Experience the stunning sight of three pagodas in one frame, and the beautiful sunset beneath the ancient city walls awaits you!

🌞Looking for a small town full of historical charm and surprises for the summer of 2024? Nine towers, four pagodas, eight temples, and twenty-four golden archways, this is Zhengding in Hebei, the hometown of Zhao Zilong, an ancient military stronghold! 🛫Due to the policies of Zhengding Airport in the early years, I took off and landed here multiple times, but never really stepped into this small town. Unexpectedly, this visit brought me such a big surprise! 🚶Zhengding Citywalk one-day tour guide: Airport → Ancient City → Longxing Temple → Rongguo House → Tianning Temple → Confucian Temple → Kaiyuan Temple → Yanghe Tower → Linji Temple → Guanghui Temple → Sunset viewing at Zhengding South Gate City Wall 🏯Must-visit attractions recommendation: 1. Longxing Temple: The most worthwhile temple to visit in Zhengding city, one of China's top ten famous temples. It has the halls from the Northern Song Dynasty, and Mr. Liang Sicheng visited four times. Especially the 'Eastern Beauty' suspended Guanyin statue praised by Mr. Lu Xun, as well as the oldest revolving sutra repository and the bronze cast Thousand-Hand Guanyin, are treasures not to be missed. 2. Rongguo House: The filming location for the 1987 version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts to capture the same scenes. Daning Temple: A Song Dynasty relic, home to the earliest ancient pagoda with a central pillar structure in China. 3. Yanghe Tower: A place to rest when tired, taste snacks, and from the second floor, you can overlook the beautiful scenery. 4. Linji Temple: The ancestral temple of the Linji school of Buddhism, one of the five major schools of Zen Buddhism. 5. Guanghui Temple: The 'unique example overseas' flower pagoda praised by Liang Sicheng, is very distinctive. 6. South Gate City Wall: At sunset, you can see four pagodas here, and with a telephoto lens, you can capture the spectacular view of three pagodas in one frame. 🏠Accommodation and food: It is recommended to stay within the ancient city, as accommodation and food are affordable in the small town of Zhengding. For food, the night market is a must-visit, with the Zhengding small commodity market night market located opposite Zhengding station being highly recommended. Additionally, donkey meat sandwiches, hohhot noodles, rib noodles, Zhengding's eight great bowls, hot cut meatballs, and other local specialties are not to be missed. Don't overlook the northern meatball shaomai, which has a completely different texture from the southern sticky rice shaomai!
