Plus super cool cliff via ferrata climbing and canyon giant swing! 🌲 📍 Location: Baoding, Hebei · Baishi Mountain, 1.5 hours by high-speed train directly from Beijing. ✅ Must-see wonders for kids: Buddha Light Peak sea of clouds, the rock that looks like Bajie getting married, glass plank road. 🚗 Transportation guide (stress-free with kids): High-speed train + taxi: Beijing West → Baoding East (1 hour), then taxi to the scenic area (about 150 RMB, carpooling is more cost-effective). Lazy choice: Join a "Baishi Mountain one-day tour" departing from Baoding or Shijiazhuang directly to avoid transportation hassle. ⛰️ Three family-friendly routes, choose based on kids' stamina: 🔥 Adventure challenge line (for older kids/dads with kids): Cable car up from East Gate → play advanced via ferrata (vertical ladder is super thrilling) → photo at Mountain Alliance Terrace → challenge giant swing (canyon swing) → climb Buddha Light Peak to see sea of clouds → cable car down. (about 5 hours) 💚 Zen sightseeing line (suitable for most families): Bus up from East Gate → Chive Garden → walk cliff plank road (rest at cliff café midway) → see Bajie getting married rock → Shuangxiong Rock glass plank road → cable car down. (about 3-4 hours) 🌿 Easy leisure line for toddlers (mainly relaxing): Cable car up from East Gate → electric cart at Chive Garden → photo check-in at Leizhenzi Wings → feed little squirrels at 1600m line 🐿️ → take Feiyunkou cable car down. (about 2.5 hours) 🍽️ Food & accommodation tips: Stay on the mountain: Shangyun Jian Hotel, window views of sea of clouds, but pricier. Stay at the foot of the mountain: Recommended "Baishi Mountain She" homestay in Laiyuan County, great value, spicy stir-fried mountain mushrooms are delicious! Eating on the mountain: Knife-cut noodles at Shuangxiong Rock Snack City are good, latte at cliff café is paying for the view~ ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls with kids: To see sunrise and sea of clouds, you must stay on the mountain because the bus only departs at 9 am. It’s windy and cold on the peak, even in July bring a thin down jacket for kids! Gloves are a must for via ferrata, secure your phone with a lanyard! If driving yourself, mountain roads have many curves, new drivers be cautious. Don’t know where to take kids in summer? Baishi Mountain is definitely a surprising choice! Cool, fun, stunning scenery, add it to your list! 💖

When I went to Baoding to visit my friends, I found out that the best anorectal hospital in China is not in Chengdu, but in Baoding, because it can protect the buttocks! Back to the topic, this city that I had never actively wanted to visit before also has its own heritage and many small and beautiful spots, which is very suitable for citywalk! · 1️⃣ West Street Baoding West Street was formed after Baoding was rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty. It has the overall style characteristics of the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods, combining Chinese and Western styles. [Zhili Post Office] [Florence Coffee] is very good at producing coffee. · 2️⃣ Zhili Governor's Office Learn about the culture and historical stories of the Qing Dynasty government offices. 1-9 official refrigerator magnets are very beautiful! · 3️⃣ Daci Pavilion The majestic and magnificent ancient building is magnificent. The temple is filled with the lingering Buddhist sounds and a sacred atmosphere, and is one of the landmark buildings in Baoding. 👉You can visit the [Baoding Catholic Church] next to it, and there is also the [Bell Tower Bread], you have to queue up one hour in advance. · 4️⃣ Huaijun Office The overall architectural style is compatible with both north and south. The reception courtyard, theater (Tindar plays when the sun is good), Xiantang, and Zhaozhong Temple are in the Hui style, and the northern courtyard is in the form of a northern quadrangle. · 5️⃣Baoding Museum It’s a pity that the museum’s treasure, the bronze horse 🐴, was taken away by the Shijiazhuang Museum, and only a replica remains. [Baoding Art Museum] [Guan Hanqing Grand Theater] is right next to it! · 6️⃣China Paleozoological Museum First of all, the architecture is very outstanding, a masterpiece by a master.

I hope you can spend 2-3 days to visit this city that even the donkeys don't want to leave.

😎 I traveled 300 km just for this room! I have always wanted to stay in a room with a bamboo forest outside the window. This time, I finally found a good place in the province, so I don't have to travel far. 😜 When I woke up in the morning, I lay in bed 🛏️ and didn't want to get up! I just watched the bamboo swaying in the wind outside the window, the bamboo leaves falling one by one, and occasionally a bird or butterfly flying by. It was so pleasant! 😍 When I walked out of the room, wow! The fragrance of osmanthus flowers filled the air 🌼, and the rustling of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves 🎋 and the sound of flowing water were like a symphony of nature, refreshing and pleasant. I felt healed. 🤗 🎈 The service here is also great! Although it is a homestay, the service is not sloppy at all. The butler contacted me in advance via WeChat and created an exclusive service group. When I checked in, there were welcome fruits and refreshing tea 🍵, and they helped me with my luggage 🧳. It was so thoughtful! 🛏️ The room was so clean that I felt super comfortable walking barefoot on the floor! The food, drinks, and supplies in the room were of good quality. 👍 🤔 When it was almost time to check out, we were still hesitating whether to stay another night. It was so comfortable! 🍲 For dinner, you can order the homestay's special hot pot, which is delicious! Breakfast is included in the room rate, and there are two options: abalone porridge and wontons, both of which are super delicious 😋. For lunch, we went to Zhengguo Old Street, which is not far from the homestay, and it was very lively! 🤩 There are several amusement forest scenic spots and cultural villages nearby, but it was inconvenient for us to visit with a baby, so we just came to enjoy this bamboo forest homestay and didn't visit other places. 😏 🎊 The homestay also has a swimming pool and hot spring pool, and several rooms have children's swimming lanes. There is also a tea room, yoga room, and meeting room, and there are various room types. It really has everything! 😎 After visiting, many friends asked me where this was, and they were all attracted by the beautiful pictures of the homestay I posted! 🤳 In short, this is really a good place to consider staying again! 🤗💕 📍 Homestay: Baoding Four Seasons Bamboo Forest Academy

Family! This ancient tomb in Hebei, which has practically "eaten up" half of a museum, is the real treasure! Stop asking me where I went this weekend! While you were queuing for two hours to take photos for five minutes at crowded tourist hotspots, I was already in Baoding, Hebei, inside a mountain that had been "hollowed out." This isn't some new tourist hotspot; it's the Mancheng Han Tombs, predating the Forbidden City by over 1,600 years, the final resting place of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan during the Western Han Dynasty, and his queen, Dou Wan. Believe me, this is not a creepy tomb-raiding trip, but a breathtaking, adrenaline-pumping time-travel experience! Today, this hardcore guide will unlock this understated yet unparalleled secret realm that will send every "national treasure enthusiast" into a frenzy! 🔥 Don't doubt it! This is half of the cultural relics world's treasures! "A Han tomb has filled the Hebei Provincial Museum"—this is no joke. Among the tens of thousands of artifacts unearthed from the Mancheng Han Tombs, over 4,000 are exquisite pieces, each one sure to leave you speechless. 🌟 Three Must-See "Top-Tier National Treasures" (The following artifacts are all housed in the Hebei Provincial Museum) - Jade Burial Suit (Museum's Treasure): The most complete jade burial suit ever discovered in Chinese archaeology! Liu Sheng's suit used 2,498 pieces of jade and 1,100 grams of gold thread, perfectly fitted together, symbolizing the highest level of craftsmanship and luxurious burial practices of the Han Dynasty. - Changxin Palace Lamp (Eco-Friendly Pioneer): This palace maid-held lamp is not only a breathtakingly beautiful Han Dynasty sculpture, but also a "black technology" two thousand years ahead of its time! Its sleeves can absorb cooking fumes, achieving indoor air purification, representing the pinnacle of ancient environmental protection concepts. - Gilded Bronze Boshan Incense Burner (The Ceiling of Incense Burners): The entire body is adorned with magnificent gold thread patterns, and the lid is carved into the mythical Boshan Mountain, with tigers, leopards, and monkeys appearing amidst the swirling clouds. Imagine Han Dynasty royalty using such ingeniously crafted objects for incense burning. Besides these, this place boasts numerous "firsts" in China: the earliest complete medical instruments (medical basin, gold and silver needles), the earliest bronze water clock, the earliest domestically produced glass container… You could say that a lesson here is more valuable than reading ten history books! 🚶‍♂️ Tomb Exploration Guide: Avoid Wasting Time! The Mancheng Han Tombs are located on Lingshan Mountain in Mancheng District, Baoding, and are typical cliff tombs built into the mountainside. The experience is divided into two parts: "climbing the mountain" and "entering the tomb." Following the guide will double your experience! 📍 Core Area Information Overview - Address: No. 126, Zhongshan West Road, Mancheng District, Baoding City, Hebei Province - Opening Hours: 8:30 - 17:30 - Suggested Visit Duration: 2-3 hours 1. Tickets and Transportation - Ticket Prices - Mountain Climbing Ticket: 10 RMB/person - Han Dynasty Tomb Ticket (Core): Liu Sheng Tomb 50 RMB, Dou Wan Tomb 50 RMB, combined ticket for both tombs 80 RMB (more cost-effective). - Transportation within the Scenic Area - Cable Car: 15 RMB one way, 30 RMB round trip. Easy ascent, saves time and effort. - Slide: Optional for descent, fun experience, 35 RMB/person. - How to Get There: The most convenient way is from downtown Baoding. You can take bus No. 10 or drive there; it takes about half an hour. 2. Recommended Visit Route (Efficient and Concise Version) Arriving in the morning is best, as the light is better and there are relatively fewer people. 1. Take the cable car up the mountain: conserve your energy and enjoy panoramic views of the mountain. 2. Explore Liu Sheng's Tomb first: As the main tomb, it is grand in scale and offers a clear understanding of the complete layout of a Han Dynasty cliff tomb with a "front hall and rear chamber." 3. Visit Dou Wan's Tomb next: Located about 120 meters north of Liu Sheng's Tomb. Its tomb's excavation techniques are even more exquisite; the famous Changxin Palace Lantern was unearthed here. 4. Descend the mountain on foot or by toboggan: stroll along the trails and enjoy the tranquility of the forest, or experience the rapid descent via toboggan. 💡 High-Energy Pitfalls and Hidden Activities 1. Pitfalls to Avoid - Time Pitfall: Sometimes the park offers free entry after 5:30 PM, but the lighting is poor and time is limited. First-time visitors are advised against taking advantage of this. - Guided Tour Pitfall: The on-site information boards are clear enough. Do your research beforehand or use the official guided tour; there's no need to blindly hire a "VIP guide." - **Physical Excursion:** The tombs are located on a mountain and spread out at varying distances. It's recommended to purchase a sightseeing bus ticket, otherwise hiking can be quite tiring. 2. **Hidden Experiences:** - **Site Visiting the Mountain Top Temple:** There's an old temple atop the mountain, offering a tranquil environment. You might have the opportunity to experience vegetarian meals, but you'll need to communicate with the temple keeper beforehand. - **Combining the Tomb Visit with the Provincial Museum:** It's highly recommended to combine the Mancheng Han Tombs tour with the Hebei Provincial Museum in Shijiazhuang. The replicas of the artifacts seen in the tombs are displayed alongside the originals at the museum, creating an unparalleled "on-site + original" experience. 3. **Side Trips:** If you have ample time, Mancheng and the surrounding area offer many hidden gems: - **Shizigou (Autumn Only):** In October, the vast persimmon orchards turn a vibrant red, a photographer's paradise. - **Longmen Gorge/Longju Waterfall:** Enjoy water activities and stream tracing in summer, and witness the spectacular icefalls in winter. - **Weiyang Ancient Town:** Experience the ancient atmosphere by wearing Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) for photos. 🍜 A Culinary Delight in Mancheng After a long day of exploring, it's time to fill your stomach with delicious food! Baoding, where Mancheng is located, is the "cosmic center" of donkey meat sandwiches. - Must-try recommendation: Donkey meat sandwich. Look for freshly baked, crispy and crumbly crusts filled with hot donkey meat—one bite is pure bliss. It can be paired with local "Chengcheng noodles." - Food warning: When ordering, especially fish and mutton, be sure to ask whether the price is per "portion" or per "jin" (a unit of weight) to avoid misunderstandings. 📌 Blogger's Commentary The charm of the Mancheng Han Tombs lies in their profound historical significance and top-tier cultural relic value, creating a deeply moving and awe-inspiring experience. As you wander through the massive tomb chambers carved into the mountainside, touching the cold stone walls, you can imagine how artisans two thousand years ago painstakingly created this underground palace; as you stand before the glass display case at the Hebei Provincial Museum, gazing silently at the exquisitely crafted Changxin Palace Lantern, you will truly understand what "the grandeur of the Han Dynasty" means. It's not the most bustling tourist attraction, but it's definitely a cultural palace worthy of the most immersive experience. For history buffs and those seeking in-depth travel, this is Hebei's most unmissable treasure! 💬 Interactive Topic If you could choose one national treasure from the Mancheng Han Tombs to "travel back in time" and take home, would you choose the futuristic Changxin Palace Lantern or the jade burial suit symbolizing eternal luxury? Tell me your choice in the comments!

A Trip to Baoding - Mancheng Han Tombs A visit to Baoding wouldn't be complete without seeing the Mancheng Han Tombs, though many may be unfamiliar with this ancient site. Two key points highlight the status of the tomb's occupant: Liu Bei, the half-brother of Emperor Wu of Han, often claimed descent from the Prince of Zhongshan. The jade burial suit is another reason for his fame. The site is located near a village, relatively remote, about a 50-minute drive from downtown Baoding. The scenic area is large and impressive, housing the tombs of Liu Sheng and his wife Dou Wan. A cable car is required to ascend the mountain, where the tombs are located. They are situated on the same mountain but in separate chambers, with the interiors designed to be warm in winter and cool in summer. Most of the artifacts are replicas; the originals and finest pieces are in the Hebei Provincial Museum and the National Museum of China in Beijing. What you see are not the most crucial or high-value exhibits, so unless it's conveniently located or you're particularly interested, it's not recommended to waste time traveling such a long distance to see this site! #Baoding #BaodingAttractions #HistoricalRelics #WesternHanDynasty #HanTombs #AncientRelicsExploration

Baoding Food Recommendations - Lao Guniang Girl Donkey Meat Sandwich When visiting Baoding, donkey sandwiches and steamed buns are a must-try. There are many places in Baoding that serve donkey sandwiches. I checked the reviews for this "fly restaurant" and it didn't have any bad reviews. It took some effort to find a reliable donkey sandwich; usually, the ones I get in Beijing are from Hejian. Baoding's are round and crispy, and the donkey meat portion is generous. I recommend Lao Guniang Girl's main branch. The dining environment is rather average, but the taste is its biggest draw. The owner is very nice and talkative. Besides donkey sandwiches, I also recommend the flatbread. I tried three kinds of donkey sandwiches. The classic fatty and lean sandwich has a good mix of lean and fatty meat and is very flavorful; this is a basic option. You can try this if it's your first time. The donkey intestine sandwich is a mix of donkey intestines and donkey meat. I was curious about the bowl-shaped sandwich, and the owner treated me to it, implying that many non-locals are afraid to try it. He told me to look it up myself after I ate it. Actually, it's the female donkey's genitals, but the taste was okay! There was no fishy smell. The donkey meat sandwich was better than the ones I had in Beijing. The original-flavor flat noodles were very flavorful, chewy, and the soup wasn't oily at all! Many flat noodles in Beijing have very oily soup. The only downside was that it was a bit salty; I prefer a milder taste. The ones in Baoding are quite salty. It would be better if they were less salty. I recommend this corn porridge! I think the porridge made in Baoding is exceptional. Now there are also older women in Tongzhou, Beijing, but I always feel it's not quite as good as the ones in Baoding! #BaodingSnacks #BaodingFoodExploration #DonkeyMeatBread #LocalFood
