The Qingzhen South Mosque is located on Miaodi Street, a gathering place for Hui Muslims in the ancient city of Xuanhua. It is the oldest and largest mosque in the northern Yan region. Listed among the 100 famous mosques nationwide, it is also known as one of the three major northern mosques along with Beijing Niujie Mosque and Baotou Great Mosque, enjoying high influence and recognition. The Qingzhen South Mosque was founded in the first year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1403) by local Hui Muslim residents. In the 25th year of the Jiaqing reign (1820) of the Qing Dynasty, due to the long-standing tradition of the mosque and the desire to expand it, the community proposed and funded the relocation and reconstruction of the mosque on Miaodi Street. The relocated Qingzhen South Mosque is grand in scale, structurally complete, and exquisitely decorated. It consists of 15 main buildings covering more than 4,400 square meters. The architectural layout faces west to east, entering through a tall gate hall, crossing a stone arch bridge, passing the prayer call tower, ascending a corridor, climbing a moon platform, entering the main prayer hall, and extending to the moon-viewing tower, running through the entire mosque. On the north and south sides are lecture halls, cloisters, and auxiliary buildings arranged opposite each other. The ablution room for Muslims to wash before prayer is located on the south side of the main hall, an important facility in Islamic mosques. Additionally, there are archways, screen walls, and eight-character walls. The entire mosque is well laid out, with spacious courtyards, distinct interior and exterior areas, and a harmonious setting. The main prayer hall is where Muslims perform their prayers. It is tall and spacious, covering 662 square meters. The main hall has nine bays with a nine-ridge hip-and-gable roof structure. There is also a front hall with five bays and a rear hall with seven bays, connected to the main hall as a continuous structure with a gable roof. In the center of the rear hall stands a 17.6-meter-high octagonal moon-viewing tower, a landmark building of the mosque with flying eaves and upturned corners. The entire building is adorned with intricate floral carvings in a unique local style. The Islamic calligraphy wooden carved windows are not only exquisite but also vivid, conveying a strong religious atmosphere that evokes a sense of solemnity and reverence within the mosque. As a carrier of Islamic culture, Qingzhen South Mosque holds rich connotations, giving it high historical research value. As a model of ancient architecture, its elegant form and ingenious structure provide significant scientific research value. As an architectural art style, the extensive use of unique wood carvings, brick carvings, stone carvings, and decorative components endows it with high artistic appreciation value. From any perspective, Qingzhen South Mosque is a masterpiece of ancient architecture, fully demonstrating the high wisdom and creative talent of the ancient Islamic people in architectural art. After more than 600 years of weathering, the Qingzhen South Mosque had fallen into serious disrepair. In recent years, to protect this precious historical and cultural heritage and meet the urgent wishes of the Muslim community, from 2004 to 2006, funds were raised through government assistance, social sponsorships, and active donations from Muslims. A comprehensive restoration of the mosque was carried out. Restoring this mosque is the shared wish of all Muslims. With strong support from the local government, all sectors of society, cultural relics departments, and the Muslim community, the Qingzhen South Mosque now stands more magnificent than ever in the ancient city. It is a key cultural relic in Xuanhua District.

"Want to go here this weekend?" My friend called out to me. I had just finished my work, my mind still filled with reports and meetings, and I just wanted to find a place to catch my breath. Turning into the underground parking garage, I was immediately struck by the elegant lighting that stretched along the corridor, and the lush greenery on both sides. "This parking garage is even more sophisticated than the company lobby," he remarked. The service was even more impressive. The staff were exceptionally attentive, speaking little but always anticipating and attending to every detail. The high-end yet thoughtful experience was incredibly comfortable. Enjoying such comprehensive and meticulous service made it all worthwhile! I had only intended to escape the mundane aspects of work, but I was touched by every little detail from the parking garage to the clubhouse, and I was completely won over by this high-value, thoughtful service.

As the north wind rises and a chill permeates the streets and alleys of Cangzhou, finding a warm corner for a hearty gathering becomes the most delightful anticipation of winter. No need to venture into the mountains and forests; the Cangzhou Yading Hotel has prepared a cozy haven for you, inviting you to this warm and elegant winter gathering. A rustic charcoal stove, a few flickering sparks, and a pot of tea gradually warms under the gentle heat of the charcoal fire. The rising steam carries the rich aroma of the tea, filling your nostrils with joy. Sweet potatoes, chestnuts, oranges, and rice cakes are placed around the stove. The orange-yellow peels are slightly charred and wrinkled by the charcoal fire, releasing a sweet fragrance; the soft, powdery sweet potatoes gradually ooze their juices, the chestnuts crack open to reveal their golden flesh, and the rice cakes are baked to a perfect crisp on the outside and soft on the inside—every bite is a winter-exclusive sweet treat. Gather with a few close friends or family, sit around the stove, let the charcoal warm your hands, and listen to the bubbling tea. In casual conversation, chat about everyday life, share anecdotes, or quietly admire the winter scenery outside the window, letting time flow gently amidst the aroma of tea and laughter.
