Things to do in Pingshan

The pool water was kept at a comfortable, constant temperature; after soaking, I felt completely relaxed, all fatigue gone. The privacy was excellent, and the experience was top-notch. Choosing such a wonderful place for my first relaxation of the Year of the Horse was perfect; I'll definitely come back! A healing paradise in winter! The steaming hot spring water is incredibly soothing, creating a fantastic atmosphere. It's perfect for taking photos or relaxing and unwinding—the pictures turn out amazing! Having fun and soaking comfortably—this is the right way to celebrate the New Year!

Tuoliang is located in Hehekou Township, Pingshan County, at the border of Hebei and Shanxi provinces, with its main peak reaching an altitude of 2,281 meters. It gets its name from the twin peaks at the summit that resemble the spine of a camel. The entire scenic area covers 22 square kilometers of pristine forest, renowned throughout North China for its five unique features: coolness, tranquility, wildness, seclusion, and verdant beauty. In Tuoliang, abundant mountain springs cascade down the valleys, forming nearly a hundred waterfalls that create a ten-mile-long water corridor, a verdant mountainside with countless waterfalls cascading down. The refreshing coolness that city air conditioning can't provide is readily available here: walking along the forest trails, the streams carry a refreshing coolness, and the mountain breeze carries the fragrance of grass, trees, and wildflowers; a deep breath dissipates the heat of the day.

Wuwushui is incredibly beautiful in winter, with various ice sculptures creating a vibrant, colorful spectacle at night. We even had some snowfall, which made for a wonderful time with the kids – a truly delightful experience! We stayed one night and returned the next day. The trip was relaxed and enjoyable, with no stress or fatigue. It was a great itinerary!

The cable car ride up and down was quite easy; walking around the top wasn't tiring at all. From the cable car station, I noticed the stairs looked incredibly long if you wanted to climb up yourself. Also, the middle station (the entrance to the slide) and the end station are on two different mountain peaks, requiring you to go up and down the stairs. The scenery at the summit was fantastic, with cliffs and precipices typical of the Taihang Mountains. To get to Wanfo Cave, you need to climb a short, rather steep staircase. The descent isn't far, but the drop is significant; some steps are as high as my calf. Wanfo Cave was cool and shrouded in mist. There are some shops on and at the foot of the mountain; bottled water is 2 yuan, very affordable. However, the KFC at the foot of the mountain wasn't open.

In addition to Sanqing Peak and Wanghai Peak in the main scenic area of ​​Tiangui Mountain, it is mainly distributed in the line of Shajiutuo-Cuiping Mountain-Caoduo Mountain and a series of ridges extending along the provincial boundary. Since the mountain is almost entirely composed of Cambrian and Ordovician limestone, it has formed a typical medium and low mountain karst landform in the middle section of Taihang Mountain. The types of surface karst landforms include stone buds (small stone forests), karst pits, small karst gullies, isolated peaks, stone piers, stone walls, stone pillars, peak clusters, natural bridges, gaps, etc. The underground karst landforms are mainly caves, and there are large caves of more than a thousand meters.

To be honest, I chose to visit Hongyagu after reading numerous positive reviews; the descriptions were all so perfect! However, once I arrived, it was nothing like that. I recommend taking the sightseeing bus immediately upon arrival. It's cheaper to take the bus round trip, and you can stop at various points to explore. A single bus ride costs 20 yuan, which isn't worthwhile. If you want to go to the glass walkway, you can take the cable car up the mountain, but it requires two rides and costs 50 yuan per ride! The cable car doesn't go directly to the glass walkway at the top! I didn't take the cable car and climbed up myself! It took me two hours, and once you reach the glass walkway, you can only walk to the end and then back; you can't go down to the other end! Walking on the glass walkway isn't really necessary unless you're curious and want to experience it. The worst part of the scenic area is the mountain path. The wooden plank paths, steps, and many of the planks on the viewing platforms are old and dilapidated. I suggest you be careful, as a fall can be quite painful! Going down the mountain is much easier, as going up is quite tiring. Overall, I felt it was just average compared to the scenic area itself. It wasn't as good as the descriptions suggested.

Seeing the comments about Mo Lai not having good physical strength, I didn't take it seriously and thought that my physical strength was good. It turned out that I had overestimated it. I did stop and walk a lot, otherwise it would be quite tiring. This place is located in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain and there are many legends. You can follow some tour groups and the guide will explain along the way.

Longquan Ancient Town is one of the most interesting ancient towns I've ever visited. Its charm rivals that of Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City in Hebei. However, the only downside is the sheer number of people. Definitely avoid visiting during holidays. It's not fun at all; the overwhelming crowds halve the enjoyment. Even the NPCs (players) are exhausted. But visiting during the off-season will definitely be much more enjoyable. Watch the classic shows and sample some local snacks. It will make your trip to Shijiazhuang even more magical.

This is a Buddhist holy site well worth visiting. The Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Buddha and the mural of the Reclining Guanyin are historical and artistic treasures that have been preserved intact for future generations to appreciate and understand history! An even greater gain was visiting the memorial hall of Mr. Liang Sicheng, where I learned about the contributions he and Lin Huiyin made to the preservation of historical sites in my country and their transmission in education, so that we, the later generations, can appreciate these historical sites!

Let me first check the treasures of Longxing Temple to make sure they're accurate before adding more words. Longxing Temple in Zhengding boasts six unique features, each considered the best in the country. First, the Mani Hall from the Song Dynasty, constructed without a single nail, is praised by Liang Sicheng as a unique example of ancient architecture in the world. Second, the Guanyin statue inside, seated backwards, with a beautiful face overlooking all beings, was praised by Lu Xun as an oriental goddess of beauty. Third, the Song Dynasty revolving sutra repository, the oldest existing one, can hold two tons of scriptures and can be turned by one person. Fourth, the Longzang Temple Stele from the Sui Dynasty, the ancestor of regular script and the first Sui Dynasty stele. Fifth, the over 20-meter-tall bronze Thousand-Hand Guanyin, the tallest ancient bronze statue. Sixth, the Ming Dynasty bronze Vairocana Buddha. With all six wonders combined, it's well worth a special trip.
