Longxing Temple was originally named Longzang Temple, and its name was changed to Longxing Temple during the Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of the Kaibao era of the Northern Song Dynasty (971 AD), a Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue was cast and the Great Compassion Pavilion was built by order of Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, forming the main architectural complex of the Song Dynasty. It was repaired during the Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and underwent large-scale reconstruction during the Kangxi and Qianlong eras of the Qing Dynasty, forming a three-section layout of east, central, and west. After falling into disrepair in modern times, it was restored to its original appearance through scientific preservation after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Longxing Temple is a typical example for studying the layout of Buddhist temple architecture, integrating Buddhist art with traditional Chinese culture. Emperors of past dynasties, such as Kangxi and Qianlong, once stayed there. We also visited Longxing Temple to experience the architectural styles of the Tang, Song, and Qing dynasties, to feel the Buddha's broad-mindedness, and to feel the traces of the past.

Perhaps because of the rain, there weren't many people. It's a small ancient town with almost no interactive activities. There were only a few shows, which weren't as good as the online reviews suggested. The food at the small shops was expensive and mediocre. More importantly, while it's a half-hour taxi ride there, it took ages to get back. I finally managed to get a shared ride, but they wouldn't even charge extra. Transportation is inconvenient. The 98 yuan entrance fee only covered the night view.

As the filming location for the classic version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", it made good use of this theme, recreating many story scenes, and also allowing for a deeper understanding of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Cao Xueqin and "Redology".

The Hebei Museum, formerly the Hebei Provincial Museum, was established in 1953. It is the only provincial-level comprehensive museum in Hebei Province, a national first-class museum, and a key national museum jointly established by the central and local governments. The Hebei Museum consists of the main campus, the Jianhua campus, and the Yucai campus. The main campus is located in Shijiazhuang Cultural Square and is divided into two areas: the north area, built in 1968, and the south area, a newly expanded area. The harmonious and unified architecture of the two areas is majestic and magnificent, becoming a landmark cultural landscape of Shijiazhuang. The Hebei Museum, capturing the most fascinating chapters of Hebei's history, features ten permanent exhibitions: "Hebei in the Stone Age," "Hebei Shang Dynasty Civilization," "A Song of Generosity and Tragedy - Stories of Yan and Zhao," "The Glory of the Warring States - Ancient Zhongshan Kingdom," "The Last Song of the Han Dynasty - Mancheng Han Tombs," "Quyang Stone Sculptures," "Northern Dynasties Murals," "Famous Kilns and Porcelains," "The War Against Japanese Aggression - Heroic Hebei," and "Enjoying Hebei - Intangible Cultural Heritage Reception Hall - Exhibition of Achievements in the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Hebei Province." Among them, the most exciting ones are the heroic and tragic songs, the heroic spirit of the Warring States Period, and the swan song of the Han Dynasty.

The Zhaozhou Bridge was built by Lu Ban, with jade railings. The sage left Zhang Guolao riding a donkey across the bridge, and Prince Chai pushing a cart pushed a ditch. (Ma Ya Hei, ~) It is said that the old stone bridge indeed had grooves on it, resembling "donkey hoof prints," created by depressions in the stones and rutting. Due to stone replacement during renovations, the current "donkey hoof prints" are made of new stone, while the old stone is displayed in the warehouse, serving as a footnote to the story.

The scenery is as shown in the picture. I waited for more than an hour for the cable car on National Day, and two hours for the cable car on the way down. I gave up and walked down. My legs were shaking. The experience will be much better if you come on non-holidays. The scenery is still good.

I took my kids to the Shijiazhuang Zoo over the weekend and had a fantastic experience. The park is well-planned and features over 270 species of animals, including adorable giant pandas and golden monkeys. The zoo was clean, and the feeding area was well-regulated. However, it was crowded on weekends, and some of the facilities were dated. The affordable admission and direct bus service made it a perfect family trip. I'll definitely be back.

In October 2025, we took a self-driving tour of Hebei and Tianjin, visiting Cangyan Mountain in Shijiazhuang. Cangyan Mountain, a renowned historical and cultural mountain in China, is part of the Taihang Mountains. It boasts a unique Danxia landform, with steep, crimson cliffs and impressive views. The mountain boasts towering ancient trees and is renowned for its "Sixteen Scenic Spots of Cangyan." The area boasts numerous ancient buildings, including the Fuqing Temple, which boasts a history of over 1,600 years. The Qiaolou Hall, one of my country's three largest hanging temples, spans two mountains. The stone bridge, constructed during the Sui Dynasty, boasts exquisite craftsmanship. Furthermore, buildings such as the Nanyang Princess Shrine offer a charming and quaint atmosphere. Cangyan Mountain has served as a filming location for films and television series such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Journey to the West." We departed Shijiazhuang for Baoding.

The Zhao Yun Temple, imitating the ancient architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, is divided into two courtyards. Key buildings include the temple gate, the Four Righteousness Hall, the Five Tigers Hall, the Hall of the Emperor and His Ministers, and the Hall of the Marquis of Shunping. While retaining and enriching the historical features of the original temple, it complements surrounding attractions like the Longxing Temple and the Rongguo Mansion.
