Things to do in Yi County

I went during the day; it's very close from Yishui Lake. I imagine it'll be more lively at night, somewhat similar to Hetou Old Street in Tangshan, but not as bustling. It's still a good place for a stroll.

张洋导游讲解的非常好！All visitors should book the national Museum of China trip. It is not easy to book on your own, book through Trip.com and have a guide to share the history with you..

The Zijing Pass Great Wall is located on Zijing Ridge, 45 kilometers northwest of Yi County, Baoding City, Hebei Province. It is a wild Great Wall. The Zijing Pass at the foot of the mountain is mostly built during the Ming Dynasty. It consists of five small cities and is some distance away from the Great Wall.

1. Integration of historical culture and modern tourism: • Yandu Ancient City is located in Yi County, Hebei Province. It is a tourist resort integrating historical culture and modern tourism. The planning of the ancient city fully integrates the essence of Yan culture. With the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties as the main body, it has created a large-scale cultural tourism complex integrating tourism distribution, cultural leisure, ancient building expo, characteristic business and ecological vacation. 2. Rich historical relics and architectural art: • Yandu Ancient City not only carries a profound historical and cultural heritage, but also shows a unique architectural art charm. The landmark buildings such as the city wall, ancient street, and Babailou in the ancient city are all witnesses of history. Every brick and tile tells a thousand-year story. • The main architectural art style of Yandu Ancient City combines the two major factions of Beijing School and Hui School. The carved beams and painted buildings standing on the street are colorful and have great ornamental value. Whether it is the strong and picturesque Beijing-style architecture or the elegant and melodious Hui-style architecture, it makes people linger. 3. Diverse cultural activities and experiences: • There are cultural and art museums, ancient theaters and other places in the ancient city, which regularly hold various cultural activities and performances, such as Warring States songs and dances, traditional handicrafts displays, etc., so that tourists can have a deep understanding of the history and culture of Yan State while visiting. • Tourists can also experience traditional cultural activities in the ancient city, such as bonfire parties, dragon and lion dances, etc., and feel the strong cultural atmosphere. 4. Rich commercial streets and food experience: • There are rich commercial streets in the ancient city, such as tourist commodity street, calligraphy and painting street, Burmese jade street, antique street, tea street, etc., where tourists can buy various special commodities and handicrafts. • The snack street provides a wealth of local specialties, such as jar oven biscuits, Yixian lion head, Yixian pickled pork with preserved vegetables, etc., so that tourists can taste the food while also feeling the historical charm on the tip of their tongues. 5. Beautiful natural scenery and leisure places: • The ancient city of Yandu is built on the Yishui River, with beautiful green landscapes along the river, making it a good place for leisure and sightseeing. The Yishui Leisure and Sightseeing Belt integrates natural scenery with cultural landscapes, allowing visitors to relax physically and mentally while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

It's absolutely gorgeous inside! The scenery is stunning. The two of us walked around for four or five hours, and it was still very beautiful. The scenery inside is beautiful, but the temperature is quite low, so you'll need to bring extra clothes and some food. You'll need to drink water for four or five hours; you can't bring two bottles! The only downside is that it's not very cost-effective. Buying an adult ticket for 100 yuan is a bit expensive. If it were 70 or 80 yuan, I think it would be much more worthwhile. You can choose the 100 yuan option; it's definitely worth it.

Although a single tower has become an entire tourist attraction, you'll be constantly amazed as you walk around, and this amazement intensifies once you enter the tower's first floor. The wisdom of the ancients is truly remarkable…

It's a nice place. I thought it was a small park, but it turned out to be quite big, occupying a small hill. There are fitness equipment, pavilions, corridors and so on on the hill. On the top of the hill is the Jing Ke Pagoda and the Forest of Steles. You can spend two or three hours wandering around slowly. The key is that it's free and no one cares if you park on the roadside at the door.

The largest urban park within Beijing's Fourth Ring Road, it's free and incredibly welcoming. With its vast lawns, expansive lake, and stunning European-style architecture and fairytale castle, it's perfect for photos. You can run, boat, take your kids, and visit exhibitions. It's comfortable year-round, and locals often come here to relax.

This is the most spectacular iron flower display I've ever seen! The program was diverse and engaging, the host was witty, the audience interaction was lively, the iron flower workers were incredibly skilled, and the iron flowers were dazzling and colorful – the effect was absolutely stunning! Thumbs up! 👍👍👍

Shichahai (Qianhai + Houhai + Xihai), located at No. 49 Di'anmen West Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, is divided into three water areas: Qianhai, Houhai, and Xihai. The lakeside scenic area is free all day and requires no reservation. Three main areas: 1) Qianhai (Lively main scenic area, the top choice for watching the sunset) Yandai Xiejie: ​​A 232-meter-long century-old street with creative shops and snacks, leading directly to Yinding Bridge. Yinding Bridge: One of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Yanjing," Yinding Guanshan (Viewing the Mountains from Yinding Bridge), a good spot for sunset photography at Orange Sea in the evening, offering distant views of the Western Hills. Lotus Market: A pond full of lotus flowers in summer, offering opportunities for rowing boats and sightseeing boats. 2) Houhai (Bars + Hutongs, the heart of nightlife) Houhai Bar Street: A cluster of folk music bars, creating a vibrant atmosphere at night; avoid the expensive bars along the street and explore the deeper hutongs for better deals. Houhai North Bank: A quiet lakeside walking path, less crowded, suitable for strolling and taking photos, passing by Prince Chun's Mansion (the birthplace of Puyi). 3) Xihai (a local favorite, the least crowded) Xihai Wetland Park (free): reeds, wild ducks, lakeside boardwalk, a hidden gem in the bustling city, almost no tour groups, perfect for a quiet city walk.
