2025 Zhuozhou Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Yongji Park is the largest park in Zhuozhou. It is currently being renovated, and most areas are closed. The flood damage is still visible along the river. I walked on Yongji Bridge, overlooking the Juma River flowing under the bridge, and gazed at the ancient-style buildings on the other side of the river. The sparse trees on the riverbank looked bleak and desolate. Yongji Bridge was first built during the Wanli period of the Ming dynasty. A new bridge was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty and connected to the old bridge. Yongji Bridge is very beautiful. The railings are made of white marble, and the bridge deck is paved with huge stone slabs, which are neatly arranged. The bridge is beautiful and cute. You can see the whole Yongji Bridge from the highway bridge next to it. As the longest stone arch bridge in China, Yongji Bridge looks like a rainbow lying on the river. The nine bridge holes are arranged in order, showing a sense of order and beauty. The entire bridge is more than 600 meters long, with a graceful shape.

Guys, listen to me, come to this hotel when you come to Zhuozhou, it's really nice to stay in🥹 It's my go-to hotel every time I come to Zhuozhou, I really stayed here and loved it, highly recommend it to everyone! 📍Shui'an Huacheng Hotel 🚗Great location The hotel is located on the side of National Highway 107, about 1 hour from Beijing via G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway. The hotel is very eye-catching and easy to find; there is a free parking lot, which is very suitable for self-driving travelers. Public transportation is also very convenient, you can take bus 838 from Beijing West Railway Station to get there directly; or take the high-speed train, there are many trains from Beijing West Railway Station and Fengtai Railway Station. —— 🥰Full facilities ✔️Gym ✔️Swimming pool ✔️Chess area ✔️Tea area ✔️Reading corner No worries about meeting needs, the hotel has eight meeting rooms and multi-function halls of different sizes, with high-end equipment and professional services, all arranged clearly~ —— 🌈Check-in experience The hotel has four types of rooms, Shuiyue, Anting, Huayu, and Chengjing, with different decoration styles and themes, and all rooms are over 30 square meters. The bed is very comfortable, even I, who is picky about beds, slept very well. The hygiene is impeccable, with no dead ends, and the room attendant cleans the room every day with great patience. The most commendable thing is the hotel's humanized service, such as providing simple meals such as noodles and wontons after breakfast time, the emergency treasure box (alcohol, face signing, earplugs, hair ties, etc.) on the first floor of the hotel lobby, and the hotel's late-night snacks. 💕After checking out, we were given a gift, and the front desk lady even helped us wipe the car windows, which was very touching😭. If there is a cost-effective ceiling, I think it is this hotel!

Zhuozhou: A treasure trove of history and fun! Hey guys! I have to recommend these amazing places in Zhuozhou to you! First, let's talk about Sanyi Palace. As soon as you step inside, it's like you've been transported back to the Three Kingdoms period. You can almost feel like you're at the Peach Garden Oath with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Walking around here, you might even feel like you can chat with Zhuge Liang about military strategy or compare sword skills with Guan Yu. It's just too cool! Next, head to the Liao Pagoda Cultural Park. The twin pagodas stand like two timeless "internet celebrities," having stood there for a thousand years. With their stunning appearance, they would definitely be the "center of attention" in your social media posts! Don't miss the Qing Palace! Back in the day, Emperor Qianlong used to rest here, and it must have been quite a spectacle. Although some of the buildings have been worn down by time, the main hall and rockery still exude a regal aura. Standing there, I couldn't help but imagine a grand Qing dynasty drama, and maybe even take a "cross-time" photo with Emperor Qianlong. Although 58 Town is still under construction, its charm is already evident. With innovative planning and a diverse range of businesses, it promises to be a place full of fun and surprises in the future, making it highly anticipated. Finally, visit the Wine Culture Park, where the aroma of wine will make you feel dizzy. Watching the wine-making process is like exploring a magical factory, and tasting a sip of Zhuozhou wine is an experience that will make you feel like you're "flying"! Take a few bottles with you when you leave, and let your friends envy you. A trip to Zhuozhou is like opening a surprise blind box, filled with history, culture, and joy!

I've long wanted to visit the "No. 1 State in the World" to experience the historical charm of the ancient city. This time, I took advantage of the weekend to visit with my family. 🚉Transportation tips: It takes just over an hour to drive from Beijing to Zhuozhou via the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway, which is very convenient. 🌟Highlights: As a thousand-year-old ancient city, many well-known historical figures, such as Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Kuangyin, and Li Daoyuan, were actually born here! Even the famous Fanyang Lu family in the Tang Dynasty, Fanyang refers to Zhuozhou. 🏨Hotel environment: This time, we stayed at the Shui'an Huacheng Hotel on National Highway 107. I searched for a long time on Trip.com, and this hotel is one of the largest in Zhuozhou, with good reviews. My child is very picky about the hotel environment, so I have to carefully select hotels for every trip. My first impression of the Shui'an Huacheng Hotel was very good. The hotel has a free parking lot, free coffee and tea in the lobby, a universal treasure chest with band-aids and hair ties, and a chess table and reading corner for guests to enjoy. The details are well done. 🛏Room facilities: After entering the room, my child was excited and said it met his requirements. This time, we booked a luxury king room. There was a welcome fruit plate at the entrance, and the room was very spacious, which was suitable for children to move around. The bathroom was separated into wet and dry areas, and the appliances in the room were also smart-controlled. ✅Must-try: A friendly reminder: be sure to try the hotel's breakfast. The restaurant has a very Chinese-style environment, with an ancient charm. I feel that the variety of breakfast has completely exceeded the four-star standard, and it is dazzling. My family loves it. 🗓Itinerary: 🏔️Recommended nearby attractions: Shuangta Park, Zhuozhou Museum, Gulou Street, Yongji Bridge, and Zhang Fei's hometown if you have time.

It took an hour and a half to drive from Beijing to Zhuozhou for shopping and shopping. This is how I spent my day. I stayed at the Jinjiang Inn Fashion Hotel 🏨 in a superior double room. ✅The location is great. Just over 10 minutes' walk to the north is the Twin Towers of the Liao Dynasty (the Internet celebrity check-in spot is also nearby), to the east is the Zhuozhou Museum, and across the road to the south is Drum Tower Street. ✅Periphery Take a break for half an hour and go for a stroll in the alley to see the Twin Towers of the Liao Dynasty (both the north and south towers can only be viewed from a distance, the north tower cannot be entered, and the south tower is under renovation) When I was tired from walking, I went to eat the beef pancake🫓 in the south of the museum road. I really recommend it. It’s delicious and not expensive at 90💰. (The price may vary depending on the amount of food you eat). After eating and drinking, go back to the hotel and take a nap ✅I woke up and went to the Zhuozhou Museum at noon. It was not big inside and there were not many people. It was very comfortable to stroll around. There are many cute pottery figurines inside☺️ When you come out of the museum, go around to the back and you will find the internet celebrity check-in place, where you can take photos all the time📷 ✅Diet Go back to the hotel, cool down, wait for the sun to go down and have dinner We went to "Toon Courtyard" for dinner (I found out the name of this restaurant after asking the waiter because there is a big toon tree in the courtyard). The Shaobing with vegetables and the Shaobing with bones and meat were connected together. The portion was huge and delicious. Their fried chicken is also delicious, definitely recommended👍. The dining environment is like a farmhouse, which is quite interesting. I originally wanted to cool down at night and go shopping on Gulou Street, but it rained non-stop. Leave some little regrets. Come here next time if you have nothing to do. The Zhuozhou trip is over. It’s so close. I’ll make up for the little regrets next time.

Liuzu Zen Temple is located in Mafang Village, Qingliang Temple Office, Zhuozhou City, Baoding City, Hebei Province, less than three kilometers from Huigu Li. It is a modern building constructed by the Zhuozhou City Government in 2010 to commemorate Master Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch. The temple is built on the basis of the original Xinglong Temple (a subordinate temple of Yunju Temple in Fangshan, originally built in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty), and has become another important cultural landmark in Zhuozhou City. It mainly consists of the Mountain Gate, Bell and Drum Tower, Hall of Heavenly Kings, Guanyin Hall, Mahavira Hall, and Sixth Patriarch Hall, among which the Guanyin Hall is in the Qing Dynasty style, and the Sixth Patriarch Hall enshrines a statue of Master Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch. Ticket Information: Free Opening Hours: 9:00-17:30 Transportation Information: You can take Route 1, Route 1 Zhi Li Qu, or Route 838 from Zhuozhou City to reach the temple.

【Yong'an Temple Pagoda】 Located 10 kilometers east of Zhuozhou City, Baoding City, Hebei Province. Locals commonly refer to it as 'Tower Reflecting Tower'. Built within the original Yong'an Temple, the temple buildings were demolished in 1952, leaving only the pagoda, which was then named Yong'an Temple Pagoda. The Yong'an Temple Pagoda is an octagonal dense-eaves solid brick pagoda, consisting of three parts: the base, the body, and seven layers of dense eaves, with a height of 19.1 meters. The base is in the shape of a Sumeru pedestal, 3.5 meters high and 24.8 meters in circumference. The waist part of the base features geometric patterns and floral brick carvings, which are now damaged; the upper layer of the Sumeru pedestal has dougong and balustrade flat seats, with three layers of large upturned lotus petals carved in brick to support the pagoda body. Although the base is damaged, the typical features of Liao Dynasty brick pagodas, such as the waist, imitation wood flat seats, and upturned lotus petals, can still be seen. The pagoda body is 3.6 meters high, with a niche door on the south side, 2 meters high, 1 meter wide, and 0.72 meters thick, with the words 'Jie Na Xu Mi' written in ink on the front of the niche wall. The other sides have brick-carved partition niche doors and blind windows with embedded Sanskrit stone carvings above each window. Its design conforms to all the basic characteristics of Liao Dynasty dense-eaves pagodas: a true niche door on the south side with a central chamber inside; false niche doors on the east, west, and north sides; imitation wood straight-lattice windows at the corners; and eight large spirit pagodas carved at the corners, with no lintel under the Pubaifang, replaced by Ruyi cloud heads. In addition to the typical features of Liao Dynasty brick pagodas mentioned above, the unique aspect of the Yong'an Temple Pagoda is the white Sanskrit stone carvings embedded above the straight-lattice windows at the four corners, of which only two remain. The first layer of eaves has brick-carved dougong, with three sets on each side projecting out from the eaves, and the upper layers have corbelled eaves, with the eaves decreasing layer by layer from top to bottom. The original wooden corner beams had wind chimes, which are now missing. Due to damage and loss of the top layer of the pagoda, the shape of the pagoda finial is unknown. Although there are no records of this pagoda in various documents, its construction techniques and artistic style are identical to those of the Zhidu Temple Pagoda and Yunju Temple Pagoda in the ancient city of Zhuozhou, especially the brick dougong style, which is undoubtedly from the Liao Dynasty. Its fine carving, ornate decoration, elegant shape, and harmonious proportions make it a typical example of a Liao Dynasty dense-eaves pagoda. The Yong'an Temple Pagoda is currently almost the only one that has remained in its original state without major repairs. However, based on the current state of the base, it is known that the protection measures for this pagoda are intentional. There is always ongoing debate about whether and how to restore ancient buildings, and to what extent. The Yong'an Temple Pagoda seems to provide a specimen of maintaining the original state, allowing people to appreciate the style of Liao Dynasty pagodas while also provoking deep thought.

The wind is bleak and the water of Yishui is cold; during the leisure of the weekend, we embarked on an impromptu trip. We drove to Yishui Lake ourselves. In April, the scenery was quite pleasant, and by taking a ferry, we could climb the mountain to get a distant view of the entire Yishui Lake. Moreover, the mountain trails are mostly gentle slopes, which are very suitable for the elderly to travel. It would be even better to travel in May or June, when the mountains will be lush and flowers blooming. We had lunch at Taihang Shuizhen, where the local fish and chicken tasted good. It's only about a ten-minute drive from Yishui Lake to Shuizhen, but during holidays, traffic jams can make it impossible to estimate the time. Shuizhen has homestays, which are very convenient and in good condition if you want to stay overnight. The night view of Shuizhen is quite beautiful. There are various performances and snacks.

The twin towers are both Liao Dynasty pavilion-style octagonal imitation wood brick towers. The north and south towers are 260 meters apart and are collectively called the Twin Towers. The south pagoda is named Zhidu Temple Pagoda, built in the eleventh year of Taiping in Liao Dynasty (1031), with five levels and 44 meters high; the north pagoda is the Yunju Temple Pagoda, built in the sixth year of Chongxi in Liao Dynasty (1037), with six levels, 56 meters high. The Zhuozhou Twin Towers were announced by the State Council as the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units on June 25, 2006. The Zhuozhou Twin Towers are the landmark buildings of Zhuozhou City. They have high historical value, artistic value, scientific value and Buddhist value. They have accumulated Zhuozhou’s rich ancient civilization and inherited Zhuozhou’s long history and culture as well as its prosperous and colorful humanities. The twin towers are beautiful in shape and have been praised by many literati and scholars throughout the ages. "Twin Towers Clear Smoke" is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Zhuozhou. According to historical records, the twin pagodas were repaired to varying degrees in the Liao, Jin, Ming and Qing dynasties. During the Jin-Feng War in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), the south tower was shelled, causing damage to the east side tower. In the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, the top and east wall of the tower collapsed, and the tower body cracked. After years of rain erosion, the damage worsened; Yunju Temple was also seriously damaged due to years of disrepair. In 2001, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the Hebei Cultural Relics Bureau, and the Zhuozhou Municipal People's Government jointly funded a protection and restoration project for the twin towers, effectively protecting and restoring the historical features. In August 2017, the restoration project of the murals in the cloister of Zhidu Temple Pagoda was launched. The south tower is now open to the public Time (Tuesday to Sunday) 9:00am-12:00am 14:00-17:00 pm Currently, the North Tower is not open.

||Check-in at Zhang Fei Temple. Zhang Fei Temple, located in Zhongyi Shop, the hometown of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. The Temple of Marquis Zhang was rebuilt in 1991. More than fifty acres of temples are arranged in order, including the mountain gate, horse palace, main hall, banquet hall, and tomb. To the south of the Temple of Marquis, there is a 'Hometown of the Oath of the Peach Garden', a lush peach garden. In the peach garden, there is an 'Ancient Well of Zhang Fei' and a horse trough, with a stele of Emperor Zhaolie of Han and the alliance hometown, and the stele of the ancient well of Marquis Zhang. It is said that Zhang Fei, who was defending Langzhong and eager to avenge the Eastern Wu, was assassinated by his generals Fan Jiang and Zhang Da. Fan and Zhang, who fled to the Eastern Wu, heard that the master of the Eastern Wu had changed his mind halfway, so they threw Zhang Fei's head into the Yangtze River. Later, it was salvaged and buried on Phoenix Mountain on the opposite bank of Yunyang, and the earliest Zhang Fei Temple was built. Since then, there has been a legend that Zhang Fei's 'body is buried in Langzhong, and his head is buried in Yunyang'. It is said that the tomb of Zhang Fei in Zhongyi Shop, Zhuozhou, Hebei, took some soil from the tombs of Zhang Fei in Langzhong and Yunyang, which is also a symbol and return of the soul to the hometown!

If you want to continue the “endless summer” this holiday, then this is a good choice🤭 "Putian Golden Street" is probably the most prosperous street in Putian! There are shops one after another from the street to the end of the street. Restaurants 🍴coffee ☕️ snacks and fast food 🍱 amusement facilities 🎠 rock climbing 🧗‍♀️ are surrounded by Wanda Plaza. In addition to the old retro "Putian Pedestrian Street", this is a more prosperous and modern new street. During the day, there are almost no people here except inside and outside the shopping mall because the weather is too hot. . . At night, the lights turn on, the music sounds, and the laughter continues into the night. The adjacent Golden Street can also pass through to the "Sichuan Street" in the outer ring, where there are many spicy hot pot and Sichuan snack bars.
