Menggezoubianzhongguosuoyoudexian: How to evaluate this hotel? It's rough leaves. Rooms, beds, bedding, sofas, chairs, etc. are all good, they are running to a comfortable hotel, and even more than many comfortable hotels. But its details are very bad, especially the bathroom is very bad. When I took a shower, I didn't even have a soap floor. Toilet paper was placed in a plastic box and stuck to the wall. There are high steps in the bathroom and the floor. I am not an elder. I am very hard to come down and very slippery. It's a pity! ! ! There are parking spaces, and the whole building uses two elevators, which is very dirty. Suburban hotels are difficult to eat and shop, and the scenery outside the window is good.

Back from Xingtai, here’s some honest, no-nonsense advice
Xingtai is located in the southern part of Hebei Province, at the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains. It hides the 3,000-year-old cultural heritage of the ancient Xingzhou City on one side 🏯, and holds the magnificent scenery of Taihang canyons and karst caves on the other ⛰️. For this three-day trip, I mixed culture and nature, so I wasn't rushing or hiking all day, making the pace much more relaxed 🌿. Day 1 | City and ancient town tour ✨, focusing on cultural landmarks. Start the morning at the Xingtai Museum. Admission is free, but you need to book in advance. It’s closed on Mondays 📜. The museum is packed with highlights like Xing kiln white porcelain and Shang Dynasty artifacts; two hours is just right. A few minutes' walk away is the Great Kaiyuan Temple. It’s free and doesn't require a booking. With its Tang Dynasty temple, red walls, and ancient trees, the atmosphere is perfect—quiet and photogenic 🌳. Grab lunch in the old town alleys. In the afternoon, head to Dahequan Park. Admission is free, the lake water is clear, and you can visit the Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall inside. It’s very pleasant when the breeze blows. In the evening, head straight to Qingfeng Tower and Haonanguan Ancient Street. Both are free. Once it gets dark and the lights come on, the street food vibe is incredible 🏮. A small gripe: the museum is closed on Mondays, and I almost made a wasted trip. The ancient street gets packed on holidays, so look for corners to avoid the crowds when taking photos. Day 2 | In-depth tour of Kongshan Baiyun Cave 🪨. Start early and head to the Kongshan Baiyun Cave in Lincheng. It’s a 5A-rated karst cave scenic area with an admission fee. The cave maintains a constant temperature of 17°C year-round, so be sure to bring a light jacket 🧥. Walking into the cave, you’ll see layers of stalactites. With the lighting, it feels like stepping into a fantasy underground world. The ground is very slippery, so definitely don't wear high heels. After exploring the cave, stop by the nearby Tianti Mountain. It’s not very high, and the boardwalks wind through the mountains, offering wide, open views from the top. Return to the city for the night; don't stay in the mountains. A quick note: tour groups flock to the cave, so go early to avoid the crowds. You cannot touch the stalactites inside, or you’ll be fined, so keep that in mind. Day 3 | Hiking at Tianhe Mountain (Love Mountain) 💞. This is the birthplace of the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. There is an admission fee. With mountain streams, waterfalls, the "Heart-Lock" boardwalk, and the 1314 Sky Ladder, it’s perfect for a slow hike and getting some fresh air 🌊. If you aren't very fit, you don't need to hike the whole way; the scenery halfway up is beautiful enough. Have a simple lunch of wild mountain vegetables at a farmhouse restaurant at the foot of the mountain. Head back to the city in the afternoon. If you have time, you can stroll through Yuan Street. It’s free, and the old alleys are full of local stalls where you can buy simple souvenirs to end your trip. To be honest, the mountain areas are far away, and the round-trip travel is tiring. Don't try to hit multiple deep-mountain attractions in one go, or you’ll easily burn out. 🏨 Accommodation advice: For both nights, just choose the Qingfeng Tower or Tianyi City business district in Xiangdu District. You can get a chain hotel for around 100-something yuan. There are restaurants and night markets right downstairs, and it’s convenient for traveling to and from the western mountain areas. Avoid the homestays at the foot of the scenic spots; most have old facilities, ridiculously high prices during holidays, and poor soundproofing, so you won't get a good rest 😮💨. 🚌 [Transportation guide]: For arrival, prioritize taking the high-speed rail to Xingtai East Station. Taxis and shared bikes are very convenient within the city. If you aren't driving, you can charter a car or carpool to the mountain attractions. Definitely don't get into unlicensed "black" cars on the side of the road, as they often overcharge. The distance between mountain attractions is far, and public transport is infrequent, so plan your time before you head out 🚗. 🍜 Local food, try it without hesitation. Weixian Huoshao (baked wheaten cake) has a crispy, flaky crust and savory meat filling—it crumbles with every bite 🥙; Xingtai Menbing (braised pancakes) features pancake strips soaked in broth, served with garlic and vinegar—a dream for carb lovers; Longyao Lamb Soup has a milky white broth with no gamey taste; it warms you up instantly. Also, try Lincheng Crispy Fish; the bones are so tender you can chew them right up, and it’s very flavorful. Try to go to old shops in the old town; the food at scenic area restaurants is average and overpriced. ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls. There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, so keep a light jacket and non-slip sneakers handy, and bring mosquito repellent. Don't buy local specialties at high prices at the entrance of scenic spots; the prices at city supermarkets are more reasonable. Don't hike on undeveloped trails alone in the mountains; safety first. Check the opening hours of attractions that require reservations in advance to avoid a wasted trip. This trip had the charm of an ancient city and the nature of the Taihang karst caves. There was no high-intensity rushing, allowing me to touch thousand-year-old history while immersing myself in the mountains. The pace was comfortable, and it’s worth planning a trip. Would you like me to help you check the high-speed rail schedules and ticket prices to Xingtai?
Back from Xingtai, and my perspective on spending has been completely upended
🏨 Let's talk honestly about accommodation 🙃. If you're coming to Xingtai in September, don't be naive and stay at the foot of the scenic mountains. Some homestays have outdated facilities, paper-thin soundproofing, and they hike up prices on weekends—staying there for a night is just pure misery. Staying in the city center is much more worry-free. If you want to explore the ancient city night markets, choose areas near Qingfeng Tower, Haonanguan, or Tianyicheng in Xiangdu District. You can snag a chain hotel for around 130–140, and it's great for walking to late-night snacks 🍢. For comfort, choose the area around Zhongbei Century City or Beiguo Mall in Xindu District. Lavande, Kangnian Fangya, and Xiyue Audio-Visual hotels are all there. For around 300, you can live like a pampered princess 🐷. The area around Dahuoquan is also a great choice; hotels like James Joyce Coffetel and Bali Island are quieter, perfect for a morning stroll to see the springs without rushing. Near the train station, Jinghua and Gude hotels range from a few dozen to just over 100—great for budget travelers, but don't expect floor-to-ceiling windows or giant projection screens 📺. When booking, check the ratings and "real room photos" directly on Trip.com. Don't trust photos with heavy filters to avoid a breakdown upon check-in. ⛰️ Plan your sightseeing based on your energy levels; don't cram 5 mountains into 1 day, or you'll really suffer. Start with the free city route: Visit the Xingtai Museum to see Xing kiln white porcelain and Shang-Zhou bronzes (book in advance, closed on Mondays); the red walls and ancient cypresses at Great Kaiyuan Temple are perfect for effortless photos 📸; Qingfeng Tower is stunning when lit up in the evening; and Dahuoquan Park is great for a quick visit to the Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall—you can act like a cultured intellectual without spending a dime. For the Taihang Mountain route, it depends on your preferences. Kongshan Baiyun Cave is in Lincheng, with a constant temperature of about 17°C inside. A joint ticket with Tiantai Mountain is around 110. If you find summer too hot, September is just right. However, it's slippery inside, so don't wear dress shoes, or you'll risk a disastrous fall 🩴. Xingtai Grand Canyon is in Luoluo, Xindu. Adult tickets are 40+, with small loop tickets at 98 and large loop tickets at 118. The red rock "Thread of Sky" is very photogenic, so set aside half a day for hiking and don't rush. Tianhe Mountain has a Cowherd and Weaver Girl theme. Adult tickets are 67–70, and concession tickets are 35. Lover's Valley and the Magpie Bridge are great for photos, but there are stairs the whole way, so don't push yourself if you don't exercise regularly. Zijin Mountain adult tickets are 59, and all-inclusive tickets are 119—great for hiking, playing in the water, or visiting historical sites. Jiulong Gorge is more relaxed, with adult tickets at 30+ and couple tickets at 80+. Yunmeng Mountain opens at 8:00 AM. It's worth visiting in autumn when the smoke trees turn red 🍁. Attractions in the mountains are spread out; if you aren't driving, check Trip.com for day tours or private car hires. Don't trust people soliciting business on the side of the road—it's just embarrassing. 🍜 To be honest, Xingtai is a double joy of carbs and meat. For breakfast, start with a donkey meat burger—crispy crust filled with tender donkey meat, paired with donkey offal soup. A set costs just over 10 yuan and will keep you full 🫓. Weixian ox tongue pastries are best fresh out of the oven; they get rock-hard when cold, so don't buy pre-made ones. Xingtai "menzi" (starch jelly) is soft, chewy, and savory; it's inexpensive at street stalls. At Heijia Dumpling Restaurant, try the lamb dumplings with garlic-fried fish—it's a time-honored brand with an average cost of 30+ per person. Since it's a halal restaurant, don't bring outside food 🥟. Longyao lamb soup with flatbread costs just over 10 yuan—a bowl in the morning will warm you to your toes. Neiqiu sauce-glazed meat is savory, slightly tangy, and goes great with rice. Try the Renxian stir-fried meat, Julu braised pancakes, and Nangong smoked dishes. After visiting the caves in Lincheng, you can grab some Zhaofu crispy fish. In the old city of Xindu, look for braised pancakes and potstickers—you can eat your fill for 20–30 per person. Take a walk through the Haonanguan night market and try the egg pockets, thin pancakes, and skewers. However, I don't recommend buying the packaged sour jujube juice or "specialty gift boxes" at the scenic area entrances; they're half the price at city supermarkets, so don't get ripped off 🥲. 💡 These tips are all hard-earned lessons. In September, there's a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, so a short-sleeve shirt with a light jacket is the safest bet. Bring an extra long-sleeve shirt for the caves, or you'll be crying after 2 hours in 17°C weather 🧥. Make sure to wear non-slip sneakers; the canyon trails have water and moss, and high heels are just a recipe for disaster. Try to visit the museum and Baiyun Cave early; once the tour groups arrive, all you'll see in your photos are heads, and you'll lose your mind. Don't try to cram Kongshan, the Grand Canyon, and Tianhe Mountain into the same day in the mountains. Each trip takes at least 1 hour, and rushing around is more tiring than working 🚗. Public transport in the city is 2–3 yuan. For the Taihang Mountains, I recommend driving yourself or booking a round trip on Trip.com. Don't take unlicensed taxis. If you have a student ID or teacher's certificate, check for same-day discounts first; some scenic areas have free admission policies in September, so save where you can. Don't feed any wild animals at scenic spots, and don't participate in so-called "pet photo ops." Being a civilized traveler is the most worry-free way to go 🐾. The overall pace should be 1 day for the city and 1 day for the Taihang Mountains. For lazy travelers, just visit the ancient city and 1 cave. You'll return without wrecked legs or a broken wallet—that's the right way to experience Xingtai in September ✨.

Spend 2–3 hours exploring. ⚠️ The ground in the cave is slippery, so be sure to wear non-slip shoes and bring a thin jacket. Do not touch the stalactites, as it will cause irreversible damage.

Board the high-speed train and reach Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing eras in 2 hours
Who would have thought! Still scrolling on your phone when you get on, stepping off straight into the past. Shaoxing, Chaozhou, and Xingtai—three cities where the old days are lived as everyday life. · -- 📍Shaoxing · As long as the water flows, the spirit remains While others visit attractions, here you live the life. Don’t take the main street of Cangqiao Straight Street. Turn into the narrow alleys nearby, where the scent of dried pickled vegetables drifts under the clotheslines. At East Lake, ride a foot-paddled black-awning boat. The boatman steers with his feet. When passing Xiantao Cave, look up—the cliff seems about to collapse. In the evening, visit the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy. Old men play chess by the ink pool. The Lantingji Xu on the wall was written by local residents themselves. Eat: At Ciwu, order noodles with pork cracklings. The noodles are chewy and springy. Bite into the warm cream-filled buns, sweet to the core. Note: Black-awning boats stop running at 4:30 PM, don’t arrive too late. The Sage of Calligraphy’s hometown is free and much quieter than Lu Xun’s hometown. · -- 📍Chaozhou · Fire that has never gone out for a thousand years The whole city feels like a living old kiln. Kaiyuan Temple opens at 6 AM. Join local grandmas for morning prayers. The incense mixed with wooden fish sounds is very calming. Don’t just stroll one section of West Horse Road. Walk to the end where the old oyster pancake shop fries fresh orders, and the ground fish powder is the soul of the dish. Watch the Guangji Bridge light show by the Han River at dusk, but it’s better to go early morning when the floating bridge in the mist looks like an ink painting. Eat: Rice rolls topped with peanut sauce and preserved radish bits—you won’t find this anywhere else. For duck mother dumplings, order the “soup money” style, sticky and coated with sugar powder. Note: Buy loose old medicinal tangerines, one of the “Three Treasures of Chaozhou,” on Paifang Street for the most authentic taste. Renting an electric scooter inside the old city is the most convenient, costing 30 yuan a day. · -- 📍Xingtai · Toughness that shines from the bone The Taihang Mountains give it backbone, the springs give it spirit. Dahuo Spring Park’s springs are flowing again. Locals bring buckets to collect water for tea. Qingfeng Tower lights up at dusk. Modern dance happens in the square in front. Inside the tower are Yuan dynasty murals, magical yet real. Head west to Qian Nanyu. The Anti-Japanese University museum is built on terraced fields, overlooking the Taihang ridges, inspiring a heroic spirit. Eat: Weixian fire-baked bread with meat filling has a crust so crispy it flakes. Guangzong thin pancakes rolled with scallion and egg fill you up for just 5 yuan at street stalls. Note: The mountain roads to Qian Nanyu are winding; drive slowly if self-driving. The city has wide coverage of shared electric bikes—just scan one to explore. · -- 🚄 Time check: These three cities aren’t directly connected by high-speed rail, but from their provincial capitals or nearby big cities, they’re all within about 2 hours. It’s best to focus on one city. Two days on a weekend is just right—don’t try to do too much at once. The old days won’t wait, but the high-speed train will. Let’s go. 🛤️

Noon: visit Qingfeng Building & Xingtai ancient city wall. Free, great for photos. Lunch: try a bowl of Xingtai big pot dish (recommended “Old City Big Pot” or roadside small restaurants, about 20–30 CNY per person, large portions and filling). Afternoon: walk to Kaiyuan Temple (free, a thousand-year-old temple, very peaceful), then visit Xingtai Museum (free, learn about the origin and culture of the character “Xing”). Dinner: head to Xingtai University night market or Tianyi City business district. Must-eats: fried cloth bag, Xingtai steamed pancake, grilled skewers, donkey meat sandwich. About 50 CNY per person to eat until full. Evening: take a walk along Qili River scenic area to aid digestion, the night view is very pleasant. 📅 Day 2: Taihang mountains & canyon adventure Theme: natural scenery + light hiking Morning: leave early, take a taxi or ride share to Yunmeng Mountain (about 1 hour by car, ticket + shuttle about 80 CNY). Known as the “Northern Jiuzhaigou,” many waterfalls, great for water play in summer. Lunch: farmhouse restaurant at the scenic area entrance, eat Taihang stewed native chicken and wild vegetable dumplings. About 50 CNY per person. Afternoon: continue exploring Yunmeng Mountain (Qiying Waterfall, Bailong Creek), those with good stamina can hike to the summit. Then visit Qian Nanyu (ecotourism area, ticket about 60 CNY) to experience “the greenest place in the Taihang Mountains.” Dinner: return to the city to eat Xingtai specialty—crispy fish (recommended “Xingtai Crispy Fish Restaurant” chain, fish bones are crispy and tender, perfect with beer). About 60 CNY per person.

Evening: take the high-speed train back, ending a comfortable and budget-friendly three days. 🧠 Blogger’s exclusive tips & bonus advice How to save on transportation? Xingtai bus is cheap (1 CNY), but attractions are scattered. It’s recommended to arrange ride shares in advance (Didi ride share or local taxi WeChat groups), which is half the cost of renting a car alone. If you skip Yunmeng Mountain and choose Tianhe Mountain (Love Mountain), it’s equally spectacular, ticket about 70 CNY. Accommodation pitfalls: Avoid staying near attractions (expensive and remote), stay near Xingtai train station or Tianyi Square, convenient for everywhere. Must-try food list: ✅ Xingtai steamed pancake (the most authentic local staple) ✅ Neiqiu noodles (great for breakfast, fresh soup and thin noodles) ✅ Weixian baked bread (more fragrant than donkey meat sandwich, 1.5 CNY each) ✅ Renxian old tofu (breakfast king) Avoid “wallet traps”: Many “wild mountain goods” in scenic areas are actually Yiwu small commodities, buy cautiously. Taxi doesn’t use the meter? Just say “charge according to Didi price.” 🎯 Summary: what quality experience can 2000 CNY buy? ✅ Culture: ancient city, ancient temple, ancient village ✔ ✅ Nature: canyon, waterfalls, green mountains ✔ ✅ Food: authentic without risk, different every meal ✔ ✅ Comfort: no rush, not budget travel, some extra money for fruit and snacks ✔ In short: Xingtai is a seriously underrated treasure small city. With a budget under 2000 CNY, you can fully enjoy it—see mountains and water by day, eat steamed pancakes and stroll night markets by night, and bring home a box of walnuts. If you’re coming from a farther city (like Shanghai or Guangzhou), plane or high-speed train tickets will take part of your budget. It’s recommended to extend to 4 days or reduce accommodation to hostels/shared guesthouses, still keeping around 2000 CNY.

If you want a less crowded, cool, budget-friendly, and healing short trip, I sincerely recommend Xingtai! You won’t regret it✨
What people are saying about Wei County
Mount Taishan
How about Mount Tai? The verdant peaks of Qi and Lu stretch endlessly! As the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains, Mount Tai's ticket price is quite reasonable. You can enter the mountain twice in three days. Hikers can ascend once via the Red Gate and once via the Eastern Imperial Road. At this time of year, a bed at the summit costs just over 100 yuan, which is acceptable. If you're lucky, you might see the sunrise!
旅行者太白Guangfu Ancient City
Guangfu Ancient City is a 5A scenic area in Handan, a rare combination of a water town, an ancient city, and a Tai Chi city in northern China. Entry is free, but separate tickets are required to climb the city walls, visit the government offices, and see the former residences. Key attractions: 1. Ming Dynasty City Wall: Well-preserved, offering panoramic views of the surrounding depressions and waterways, perfect for photos; the South Gate, Yanghe Gate, is a landmark photo spot. 2. Tai Chi Cultural Sites: The former residences of Yang Luchan and Wu Yuxiang, the birthplace of Yang and Wu styles of Tai Chi, where you can see late Qing Dynasty residences and inscriptions on Tai Chi theory. 3. Guangping Government Office: A Ming and Qing Dynasty government office complex, recreating the layout of an ancient government office; often featuring light shows and folk performances at night. 4. Night Cruise on the Moat: Enjoy a boat ride with a strong nighttime atmosphere; iron flower performances are also held on holidays.
火 火Millennium City Park
Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden is definitely worth a visit. It not only has beautiful photo spots but also many fun interactive games. The interactive games before the large-scale festivals, such as "Spear-wielding Little Liang King" and "Tokyo Defense Battle," are especially fun! Hahahaha.
Anonymous userJinci Temple Museum
I had low expectations for Jinci Temple in Taiyuan, but it was surprisingly stunning. The temple complex is divided into two parts: the scenic area and the museum, both of which were well worth the visit. Nanlao Spring is comparable to Baotu Spring in Jinan, and we happened to visit during one of its rare periods of high water flow.
Anonymous userWansuishan Martial Arts City
My second visit to Kaifeng fulfilled my dream of visiting Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City! The scenery perfectly recreated the martial arts world I envisioned, with meticulous attention to detail and everyone dressed in ancient costumes, creating a truly immersive experience. I collected silver tickets through interactive activities and redeemed them for a phone stand. The scenic area has expanded eastward this year and is constantly being updated. I look forward to my next visit to unlock even more new attractions, ensuring a constantly fresh experience.
SkylineSong Du Huangcheng Cultural Tourism Resort
It's very worthwhile, but it's also very crowded, which might slightly detract from the overall experience. However, the people are incredibly welcoming, and there are many beautiful spots for taking photos. The food is also affordable and inexpensive, which kids enjoy. I'll definitely go back when it's less crowded.
M55***20Baotu Spring
I had a little extra time in Jinan during my work trip, so I choose to visit Boutu Spring. At first I was curious why I need to pay such amount just to see the ‘springs’, but once I was inside, I understood why the locals were there, like so many of them… love the place and at least I get to experience some autumn vibe!
Nur AssyafaPingyao Ancient City
Visiting Pingyao Ancient City has always been a dream of mine, because it is the best-preserved ancient city in China and also the most distinctive. Tens of thousands of residents still live in the city today. The hard-working spirit of the people of Shanxi and their banks, which spread throughout the country, are a microcosm of the economy of Qing Dynasty China.
无锡易纯净化魏宏春Daming Lake Scenic Area
The hotel is very close to Baotu Spring Scenic Area, just 200 meters from the south gate, which is very convenient. Guests can also enjoy Baotu Spring water while staying at the hotel. It's also not too far to get to Daming Lake Scenic Area. The hotel service is excellent, very 👍.
E32***45Shanxi Museum
This was my first visit to the Shanxi Museum, and I was incredibly lucky to have this elderly male guide! His voice was deep and pleasant, and his storytelling was engaging and never boring. I especially loved his method: he first laid out the historical context, then guided us through the artifacts in detail, a gradual and immersive approach that made it easy to connect with the exhibits. He meticulously explained several of the museum's most prized possessions, bringing the history of Shanxi, a land of mountains and rivers, to life. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire visit. It wasn't just rote memorization of facts; the experience was fantastic. I highly recommend having such a wonderful guide when visiting a museum!
