Step into Boyan Ancient Town and feel the echoes of history.

Boyan Ancient Town is located in the southeast of Wu'an City, south of Drum Mountain and north of Nanming River. It has beautiful scenery and rich agricultural resources. At the same time, it has a profound historical and cultural heritage and has preserved a large number of well-preserved ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Boyan Town, under the jurisdiction of Wu'an City, Handan City, Hebei Province, is located in the south of Wu'an City, with an area of 43 square kilometers. Located on the open alluvial plain on the north foot of Drum Mountain and the south bank of Henan, it is a historic ancient town at the junction of Taihang Mountain and the eastern plain. According to the "Wu'an County Chronicles", Boyan Village was built in the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty. Because the village was like a wild goose spreading its wings in the field, it was called Boyan, and later generations changed "Yan" to "Yan". It is located in the west of Taihang Mountain and the east of North China Plain. It is an important channel connecting Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces, and it is also the earliest commercial town in Wu'an. Here, there are more than 150 old houses in the late Qing Dynasty. The legendary "county-based gang" in the business world once happened here. At the beginning, several families moved here, cultivated the fields, and later generations moved in one after another, multiplied and thrived, and gradually developed into a market town in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, one of the eight towns in Wu'an. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Boyan people went out to do business, and there were rich merchants and giants such as Fang, Xu, Zhu, Cheng, and Zhai. They built houses and had a great influence. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Boyan Town has always been the location of the district and township (town) government. In 1996, Zhuangyan Township was incorporated into Boyan Town and has continued to this day.

Wu'an Qingyan Temple Village - Fahua Cave Grottoes.

Before, I only knew that every spring, I would come to Qingyan Temple Village to enjoy the apricot blossoms. This year, I saw the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue at the Handan Museum Stone Carving Exhibition, and I finally had the chance to see it today. The Fahua Cave Grottoes have three caves, with Northern Song Dynasty statues. In addition to the beautifully shaped Thousand-Hand Guanyin in the main cave, there are also 500 Arhat statues, but most of the heads were repaired in recent years after being damaged. However, most of the grottoes are mainly Thousand Buddhas, and there are very few 500 Arhat caves in the country. Perhaps this place is hidden deep in the village and is not well-known. It took a lot of effort to find it by car. Interestingly, there is a master in the temple. As soon as I arrived, he enthusiastically greeted me to worship and followed me all the way. He asked about the origin of the name of Fahua Temple. Because I knew about the concept of the three vehicles in one in the "Lotus Sutra" before I came, I wanted to explore further, so I asked. He replied: "I'm not sure about this. This is Mahayana Buddhism. It's very effective. Many people from Beijing, Shanghai, and Wutai Mountain come to donate incense and fire. Only when you give money can you get it back thousands of times." Then I didn't say much. The full name of the "Lotus Sutra" is "The Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law". Its highlight is the three convenient vehicles, the true one vehicle, which can be said to be the culmination of Mahayana thought. The three vehicles of Buddhism are the Sravaka Vehicle (Hinayana), the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle (Middle Vehicle), and the Bodhisattva Vehicle (Mahayana). These three vehicles represent the three levels of Buddhist teachings, each with its own unique practice methods and goals. The Sravaka Vehicle and the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle pay more attention to personal practice and liberation, while the Bodhisattva Vehicle emphasizes self-improvement and ultimate enlightenment in helping others. The core concept of the Three Vehicles of Buddhism is that through different practice paths, everyone has the possibility to achieve ultimate enlightenment and liberation. From the perspective of the Fahua Cave Grottoes, the 500 Arhats represent the Sravaka Vehicle, the stone tablet has the verse "Twelve causes and conditions of love and hate, no hate, no love, no ignorance" is the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, and finally the Thousand-Hand Guanyin is the Bodhisattva Vehicle. Therefore, the Fahua Cave Grottoes are named after the "Fahua" in the "Lotus Sutra".

There is a feeling of "the peak is connected to the sky, and the boat travels from the ground cave". - Yunya Jizhi: There is a rock under the cliff, and it is said that Song Taizu wrote words here. There were traces of words before the library was built, but it is difficult to recognize. - Dangerous rock Tibetan scriptures: The reservoir is located four kilometers northeast of Dingjin Rock Chan Guo Temple.

The jade face is upside down, and the bridge is projected, called "Dieyue Bridge". - Songzu Gorge: Take a boat back to the entrance and then drive to the west branch, as if entering a gorgeous art gallery, this is Songzu Gorge. In those years, Zhao Kuangyin traveled around the world, passing through the Taihang Mountains, and wrote the poem "Yong Ri" to express his ambition: "I want to go out and not go out, the light is hot, thousands of mountains and rivers are like fire. For a while, I went to the sky, chasing the stars and chasing the moon." After he became emperor, he sent someone to engrave the poem on the rock under the cliff, and the handwriting still exists.

Overall: The last two images are maps, the fluorescent green is the route we took, totaling 13 kilometers, climbing 500 meters, taking 5 hours; 2. Cable car: Take the cable car right after entering. We climb mountains all year round, and we chose the cable car here because the top of the mountain is vast and time-consuming. We walked and climbed 13 kilometers on the mountain top, and the scenery is beautiful in a large area on the top. Unless you have absolutely enough time, you can try not to take the cable car. The cable car section has 2900 steps to walk up the mountain; 3. Get off the cable car at South Heaven Gate, and start walking towards 'Middle Heaven Gate' clockwise 4. Near Middle Heaven Gate, there is an elevator. If you have poor physical strength, you can take it. It's relatively easy to climb up more than 200 steps; you don't need to buy an elevator ticket if you have a cable car ticket 5. Continue clockwise from Middle Heaven Gate to the spaceship restaurant, Taihang Pillar 6. If you want to go to North Peak from the Pillar, do not take the elevator down, because taking the elevator will miss the fork in the road to North Peak (if you have poor physical strength, don't go to North Peak, you can continue the clockwise tour by taking this elevator down;) 7. Start descending from the left fork of the elevator, go down to the next level, and you will see the sign to the left towards North Peak 8. Keep going forward, there is also an elevator to leverage, you can take it or not depending on your physical strength 9. Walk past a waterfall and a section of the Great Wall 10.

Head back, all the way to the Pillar, continue down towards the elevator, keep walking, this part feels very long, finally walk to the cable car to go down the mountain; ✨Average physical strength: Just take the cable car up and walk the flatter roads, take the elevator when you see it, if you can walk then go directly to the Pillar for a round trip, which is also 9km. If you have average physical strength, just turn back as far as you can walk after getting off the cable car; ⚠️Note: 1. The wind is quite strong on the mountain, it's a bit chilly, keep warm 2. There are two or three small restaurants and snack bars selling food and drinks, but it's best to bring 2 bottles of water yourself 3. The mountain is steep, pay attention to safety;

Can you believe that Jingniang Lake in Handan has such beautiful scenery?

Can you believe that Jingniang Lake in Handan has such beautiful scenery? 👍 Jingniang Lake is located to the north of Koushang Village in the northwestern mountainous area of Wu'an City, Handan, Hebei Province. It is a national 4A-level tourist attraction, known as the 'Taihang Three Gorges'. The area is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with picturesque scenery, making it a place where people linger and forget to return. 🌹 After arriving at the scenic area, I first went to the dock to take a boat. The lake water is clear and the breeze is gentle, making me feel as if I am in a fairyland. On the boat, I also saw the cliffs by the lake and the overlapping mountains in the distance, which were very spectacular. After getting off the boat, I started to tour Jingniang Lake on foot. There are many scenic spots in the area, such as Songzu Peak, Jingniang Temple, and Huilong Valley. My favorite is Huilong Valley, which is a natural oxygen bar with fresh air and lush trees! 🌹 In addition to the natural scenery, Jingniang Lake also has many entertainment projects, such as glass walkways, high-altitude zip lines, roller coasters, etc.😏 Jingniang Lake

The taste is also quite good. Note that although breakfast and dinner are provided for four people, the children were not charged extra. For lunch, the two children were charged 20 yuan for the pulled noodles, which was the only time we paid during the entire stay. The accommodation included two tickets for Qibu Gorge activities, covering the scenic area entrance fee, snow play park, parent-child park, and ski slope. Each attraction is very child-friendly, with all children on the edge of the height requirement being admitted for free, which is fantastic! Although we only had two tickets, we had a very fulfilling time. The snow play park was visited by the mothers with the children, and the parent-child park by the fathers. On the second day, the mothers took the kids to the Qibu Gorge scenic area, trying out various equipment, including the sightseeing car, flying carpet, walking, and alpine slide. Finally, we reached the location of the 129th Division Field Hospital. After the children finished visiting, the fathers drove up, and we continued our journey by car, admiring the ice waterfall landscape, which was truly beautiful. With limited time, we didn't spend much at the ski slope, and indeed, we were physically exhausted. A small incident occurred during a meal in the private dining room, which, besides the dining table, also had a tea table and a mahjong machine (free to play). A screen was used to separate the areas, and a child from a friend's family accidentally knocked over the screen. The wooden screen was heavy, and the noise was loud, startling everyone. The parents called a waiter to offer compensation, but after contacting the owner, the owner said not to worry about it and that as long as the child was fine, it was okay. I was truly impressed by the owner's magnanimity and sincerely wish the owner prosperity and a booming business. Since Handan became famous for its Warring States robes, the number of tourists from other places has been increasing. I hope you come across this post. Among the homestays in Wu'an, which are usually priced at three to four thousand, this economical and all-inclusive little villa is really an incredible value!!!

I can't believe that Jingniang Lake in Handan has such beautiful scenery

I can't believe that Jingniang Lake in Handan has such beautiful scenery! 📸 Jingniang Lake is located to the north of Koushang Village in the northwestern mountainous area of Wu'an City, Handan, Hebei Province. It is a national 4A level scenic spot, known as the 'Taihang Three Gorges'. The area is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with picturesque scenery, making it a place where people linger and forget to return. 🏞 After arriving at the scenic area, I first went to the pier to take a boat. The lake water is clear to the bottom, and a gentle breeze caresses the face, making one feel as if they are in a fairyland. On the boat, I also saw the cliffs by the lake and the overlapping mountains in the distance, which were very spectacular. 🌳 After disembarking, I started to walk around Jingniang Lake. There are many attractions in the scenic area, such as Songzufeng, Jingniang Temple, and Huilong Valley. My favorite is Huilong Valley, which is a natural oxygen bar with fresh air and lush trees. 🚶‍♂ In addition to the natural scenery, Jingniang Lake also offers many entertainment activities, such as glass walkways, high-altitude zip lines, roller coasters, etc.

So close, so beautiful, head to Hebei for the weekend

If you're in Handan or find yourself there, you must visit the Eastern Taihang scenic area at least once. Located within the Wu'an jurisdiction, it is a mountainous natural scenic area that combines the grandeur, strangeness, peril, and steepness of the Taihang Mountains with the beauty of unique rocks, sea of clouds, tranquility, and ever-changing vistas. Strolling along the plank walkways here, with clouds and mist swirling around, it truly feels like 'grasping the beauty of the ridge of heaven, wandering above the clouds,' and life suddenly becomes bright and clear. It is recommended to take the cable car up (unless you are a physically fit young person), because after taking the cable car, you start from the South Heaven Gate and mostly walk on the cloud-level plank walkways at an altitude of over a kilometer. The whole journey also takes more than 3 hours, and when you reach the Sky Beyond Sky and the Ridge of Heaven, you'll have to climb mountains. Along the way, the scenery is endless and breathtaking.

Handan Travel Guide

Dear travel enthusiasts, as the flowers bloom in spring, are you also looking for a less-known travel destination with beautiful scenery and fewer tourists? Today, I want to reveal a small yet beautiful place hidden in Hebei—Handan. Not only does it boast beautiful natural landscapes, but it also has a rich cultural heritage, and most importantly, almost all of its attractions are free! Handan, this city located at the southernmost tip of Hebei, may not be as well-known as some big cities, but it has its own unique charm. During the May Day holiday, I chose it as my travel destination, hoping to find tranquility and beauty here. On the first night, I drove to the downtown area of Handan and checked into a hotel with great value for money—Suncoo Premium Hotel. Although I didn't arrive until after 1 a.m., the comfortable environment of the hotel quickly sent me into dreamland. The next day, I got up early and headed to the famous Nantian Village. The herds of cattle, flocks of sheep, wild birds, and the babbling brooks here compose a beautiful picture, making one feel as if they were in Hulunbuir. In the afternoon, I visited Handan's Zishan Park. Although it wasn't as stunning as described online, strolling in the park and feeling the breath of spring was quite a unique experience. At night, I stayed at the Handan Junyue Hotel, which was affordable and the rooms were clean and tidy. A family room cost only 178 yuan and included breakfast, which was a great value. On the third day, I visited Heilongdong, where the spring water is clear and sweet, even better than Baotu Spring. The photo effects were also super beautiful, as if I were in a fairyland. Then, I went to Yiquan Lake Cultural Park, which is vast and beautiful, and consumption is very cheap. I spent a relaxing and pleasant afternoon here, taking many beautiful photos. At night, I stayed at the Longtengge Hotel, looking forward to the next day's journey. On the fourth day, I visited Shengfu Tianlu and Chaoyang Lake Scenic Area. Shengfu Tianlu winds and twists with breathtaking scenery along the way; Chaoyang Lake Scenic Area is a natural embrace, with clear waters and shady green trees. Many people were barbecuing, playing in the water, and catching shrimp, enjoying the good times. At night, I stayed at the Wu'an Lanshengju Hotel, which brought my trip to a perfect end. This trip to Handan made me deeply appreciate the charm of this small city. Although it lacks the hustle and bustle of big cities, it has its own unique natural scenery and cultural heritage. If you are also looking for a less-known travel destination, why not come and explore Handan!

Exploring the ancient Wudang Mountain in Handan at night

✨Exploring the ancient Wudang Mountain in Handan at night✨ 🌙Under the night sky of Handan, with a gentle breeze, it's the perfect time to climb the ancient Wudang Mountain. Standing at 1438 meters, the mountain is like a mysterious tower between heaven and earth. Filled with anticipation and excitement, we embarked on this adventure. 🍜For food preparation, I carefully selected instant noodles, sausages, and bread as supplies for any contingency. Along the way, we were pleasantly surprised to find stalls selling water and instant noodles halfway up the mountain and at the summit, which was extremely convenient. Interestingly, the price of mineral water was 6 yuan halfway up the mountain, but it dropped to 5 yuan at the summit, perhaps because the wind is fresher there! 🌌The ancient Wudang Mountain has a different charm under the night sky. Climbing the steep stairs, it felt as if we were in the starry sky. Looking up, the stars were dazzlingly brilliant, almost within reach. When we reached halfway up the mountain, the view became even more enchanting. On one side were towering peaks reaching into the clouds, and on the other was the vast night sky, dotted with stars, like a magnificent painting. 🏞️Finally reaching the summit, the view opened up before us. The sky bridge and the Cloud Top Palace came into view, as if we were in a fairyland. On the way down, we encountered Echo Valley and unique check-in boards, which added a lot of fun. Also, by stopping in front of the science popularization boards, we learned about the Zhangshiyan landform, making the trip truly worthwhile. 🚗During this night climb of Wudang Mountain, we found that many people were with us, and some even brought tents to watch the sunrise. Everyone encouraged and helped each other, making this adventure even more memorable. However, it's important to note that when driving there, there might be traffic near the Taihang Mountain scenic area, so it's best to plan your trip in advance. When returning to the city around 2 a.m., people tend to get sleepy, so it's advisable to take turns driving to ensure safety.
