I went here during Chinese holidays, but it wasn't crowdy very much. So I can recommend this place in China. But first of all because of its beauty, of course. Temple is gorgeous. you can use cable car to get up / down. Cable car is not cheap, but this price is usual in China for such attractions. Also on the way back you can get taxi van if you are tired. It's not expensive at all but the ride was pretty fast as for me🙄🤗🤗 #happynewyear

happy new year to all and have a great new year #happynewyear

#earthdayjourney 🌱 Cangyan Mountain – Sacred Nature Preserved We explored Cangyan Mountain, a stunning natural area rich in history and biodiversity. The mountain’s ecosystem is protected through limited visitor access, eco-trails, and the use of electric shuttles to reduce carbon emissions. As we hiked up to the famous bridge monastery nestled in the cliffs, we admired the harmony between ancient architecture and pristine nature. I would recommend taking the forest trail for a peaceful and low-impact experience. 🏞️🌿 📍 Address: Cangyanshan Town, Jingxing County, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China 🌾 Shijiazhuang Botanical Garden – A Green Urban Lung We ventured into Shijiazhuang Botanical Garden, a peaceful retreat designed to educate the public on plant conservation and sustainable living. The garden integrates solar-powered facilities, water-saving irrigation, and educational programs focused on environmental awareness. Strolling through the various sections, we felt connected to the Earth through the beauty of native and exotic plant life. I would recommend visiting the eco-garden section to see how everyday gardening can be sustainable. 🌼🌍 📍 Address: No. 60 Tianshan Street, Yuhua District, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China 🌎 Hutuo River Ecological Corridor – A Riverside Revival We visited the Hutuo River Ecological Corridor, a revitalized green belt that promotes biodiversity and urban sustainability. The area is designed with walking and cycling paths, wetland zones, and green infrastructure to manage water runoff and improve air quality. As we biked along the river, we saw how the city transformed a once-polluted area into a thriving eco-space. I would recommend cycling at sunset for cool breezes and scenic views. 🚴♀️🌊 📍 Address: Along Hutuo River, across multiple districts, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China

| A Hidden Wonderland Within the Second Ring Road! In 1997, our teacher excitedly announced in class that Shijiazhuang had decided to build an artificial river to end the history of having no river and water shortage in the city. The whole class cheered at the news, and everyone's eyes sparkled. To this end, every unit in the city, even elementary school students, donated at least one yuan each. This river, built with the efforts and expectations of the whole people, was named Minxin River. But after learning its route, we were a little disappointed, because the birth of this river meant that our "Little Woods" would no longer exist. I grew up on the west side of the Minxin River, which was once the place where the old Zhengtai Railway passed. After the Japanese army was defeated, they gathered at the old West Station to board the train and leave Shijiazhuang. Before the North Station opened to passenger traffic, trains from Shanxi passed through here all the way, diagonally across the city via Xinhua Road, Zhongshan Road, and Yuhua Road. The elders said that my father studied very hard when he was a child. Because there were many people in his family and it was noisy, he often went to the railway early in the morning to read. At that time, there was an old cemetery area next to the railway tracks, and even broken stone horses and sheep were lying in the wasteland... It was indeed quiet. I liked to listen to the strange and bizarre stories my father told about the railway, which were his golden childhood years. After the Shide and Shitai lines were opened, this line was gradually abandoned. In 1975, the old railway was demolished, and along with the railway, my father's life also lost his deceased grandfather... From then on, weeds grew everywhere, and a boy grew up overnight. When I went to school, this place was called Little Woods, a long and narrow wasteland that could reach the new Shitai Line. I climbed torch trees here, collected leaves to make leaf paintings, roasted locusts and sweet potatoes, and when I was ignorant, I drove birds away from bird catchers with sticky nets with my friends. One year, a few older children found a section of abandoned railway track while playing in the Little Woods. Everyone ran to see it, and I went too, wanting to see the bookish morning in the story. The Little Woods passed Heping Road to the north, and walls began to appear on the east side of the road. Inside the walls were the experimental fields of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Some places raised rabbits and poultry, and there was a large field of wheat near the railway in the deepest part. Who says children don't understand romance? When the wheat turned green and yellow, I made an appointment with a few good playmates to bring the snacks we had saved for a few days on the weekend: Bu Bu Xing, Jia Li Jia, Xiang Xiang Guo, Kang Kang Bing... Like Coco and the others in the movie "Picnic," we carefully climbed to the top of the wall, and went all the way along the wall to the edge of the wheat field for a "picnic." We sat on the ground and watched the Shitai Line train whistle to the platform. In 1999, the Minxin River was completed and opened to water. In 2005, the wheat field here became Shintai Park. Standing with my child on the earthen slope by the northern wall of the park, I can still see the green trains and freight trains going to the North Station, carrying time day after day, getting old and slow. I told To that this used to be a large experimental field, sometimes planted with cotton and sometimes with wheat. The Lotus Pond used to be the home of rabbits, and I secretly touched the little baby rabbits that had just grown hair. To was dubious, really? Where are the rabbits now? Those rabbits may be eating grass in a place called "Little Woods." Location: Shintai Park

| Time Imprints in "China's Most Beautiful Ancient Village." Among the many ancient villages I have visited, many are shrouded in a strong commercial atmosphere. However, deep in the Taihang Mountains, there is an ancient village that maintains its original flavor - Daliangjiang Village. This ancient village is built against the mountain, with a well-arranged layout. The main buildings are mostly built of stone, and most of the buildings can be traced back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, exuding a simple and elegant charm everywhere. The courtyards of Daliangjiang Ancient Village are mainly brick and stone quadrangles, cleverly integrating the neat and grand style of Beijing quadrangles and the exquisite and delicate style of Shanxi dwellings, forming a unique style. Here, there are courtyards within courtyards, buildings within buildings, and the roofs can be connected to the courtyards. The courtyards and buildings are connected to each other, which makes people marvel at the ingenious architectural ideas of the ancients. 👀 When you come to Daliangjiang Ancient Village, don't miss these places: the Wuju Ren Courtyard, which demonstrates historical glory, the stone archway that carries the traces of time, the ancient well that nourishes generations of villagers, the Guandi Temple that entrusts faith, and the ancient Sophora japonica tree that witnesses the changes of time. 🎫 Ticket information: For only CNY 15 per person, you can immerse yourself in the unique charm of this ancient village. 🚗 Transportation guide: Self-driving is the most convenient way to travel, allowing you to flexibly arrange your itinerary and fully enjoy the scenery along the way. 🕐 Opening hours: 8:00–17:00, providing ample visiting time for tourists. 🅿️ Parking service: There is a free parking lot at the entrance of the village, eliminating worries about parking. 📍 Geographical location: Nanzhangcheng Town, Jingxing County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province.

If you’re planning a trip, here are three must-visit spots for the best cherry blossom views.

The best time to visit is in the morning when the light is soft and the area is less crowded. 📍 Address: Zhaoxian County, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Shijiazhuang Botanical Garden – A Floral Paradise 🌺🌸 This garden was a highlight of our trip! The cherry blossom section is absolutely breathtaking, with trees blooming alongside tulips and other spring flowers. We recommend visiting in the morning when the air is fresh and the sunlight highlights the vibrant colors of the petals. It’s a perfect spot for both photography and a peaceful stroll. 📍 Address: 60 Botanical Garden Road, Luquan District, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Shijiazhuang is a fantastic cherry blossom destination, blending history, nature, and city parks.
