Huai Army Office, Baoding, Hebei

A complex of buildings built to commemorate the Huai Army soldiers who died in suppressing the Taiping Rebellion and the Nian Rebellion, and also used as an office. This is Hui-style architecture, which is rare in the north, with gray tiles, white walls, alleys, beautiful moon gates, and exquisite brick carvings. The theater is a must-visit place in the Huai Army Office. It is well preserved and has exquisite caisson ceilings. If you have time, you can consider the nearby Baoding Zoo, the ticket price is touchingly cheap! I recommend the nearby "Lü Ji Tanghulu" and their fried cakes.
