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.
