Zhangjiakou | The scenery I walked through is really beautiful

|The scenery I walked through was really beautiful. |||Zhangjiakou got off the train and changed stations on the way back to Beijing, and walked around the ancient city of Xuanhua. The weather cleared up, and we walked all the way. Although many ruins were not open, it was still worthwhile to quietly see the city walls and alleys. 📍【Transportation Mode】 From Zhangjiakou, take 🚄D1048 to Xuanhua North Station, change to the bus 🚌 into the city, do not take a taxi 🚗, easy walking tour. 🗺️ Walking route (can be completed in half a day): Daxinmen ➡ South Mosque ➡ Qingyuan Building (not available) ➡ Shi En Temple (closed at noon) ➡ Zhenshuo Building (unavailable) ➡ Joseph's Nunnery (suspected abandoned) ➡ Catholic Church (not open) ➡ Xuanhua Museum (✅ can be visited) 🏛️ Highlights Overview: 📌Qingyuan Building | Known as the "Second Yellow Crane Building", it is full of ancient meaning, but unfortunately it can't be visited. 📌 Xuanhua Museum | ✅ Free to visit, the exhibits are concise and easy to understand, suitable for quickly understanding the local history. 📌Kowloon Wall | Although not as grand as Datong, but well preserved, suitable for stopping to take pictures📷. 📌Arch Tower | ✅ With ID card 🪪 can be on, a model of Ming Dynasty official architecture, the city tower has a good view, do not miss it!! ️ ⚠️ Tips: Most of the attractions are heritage-protected units that can be viewed on the outside but are not open to the public. 🕐 Shien Temple is only open in the morning, it is recommended to go early. 🎫 Xuanhua Museum, Gongji Building free, remember to bring your ID card🪪 to register. 👟 It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes 👟, there are many stone roads, there are ups and downs. ✅ Summary: An unexpected surprise return landmark Although the doors of many attractions are closed, walking among them brings an "archaeological sense". Compared with lively scenic spots, such "semi-open" ancient cities are more suitable for walking slowly and measuring the city's old times with your feet. 📌 Xuan Hua, suitable for walking with the heart, not in a hurry you will like. 🌟Do you know any low-key and story-telling small towns in Hebei?
