If you visit Shijiazhuang but don't check in at the world-famous stone arch bridge, Zhaozhou Bridge, in Zhaoxian County, you might as well not have come. As soon as my plane landed in Shijiazhuang, I eagerly searched for ways to get to Zhaozhou Bridge. I chose to travel independently and booked a ride-hailing service (fare: CNY 110). It took about an hour to reach the Zhaozhou Bridge Scenic Area. The weather was particularly nice today, with the sun shining brightly. I entered the scenic area with great enthusiasm and looked up at the statue of Li Chun, a craftsman from the Sui Dynasty. The Zhaozhou Bridge written by Mr. Mao Yisheng in the primary school Chinese textbook was right in front of me. The stone arch bridge, which has stood on the "Xiao River" in Zhaoxian County for more than 1,400 years, is so charming and attractive. I walked closer to carefully examine this "First Bridge Under Heaven," also known as Anji Bridge, admired the decorative carvings on the bridge, and marveled at the wisdom of our ancestors. The remarkable Li Chun pioneered the history of bridge building for mankind. Generation after generation of Chinese people have protected this magnificent ancient stone bridge, which has become the world's largest and most well-preserved single-arch open-shoulder stone arch bridge. Some young people were live streaming by the ancient stone bridge. They talked eloquently about Zhaozhou Bridge. I listened to a few sentences, most of which were from the primary school Chinese textbook, which everyone has learned. There is also an exhibition of ancient bridges for visitors to see. The newly added sculpture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea on the bank adds a splash of color to the scenic area. Zhaozhou Bridge is a national key cultural relic protection unit and a national 4A-level tourist attraction. The tour lasts 2 hours. It is open to the public for free from 8:30 to 18:00. In Zhaoxian County, 3.5 km from Zhaozhou Bridge, there is another ancient temple with a long history, called Bailin Temple, which was first built in the Eastern Han Dynasty (196–220). Although it has experienced ups and downs, it has always been a popular place for worship. Today is a special day, and there is a constant stream of people coming to burn incense. I came to learn about the history of the ancient temple. In the temple, I particularly admired the ancient cypress tree that has been growing for 1,300 years. It is the only ancient relic in the temple, and I was amazed by the tree's tenacious vitality! It is a national key cultural relic protection unit, open from 8:00 to 16:00, and the tour lasts 1 hour. There is Bus 1101 to return to Shijiazhuang, and you can also carpool for CNY 20 per person to Shijiazhuang Railway Station.

Zhaozhou Bridge, Bailin Zen Temple, Daguan Shengzuo Stele, and Yongtong Bridge are all famous cultural relics in Shijiazhuang City. Zhaozhou Bridge, located on the Xiao River south of Zhaoxian County in Shijiazhuang City, is a stone arch bridge named after the ancient name of Zhaoxian, Zhaozhou. Locals call it the Big Stone Bridge to distinguish it from Yongtong Bridge outside the west gate of the city, which locals call the Small Stone Bridge. Zhaozhou Bridge was built in the Sui Dynasty, designed and constructed by the craftsman Li Chun, and later named Anji Bridge by Song Zhezong Zhao Xu. Zhaozhou Bridge is the oldest, largest span, and best-preserved single-arch open-shoulder stone arch bridge in the world. Its unique construction technique pioneered the "open-shoulder arch" structure in the history of world bridges, making it of high scientific research value. Bailin Zen Temple, originally built during the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was initially called "Yuan" and later "Yongan Yuan" in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty, it was named "Bailin Zen Temple," and since the Yuan Dynasty, it has been known as "Bailin Zen Temple." The existing temple buildings (except for the Bailin Temple Pagoda) were successively completed in 1992. It is an important ancestral temple in the history of Chinese Zen Buddhism. The Daguan Shengzuo Stele, originally a relic of the Zhaozhou Confucian Temple, is made of bluestone, with the stele body and stele head carved from a single large stone. The stele head is rectangular with a slightly pointed top, inscribed with six large characters in regular script: "Daguan Shengzuo Stele," written by the powerful minister Cai Jing. The stele head's calligraphy is deep, solemn, and majestic, giving the stele its name. Yongtong Bridge, commonly known as the Small Stone Bridge, is located on the Ye River north of Tongxi Road in Zhaoxian County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. Its architectural style and structural form are similar to Anji Bridge (Big Stone Bridge), but it is smaller, hence the name Small Stone Bridge. Together with Anji Bridge, they are known as the "Sister Bridges." Yongtong Bridge was built during the Yongnian period of the Tang Dynasty, named for its meaning of eternal communication and has a history of over 1,200 years, more than 160 years later than Anji Bridge. In the morning, take bus No. 1101 from the east square of Shijiazhuang Station for 6 yuan to the terminal station Zhaozhou Bridge, with a total travel time of 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Located 1h drive from Shijiazhuang, Zhao County is most famous for the Zhaozhou Bridge, but the place locals prefer to visit is the Berlin Zen Temple. After all, even the Zhaozhou Bridge had few tourists when I went, but the crowded Berlin Zen Temple really surprised me, and the prosperity of its incense offering was astonishing. It's no wonder, this ancient temple, which was founded at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has a history of 1800 years. It is also revered as one of the ancestral courts of Chinese Buddhism's Chan (Zen) school, and the birthplace of the Zhaozhou Chan master's 'go drink tea' case, as well as the source of Zhaozhou's Chan tea culture. Unfortunately, almost all of the Berlin Zen Temple that can be seen today was rebuilt in 1992, with the only ancient relic being the Berlin Temple Pagoda, which was the focus of this visit. The Berlin Temple Pagoda, also known as the Congshen Chan Master's Relic Pagoda, was established to commemorate the great Chan master Zhaozhou Congshen (778—897), and was built in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty's Tianli era (1330), with a history of over 680 years. The Berlin Temple Pagoda is a brick and wood structure with a dense eave style, an octagonal seven-story pavilion style, and a height of 39.5 meters, which can be considered a tall pagoda. However, the believers who circled the Berlin Temple Pagoda were endless, and many times one could only stand at the base to properly appreciate it. The pagoda is made of brick and sits on a 2.5-meter-high square base. The base is divided into upper and lower layers, with the lower layer built of stone and the upper layer of brick. The lower part of the pagoda is a Sumeru base, above which is an imitation wooden bracket to support the flat seat. Around the flat seat, a lattice fence is built, and above it, four layers of upturned lotuses support the first layer of the pagoda body. What is special is that the first layer of the pagoda body is relatively tall, accounting for about one-third of the total height of the pagoda. The east, west, south, and north sides are carved with brick pot doors, and the other four sides with brick lattice ridge windows. Above the south door, a stone plaque is inlaid with the inscription 'Specially Granted Great Yuan Zhaozhou Ancient Buddha True Realm Light Ancestor Master's Pagoda', and on the left side is carved the year 'Tianli three years, early Mengchun, auspicious construction'. Upon closer inspection, the details of the Berlin Temple Pagoda are also worth savoring, where the flying eaves of the first layer are made of wood, and from the second to the seventh layer, they are changed to brick carvings. The length of the eaves converges layer by layer, and the eaves corners of each layer are all made of wood, with an iron Arhat statue standing on the ridge, and wind bells hanging below, which are also exquisitely crafted. 'The temple holds the true realm pagoda for a thousand autumns, the gate faces the Zhaozhou Bridge spanning ten thousand miles.' After seeing the Zhaozhou Bridge in Shijiazhuang, this national treasure Berlin Temple Pagoda is indeed worth a special visit. 🏠Name | Berlin Temple Pagoda 🎫Ticket | Free ⛳Address | No. 23, Shita East Road, Zhaozhou Town, Zhao County, Shijiazhuang City 🚗Transportation | Navigate to 'Berlin Zen Temple' by car

It's recommended to buy tickets for Longxing Temple online for 44 yuan per person, which can save a few yuan. It is suggested to hire a guide for 130 yuan, and you can share the cost with other tourists, making it not expensive per person. The ticket for Rongguofu is 36 yuan per person, and it's not that impressive after a stroll. However, as it's the filming location of the 1987 version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', it's worth visiting for a check-in.

The Hebei Museum is highly recommended, with national treasures such as the Changxin Palace Lantern and the Jade Suit Sewn with Gold Thread.

Zhaozhou Bridge, also known as Anji Bridge, is affectionately called the Great Stone Bridge by the locals. Among its many names, 'Zhaozhou Bridge' is undoubtedly the most well-known, with its fame largely owing to Mr. Mao Yisheng's masterpiece, the essay 'Zhaozhou Bridge,' which has drawn countless tourists due to its popularity as a primary school text. Zhaozhou Bridge is located above the Xiaohe River south of Zhao County in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. Its name originates from the ancient appellation of Zhao County—Zhaozhou. The bridge was built in the second year of the Daye era of the Sui Dynasty (606 AD) by the craftsman Li Chun. It has not only witnessed a millennium of vicissitudes but is also the world's earliest, largest-span, and best-preserved single-arch stone bridge with open spandrel arches. In the spring of 1933, the renowned architect Liang Sicheng personally visited and surveyed the bridge, confirming that the Great Stone Bridge of Zhaozhou was indeed the Anji Bridge, a treasure of Chinese bridge architecture with a long history. The preservation of ancient buildings is no easy feat, especially in China, where ancient structures were mostly made of wood, vulnerable to war, human disasters, and natural calamities. However, the ancient buildings that have withstood the test of time owe their survival to three main reasons. First, the building materials are durable, such as brick and stone constructions, including gates, tombs, brick pagodas, stone bridges, and city walls, which have endured the test of time. Second, the continuous practical use, exemplified by Zhaozhou Bridge, which, despite eight renovations since its construction, still carries out its mission of transportation; once a building loses its functionality, even as majestic as the Great Wall, it cannot avoid a fate of decline. Third, the lack of distinct dynastic colors, such as temple buildings, which are less affected by dynastic changes, thus able to traverse the river of history and survive to this day. The most acclaimed historical site in Zhao County is none other than Zhaozhou Bridge. Besides, Yongtong Bridge, the Dhāraṇī Pillar, and other relics are also renowned in professional fields, but they may not be as eye-catching to the average tourist. Zhao County has deeply explored the cultural and tourism value of Zhaozhou Bridge, creating a large-scale scenic area around this ancient bridge, complete with an ancient bridge exhibition hall, a folk art stage, cultural and creative products, and local specialties, all readily available. During the Spring Festival, the area is particularly lively, brimming with a strong festive atmosphere. For a county to possess such a precious relic is indeed sufficient. In Zhao County, there is also a mouthwatering specialty delicacy—donkey meat. Donkey meat restaurants are scattered throughout the streets and alleys, especially near the Dhāraṇī Pillar, where donkey meat shops are densely packed. We once tasted two jin of donkey meat at Zhang Guolao Meat Shop; although pricey at 70 yuan per jin, the taste was delicious and memorable. And a simple breakfast, costing only 6 yuan for two bowls of soybean curd and four fried dough sticks, was enough to leave us fully satisfied.

Many years ago, I learned about Zhaozhou Bridge in the elementary school textbook. It is the earliest preserved stone arch bridge in China. It was built in the Sui Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,400 years. Today's Zhaozhou Bridge has become an attraction with a ticket of 40 yuan, which is one of the most famous scenic spots in Shijiazhuang. Zhaozhou Bridge, also known as Anji Bridge, is located on the Weihe River in Zhao County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. The designer is Li Chun, a famous craftsman of the Sui Dynasty. However, there is not much record of Li Chun in history, except that he knows nothing about his construction of Zhaozhou Bridge. The Sui Dynasty ended the rule of separation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties and once again completed China's reunification. At that time, Zhao County was the only place to go north and south. North Shangyu County went south to Luoyang. A Weihe River blocked traffic. The court decided to build a bridge on the Weihe River to end the inconvenient traffic situation. Li Chun was designed and built. Zhaozhou Bridge is not big, with Zhaozhou Bridge as the core, and several other attractions have no special features. A new bridge next to Zhaozhou Bridge has long replaced the access function of Zhaozhou Bridge. But at first glance, I saw Zhaozhou Bridge. There is not much surprise. It looks very ordinary. But 1400 years ago, this was definitely the highest achievement in the bridge industry. An open shoulder arch like this, Europe did not appear until the mid-19th century, more than 1200 years later than our country.
