This May Day, there were too many people in Baoding

This May Day, there were too many people in Baoding❗❗ 🌿 Checked in at the Paleozoological Museum, our hotel is nearby, Yuewei Smart Hotel (Baoding East Station Hedao New District Store). Although Yuewei Smart is a chain, this one has better ratings, and it's also close to the Paleozoological Museum. 💢 I really have some complaints about the Paleozoological Museum. First of all, the parking lot, I found that the security guards generally tell cars from other provinces that there are no parking spots, asking them to park across the street, but Beijing and Hebei license plates are allowed in. This is discrimination❗ 🌿 From the outside, it looks big, with many halls, but actually, it's quite ordinary inside. The dinosaur exhibits are not as spectacular and diverse as the ones I saw in my elementary school days at the Tianjin Natural Museum, and the marine life is not as extensive as the Tianjin Sea Museum. It's probably a collection of many, but not many exhibits, and it takes about 1 hour to finish the tour. Those who didn't manage to book in advance don't need to feel too upset. If I have time, I will go to the Tianjin Natural Museum and take some photos for everyone, a paradise for dinosaur enthusiasts! 📍 Wanted to go for Anjia Zhaobing for lunch, got there around 1 pm, and they had already stopped taking numbers. I called other branches and Baifu, and they had stopped as well. Finally found a place called Ma Pangzi Zhaobing (Huajiaoyuan Store), a Hui Zhaobing shop, with no stir-fry dishes, just beef Zhaobing, lamb offal, beef tripe, meatball tofu puffs, cold dishes, etc. The taste was still good, and the Zhaobing has similarities to the Xi'an beef stew Mo. I suggest if you want to eat at Anjia or Baifu during the May Day period, you probably need to line up before 11 am!! 📍 In the afternoon, I went to Xidajie, which felt a bit like a market, with some uninteresting food stalls, a bit too commercialized, lacking traditional culture. Considering the crowd in Baoding during May Day, I had a cup of coffee there and quickly went to line up for Baoding Banquet. ❗️ Arrived at Baoding Banquet around 4:10 pm, went directly to the second floor for individual diners, but they wouldn't let us take a number in advance, saying to come back when dinner starts at 5:20 pm. This seemed quite unreasonable. The first floor had some snacks, nothing special, just snacks you can find in any city. After 5 pm, we could enter and order by scanning a QR code. ✅ We ordered stir-fried Dai crab, pot-wrapped elbow, and Governor's tofu, the portions were too large, and every table couldn't finish, it's suggested to offer smaller portions so that people can try more dishes❗❗❗❗❗ Do not recommend the stir-fried Dai crab! It doesn't taste like crab, but more like tomato and egg. Although there is crab meat, the tomato sauce is too overpowering, and you can't taste the seafood flavor. The pot-wrapped elbow's skin is very crispy, a bit fatty and should be eaten while hot, the sauce with the pancakes is quite good. The tofu is mediocre, with a sweet aftertaste, and the sauce is thick. Everyone can bookmark this, I will share more food later
