Nestled in the valleys of Shunping County lies a crystal-clear stream named Xiangshui Creek, which translates to "Enjoy the Water." Surrounded by towering mountains and flowing gently, this creek is an ideal summer retreat to escape the heat and connect with nature. You can trace the stream upstream, feeling the refreshing spring water underfoot, or rest on the large rocks by the creek, listening to the chirping of birds and the hum of insects, savoring the tranquility of being away from the world. With minimal commercial development, Xiangshui Creek retains its pristine natural beauty. This is a rejuvenating journey for the body and soul, allowing you to completely unwind amidst the pure mountain and water scenery.

The Wang’s Manor was first built during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of nearly 400 years! This is an ancient courtyard that has been seriously underestimated and neglected... 🇨🇳It is the largest and most complete existing general's residence and the mansion of a wealthy merchant in the Qing Dynasty. It is a rare and super-standard castle-style residential building complex in the history of ancient architecture in the Qing Dynasty. 📍Shunping Yaoshan Town, Baoding City can be reached in half an hour by car🚗 The manor was built by Wang Xigun, the ancestor of the Wang family. Wang Xigun was a fourth-rank lieutenant general under the Qing regent Dorgon. He followed the Qing army into the pass and made outstanding military achievements. Rumor has it that he was granted the title of Lord of the Nanyao Mountains, where he rode horses and occupied a pen, and built a manor on a large scale. Another version is that the manor was built by Wang Xigun, a secret envoy of Dorgon, in the south of Beijing with silver allocated from the treasury. It was a private residence for the people and an official outside the capital. After Dorgon's death, the manor became the property of Wang Xigun. The architecture of Wang's Manor is different from both imperial palaces and government offices and ordinary residential houses. It is the best of residential architecture in northern my country. There is a saying that "for royal architecture, look at the Forbidden City; for folk architecture, look at Yaoshan (Wang Family)". There are more than 1,000 houses in the manor. The "Renhe Hall", as the core building complex, is a large courtyard consisting of 10 courtyards, which has become an extremely precious ancient building cultural relic. This place has also become a rare film and television shooting base The manor building is mainly in gray tones, simple, generous, solemn and elegant. The exquisite carvings, brick carvings, stone carvings, and wood carvings, all have the theme of "happiness, wealth, and longevity", and use the homophonic sounds of the carved objects to form auspicious blessings. Unfortunately, the renovation here is not complete yet, and only a small part of the original manor is open to the public. However, one can truly feel the desolation of the general's death and the fall of the Qing Dynasty... I hope it can be restored and perfected as soon as possible to restore the prosperous appearance of Wang's Manor... 🎫: 8:30-17:00, 30 yuan/person
