Beijing Vicinity | World Endangered Heritage, the Desolate Jīmíngyì Ancient Town!

Beijing Vicinity | World Endangered Heritage, the Desolate Jīmíngyì Ancient Town📜|||Approaching the walls of Jīmíngyì A profound sense of age-old vicissitudes quietly creeps up Entering the town feels like stepping into another era The ancient walls, the eroded green bricks... All appear desolate and mysterious Many courtyards are in ruins Through the broken window lattices A strong sense of history hits you The old post road tells tales of yesterday... This Jīmíngyì town was a post station relic from the Ming dynasty It is the largest post station in the vicinity of Beijing And also the best-preserved one It has now been listed as a World Endangered Heritage Surprisingly, there are few tourists here Apart from a few accommodations and eateries, there's little commercialization Now wandering around, it feels more like an ancient village Some simple folks recount the past people and events... 🔴 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ【Main Buildings】 The scenic area has many buildings but they are all small, and each building is close to the other, you can visit each one, recommend the following main buildings: ☑️ He Family Courtyard The most famous 'He Family Courtyard' in the post station was once a refuge for Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu. To this day, the gable wall of the second courtyard still bears the carved bricks with the characters '鸿禧接福', commemorating Empress Dowager Cixi's residence here ☑️ Mount Tai Temple Built in the 8th year of Shunzhi during the Qing Dynasty, the Mount Tai Temple has a history of over 300 years, but the murals inside the hall are still clearly visible, and the layered painting effects are stunning ☑️ Post Culture Theme Post Office ☑️ Pudu Temple 🏨 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ【Accommodation】 The choice of accommodation is only a 10min drive to Arcadia International Hotel, the duplex parent-child room is very popular with children, and there is also an indoor swimming pool and outdoor sliding ring which are the favorites of the kids. The only downsides are poor sound insulation and a limited variety of breakfast, just a reference for you sisters~ 📷 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ【Photography】 This ancient town is suitable for DJI shooting, the large scenes look great, other recommended shooting spots are mainly concentrated at the second-floor tower at the entrance. 📕【𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧】 📍: Jīmíngyì Ancient Town 🗺️: Huailai County, Zhangjiakou ⏰: 8:00-18:00 🎫: 36 yuan/person ‼️: The ancient town is very small and it's not recommended to go out of your way to visit, if passing by you can plan to spend half a day ———————————————— 👉🏼Continuously updated every week𝓲𝓷𝓰 👉🏼See more family travel on the homepage🔛 👉🏼Follow me👀 to avoid getting lost on holidays♥️
