Mount Guayun: Step into a magnificent painting of history and sea of clouds

✨A hidden gem in Shijiazhuang 📍Location: Northeast of Jingxing County, Shijiazhuang 🚗Transportation: 1-hour drive from downtown, free parking/day 🌟Recommended highlights: ▫️The nickname "Little Mount Tai of North China" is well deserved! The 748-meter peak hides a 3-million-year-old glacial pothole wonder🧊. Watching the sunrise and sea of clouds from Sunrise Peak is truly breathtaking🌄 (photography pros are said to come here with their cameras) ▫️A must-visit red historical site! The story of the "Six Heroes of Mount Guayun" in 1940 is heart-wrenching—Lv Xiulan led five militia members to cover the troop retreat, and after running out of bullets and food, they collectively jumped off the cliff to die for their country. The Martyrs Memorial Pavilion and cliff-jumping site are at the summit, standing here will really bring tears to your eyes😭 ▫️There is also a charming ancient temple complex at the top! A Taoist temple built in the Northern Song Dynasty, an ancient Kangxi bell, the Lianxin Bridge… perfect for amazing photos📸 🍜Food recommendations: At the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, try the firewood scrambled eggs🥚 and big iron pot stews! You can eat your fill for about 30+ RMB per person, and the clay oven meat-filled pancakes are so fragrant they make me cry😋 💡Travel tips: ✅Free admission! Free! Free! (Important, said three times) ✅Wear comfortable sneakers, some sections are steep ✅Bring some snacks, the mountain-top convenience store is a bit pricey
