New discovery for summer fun with kids! Baishi Mountain in Hebei, known as the "Northern Zhangjiajie," stays only 19℃ in summer! Plus super cool cliff via ferrata climbing and canyon giant swing! 🌲 📍 Location: Baoding, Hebei · Baishi Mountain, 1.5 hours by high-speed train directly from Beijing. ✅ Must-see wonders for kids: Buddha Light Peak sea of clouds, the rock that looks like Bajie getting married, glass plank road. 🚗 Transportation guide (stress-free with kids): High-speed train + taxi: Beijing West → Baoding East (1 hour), then taxi to the scenic area (about 150 RMB, carpooling is more cost-effective). Lazy choice: Join a "Baishi Mountain one-day tour" departing from Baoding or Shijiazhuang directly to avoid transportation hassle. ⛰️ Three family-friendly routes, choose based on kids' stamina: 🔥 Adventure challenge line (for older kids/dads with kids): Cable car up from East Gate → play advanced via ferrata (vertical ladder is super thrilling) → photo at Mountain Alliance Terrace → challenge giant swing (canyon swing) → climb Buddha Light Peak to see sea of clouds → cable car down. (about 5 hours) 💚 Zen sightseeing line (suitable for most families): Bus up from East Gate → Chive Garden → walk cliff plank road (rest at cliff café midway) → see Bajie getting married rock → Shuangxiong Rock glass plank road → cable car down. (about 3-4 hours) 🌿 Easy leisure line for toddlers (mainly relaxing): Cable car up from East Gate → electric cart at Chive Garden → photo check-in at Leizhenzi Wings → feed little squirrels at 1600m line 🐿️ → take Feiyunkou cable car down. (about 2.5 hours) 🍽️ Food & accommodation tips: Stay on the mountain: Shangyun Jian Hotel, window views of sea of clouds, but pricier. Stay at the foot of the mountain: Recommended "Baishi Mountain She" homestay in Laiyuan County, great value, spicy stir-fried mountain mushrooms are delicious! Eating on the mountain: Knife-cut noodles at Shuangxiong Rock Snack City are good, latte at cliff café is paying for the view~ ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls with kids: To see sunrise and sea of clouds, you must stay on the mountain because the bus only departs at 9 am. It’s windy and cold on the peak, even in July bring a thin down jacket for kids! Gloves are a must for via ferrata, secure your phone with a lanyard! If driving yourself, mountain roads have many curves, new drivers be cautious. Don’t know where to take kids in summer? Baishi Mountain is definitely a surprising choice! Cool, fun, stunning scenery, add it to your list! 💖

In winter, if you want to ski, soak in hot springs, and go mountaineering, the small city of Laiyuan in Baoding can satisfy you all at once!

When I went to Baoding to visit my friends, I found out that the best anorectal hospital in China is not in Chengdu, but in Baoding, because it can protect the buttocks! Back to the topic, this city that I had never actively wanted to visit before also has its own heritage and many small and beautiful spots, which is very suitable for citywalk! · 1️⃣ West Street Baoding West Street was formed after Baoding was rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty. It has the overall style characteristics of the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods, combining Chinese and Western styles. [Zhili Post Office] [Florence Coffee] is very good at producing coffee. · 2️⃣ Zhili Governor's Office Learn about the culture and historical stories of the Qing Dynasty government offices. 1-9 official refrigerator magnets are very beautiful! · 3️⃣ Daci Pavilion The majestic and magnificent ancient building is magnificent. The temple is filled with the lingering Buddhist sounds and a sacred atmosphere, and is one of the landmark buildings in Baoding. 👉You can visit the [Baoding Catholic Church] next to it, and there is also the [Bell Tower Bread], you have to queue up one hour in advance. · 4️⃣ Huaijun Office The overall architectural style is compatible with both north and south. The reception courtyard, theater (Tindar plays when the sun is good), Xiantang, and Zhaozhong Temple are in the Hui style, and the northern courtyard is in the form of a northern quadrangle. · 5️⃣Baoding Museum It’s a pity that the museum’s treasure, the bronze horse 🐴, was taken away by the Shijiazhuang Museum, and only a replica remains. [Baoding Art Museum] [Guan Hanqing Grand Theater] is right next to it! · 6️⃣China Paleozoological Museum First of all, the architecture is very outstanding, a masterpiece by a master. Then there is the largest paleontological museum with numerous fossils. The dinosaur fossil exhibition area is extremely shocking. · 7️⃣Baoding City Exhibition Center The technology exhibition hall perfectly integrates sound, light and electricity, and there is a free "flying over the horizon" experience. · 8️⃣Lianchi Academy One of the eight scenic spots in Baoding Ancient City, Emperor Kangxi once carved a stone with the inscription "Dragon Flying" in his handwriting. Don't miss it if you like the history of ancient buildings and gardens. · 9️⃣ Qingxiling The grand royal mausoleum complex is magnificent. · In general, Baoding is a very surprising city. I hope you can spend 2-3 days to visit this city that even the donkeys don't want to leave.

😎 I traveled 300 km just for this room! I have always wanted to stay in a room with a bamboo forest outside the window. This time, I finally found a good place in the province, so I don't have to travel far. 😜 When I woke up in the morning, I lay in bed 🛏️ and didn't want to get up! I just watched the bamboo swaying in the wind outside the window, the bamboo leaves falling one by one, and occasionally a bird or butterfly flying by. It was so pleasant! 😍 When I walked out of the room, wow! The fragrance of osmanthus flowers filled the air 🌼, and the rustling of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves 🎋 and the sound of flowing water were like a symphony of nature, refreshing and pleasant. I felt healed. 🤗 🎈 The service here is also great! Although it is a homestay, the service is not sloppy at all. The butler contacted me in advance via WeChat and created an exclusive service group. When I checked in, there were welcome fruits and refreshing tea 🍵, and they helped me with my luggage 🧳. It was so thoughtful! 🛏️ The room was so clean that I felt super comfortable walking barefoot on the floor! The food, drinks, and supplies in the room were of good quality. 👍 🤔 When it was almost time to check out, we were still hesitating whether to stay another night. It was so comfortable! 🍲 For dinner, you can order the homestay's special hot pot, which is delicious! Breakfast is included in the room rate, and there are two options: abalone porridge and wontons, both of which are super delicious 😋. For lunch, we went to Zhengguo Old Street, which is not far from the homestay, and it was very lively! 🤩 There are several amusement forest scenic spots and cultural villages nearby, but it was inconvenient for us to visit with a baby, so we just came to enjoy this bamboo forest homestay and didn't visit other places. 😏 🎊 The homestay also has a swimming pool and hot spring pool, and several rooms have children's swimming lanes. There is also a tea room, yoga room, and meeting room, and there are various room types. It really has everything! 😎 After visiting, many friends asked me where this was, and they were all attracted by the beautiful pictures of the homestay I posted! 🤳 In short, this is really a good place to consider staying again! 🤗💕 📍 Homestay: Baoding Four Seasons Bamboo Forest Academy

Baoding city in Hebei province, it is an industrial city with good structure for visitors

Baoding Botanical Garden is worth a trip if you need a break from the bustling city, and a breath of fresh air. It is a huge green space, a haven amidst the skyscrapers, with statues, lakes and even a small fair park to enjoy. Lots of places to sit and eat a picnic, and escape that summer sunshine in the shade of the forests. Visit in spring for the first blooms, in summer to escape the heat, and autumn for the changing leaves. A beautiful place! #triplocal

📌Yishui Lake 📌 From the ticket gate to the location we have to board the ship for approximately 10 minutes. Entrance and shipping fees are 120 RMB. At the location we are presented with a natural view of the lake surrounded by hills. The path used to climb hills is strong and comfortable, especially the climbing process that is not too difficult, suitable for young children and old people. Be careful with your items, especially sunglasses and hats. Because of the wind or accidentally falling, do not expect to be taken back. You are not allowed to climb the road fence or go down the hillside. #givethanks
