Things to do in Jianping

The ruins park is very large, and you need to take a scenic bus to visit the four exhibition halls. The exhibitions and ruins tell and show the glory of the ancient civilization. The exquisite jade, altars, temples and tombs from 5,000 years ago have a profound impact on later generations. There are currently scheduled buses from Jianping Station to the city, but there are not many buses. It costs 30 yuan to take a taxi from the city. The transportation is indeed not very convenient, and there are not many tourists. You need to ask and confirm locally during non-holidays and off-seasons. Personally, I think: Friends who like ancient monuments and history, it is worth visiting this ruins and museum.

A large number of jade articles were unearthed at the Niuheliang Hongshan Culture Site. The Niuheliang people believed that jade could communicate with the gods. In the vast stone mounds here, the changes in the specifications of jade articles buried with the dead are mainly reflected in the custom of "burying only with jade".

Can I skip the electric shuttle bus at Niuheliang Archaeological Site Park? The Niuheliang National Archaeological Site Park has three main attractions: the Site 1 (Goddess Temple) Protection and Exhibition Hall, the Site 2 (Stone Mounds and Altar) Protection and Exhibition Hall, and the Niuheliang Site Museum. The normal route is to drive into the park through the main gate, park in the parking lot (10 yuan per car, unlimited time), then take the electric shuttle bus to the museum, then to Site 2, and finally to the Goddess Temple. After the museum visit, take the shuttle bus back to the parking lot and drive away. The shuttle bus costs 20 yuan for one loop. All online guides recommend buying the shuttle bus ticket because walking is too far. Indeed, walking the entire loop is about six kilometers, and considering the walking within the museum, it's a lot of exercise for a day, which might be too strenuous for the average tourist. However, there's a small design flaw in Niuheliang Archaeological Site Park: its attractions are not concentrated in one area but are instead traversed by National Highway G101. We all know that national highways cannot be closed arbitrarily, which provides us with convenience. My method is to purchase tickets online and then be directed to the Second Site Protection Exhibition Hall for entry. Note that there is no public parking at the Second Site, but you can park on the roadside (as shown in the first picture) and walk into the park. The ticket checkpoint is only 200 meters from the exhibition hall. Don't worry, although it's a national highway, as a small county under Chaoyang's jurisdiction, there aren't many passing vehicles or traffic police, so safety isn't an issue. After the visit, return to your parking spot. There's a small slope across the road; walk up to the Goddess Temple. This walk takes about ten minutes. After visiting the Goddess Temple, navigate to the Niuheliang Site Museum, park in the park's parking lot, and walk to the museum. Avoid taking the electric shuttle bus route. There's a small path to the left of the visitor center; cross the garden and go up. The whole journey takes about seven or eight minutes. Of course, you can also walk backwards, visiting the museum first and then driving to the Second Site for parking and sightseeing; both are perfectly acceptable. If you're traveling alone, taking an electric scooter is definitely worthwhile. It only costs twenty yuan, and if you have the whole family, you can save that money and have a nice meal in Chaoyang. Sharing this with friends who might need it.

A great experience! I'll definitely go up to Simendong next time. Beautiful scenery and a very easy hiking route. Jianping has beautiful scenery. Afterwards, you can also visit the Xiaopingfang Scenic Area.

The Yan Great Wall of the Warring States Period is the earliest Great Wall ruins. There is no complete wall, but rows of broken rocks and low stone piles.

The museum houses cultural relics and treasures that have been preserved from the local ancient culture.

Awesome. Get there at 7:30am no crowds as the buses don’t show up until 9-9:30 am

Suitable for family walks, outings, and leisurely strolls. It was a bit hot during August, the summer peak season; the evenings were cool, but the days were still very sunny and hot. The scenery was beautiful, but it was very crowded, as it's a famous tourist attraction.

This grassland is highly recommended. We visited in autumn, and although it wasn't as golden, it's still worth a second visit. The grassland in spring is much greener, stretching as far as the eye can see like an oasis. While the birch forests are beautiful from afar, up close they're covered in horse manure—black and polluting, making the grassland smell and the experience unpleasant for tourists, completely masking the earthy aroma. We suggest that the horse owners pick up the manure to give tourists a better impression. Overall, it's a very beautiful environment and worth visiting. Be prepared for the cold; it gets just as cold, or even colder, at night.

If we're talking about the most famous attraction in Changli County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, it has to be the Aranya Community. Originally a real estate development project intended as a community, it has now transformed into a popular tourist destination. This is because the unique atmosphere created by the cultural heritage and neighborly relations within the Aranya Community makes both residents and visitors feel comfortable. Due to the success of the Aranya project, it's now undoubtedly Changli's must-visit spot for social media check-ins, and it's definitely worth a visit.
