Things to do in Jinzhou

Overall, it's alright. If you get up early, you can walk from the scenic area gate to Bijia Mountain at low tide; at high tide, you can take a speedboat. Once you reach Bijia Mountain, you need to hike, and it's not far to Sanqing Pavilion. Climbing Sanqing Pavilion requires walking uphill, passing through Pangu Square.

As one of the eight major Liao Dynasty architectural masterpieces, the magnificent Mahavira Hall and its Buddha statues are well worth the ticket price. A thorough visit and exploration, learning about the story of this thousand-year-old temple, makes the experience even more vivid and intuitive; this dialogue with history is itself the meaning of travel.

The scenery is beautiful, the ticket price is cheap, and you can drive your own car in, which is great. However, the roads in the scenic area, especially the walking paths, should be improved; some parts are in bad condition and quite dangerous. Also, the attitude of some staff at the cable car station needs improvement.

Who else has been a loyal fan for 17 consecutive years? Me? Haha 😃 A journey of tranquility. Stepping through the mountain gate, I felt inexplicably at peace. The air was fresh, the environment was beautiful, everything was wonderful. Seeing Qingyan Temple getting better and better these past few years makes me so happy 😁 May we all get better and better 👌🏻

I'm so happy to have the opportunity to visit Fengguo Temple again. It's truly beautiful, especially since it just reopened after renovations in October. Overall, it's very nice, and I highly recommend and love it. I'm planning to visit the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves later; I hope it will be a wonderful experience as well. Today has been a wonderful day because of this wonderful trip.

The highlight is the breathtaking panoramic painting gallery titled "The Capture of Jinzhou," which creates an immersive battlefield experience through a 122-meter circular painting and sound, light, and electricity special effects. It also offers a wealth of precious cultural relics and free guided tours, allowing visitors to deeply experience the history and revolutionary spirit of the Liaoshen Campaign. The memorial tower and weapons park outside the museum are also worth seeing [__LINK_ICON].

We hiked on October 6th. It wasn't crowded. Children's tickets need to be purchased on-site at the scenic area. There were many performances and interactive programs, which were quite interesting and provided a great experience. There's no cable car, and the mountain isn't high or steep, making it suitable for both the elderly and children. We hiked at a leisurely pace, starting at 9:30 am and ending at 2 pm, including rest and lunch time. The glass walkway costs 30 yuan per person separately, and parking is 20 yuan per vehicle with no time limit. There are also some private parking lots outside the scenic area for 5 or 10 yuan.

There are many travel photography places at the entrance, the prices are not expensive and you can choose. The scenery includes the Little Potala Palace, the Little Great Wall, and the Little Temple of Heaven. It is too far to take photos at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. This time you can take photos at a close distance.

It's not as good as when it was first opened. In recent years, some places have been changed and some have been closed. You can just take a look at it when you have time.

Located in the core area of ​​the Jehol Biota, the Yixian Sino-German Paleontological Museum houses many precious fossils and also offers a simulated excavation experience. The museum is small but packed with valuable information, and it's quiet and not crowded. It's a convenient stop after visiting Fengguo Temple to experience the wonders of life in western Liaoning millions of years ago.
