Hebei's ancient post station with a history of over 700 years.

🏨 Jimingyi Ancient Town ❤Recommended reason: Drive along the G6 Beijing–Lhasa Expressway for 100 km, away from the hustle and bustle of Beijing, and you will find Jimingyi, an ancient post station with a history of over 700 years, hidden in the lonely and towering Jiming Mountain. 🌟Highlights: Jimingyi, named after the mountain, was built in the Yuan Dynasty. Inside the square ancient city, there are many ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the east and west gate towers stand tall! Before the restoration, the east gate was a classic filming location for the movie "A Chinese Odyssey", while the west gate offers a panoramic view of Jiming Mountain and the ancient city. Walking on the ancient city wall, you will feel like you have traveled back in time to the Ming Dynasty! 🗓Itinerary: Start from the east gate → Post Station Culture Museum → Taishan Palace → Wenchang Pavilion → Dragon King Temple → God of Wealth Temple → Yicheng Mansion → He Family Residence → Climb the west gate tower → Walk halfway along the city wall → Return to the east gate. The whole tour takes about 2 hours. 👍Most recommended: Post Station Culture Museum: The museum tells the story of the great changes in ancient postal, military, and transportation through a combination of objects and pictures. Taishan Palace: The palace is dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun, with colorful and vivid murals. Wenchang Pavilion: Built along the city wall, it is a sacred place for worshiping Wenchang Dijun and for post station students to seek knowledge. Dragon King Temple: The ancient stele and the ancient stage coexist with the White-robed Guanyin Hall, with delicate murals. God of Wealth Temple: Pray for wealth and prosperity. The murals in the temple are resplendent and magnificent, using exquisite gold foil techniques. Yicheng Mansion: The political center of the city in the past, where the highest official of the post station in the Qing Dynasty worked. He Family Residence: In 1900, Empress Dowager Cixi stayed here during her westward journey. The brick carving "Hongxi Jiefu" in the west wing is particularly eye-catching. 🍽Dining recommendation: Be sure to try the local specialty dish, Beizi, with its unique flavor!
