This thousand-year-old town can no longer be hidden! Nuanquan Ancient Town is waiting for you to explore! Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city? Looking for a place to relax and unwind? Yu County's Nuanquan Ancient Town is only 200 km from Beijing. It only takes two or three hours to get there～ Nuanquan Ancient Town, founded in the Yuan Dynasty, gets its name from a hot spring in the town that never freezes. The town still retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with blue bricks and gray tiles, full of ancient charm. 🌸Things to do: **Dashuhua (Molten Iron Fireworks)** This is a unique traditional folk activity in Nuanquan Ancient Town, with a history of more than 500 years. Artisans splash molten iron onto the city walls, and the iron bursts into thousands of sparks upon cooling, forming a magnificent tree-like crown! **Visit the ancient castles** There are three ancient castles in the town: Beiguan Fort, Xigu Fort, and Zhongxiao Fort. Each one carries a rich history, worth savoring. **Opera** There is a stage just inside the town gate, and occasionally people are invited to perform. I went on the 15th and even encountered the God of Wealth handing out red envelopes at the entrance～ 🍚Food: Yu County has a wide variety of special snacks, such as Nuanquan dried tofu, yellow rice cake, and fento… At the entrance, there are starch-coated sausages, two large ones for 5 yuan, absolutely a bargain, and delicious! 💝Souvenirs: **Yu County Paper-cuts** As a national intangible cultural heritage, Yu County paper-cuts are known for their exquisite patterns and unique craftsmanship. **Nuanquan Pottery** Made from local clay, it has a fine texture and simple shapes.

In the shadows of the mossy gray bricks, Footsteps of passersby tread over the fleeting and careless life, The Nan'an Temple Tower leans over and gathers its mottled reflection, The Dougong brackets of the Jade Emperor Pavilion hang empty, waiting for their destined one! At this moment, the stone steps of the Shijia Temple are silent, Two stone lions carry a thousand years of time, accompanying me in the sun. Route: Jade Emperor Pavilion ➠ God of Wealth Temple ➠ Zhenwu Temple ➠ Lingyan Temple ➠ Jixing Tower ➠ Drum Tower ➠ Weizhou Government Office ➠ Nan'an Temple Tower ➠ Wanshan Tower ➠ Jingxian Gate ➠ Shijia Temple

Beijing Surroundings-Weixian County When I arrived in Wei County, the locals told me that they do not pronounce this word as yù, but always as yǔ, which is the pronunciation habit of the local dialect. 🌈Black Myth: Wukong brought popularity to Shanxi and also brought popularity to Weixian County. It is located at the intersection of Hengshan Mountain, Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain. It was built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and is now more than a thousand years old. Weizhou had a very unfortunate fate in history. After the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun" were occupied by the Khitans, Weizhou was incorporated into the Liao Kingdom, and then occupied by the Mongols. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that it became a prosperous commercial center. To be honest, in the whole Zhangjiakou, I particularly like Wei County (Weizhou), where there are many historical sites, various temples, Taoist temples, ancient towers, ancient castles, theaters and houses full of fireworks. It is obviously in Hebei, but I think it looks a bit like Shanxi. 🌈Weizhou Ancient City seems to be a hidden corner of time and space in Wei County. It is like a paradise isolated from the world and a door to the past. The residents here seem to live a life completely different from that outside the ancient city, finding a unique balance between modernity and tradition. The lack of excessive tourist commercialization makes this ancient city more authentic, full of life and historical charm. 🌈Main attractions in the city: 🔸Yuhuang Pavilion (🎫20) Recommended👍🏻 The filming location of "Black Myth: Wukong", the fairy palace on the clouds, was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. The Jade Emperor Pavilion is a wooden structure without a single iron nail. It is entirely held together by wooden mortise and tenon joints. The pavilion contains exquisite Ming Dynasty murals, paintings, and carvings, reflecting the ancient religious culture and artistic level! Coming here is like traveling through time and space. Walking into the main hall, there is a solemn statue of the Jade Emperor, and on the walls are breathtaking murals. The large murals on the east, west and north walls, with their exquisite gilding technique, present vivid mythological stories. Especially the mural of "Thirty-six Thunder Gods", each of which has a different image, holding a magical instrument, and is both majestic and dynamic. 🔸Zhenwu Temple The Zhenwu Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty and is a place dedicated to the Zhenwu Emperor. There are well-preserved Taoist murals in the temple. 🔸Nan'an Temple Pagoda (🎫6) A landmark ancient building, this tower is a historical heritage that was first built during the Northern Wei Dynasty and later rebuilt during the Liao Dynasty. The 13-story solid brick tower with dense eaves had some parts of the first and second floors having been bombarded, and the eaves had also been damaged, but it still stands tenaciously! It is also the filming location of Black Myth, but there is not much to see inside. Instead, the most photographed photo of Nan'an Temple Pagoda at Wanshan Tower is the best📷 🔸Wanshan Tower (🎫15) Wanshan Tower is located at the south gate of the ancient city. It is one of the important symbols of Weizhou Ancient City. The view on the city wall is excellent. Standing on the city wall, you can take pictures of Nan'an Temple Pagoda and Jixing Tower opposite 🔸Lingyan Temple (🎫10) The filming location of Black Myth, the Wudianding Hall (Supreme Master Hall), was first built in the Yuan Dynasty and later rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. There are exquisite caissons here, where you can feel the tranquil Buddhist atmosphere 🔸Shakya Temple (🎫15) Sakyamuni Temple is one of the earliest temples in Weizhou. It is located outside the ancient city, about 300 meters south of Wanshan Tower. You can come here to savor the ancient Buddhist culture. The plaque of smiling with flowers is more worth seeing than Lingyan Temple. It is the only wooden structure in the Yuan Dynasty in the ancient city. It is open to the public at random. The caisson inside is also extremely exquisite. 🔸Fortune Temple: The largest temple of the God of Wealth in Hebei during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, now it is a very small temple 🔸Zhenwu Pavilion: There are murals in the Beiji Hall, but it was not open when I went there. 🔸Changping Warehouse | Gulou (🎫16) Changping Warehouse is an ancient military granary in Weizhou, which was first built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The Drum Tower was built in the Yuan Dynasty. Its main function was to report the incident to the police and to command the enemy. It was once an important alarm tower. Although it is a national protected unit, it is not very interesting to see. There are only two Cang'ao and a Xilou Cang Temple. However, the Drum Tower looks very nice from a distance. 🔸Uiju Office (🎫30) Weizhou Office was the seat of Weizhou in ancient times. It was once the seat of Weixian Yamen. It was rebuilt in 2010. It looks grand, but it is a later building and not very worth seeing. 🌈About transportation 🚄The high-speed rail👉🏻 does not go directly to Weixian, you can only take it to Zhangjiakou and then take a bus 🚗Self-driving👉🏻 is recommended. It takes about 3 hours to navigate to the parking lot of Weizhou Ancient City Scenic Area (free parking), and then start from Yuhuang Pavilion, walk or scan a shared electric car🛵 to tour the ancient city. 🚌Public 👉🏻There are buses to Weixian from Beijing Liuliqiao Long-distance Bus Station 🌈About the tour route Jade Emperor Pavilion➡️Temple of the God of Wealth➡️Zhenwu Temple➡️Lingyan Temple➡️Jixing Tower➡️Drum Tower➡️Weizhou Office➡️Nan'an Temple Pagoda➡️Wanshan Tower➡️Jingxian Gate➡️Shakya Temple 📌 If time permits, you can go to Weixian Museum 🌈About food Hehelou (4.5 stars) A restaurant with a low rating but has been open for more than 20 years and has a rich menu. Specials recommended by the waiter. ✔️Small Four Bowls: Four small bowls of beef, meatballs, and shredded tofu. The taste is salty but acceptable. ✔️Chicken rack stewed with potatoes: It is said that the locals love to order it, it is salty and fresh, cooked with soybean sauce and various spices, a bit of the Northeast flavor, tastes good ✔️You can order half a portion of yellow rice fried cakes and sugar crispy biscuits. The crust is slightly bitter, and they say it’s made with local sesame oil. People from other places may not be used to it, but the biscuits are very crispy. 🌈Nearby attractions ✔️Nuanquan Ancient Town Opening hours: 09:00 - 17:00 Nuanquan Ancient Town is a typical northern ancient town, famous for its springs, markets, ancient buildings and folk culture. In winter, the ancient town is covered with snow, with red lanterns hanging high, and is full of a festive atmosphere. The most famous performance here is the tree flower performance (separate charge, I think it is 🎫120). The molten iron is poured onto the ancient city wall, splashing to form thousands of sparks, like a lush tree crown, which is called "tree flower". The spectacular degree is breathtaking😃. ✔️West Great Fortress It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. It is also the filming location for a segment in the TV series "Going West". You can choose this stop on the way back to Beijing. Many people take pictures of the sunset here, which is quite nice! ✔️Qiupo Village This place is really recommended❗️You must go there, the lake and the mountains are so beautiful, at one moment I felt like I saw a snow-capped mountain ✔️Feihu Valley A place you will pass by on the way to Xiushuipen Village, a classic place to check in and take photos. The mountains in front of me always give me a sense of isolation from the world, and there is indeed no signal📶 The scenery along the way is really nice, and you can stop by the roadside to take pictures. ✔️Sniff Basin Village Navigate here and you can go to the free 🆓sky grassland, the prairie, the grand canyon, and the mountains ⛰️, which is super healing. 🌈 Last words Wei County is a place worth visiting again and again, not for tourism, but to experience life! ✔️Wandering around the city for the first time ✔️The second time you can hike, Feihu Valley, Sky Grassland, Matan Ridge, and Tea Mountain. Newbies can choose Feihu Valley and Matan Ridge. For advanced consideration, consider Chashan Village and Dongdianziliang. But the Sky Grassland is too expensive and not worth it. (I will write a detailed article about hiking later)

Originally built during the Northern Zhou Dynasty and rebuilt in the tenth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Yuzhou Ancient City, the westernmost fortress of the YanYun Sixteen Prefectures, stands as a historical landmark. Controlling the grasslands to the north and the Taihang Mountains to the south, it served as the dividing line between nomadic and agricultural civilizations, earning the title of "The First Prefecture West of Beijing." Today, it retains a blend of vibrant daily life and historical charm. 📍 Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei 🚘 Tour Route: West Great God Fortress ➡ Yuzhou Ancient City ➡ Yuxian Snow Mountain See Figures 5-7 ✅️Check-in Spots 1️⃣ West Great God Fortress ▸ Wasteland Aesthetics Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ With its rammed earth walls and natural cliff defenses, this Ming Dynasty military fortress against foreign enemies also served as a filming location for the TV series *Zou Xikou*. It's a 50-minute drive from Yuzhou Ancient City, which might not be worth a special trip, but combining it with a visit to the ancient city makes for a perfect itinerary. 2️⃣ Jade Emperor Pavilion ▸ The Same Camera Angle as in *Black Myth: Wukong*, the Highest Point of the Ancient City Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The pinnacle of ancient architecture in Yuxian County! With ample parking, it's recommended to start your ancient city tour here, proceeding counterclockwise to cover most of the highlights. Refer to P8. 3️⃣ Lingyan Temple ▸ The Vibrant Four Heavenly Kings Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Initially built during the Jin Dynasty and imperially renovated during the Ming Dynasty, the temple boasts lifelike statues of the Four Heavenly Kings in the front hall and an impressive octagonal coffered ceiling in the rear hall. 4️⃣ Yuzhou Government Office ▸ Reconstructed on Its Original Site Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️ A reconstructed Ming and Qing Dynasty government office, it's personally considered average and not worth the ticket price. 5️⃣ Nan'an Temple Pagoda ▸ Ancient Pagoda from the Northern Wei Dynasty Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Originally built during the Northern Wei Dynasty and renovated during the Liao Dynasty, this 8-sided, 13-story solid brick pagoda sits within a small area, making the ticket purchase less valuable. The stunning photos online are mostly taken from the next attraction, Wanshan Tower. 6️⃣ Wanshan Tower ▸ Check-in Point for Nan'an Temple Pagoda Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wanshan Tower itself is ordinary, but its main draw is the photo opportunity with Nan'an Temple Pagoda, a popular spot for bloggers. However, the afternoon light creates backlight from this angle, making the pagoda appear dark in photos. A morning visit is recommended. 7️⃣ Drum Tower ▸ Overlooking the Ancient City Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️ Located in the heart of the ancient city, ascending the tower offers a panoramic view. 8️⃣ Liyuan Xiaozhuang Village ▸ View of Yuxian Snow Mountain Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shooting Location: Navigate to "Liyuan Xiaozhuang Village." You'll pass a culvert on the way, but the view is visible throughout the journey. The key is to capture the sunset moment. 🚫 Avoid: Zhenwu Temple has been closed for over half a year. Changping Granary is suitable for architecture enthusiasts; general tourists can skip it.

#favouriteitinerary A while ago, I visited Nuanquan Ancient Town, famous for its springs, markets, ancient architecture, and folk culture. With over 2,500 years of history, this town was once a major transportation hub and commercial center in western Yuxian. Exploring the well-preserved buildings in Xigubao and the cultural heritage at Nuanquan Academy was fascinating. The highlight was the Dashuhua Square, where the evening "Dashuhua" performance left me in awe. Despite the cold winter temperatures, wearing a thick coat and scarf kept me warm. Nuanquan Ancient Town's historical charm and cultural richness made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend a visit to this unique and captivating town.

🌈My dears👋, today I must talk to you about a super charming place in Hebei - Wei County! There are so many fun and interesting things here, it is definitely worth a visit! 1. Why must you go to Wei County? When many people talk about ancient buildings, the first thing that comes to mind is Shanxi. But in Wei County, Hebei Province, the density of ancient buildings is beyond imagination! As one of the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun", it has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain. The Khitan cavalry and the Mongolian iron hooves have left their marks here. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became a bustling commercial place. Walking into Wei County is like diving into the long river of history, with stories everywhere📖 In the early Ming Dynasty, Wei County formed a unique "one village, one fort" pattern, and 800 ancient forts were built at the foot of the Great Wall. Although it has gone through the years, more than 300 of them are still preserved! In addition to the castle, there are also the magnificent Taihang Mountains, the fairy-tale-like sky grassland, and endless wooden buildings, Liao Dynasty ancient towers, and Ming and Qing Dynasty murals. It is simply a treasure trove of cultural and natural landscapes💎 2. How to play in three days and two nights Day 1: Encounter ancient charm and excitement In the morning, go to the Sakyamuni Temple, which is a wooden structure from the Yuan Dynasty. Every brick and tile reveals the texture of time. Standing in the temple, you can seem to hear the whispers of history. Then go to Nan'an Temple Pagoda. This exquisite Liao tower is like a silent guardian, witnessing the changes of time. Don't miss the Wanshan Tower next to it. Climb up and you will have a panoramic view of the Nan'an Temple Tower and the ancient city. The view is amazing👍 Go straight to Changping Warehouse in the afternoon to experience the charm of ancient warehousing culture. Then go to Lingyan Temple. The Ming Dynasty hip-and-gable roof architecture and the exquisite caisson will make you marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients. The highlight of the evening is the Jade Emperor Pavilion, which is not only a masterpiece of Ming Dynasty architecture and murals, but you can also climb the city wall of Weixian Ancient City, feel the evening breeze, and imagine the prosperity of the past. After coming out of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, go to the Zhenwu Temple in Zachuanbao Village to feel the quaint charm of the small village. Day 2: A feast of culture and folklore In the morning, go to Gucheng Temple to admire the exquisite murals of the Ming Dynasty, where every stroke tells stories of the past. Then we came to Weizhou Museum, which treasures the historical memory of Wei County. A tour around it will give you a deeper understanding of this city. In the afternoon, we will go to Nuanquan Ancient Town, which is the most unique and best preserved of the 800 castles in ancient Weizhou. Take a stroll in the ancient town and experience the quaint streets and buildings. At night, you must not miss the tree flower performance 🎆 The boiling hot molten iron blooms into gorgeous "flowers" under the artist's splashing. The scene is shocking! Day 3: Explore the ancient castle and historical sites In the morning, go to Danhou Village to see the flagpoles and murals from the Qing Dynasty that remain in the dilapidated castle. Although the castle is a little mottled due to the passage of time, it also adds a bit of vicissitudes of beauty. Then go to Chongtai Temple to appreciate the exquisite murals from the Qing Dynasty and appreciate the unique charm of murals from different periods. In the afternoon, we went to the ancient building complex of Bubeibao, where the Yuquan Temple was quiet and solemn. Afterwards, we went to the ruins of Daiwang City to see the city wall of Dai State in the Spring and Autumn Period and feel the weight of history. The last stop is Xida Shenbao, where you can see the mountaintop castle under the sunset. The golden afterglow sprinkled on the castle is breathtakingly beautiful🌇 3. Practical travel tips 1. Route planning tool: I strongly recommend the mini program "Circle Travel". Enter the attractions you want to visit and you can generate a route with one click. Whether it is calculating the shortest distance or planning the best route, it can easily handle it, and can also customize personalized itineraries, which is simply a must-have for travel🧳 2. Don't miss the food: Weixian food is also very unique, such as Nuanquan Fentuo, Weixian Eight Bowls, and Tang Ma Ye, you must try them, which will definitely satisfy your taste buds😋 3. Accommodation options: If you like the hustle and bustle, you can live in the center of the county, which is convenient for travel and eating; if you want to experience the quaint atmosphere, the homestay in Nuanquan Ancient Town is a good choice, and you can also feel the tranquility of the ancient town at night. My dears, Wei County is really a treasure travel destination, with both profound history and culture and beautiful natural scenery. Hurry up and pack your bags for a spontaneous trip to Wei County. I believe you will fall in love with this place. Don’t forget to protect these precious cultural heritages during your trip so that they can continue to be beautiful!

Jingwei Expressway is open, and it takes just over 2 hours to get from Beijing to Nuanquan Ancient Town in Yu County, which is very convenient. When you mention Nuanquan Ancient Town, you must visit Xigubao. Xigubao was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. When you walk in, you will see many houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The tour guide will tell you stories about the wealthy merchant Mr. Dong and his love for the people. Nuanquan Ancient Town has Xigubao, Zhongxiaobao, and Beiguanbao. Although I didn't see the iron flower show, the food in the ancient town, such as the eight bowls, hanging meat, fried bean curd, rice dumplings, yellow rice cake, and scallion oil mixed with bean curd, was very satisfying. Nuanquan Ancient Town is not very commercialized, and it is simple and long. There are many homestays in the ancient town, some of which are converted from large houses of the Qing Dynasty. Living in them feels very different from home. It is suitable for a weekend visit...

You should always drive yourself into the mountains once. Go and have a full encounter with the mountains and nature, While looking at the scenery along the road, you can feel the vastness of the vast prairie. Say hello to the passing cattle and sheep. In the evening, I happened to watch the sunset on the hillside. The romance of the world is captured in the eyes and the lens, Then I feel that the beauty of life is actually on the road. As long as we have eyes that are good at discovering beauty, The smell of fireworks and the outline of romance falling into the world will come to us inadvertently. Don't miss the opportunity to travel, and don't miss meeting a better version of yourself. tea mountain

Lingyan Temple in Wei County, Hebei Province was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty at the request of Wang Zhen, a great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. The beams in the Heavenly King Hall were praised by Liang Sicheng as "the most beautiful beams in ancient Chinese buildings." The tour guide said that this year Liang Sicheng's students also visited the Heavenly King Hall of Lingyan Temple. The plaque "Supreme World" on the main hall means supreme wisdom. The caissons and columns in the hall are from the Ming Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that they have a history of more than 500 years. They are extremely precious and very wonderful. You must come and see them. "In the boundless tranquility of the Buddha's teachings, one can always observe the self-attainment; in the vast clouds of compassion, one can secretly see the Tathagata in the sky." Although Weixian is a small county under the jurisdiction of Zhangjiakou, it has many treasures. Lingyan Temple is not big, but it has its own unique features. Come and have a look. [Grin]

This hidden hotel in Jingmai Mountain let me sleep in a Pu'er tea garden‼️ 🌟As the first tea culture landscape world heritage site, Jingmai Mountain stands out among many tea-producing areas for its long-standing and unique "under-forest tea" planting method and rich tea culture life. 🌟With the successful application for world heritage status and the entry of tourism capital, this originally niche and secluded place may become the next popular attraction. Before it becomes popular, why not come and experience this rare tranquility? 🌟The scenery of Jingmai Mountain can be roughly divided into three categories: tea forests, ancient villages, and mountain views. In addition to the heritage protection area, the three local luxury resort hotels are also peaceful places that integrate the three types of scenery. This article recommends the Jingmai Mountain Bolian Hotel, which features tea forests. 📍Hotel location: The hotel is located in Huimin Town, on one side of the only road leading to Jingmai Mountain, near the Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall. Due to the lack of obvious signs, it avoids the disturbance of many tourists and achieves a secluded effect. ✅Environmental features: The hotel exclusively occupies a large tea garden. In addition to the core building facing the tea garden, the hotel's spa and gym buildings are surrounded by tea gardens. The rooms are divided into villa areas and ordinary rooms. The villa area is hidden by various ancient trees, and you can see the tea garden from the terrace lawn. 🏨Architectural style: As the first health resort hotel in Asia featuring local culture and scenery, the architecture of Jingmai Mountain Bolian Hotel draws on the cultural characteristics of the Blang and Dai ethnic groups and incorporates them into the design details. 🌟Special services: The hotel not only has its own tea garden and Pu'er tea brand but also offers a tea mountain study tour service, with two local experience arrangements of 3 days and 2 nights and 4 days and 3 nights. ✅In addition to Bolian, there are two other distinctive luxury resort hotels in the area: "Fangwai Zhiwu·Abaila" and the under-construction "Jingmai Mountain Aman."

After leaving Nuanquan Ancient Town, we went to Shuidong and Shuixibao villages. It is said that there are some ancient building remains there. Both forts are built on high hills. Entering from Shuixibao Village and then to Shuidong Fort, it seems that Shuidong Fort has more ruins. The rain was heavy and light, and it never stopped. The Xibao archway in Yuzhongshui is very eye-catching, but it seems to be newly built. There was an old man taking shelter from the rain under the Shuidong Fort. I went to chat with him for a while. He was very proud of his village. The fortress is very complete, with a Bell and Drum Pavilion on top, and the Guanyin Temple opposite, but it does not open the door. Next to the Guanyin Temple is a semi-shaped wind and rain corridor surrounding an open space, with the daughter-in-law field marked on it. I don’t know what the daughter-in-law field is used for. Opposite the wife's theater is an ancient stage, which is very simple and colorful. I originally wanted to visit Yuquan Temple, but in Bubeibao Village, who knew it was still closed. I walked around Bubeibao in the rain and found something unexpected. First, we discovered the former residence of Wang Zhen, which was the home of the eunuch who forced Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty to go to the north and asked Yingzong to visit his home. The ending of this story was the "Tumu Fort Incident". Yingzong was captured and the Ming Dynasty It started to go downhill. The fortress of Gubei Fort is very simple and elegant. Viewed from the back, the back wall of Yuquan Temple is on the right. Walking to the highest point of Bubeibao, there is a small temple on a high platform. Looking over from the high platform, Bubeibao Village is peaceful and peaceful in the rain. Wang Zhen's former residence is not conspicuous in the village, just like he was in the long history. Although he had a great reputation for corrupting the Ming Dynasty, in the end it was just blown away by wind and rain. [Note] During the process of checking the information, I found that someone had done in-depth research on Zhuangbao in Yu County. Cheng Changjin, chief engineer of the China Chemical Safety Association, archaeologist Shang Heng, and Guan Qi, senior director of China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation, are particularly admirable for their self-financed research out of love and belief. Perhaps there is an indescribable charm in it that makes people entranced. Since their youth, Cheng Changjin, Shang Heng, and Guan Qi have delivered to the academic community over 1 million words of written records, more than 700 line drawings and rubbings, and more than a thousand pieces of An 8-volume masterpiece composed of color photos, the series of books "Investigation and Research on Zhuangbao Temple in Yu County since the Ming and Qing Dynasties" will be published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House in December 2023.

In the past two years, I've visited Shanxi six times to admire its temples. This place is full of surprises and love. 🌺 I visited Chongtai Temple in Yu County, Hebei—a small village temple originally built in the Liao Dynasty and rebuilt in the 9th year of the Jiajing period (1530). It's a provincial-level cultural relic, and it's said to have been upgraded to a national-level relic. It's a small temple, but not small in size. Including the mountain gate, there are six buildings along the axis, and six courtyards including the accommodation area at the back. 🌺 I came to Chongtai Temple mainly to admire the Ten Great Kings of the Qing Dynasty murals in the Water and Land Hall, especially the Face-Tearing King (Figure 1) and the Belly-Tearing King (Figure 3). The murals in the Three Teachings Building at the back are also interesting, with each character smiling. Free admission. Enter through the left side door!
