    Wanlong is also renowned in northern China. Its abundant number of slopes, impressive lengths and elevation differences, and impressive snow quality have made it a synonym for professional skiing. The resort is large, the cable cars are fast, and the crowds are quite high. It's suitable for beginners and above, with a wide selection of restaurants and comprehensive facilities. The only drawback is the high prices.

    Taiwu Town is a great place to visit, with beautiful scenery and a wide variety of attractions. It is cool and comfortable in summer, making it the perfect place to escape the heat and have a vacation. You can take a cable car up the mountain, which is comfortable and offers a wide view. Getting on and off the cable car is convenient and safe.

    Come on New Year's Day and take a picture of the Yuan egg on the top of the mountain. The 9 advanced trails are skiable enough. I recommend Dandelion and Wild Rose, which have long snow trails. There are few people on the cable car No. 6, and it is just right to get on the cable car when you get down from Wild Rose. All the facilities are good, but the food is a bit poor.

    Fulong Ski Resort is the ski resort I have visited the most this year. It is actually very suitable for beginners to learn skiing. It has many tracks that are not difficult, and there is also a slightly shaky slope coming down from the top of the mountain.

    The most noteworthy feature of Dajingmen Gate is the four powerful characters "大好河山" (Great Rivers and Mountains) on the lintel, inscribed by Gao Weiyue, the military governor of Chahar, in 1927. Climbing the gate tower offers panoramic views of Zhangjiakou city and allows one to experience the imposing grandeur of a fortified pass. Photography Spots: Sunrise: Check the sunrise time in advance and take silhouette photos under the gate while wearing Hanfu or Ming Dynasty clothing for an exceptional atmosphere. Evening: As the sun sets, the golden sunlight bathes the gate tower, creating a spectacular scene and making it the golden time for photography. After the City Wall is Illuminated: At night, the city wall is illuminated, making the red walls particularly striking, attracting more people and creating a lively atmosphere. Surrounding Area: Xigou, outside the gate, is a Hui Muslim community. Stroll through the old streets and experience the local customs. The pedestrian street below the city wall is free and open to the public.

    Mei Jie's 71st day of traveling in China, Zhangjiakou Zhangbei Bashang Grassland Heavenly Road At the junction of Zhangbei County and Chongli District in Zhangjiakou, there is a winding asphalt road of more than 100 kilometers. It stretches across the mountains with the ups and downs of the mountains. The scenery on both sides of the road is beautiful, with rivers, mountains, meadows and terraces, like a hundred-mile painting! The blue sky connects with it, and the white clouds echo with it, just like walking on the road to heaven! The most suitable season for Bashang Grassland is from the end of June to the end of September. The air on the grassland is pure, there is little pollution, and it is also cool in summer. I was unlucky today. It was raining intermittently on Bashang. The sky was always overcast, and occasionally the sun poured down through the clouds, which was a different taste. I still felt cool wearing long sleeves, it is worthy of being a summer resort~

    Jimingyi Ancient City, the most complete Ming Dynasty postal and railway complex in China, has received mixed reviews. Pros: The towering city walls are accessible for climbing, and the ancient temples, post stations, and headquarters bear a rich history. The former residence of Empress Dowager Cixi during her escape to the West and a filming location for the film "A Chinese Odyssey" add to the storytelling. The exhibition hall is well-documented and suitable for history buffs. Tickets are 40 yuan (35 yuan online), with free parking, making it a reasonable value. Controversial Points: Some visitors find the attractions scattered and under-commercialized, and the scenes of local life (laundry hanging out to dry, children playing) slightly clash with the ancient atmosphere. The surrounding area is severely desertified, and the natural landscape is rather desolate. While Jiming Mountain offers distant views, the mountain path is difficult to navigate. Suitable for: Those interested in ancient post stations and military defense systems; families with children (who can experience the ancient architecture and learn about history); and art enthusiasts (who appreciate the cobblestone paths, mottled walls, and sunset silhouettes).

    The tree flower beating in Nuanquan Ancient Town, Wei County, is a non-legacy project. It is a great experience. It is only available on weekends. It is said that this master has been passed down for 12 generations. It is really wonderful. The whole performance is about 50 minutes, with singing and dancing and homestay display in the middle.
