Handan Travel Guide

Dear travel enthusiasts, as the flowers bloom in spring, are you also looking for a less-known travel destination with beautiful scenery and fewer tourists? Today, I want to reveal a small yet beautiful place hidden in Hebei—Handan. Not only does it boast beautiful natural landscapes, but it also has a rich cultural heritage, and most importantly, almost all of its attractions are free! Handan, this city located at the southernmost tip of Hebei, may not be as well-known as some big cities, but it has its own unique charm. During the May Day holiday, I chose it as my travel destination, hoping to find tranquility and beauty here. On the first night, I drove to the downtown area of Handan and checked into a hotel with great value for money—Suncoo Premium Hotel. Although I didn't arrive until after 1 a.m., the comfortable environment of the hotel quickly sent me into dreamland. The next day, I got up early and headed to the famous Nantian Village. The herds of cattle, flocks of sheep, wild birds, and the babbling brooks here compose a beautiful picture, making one feel as if they were in Hulunbuir. In the afternoon, I visited Handan's Zishan Park. Although it wasn't as stunning as described online, strolling in the park and feeling the breath of spring was quite a unique experience. At night, I stayed at the Handan Junyue Hotel, which was affordable and the rooms were clean and tidy. A family room cost only 178 yuan and included breakfast, which was a great value. On the third day, I visited Heilongdong, where the spring water is clear and sweet, even better than Baotu Spring. The photo effects were also super beautiful, as if I were in a fairyland. Then, I went to Yiquan Lake Cultural Park, which is vast and beautiful, and consumption is very cheap. I spent a relaxing and pleasant afternoon here, taking many beautiful photos. At night, I stayed at the Longtengge Hotel, looking forward to the next day's journey. On the fourth day, I visited Shengfu Tianlu and Chaoyang Lake Scenic Area. Shengfu Tianlu winds and twists with breathtaking scenery along the way; Chaoyang Lake Scenic Area is a natural embrace, with clear waters and shady green trees. Many people were barbecuing, playing in the water, and catching shrimp, enjoying the good times. At night, I stayed at the Wu'an Lanshengju Hotel, which brought my trip to a perfect end. This trip to Handan made me deeply appreciate the charm of this small city. Although it lacks the hustle and bustle of big cities, it has its own unique natural scenery and cultural heritage. If you are also looking for a less-known travel destination, why not come and explore Handan!
