#September2025 Yunhua Valley resembles a flowing landscape painting. In spring and summer, the valley is ablaze with blossoms, shrouded in mist and clouds, creating a fairyland-like experience. Walking along the wooden plank path, the gurgling stream and the fragrance of flowers wafting in the breeze are refreshing. Along the way, small bridges, flowing water, unique rocks, and ancient trees complement each other beautifully. The gentle breeze stirs petals, and their falling petals resemble a blanket of snow. Looking up, the distant mountains appear and disappear in the mist, a dreamlike scene. Whether sitting quietly by the stream, listening to the water's rustle, or strolling among the flowers, letting your thoughts drift, you can feel the gentleness and romance of nature. This place is more than just a landscape; it's like a gentle poem, cleansing the soul.

#September2025 Fuping's Tiansheng Bridge resembles a work of nature, a majestic natural stone bridge formed by a massive rock spanning a canyon. The stream rushes beneath the bridge, shrouded in mist and creating a dreamlike scene. Climbing the mountain path, you'll find lush forests on either side, birdsong mingling with the murmur of springs. Standing atop the stone bridge, overlooking the turbulent valley below, one is filled with awe: the power of nature is truly miraculous. In the morning mist, the Tiansheng Bridge emerges like a fairyland, the sunlight filtering through the fog, casting a shadowy shadow, captivating the senses. This is a secret place where one can truly let go of the hustle and bustle of life and listen to the pulse of nature.

#SeptemberGoodPlaces2025 The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region Revolutionary Memorial Hall stands quietly amidst verdant pines and cypresses, its gray-white walls striking a solemn presence in the sunlight. Stepping inside, historical photos, precious documents, and exhibits transport visitors back to those war-torn years. Old guns, printing presses, and crude medical equipment in the exhibition hall silently speak of the hardships and perseverance of the War of Resistance. Each photo of a martyr bears a resolute gaze, as if gazing across time and space. Approaching the monument, a gentle breeze caresses the rustling of pine trees, like the whispers of heroic spirits. This place is more than a memorial; it is a spiritual legacy. Leaving, a silent respect wells up in my heart, making me cherish the peaceful years that lie ahead even more.

During a weekend trip around Baoding, we just found this little but beautiful temple in the deep mountain which is called “仙人寺”. Local people told us that the temple was built some hundreds years ago, but was completely destroyed during the Great Cultural Revolution in China in 1970’. The current temple was rebuilt around 30 years ago in 1990’.#historicallandmarks #历史古迹 #localguides

I am very satisfied with this hotel. The room is clean and comfortable, the service staff is very friendly, and the location is convenient. Many attractions can be reached on foot. I will stay here again next time! The breakfast has a variety of choices and is highly recommended.

I went to Tiansheng Bridge more than ten years ago. It was summer and there were not many people there. I only realized this time that I only reached the "first waterfall" and then came down. Last week, I climbed up to the "Eight Waterfalls" step by step, and I'm still in good physical condition. Relatively speaking, I am afraid of going down the mountain because my big toe hurts and taking the cable car. Starting from Shijiazhuang, it takes two hours to drive there and two hours to drive back. Friends who are interested can go and have a look.
