All Moments About Lingyuan
1.5 hours high-speed rail from Beijing 🚄 Direct access|In addition to Niuheliang, Lingyuan also has Dimu Temple
Lingyuan, which is 1.5 hours away from Beijing by high-speed rail, is a county-level city under the administration of Chaoyang City. In addition to the famous Niuheliang Hongshan Culture Site of the late Neolithic Age, there is also a free "World's No. 1 Earth Mother Temple" worth visiting.
🏯Lingyuan Dimu Temple
Located in the northwest suburbs of Lingyuan City, it is located at the intersection of Liaoning, Hebei and Inner Mongolia. Dimu Temple was first built in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty. After many ups and downs, only three small temples remained in the 1990s. Later, it was continuously expanded and renovated to its current size.
From the Niuheliang Goddess Temple, we can know that Lingyuan area has always had the belief in "Mother of All Things, Mother Earth". The temple is very large. Its most magnificent building is the 29-meter-high Yuantong Hall, inside which stands a 16.88-meter-high standing statue of the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin.
🏯Not far from the Dimu Temple, there is a relatively dilapidated ancient tower from the Liao Dynasty called the Shibalibao Tower. Because it was the site of the Yuzhou state capital and many counties in the Liao Dynasty, it is also called the Yuzhou Ancient Tower.
🏯How to play in Lingyuan?
Lingyuan is not big, 1-2 days is enough for a visit. Lingyuan's scenic spots are relatively scattered, so it is more convenient to drive or charter a car. If you have time, you can visit Chaoyang, the ancient capital of Sanyan, the city to which Lingyuan belongs, which is more interesting.
Lingyuan Hot Spring is quite famous and you can choose to stay in a hot spring hotel at night.
Lingyuan delicacies: mutton soup, sesame cakes, and tofu pudding.

Shan Yu Tang: A Hot Spring Hotel Hidden in the Valley
Shan Yu Tang: A Hot Spring Hotel Hidden in the Valley♨️
I didn't know where to go during the Lunar New Year holiday, so I checked in at this hot spring hotel.
This time, I tried the outdoor private hot spring on the balcony.
It was so pleasant to jump into the hot spring in the cold winter.
The water quality was good, and the hot spring was filled quickly.
You can also drink tea and eat some fruit and snacks.
I had dinner at the Shushan Banquet Restaurant. The food was okay, but the price was a little expensive.
The park is not big, so it's easy to walk around.
The front desk informed me that the public hot spring was not open because it was too cold.
Fortunately, my friend's mahjong room was available for playing cards and mahjong, which enriched the activities.
In some room types, the private hot spring is indoors.
But later I found that soaking in the outdoor hot spring in the cold winter was also a unique experience.

Magic City Walk II New Free! Children's Playground 'Tree Frog Tribe'
All the treasure mothers spread the word, another free children's playground in Shanghai is officially open for business. Although the children's facilities were all built before, the fences are still there, so considering safety factors, it is more reassuring to come and walk after the official opening. You can dig sand, swing, climb, ride, skateboard, slide, and there is a super mini log cabin by the river, too fairy tale!
Specific location: Meilong Ecological Park
Children's playground area can be navigated: Cai Bing Art Museum, next to it is the parking lot. After entering the park, turn right when you see the wooden bridge!!! I went straight, and as a result, I went around a big circle. Fortunately, the chicken-eyed mother just accompanied the baby to see the outdoors, so the treasure mothers remember to see the fork in the bridge in the cold weather, turn right and walk 100 meters to get there.
Zi Nuge and the little brother had a great time playing together. When going downhill, you must hold the little hand and say, 'I can't leave my sister alone and slip...'. This little brother will definitely win in the future! Looking forward to playing again next time. Where to go for the Spring Festival City
