Things to do in Xiong County

Baiyangdian truly lives up to its name as the Pearl of North China. Boating through the reed marshes is incredibly atmospheric, and in summer, the vast lotus ponds stretch as far as the eye can see, creating a breathtaking scene. The Lotus Grand View Garden offers a variety of lotus flowers, while the Gazi Village and the Wild Goose Team Memorial Hall in the Cultural Garden are educational and suitable for families with children. Boating on the water is a fantastic experience, and you can even spot water birds. Overall, it's a great short trip for those from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and I highly recommend visiting during the summer when the lotus flowers are in bloom for the best experience.

This road trip to Hebei included a special trip for the children to the Xiong'an Impression Exhibition Hall, allowing them to immerse themselves in understanding this city of the future. The exhibition hall is divided into three main areas: symbiosis, co-construction, and sharing. Naked-eye 3D light and shadow, AR interaction, and a huge city model vividly present Xiong'an's past, present, and future. The light and shadow painting of Baiyangdian Lake helped the children understand the original water town atmosphere of this land; the giant 3D sand table intuitively displayed the three cities above ground, underground, and in the clouds, captivating the children's attention. There were also digital cycling and interactive installations, offering educational experiences beyond dry text explanations. The only downside is that the first-floor exhibition hall is not large; the entire experience takes about thirty minutes.

It's worth a visit. Although the amusement park isn't large, it has a large number of small animals and a full range of rides, suitable for children of all ages. So, kids can easily spend a whole day playing there.

The environment was fantastic! We truly experienced the beauty of "lotus leaves stretching to the sky, an endless expanse of green; lotus blossoms blooming red under the sun." A gentle breeze and bright sunshine filled the air! The two elderly people had a wonderful time.

The Song-Liao Ancient Battle Road in Xiong County is an ancient building from the Song Dynasty. It was discovered when the locals were digging a well in 1964. This tunnel is divided into two parts: the Qigang Tunnel is located in the center of Qigang Village, Shuangtang Township, Xiong County; the Xingcun Datai Tunnel is located 200 meters south of Xing Village, Xiaobu Village Township, Xiong County. The Song-Liao Ancient Battle Road in Xiong County is an underground defense project secretly built by Yang Liulang, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, to resist the Liao army. It is now a national key cultural relic protection unit, showing the ancient military wisdom and engineering miracles.

The weather was fantastic this time climbing the Badaling Great Wall! The sky was clear and the temperature was perfect! The Great Wall truly deserves its reputation as a magnificent engineering feat; the saying "He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true man" proves the Great Wall's place in the hearts of the Chinese people!
