Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located in the central Hebei Plain, the ancient city of Zhengding carries the spiritual and elegant spirit of the thousand-year-old Buddhist vein. It is home to many national-level Buddhist relics such as Longxing Temple and Linji Temple, forming a unique Zen cultural landscape. Entering Longxing Temple, the Song Dynasty building complex stands tall, the 21.3-meter-high bronze Thousand-armed Guanyin looks down on all living beings with compassion, the inverted Guanyin statue is known as the "Oriental Beauty Goddess", and the wooden structure of the Wheel of Revelation is amazing. Linji Temple is the ancestral home of the Zen sect. Under the ancient blue brick tower, you can listen to the morning bell and evening drum, and experience the clear state of meditation. The Tang Dynasty bell tower and Xumi Tower of Kaiyuan Temple form a "half-Tang structure" wonder, and the relief of the strong man on the Hua Tower of Guanghui Temple fully displays the charm of Liao Dynasty carving. Visitors can participate in experience projects such as copying scriptures, Zen tea, and Buddhist music appreciation, and feel the Zen enlightenment of "Let's have tea" in the thousand-year-old temple. The Buddhist Culture Festival held every year also uses activities such as the Lantern Festival and vegetarian tasting to allow modern people to touch the spiritual core of Chinese Buddhist culture through the three dimensions of architecture, art, and rituals. This "ancient art treasure house" is waiting for the destined people to start their spiritual journey with the Zen spirit of traveling through time and space.

Longxing Temple, the Six Marvels await your exploration!

Longxing Temple, the Six Marvels await your exploration!

Zhengding Longxing Temple, also known as the Great Buddha Temple, has a history that can be traced back to the sixth year of the Sui Dynasty's Kaihuang era. Originally named Longzang Temple, it was later bestowed the name Longxing Temple during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it is listed as one of China's top ten famous temples. If you have ever visited, then you must remember the following Six Marvels to truly appreciate its charm. The First Marvel is the bronze Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin inside the Dabeige Pavilion, standing at 21.3 meters tall. It was cast during the Northern Song Dynasty by order of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and is the tallest and oldest Guanyin statue in the world, commonly known as the 'Great Bodhisattva of Zhengding Prefecture'. The Second Marvel is the colorful Shuao Guanyin statue inside the Mani Hall, with a beautiful and serene face and a graceful and dignified posture, praised by Mr. Lu Xun as the 'Eastern Goddess of Beauty'. The Third Marvel is the Mani Hall itself, with its peculiar structure and unique form. The square hall has a Xieshan-style pavilion protruding from the center of each side, forming a 'cross' shape on the plan, which Mr. Liang Sicheng praised as a unique example of ancient world architecture. The Fourth Marvel is the Song Dynasty's revolving sutra repository, the oldest existing revolving sutra repository in China. It is shaped like an octagonal pavilion with sutra drawers inside, which can store Buddhist scriptures and can be rotated when pushed. The Fifth Marvel is the Sui Dynasty's Longzang Temple Stele, the earliest existing stele inscription in regular script, acclaimed as the number one stele of regular script. The Sixth Marvel is the bronze cast Pilu Buddha inside the Pilu Hall, one of the most exquisite works of ancient China, considered a unique example within the country. This Pilu Buddha is made of bronze, standing at 6.72 meters tall, showcasing the highest level of bronze casting craftsmanship of the time. If you plan to visit Zhengding Longxing Temple, then please make sure not to miss these Six Marvels. Also, don't forget to ask for a guide at the interpretation reception next to the ticket office. They can provide you with more detailed explanations, making your journey more enriching and interesting.

Shijiazhuang Hotel|Hebei Hotel·An Yue Hotel

Shijiazhuang Hotel|Hebei Hotel·An Yue Hotel

|Hebei Hotel·An Yue Hotel. Hebei Hotel·An Yue Hotel is designed based on the ancient city of Zhengding, blending Chinese ancient architectural elements and current social needs. The hotel is part of the Zhengding Li comprehensive project. -Surrounding environment Just a few minutes' drive from Zhengding South Gate, the hotel is opposite the Hutuo River, with a nice surrounding environment and fresh air. It takes about thirty minutes to get here from the city center via Xincheng Avenue or Sports Street. The street lights in Zhengding are very beautiful at night, and the planning is getting better and better~ -Hotel environment As a designer, I pay more attention to the style and details of the hotel. Personally, I think it is one of the hotels in Shijiazhuang with newer decoration and more aesthetic sense. The surrounding environment is very good, the overall color tone is warm light and light coffee color, and the wood decoration is more coordinated with Zhengding ancient city. The hotel has complete facilities, such as gym, swimming pool, etc., which can be used when checking in, and there are few people. The intelligent planning in the room is also very convenient. The bathroom uses Hansgrohe sanitary ware, and the handling of many details is very exquisite. For this price, it is really good. Maybe I pay more attention to style, I feel better than some old hotels in the city, and you can see the opposite plants, Hutuo River, clouds from the window, without other buildings appearing in your sight, I like this feeling.

Zhengding Ancient City: Find the Pagoda

Zhengding Ancient City: Find the Pagoda

During the holiday, I took a private car in Shijiazhuang and had time for a one-day tour of Zhengding Ancient City. I took a taxi directly to Longxing Temple, stored my luggage at the customer service center, and started my journey to find the pagoda. The ancient city is not large, and the core is Longxing Temple. The six wonders of the temple are all amazing. If you like ancient architecture, you must not miss it. It takes about an hour and a half to walk around Longxing Temple. After visiting Longxing Temple, you can follow the order of the pagodas in the picture and take photos of the four pagodas. To be honest, you don't have to go into the temples behind. You can just take photos at the entrance because there is only this pagoda in the temple, and the rest can be ignored. At noon, I tasted the local specialty, helao noodles, in Zhengding. I chose Chen Hezi, which tasted good. There were many people, so you must go early. The beef balls opposite the restaurant are also good, so you can try them. In the afternoon, I went to Rongguo Mansion. I don't think it's interesting. Red Mansion Dream fans can go and have a look. Otherwise, I don't think it's necessary. I didn't visit Zilong Temple because of limited time. Friends who drive can drive there. There is a small parking lot in front of each temple for free parking.

【Zhengding Ancient City】Four towers stand tall, guarding a city

【Zhengding Ancient City】Four towers stand tall, guarding a city

|||🔶Tour route: The four towers of Zhengding are not far apart. When the weather is cool, you can start the citywalk mode. You can first climb the ancient city wall of Changle Gate on the south side of the city and take a 💯three towers in one💯 photo. Then head north, visiting Guanghui Temple➡️Linji Temple➡️Yanghe Tower➡️Kaiyuan Temple➡️Tianning Temple in turn. Tianning Temple is a bit far away, at the far north. If the weather is hot, like in summer, there is not much shade on this route. If you want a "luxury tour", you can take a taxi, with each stop being a three to five minute drive. 🔶About self-driving: You can navigate to the parking lot of Guanghui Temple, or navigate to Chengling Temple. There are many parking spaces nearby. On holidays, many streets in the ancient city will become pedestrian streets and prohibit driving after about eight o'clock in the evening, making parking very inconvenient, with no-entry signs everywhere. 🔶Record of the Four Towers: 1️⃣Tianning Temple Lingxiao Tower A nine-story brick and wood mixed structure tower, the most unique feature is that the first to third floors of the tower body are brick-imitation wood structure, the fourth floor is a brick and wood mixed structure, and the fifth to ninth floors are wood structure. It is said that the fourth floor retains the tower core column structure composed of nine round columns. Among the existing ancient towers in China, only the Lingxiao Tower of Tianning Temple still has this structure. Unfortunately, climbing the tower is now prohibited, and we can only admire the wisdom of the ancients from the introduction. 2️⃣Kaiyuan Temple Sumeru Tower The whole body is made of brick, and the stone plaque on the front of the tower is engraved with the four characters "Sumeru stands tall". Apart from the stone tower door hole with some carvings, there are no other decorations, which is slightly simple compared to the other three ancient towers. 3️⃣Guanghui Temple Hua Tower A relic of the Jin Dynasty, it is a three-story octagonal tower that looks like a blooming flower. The upper half of the tower is carved with tigers, lions, elephants, dragons, bodhisattvas and strong men, etc., with exquisite workmanship and lifelike, it is my favorite among the four towers. 4️⃣Linji Temple Chengling Tower It is an octagonal nine-story solid brick tower with a delicate overall design, beautiful shape, rich decoration, and a structure full of changes. The tower body is obviously inward, showing a delicate state, and it is the most delicate among the four towers in the ancient city.

Please be prepare on your physical strength (especially your feet), since walk around this area would be a long march 🐱 #weekendgetaways

[Zhengding County, Hebei - Hutuo River Ecological Tourism Area]

[Zhengding County, Hebei - Hutuo River Ecological Tourism Area]

⛰[Travel Guide] The recent TV series "Hometown Soil" focuses on "land" and "food" and tells the story of three generations of farmers represented by Liang Chuangen, Chunxue, Maicha, and Tianjiao, who remain true to their original aspirations, take root in the countryside, and create a better life. Through the great changes along the Hutuo River, the series reflects the difficult process and great achievements of rural reform and opening up, and through the struggle stories of ordinary people, it reflects the people's yearning and pursuit for a better life. It was because of this TV series that I came to visit the Hutuo River! With the arrival of winter, nature seems to have changed into a new picture, and the Hutuo River Ecological Tourism Scenic Area has a unique flavor. This meandering river not only nourishes the land along the banks but also shows a quiet and mysterious beauty in winter. The first thing that catches your eye is the Hutuo Flower Sea. Although the flowers have withered in winter, the withered branches still show a different kind of beauty. Next is the Leaf Square, a landmark building in the scenic area. It is not only unique in appearance but also a place for various cultural activities. Here, you can take a break or participate in interactive activities on the square to experience the unique charm of Hutuo River culture. Strolling along the banks of the Hutuo River, you can admire the Hutuo Imprint, which features a series of sculptures and landscapes that showcase the historical and cultural heritage of the Hutuo River. Through these artworks, you can gain a deeper understanding of the historical origins of this river with Shijiazhuang and even Hebei.
