Awakening from a dream, the Red Mansion is empty, a city for the niche

A treasure of a small city🌆 Nine floors, four towers, eight temples, twenty-four golden archways That is Hebei Zhengding - This is the hometown of Zhao Zilong Also an ancient military stronghold Here, there are ancient buildings with a history as long as Shanxi's In the early years, due to Zhengding Airport's policy I have taken many flights here But never took the time to thoroughly explore this small city I didn't expect it to bring me such a big surprise - 🌴Zhengding citywalk one-day tour route Airport - Ancient City - Longxing Temple - Rongguo House - Tianning Temple - Confucian Temple - Kaiyuan Temple - Yanghe Tower - Linji Temple - Guanghui Temple - Zhengding South Gate City Wall to watch the sunset 🌴Attraction recommendations 🔸Longxing Temple A temple worth visiting in Zhengding city, one of China's ten famous temples, a monastery outside the capital, attracting Mr. Liang Sicheng to visit four times, with a Northern Song Dynasty hall, a suspended sculpture of Guanyin that Mr. Lu Xun called 'the beauty of the East', the oldest revolving scripture cabinet, the tallest and oldest bronze cast Thousand-Hand Guanyin, and the earliest regular script stele. It's really worth a visit 🔸Rongguo House The filming location for the 1987 version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', where you can go to take photos in the same style 🔸Tianning Temple With Song Dynasty ruins, it has the country's earliest ancient pagoda with a central pillar structure 🔸Yanghe Tower If you're tired, you can rest here, there are many cultural and creative shops, snacks, and beverage stores, and you can also go to the second floor for a panoramic view 🔸Linji Temple The ancestral court of the Buddhist Linji school, one of the five major schools of Zen Buddhism 🔸Guanghui Temple The flower pagoda here is really distinctive and very beautiful, Liang Sicheng called it 'a unique example overseas' 🔸South Gate City Wall You can watch the sunset here, and you can see four towers, with a telephoto lens you can capture three towers in one frame - 🏨About accommodation: It's good to stay inside the ancient city, living in Zhengding small city is very cheap 🍔About food: There are many night markets, I recommend going to the one at Zhengding small commodity market which is right opposite Zhengding station, other options include donkey meat sandwiches, hohhot noodles, rib noodles, Zhengding's eight great bowls, hot cut meatballs, etc., you can also try the northern meatballs and steamed dumplings, which are different from the southern sticky rice dumplings
