Going in August or September is not late, but if you don't go now, it really will be! (Traveling off-peak is truly the best)✌️
📍Location: Taiwu Town, Chongli District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province
🚥Transportation
🚝High-speed rail: Get off at Taizicheng Station from Beijing North Station/Qinghe Station (remember to find the free shuttle bus after exiting!)
🚗Self-driving: About 3 hours from Beijing, just navigate to [Taiwu Town Paston Hotel]
🏨Accommodation recommendation:
We stayed at the Paston Hotel, which has its own underground parking lot with plenty of convenient spaces. The decor is very American style, with a fake little fireplace, the bathroom has a dry and wet separation, and it is fully equipped with a washer and dryer. Breakfast is both Chinese and Western style, satisfying different guests' tastes. There are indoor and outdoor hot springs on site, perfect for relaxing after coming down the mountain. Although there is no air conditioning in the room, it’s completely unnecessary; you even need a quilt at night!
📷Photo tips:
The cable car 🚠 has two sections, get off halfway up the mountain. Photo spots: big headphones 🎧, freedom signboard, THAIWOO white logo, close-up cable car shots, and photos with some landmarks. You can spend quite some time here taking photos, it’s super photogenic!!✨
⛰️At the mountain top, you can see the altitude check-in spot. Many girls take photos on the lawn here! Remember to prepare your grassland photo poses in advance!
🎡About activities:
Mountain biking, off-road vehicles, horseback riding, archery, golf, mountain grass skiing, feeding small animals, and more. Highly recommend Taiwu Night, the iron flower show is incredibly thrilling. But note that it gets a bit chilly at night, so wear a jacket 🧥 and long pants 👖
🍱Food recommendation:
We ate at the hotel restaurant called "Wei" All-day Dining, located on the first floor of the hotel. Highly recommend the grilled fish; its flavor is amazing! The fish is tender and juicy with a delicate texture. The seasoning is rich and mellow, perfectly blending with the fish’s freshness. The grilling is perfectly done, with a golden crispy skin while the inside remains tender. The side dishes are also very fresh and varied, adding more texture and flavor to the grilled fish. Strongly recommended❗️❗️
🔔Tips
Taiwu is even cooler after the start of autumn, with a big temperature difference between morning and evening. Remember to bring a jacket 🧥 and long pants 👖
🎯 The off-peak travel bonus period has arrived! The summer crowds are about to disperse, now is the perfect time! Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and an excellent experience!
