Huailai Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

The guesthouse where both Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu once stayed

In 1900, as the Eight-Nation Alliance approached Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi fled westward in a panic with Emperor Guangxu, and they stayed one night at the He family's large courtyard in Jiming Ancient Post. This large residence, with its five connected courtyards, was also the former command post of Jiming Ancient Post, the highest-ranking building in the entire ancient post. Today, it has become a famous attraction of Jiming Ancient Post—the one-night palace of Empress Dowager Cixi. 🖼️🖼️🖼️🖼️ After staying for one night, Empress Dowager Cixi personally wrote the characters 'Hongxi Jiefu' to express her gratitude to the He family, who treasured it like a precious gift and had it engraved on the stone wall of the fence. It has also become a famous spot for visitors today. Apart from this historical event, the brick carvings of the house are also quite impressive. It's rare to see such exquisite brick carvings in Hebei, which suggests the He family's wealth at the time.

Won't you come and visit the place where Cixi once fled to?

Jimingyi Ancient City in Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province | A 650-year-old post station Jimingyi City is located in Jimingyi Village, Jimingyi Township, Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. It is 62 kilometers southeast of Zhangjiakou City and 127 kilometers from Madian Bridge on the Third Ring Road of Beijing via the Beijing-Tibet Expressway. The newly opened Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway has a station in Huailai. Jimingyi got its name because it is backed by Jiming Mountain. According to the 'Huailai County Annals': 'During the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, the Eastern Turks invaded the Central Plains, and the border people could not live in peace. Therefore, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, personally led a military expedition and stayed at this mountain. At night, he heard the sound of chickens crowing on the mountain, hence the name Jiming Mountain.' In terms of transportation and post roads, the terrain of Huailai is flanked by two mountains with a valley in between, forming an east-west corridor. To the west are the highlands and deserts, and to the east is the strategic pass of Juyong. This was the 'Shanggu Thoroughfare' during the pre-Qin period. In the early Yuan Dynasty, a 'station' and an 'express post' were set up at the foot of Jiming Mountain to handle the transmission of military and political messages. During the Ming Dynasty, a city wall was built here, with two gates to the east and west, and the 'horse paths' served as the entry and exit routes for post horses. Jimingyi City is square-shaped, 467 meters long from east to west, and 463 meters wide from north to south. There are two main streets running through the city from east to west; the front street was a major street and once had the reputation of 'a street of merchants.' In the central area of the front street, there were the Guanyin Temple, Dragon King Temple, Three Observatories Temple, and the mansions and courtyards such as the He Family Courtyard; the back street had the Yongning Temple, Wenchang Temple, Taishan Temple, Sanyi Temple, Mawang Temple, and the post station's horse registry. The 'He Family Courtyard' of Jimingyi became a popular attraction because it once hosted Empress Dowager Cixi. In 1900, when the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu stayed here for one night while fleeing to Xi'an. To this day, on the mountain wall of the second courtyard, there are four large characters in regular script, 'Hongxi Jiefu,' which are said to have been inscribed by Empress Dowager Cixi herself. It was not until 1913, when the Beiyang government established the post office and abolished the post stations across the country, that Jimingyi City ended its 650-year history as a post station.

With a history of 600 years, it is the largest and most complete ancient post station architectural complex existing in China

Jimingyi Ancient City Jimingyi Ancient City is the largest and most complete ancient post station existing in the country, and is also a precious remnant of China's postal and military relay system, with significant historical, artistic, and scientific value. It is known as a 'living fossil' of postal archaeology and secret service archaeology. Jimingyi was originally established as a relay route by Genghis Khan during his western campaign, and was expanded in the 18th year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1420) to become the first major station for the Dinghuo Prefecture to enter the capital. There are as many as 17 temples from the Ming and Qing dynasties within the city, most of which are well-preserved. The Ming and Qing murals remaining in the temples are still colorful, and the figures are lifelike. Its unique historical and cultural landscape and postal value have attracted a large number of visitors and film and television drama writers from home and abroad. It has also been listed by the World Monuments Fund as one of the 100 most endangered cultural heritages in the world, which shows the high value of its cultural relics. Jimingyi Ancient City is located at the foot of Jiming Mountain on the north bank of the Yanghe River in Huailai County, covering an area of 22,000 square meters, with a nearly square plan and a city wall perimeter of 1891.8 meters. There are 4 corner towers evenly distributed around the city wall, with one city gate each on the east and west sides, equipped with gate towers, and smoke towers outside the city. The five roads inside the city crisscross, dividing the city into twelve areas of varying sizes. Existing relics include the Post Commissioner's Office and the Public Mansion Courtyard, as well as seven temples such as Taishan Temple, Wenchang Palace, Chenghuang Temple, Dragon God Temple, God of Wealth Temple, White-robed Guanyin Hall, and Yongning Temple, as well as the Hejia Courtyard, where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu stayed when they fled to Xi'an. Jimingyi Ancient City's travel guide: There are farmhouses in Jimingyi City where you can stay and dine, with each room generally costing 50-80 yuan and offering basic conditions. You can choose to stay in Xiahuayuan District of Zhangjiakou City or Shacheng in Huailai County, both of which have more mature reception conditions, with various grades of hotels and guesthouses available for accommodation, with standard rooms in ordinary guesthouses costing about a hundred yuan. The tourism development of Jimingyi Ancient City is still quite limited, and it is not as beautiful as the ancient towns of Pingyao and Xitang, but rather appears to be more dilapidated and disorderly, with more primitive buildings, etc. Please choose whether to visit according to personal preference. Jimingyi Ancient City's tour route: Visitors to Jimingyi Ancient City often come from Beijing and other places. If you only visit this one attraction, you can return on the same day. If you want to visit famous attractions in Huailai such as Jiming Mountain and Tianmo Park, you will need to stay overnight. Jimingyi Ancient City's best visiting time: Suitable for all seasons 📍Detailed address: Jimingyi Village, Jimingyi Township, Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City 🚉Transportation strategy: By car: You need to first reach Shacheng (the county seat of Huailai County), and take a minibus from Shacheng Bus Station to Jimingyi, which takes about half an hour and costs about 5 yuan.

Suburban Self-Driving | Here you can find the "Blue Ocean and Route 66"

Spent three days in Chongli for the Dragon Boat Festival I can't forget the grassland scenery here that resembles Altay Unexpectedly, there was a surprise on the way back! On the last day, I drove to Beijing and on the way to catch the high-speed train back to Shanghai, at the border of Beijing and Hebei I encountered an island-like 💙"Blue Ocean" and the same type of 🛣️"Route 66" as in Zhongwei 🌊The Guanting Reservoir is called the Gui River in Hebei and generally known as the Guihe River in Beijing. It is the oldest large reservoir on the Yongding River of the Haihe River system. Under the ☀️ clear sky, the water appears as blue as the ocean, and there are quite a few places along the way where you can get close to the water. Due to time constraints, we only stopped at two places⬇️ 📍Guihe River Ecological Tourism Area It is a developed tourist spot with facilities like speedboats for recreation. Here you can take photos with the Guanting Reservoir Bridge in the same frame, and the scenery is quite beautiful. The most shocking thing was that ❗️ I could still take pictures of rapeseed flowers in June‼️ The last time I was so amazed was when I saw cherry blossoms in Dalian in May 😂 📍Qingshui Fish Bay - Shanggu County There are many windmills here, and you can take photos with the reservoir ➕ mountains ➕ windmills in the same frame. However, the road along the river is a bit rough, and after the rain, a sedan might scrape its chassis 🛣️In the northern part of the Guanting Reservoir in the Beijing area, there is a small mountain road. Because of the dense vegetation on both sides and the road's straight shape with a certain slope, and with the backdrop of a large mountain range, it appears very three-dimensional under the compression of a telephoto lens. It is also known as the "Suburban Route 66", and if time allows, you can take a detour to see it 📍Gulong Road, is an eastward road, and the shooting location is about one-quarter from the west side

Drive 2 hours west of Beijing, pretend to see the sea

Taking a laid-back holiday at home is not satisfying, so for the May Day holiday, I plan a spontaneous trip around Beijing DAY1, heading towards Yu County. To avoid the crowds, I set off in the evening of the 1st, staying overnight at Guanting Reservoir first~ 🚉Transportation Strategy: Drive to Huailai Bridge, after getting off the bridge, you can follow the small road along the roadside to the reservoir. Recently, wooden stakes have been added, and the roads that cars can take to the reservoir have decreased, so it's best to arrive before dawn to find a spot. 🌟Highlights: The scenery is truly beautiful, with the bridge and windmills looking amazing during sunrise and sunset. Sometimes, if the clouds are impressive, it's even more breathtaking. Besides fishermen, there are currently few tourists, and now there are some ducks and waterbirds, but their numbers have decreased, probably because they are about to leave. Camping and cooking are also possible without any fees for now, and I heard that a paid campsite has recently opened nearby for those who need water and electricity. 🍽Dining Recommendations: I usually camp and cook here, but when I'm too lazy to cook, I go to the nearby Sizhuang Pillar Stewed Fish. After trying it once, I often go back because the taste is good and the prices are reasonable. This time, because I had to continue traveling, I didn't camp, and the dinner and breakfast in the picture cost ¥260, which was very filling for four people. It's a family-run place, and we usually call ahead to order, especially the stewed fish, to make sure they have fish. 🛏Accommodation Recommendations: Now the temperature is suitable for camping, and it's relatively safe here without much difficulty. I don't usually like challenging outdoor activities, so I come here often without any pressure. However, there's no water or electricity, so you need to bring enough, and you'll have to 'go wild' for bathroom needs. I've also stayed at Pillar's place in the winter when it's cold, which is economical and basically at the level of a farmhouse. I didn't leave until five in the afternoon, but I arrived just in time to see the sunset It's a great place to escape from Beijing for the weekend, and although I've been here many times, I've noticed the increasing management, so go and cherish it.

Experience a day at a winery in the suburbs of Beijing

Experience a day at a winery in the suburbs of Beijing| The second Qingpu we checked in with teammates is located near Beijing (Huailai, Hebei), about a two-hour drive from the city area. It must be said that each Qingpu is very different, each with very distinct local characteristics, but what remains unchanged is the excellent service. The predecessor of this Qingpu was Ruiyun Winery, with over 700 acres of vineyards, experiencing the cycle of spring growth, summer maturation, autumn harvest, and winter storage, creating a very pastoral and poetic atmosphere. Such a large place has only 15 guest rooms, which are very private and quiet. We booked a one-bedroom suite with a whopping 100 square meters, which also comes with a small courtyard, perfect for sunbathing. A welcome fruit basket is included with the stay. Due to being a winery, the decor has a very European flair. Here you can fully understand wine culture, including wine tasting, visiting the cellars, and so on. Other complimentary recreational activities include making clay rabbit figurines, wet plate photography, and metalworking jewelry. You can call the hotel in advance to confirm the specific schedule after booking. For dinner, you can choose between Chinese and Western cuisine. We chose Western, and the steak was surprisingly delicious!! It's a bit cold in early spring, and the courtyard feels a bit bleak, so May to September seems like a better season. Weddings can also be held here, but when we asked about availability for the second half of 2023 for 2024, May to September were already fully booked. A very special day at the winery, adding a little bit more to the experience of life! Looking forward to checking in at the next Qingpu with my teammates~~

Well, perhaps called "Tian Mo Film and Television Base" is more appropriate. Longbao Mountain, located in the southwestern part of Xiaonanxinbao Town, Huailai County, is 90 kilometers away from Beijing. Although it is small in size, it is in line with the Badaling Great Wall and Kangxi Grassland. Throughout, there are mountains, Gobi, and deserts. Many northwest style scenes of film and television are filmed here. Well, big movies such as "Mummy 3" and "Longmen Flying A" are also shot here. The houses in Tian Mo are built by the past crews, and there is a sense of desolateness in the northwest desert. Tian Mo has taken a lot of film and television dramas here, and "Journey to the West" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have taken the scene here. Tianqian covers an area of 1,300 acres, the area is not large, but the victory is close to the emperor. The sand of the desert is floating on the surface, and the bottom is the soil. The sand of the desert is from Inner Mongolia. It comes with the strong wind. In the winter season, ice and sand are mixed together. We also encountered a film crew, a horse team and a lens on the sand dunes, NG several times. Even the camels here often come to the "extra actor" in the movie.

Leaving the noisy city, it's as if you've entered a European town, and the change of environment is so delightful! The fragrance culture here includes historical stories and the handcrafting of incense, with knowledge points to "see"—a great place to visit!
