- 铮宝麻麻:“Tianhe Mountain, shrouded in mist, hides a paradise on earth. Verdant hills are picturesque, and gurgling streams compose a natural symphony. Stroll through the woods, breathing in the fragrance of plants and trees, each step akin to a poem. From the summit, gaze out over the rolling sea of clouds, a paradise within reach. This is a spiritual haven, offering a long-lost tranquility to busy city dwellers. Come to Tianhe Mountain, converse with the mountains and rivers, and let your soul be enchanted by nature.”

M50***41:“Tianti Mountain is a very simple scenic spot. It is very easy to go up and down the mountain. Because I bought a package ticket and came early, there were few people. After entering the door, take a boat to visit Jinshui Cave, which is mainly stalactites. The stairs inside are quite thrilling, and only one person can pass through. Not far after coming out is the conveyor belt up the mountain. The service staff has a very good attitude. After reaching the mountain, you need to climb many steps, and you don’t know how many steps you need to climb. Because you haven’t exercised for a long time, you feel really tired. At the end of the steps is a popular check-in point, a small bridge. (It is recommended to pull the lens from near to far, and then one person takes pictures here, and the other person goes to the bridge) After coming out, it is the glass plank road. If you want to continue climbing the mountain, return from the glass plank road and continue climbing. We didn’t climb, so we took the slide down the mountain after walking down the glass plank road. Children’s Park: Because of the package ticket, we drove to the children’s park after going down the mountain. The children are very happy. Parents rest and children play wildly. You can also camp and eat next to it. Don’t walk past the scenic spot, it’s a bit far. Choose a package with your children so you don’t have to climb the mountain all the time”
Open tomorrow at 08:00-18:00(Tickets available until 17:00; admission ends at 17:00)
最美的一点:“After entering from the gate, walk straight ahead to the end and arrive at the Mushroom Park. There are many colorful mushrooms in the Mushroom Park, which is suitable for taking photos and resting to eat and replenish your energy.
3️⃣ Come out of the Mushroom Park and climb up the steps, which takes about half an hour. You can choose to take the cable car, but there is an additional charge. Along the way, you can see strange stones and various plants, which make people feel like they are in nature. There are many viewing platforms where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax.
4️⃣ When you see a fork in the road, be sure to go to the left. The right is the road to the top of the mountain, and the left is the real mountaineering road. The next step will be a difficult journey. The mountain road is rugged and the slope is steep. It takes time and effort to reach the top. Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the surroundings, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable”
Open tomorrow at 08:00-17:30(Tickets available until 17:30)
M30***02:“It's worth going, and the ticket price is worth it. It's a place with a good view. It's just that it's more convenient to drive by yourself. There are several secret passages in the cave, which are worth exploring. The management is just average, and there's no need to listen to the tour guide's explanation.”
水漫三楼:“Bian Que Temple, also known as Bian Que Shrine, is located in Neiqiu County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province. It was first built in the Warring States Period and has been repaired throughout the dynasties. It is an ancient building complex for worshiping and paying homage to Bian Que, the ancestor of Chinese medicine. Bian Que Temple is the oldest, largest and most well-preserved group of temples dedicated to Bian Que in China. The temple has towering ancient cypresses, scattered buildings and numerous steles. Among them, Bian Que Hall, Bian Que Tomb, Touling Stele, Huisheng Bridge, Nine Dragon Cypress, Ancient Stele Corridor, Sanqing Hall and Han Dynasty mythical beasts are the eight major landscapes of Bian Que Temple. Bian Que Temple was listed in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units in 2006. Bian Que was named "Shenying King" by Song Renzong Zhao Zhen in recognition of his worship of the ancestor of medicine, which brought relief to the emperor's condition. After Bian Que was unfortunately killed in the Qin State, his disciples and the people of Queshan risked their lives to steal his head and buried it at the foot of Queshan.”
Open tomorrow at 09:30-18:00(Tickets available until 17:30; admission ends at 17:30)
可乐的小黑猫:“Walking into Xingtai Ocean Park, it feels like being in a dreamy ocean world. It brings together marine life from all over the world, including cute penguins, elegant green turtles, smart dolphins, and various rare fish. In the tropical rainforest secrets on the third floor of the Ocean Kingdom, the misty garden, the sky rainforest tree house and other areas make people feel like they have walked into a magical natural secret.
The most memorable thing is the wonderful performance. Under the guidance of the trainer, the dolphins jumped out of the water and performed various difficult movements, which attracted applause from the audience. There are also immersive performances such as "Love of Mountains and Seas" and "Legend of Mermaid". The use of sound, light and electricity technology makes people feel as if they are on the scene. In addition, high-tech interactive projects such as the mysterious cosmic ball with a diameter of 2 meters allow people to feel the wonderful combination of the vast universe and the underwater world.”
Open tomorrow at 11:00-15:00(Tickets available until 15:00; admission ends at 15:00)
可乐的小黑猫:“In the hot summer, come to Xingtai Canyon Rafting to start a cool journey. Located in Xindu District, Xingtai City, the river is 8.8 kilometers long, with a drop of 122 meters and a rafting time of 2-3 hours. Get on a rubber boat and go downstream, sometimes crossing rapids and dangerous shoals, sometimes drifting through gentle waters, splashing water and laughing. Along the way, you can also enjoy the magnificent scenery of Taihang Mountain, with green mountains on both sides and deep canyons, as if you are in a natural oxygen bar. After the rafting, the scenic area provides hot showers and free ginger soup, which is considerate and thoughtful.”
Open tomorrow at 08:00-17:30 (admission ends at 17:00)
最美的一点:“Hutian Wonderland: The landform here is divided into four layers from bottom to top, namely Lower Hutian, Middle Hutian, Upper Hutian and Tianwaitian. Entering the scenic area is like entering a big-bellied teapot, with steep mountains on all sides and only a round sky above the head. It is mysterious and unpredictable, so it is called "Hutian Wonderland".”
水漫三楼:“The Kaiyuan Ancient Temple in Xingtai is divided into the East Temple and the West Temple. The East Temple is a formal ancient temple and is one of the sixth batch of key cultural relics protection units in the country. The West Temple looks larger in scale, but it is a brand new temple and is very popular. In the "Shengshi Kaiyuan" Ancient Temple (commonly known as Dongda Temple), a royal temple in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there are two ancient sutra pillars. One is the Tang Sixteen-sided Dharani Sutra Pillar, which looks like a cylinder, but is actually a sixteen-sided stone pillar with a circle of Buddha sitting on the top of the pillar. The second is the Dharani Sutra Pillar of the Later Liang Dynasty. The top layer is missing, and the remaining part is top-heavy. On the eight-sided garland curtain, there are high reliefs of a group of Manjusri, Samantabhadra and standing Buddha figures, totaling eight. The third hall, the Sakyamuni Hall, is the architectural essence of the entire Kaiyuan Temple. In the thirteenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, four carved dragon stone pillars were added in front of the hall. Except for the carved dragon stone pillars in the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong, it is almost unmatched. The dragons on the pillars are either circling upwards, winding down, or looking back, and the dragon heads and bodies are 20-35 cm outside the pillars, with a strong sense of power, just like a real dragon swimming and dancing. There is also a giant iron bell from the Jin Dynasty in front of the three halls, which is half a foot thick and weighs more than 30,000 kilograms. The stele forest in the backyard is currently closed, so I can't appreciate it.”
Open tomorrow at 09:00-17:00 (admission ends at 16:30)
水漫三楼:“Xingtai City ranks in the middle among all prefecture-level cities in Hebei Province in terms of GDP. Xingtai has a long history. Xing is the oldest place name in Xingtai. It is also called "well" in oracle bone inscriptions. The "well" logo can be seen everywhere in the Xingtai Museum, and there is also a big "well" on the floor of the elevator car. In the Xia Dynasty, Yu ruled the nine states, and Xing belonged to Jizhou. In the Shang Dynasty, Xinghou was named one of the three dukes, and in the Zhou Dynasty, the fourth son of Zhou Gongdan was named Xinghou. In Xingtai's vast history, there are more than 200 idioms and allusions related to war celebrities, which is an important cultural heritage. In addition to the bronzes of the pre-Qin period, Xingdi also has the famous Xing kiln, which is an important kiln distribution area in northern China, and has unearthed a very rich number of fine Xing kiln porcelains. Lincheng County, which is under the jurisdiction of Xingtai City, is also competing with Zhengding County, which is under the jurisdiction of Shijiazhuang City, for the identity of "the hometown of Zhao Yun, the Marquis of Shunping in the Han Dynasty". In addition to Handan, Xingtai is also a highlight ancient city that cannot be missed in the colorful history of Yanzhao. The Xingtai Museum is located just across the road from the Xingtai Kaiyuan Ancient Temple, making it very convenient for visiting.”

Abnos:“The only hotel to stay at when in the city. About 25 minute drive from the train station. Restaurants, bakery and retail are three minute walk from the hotel.”
M36***59:“Xiabu Xiabu is my favorite among all the hotpot restaurants I have ever eaten. The dishes are very fresh, the mutton is very authentic, and the taste of mutton will linger in your mouth after eating. The beef is also very thick and fresh, and it is not assembled meat. The environment is also quiet, the service is not bad, and the overall price-performance ratio is good. It is worth recommending!”
