renovated. It’s very atmospheric when lit up at night. Day 2: Xiong’an New Area · Water Town Baiyangdian Get up early and drive to Baiyangdian (about 1 hour). Find a reputable dock and charter a small boat to let the boat captain take you through the reed marshes. Have an authentic all-fish feast at a farmhouse restaurant on the lake for lunch—stewed mixed fish, fried lotus, salted duck eggs—delicious! In the afternoon, visit the Cultural Garden or Lotus Grand View Garden. If you just want to enjoy nature, simply boating on the lake and feeling the breeze is very pleasant. Return to the city in the evening and visit the Military Academy Square to see the Baoding Military Academy Memorial Hall, the first formal army academy in modern Chinese history. Day 3: Taihang’s Stunning Scenery · Explore Yesanpo Get up early and drive 2.5 hours to Yesanpo. Head straight to the highlight, Bailixia Gorge. Enter the canyon with steep cliffs on both sides and babbling streams, like a natural air conditioner. At the junction of Haitangyu and Shixuan Gorge, you can choose to take a cable car up the mountain or challenge the 2,800-step “Heavenly Ladder.” Stay overnight in a guesthouse in Yesanpo town to experience the tranquility of the mountains. Day 4: Cave Exploration · Perfect Finale In the morning, visit Yugu Cave, a natural cave with a constant temperature all year round. Inside are various stalactites and stalagmites, plus an underground river. It’s said that around the Grain Rain solar term, fish are mysteriously expelled from the cave—a still unsolved mystery. In the afternoon, you can head home fully satisfied. 🏨【Accommodation Guide | From Ancient City to Wilderness】 Baoding offers a wide range of accommodations from urban to rural to meet different needs. • City History Lovers: Stay near Yuhua Road or the Governor’s Office. There are many established and budget hotels priced between 200-400 RMB. At night, stroll to enjoy the ancient city’s nightscape and feel the blend of history and modernity. • Baiyangdian Experience Seekers: Highly recommend staying at lakeside guesthouses or island farmhouses, 150-300 RMB per night. Open your window to water views, enjoy the most authentic fisherman's meals, and fall asleep to the sound of water—an experience you can’t get in the city. • Yesanpo Vacationers: Stay in boutique guesthouses in Yesanpo town or at the entrance of Bailixia Gorge, 300-600 RMB. These guesthouses often have strong design aesthetics, some even with hot spring baths—perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. 📸【Photo Guide | Ways to Blow Up Your Social Feed】 Zhili Governor’s Office: Capture light and shadow in the corridors or take a photo standing in the main hall for a sense of “regional governor” authority. Traditional costumes match perfectly with the architecture here. Baiyangdian: In summer when lotus flowers bloom, use portrait mode to capture the effect of people swimming among flowers. In autumn, the golden reeds and sunset silhouettes create a perfect artistic vibe. Remember to wear white or light-colored clothes to contrast beautifully with the green background. Bailixia Gorge: Use slow shutter speed to create silky water effects, contrasting with the steep cliffs. In narrow spots like “One Line Sky,” shooting upwards can capture the canyon’s imposing feel. Yesanpo “Little Guilin”: At the confluence of mountains and water, boating on the lake in Hanfu really gives the illusion of being in Guilin’s landscape. 🧳【Pre-Trip Tips】 Season Choice: Spring and autumn are best with pleasant weather. In summer, watch out for mosquitoes at Yesanpo and Baiyangdian. Comfortable Wear: Wear comfortable sports shoes for hiking at Yesanpo. Strong sun exposure on the water at Baiyangdian means sun protection is a must. Student ID: Bring your student ID for discounts at many attractions.

The exhibition also highlights Baoding’s contributions and sacrifices after the founding of New China, and reveals the blueprint and hope for Xiong'an New Area. From a historical perspective, Baoding is truly a complete story. ✅ Tips 📌 Recommended to start with Baoding’s historical stories, as they are the most extensive and the exhibits are very exciting. 📌 No reservation is needed for the museum (no peak times); just bring your ID for registration. 📌 There are large parking lots nearby, so parking is not a concern, and public transportation is also available. 📌 Museum opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM), closed on Mondays (may adjust on public holidays, please refer to official announcements). 📌 Address: No. 1032, Qiyi East Road, Lianchi District, Baoding City, Hebei Province
