Personnel: husband and wife

Expenses: 1230 yuan per person


Fast forward to October 2018, for this travel note, I am not reconciled to giving up, it is very difficult to continue, and it has been delayed until now. After two years, I made up my mind to finish my travel notes.


Search for attractions in the provinces surrounding Tianjin in the guide, and discover the historic city of Zhengding. After browsing the travel notes of netizens, I feel that this place is worth visiting. To this day, we also have a good impression of Zhengding.


Zhengding is now a county under the jurisdiction of Shijiazhuang, and historically it was a town as famous as Baoding in Beijing.

In 1907, the first railway-highway overpass "Dashi Bridge" across the Jinghan Railway and Zhengtai Railway was completed in Hebei Province; in order to avoid building a bridge on the Hutuo River, the Zhengtai Railway connected the Jinghan Railway in Shijiazhuang, and the starting point of the Zhengtai Railway was Zhengding It was changed to Shijiazhuang, and Shijiazhuang became the intersection of the two railways, and gradually became a traffic artery and a commodity distribution center.

The construction of the railway has reversed the urban status of Zhengding and Shijiazhuang.



The 5-day National Day tour meets my requirements for vacation, with great rewards, relatively few tourists, and sufficient time.

Summary of travel experience:

1. I read the travel notes of netizens before. I usually take a train from Shijiazhuang to Zhengding. When I booked a ticket at 12306, I found that there is a direct train with hard seats. It takes 5.5 hours and the price is 53.5 yuan.

2. I am very satisfied with the hotels I chose this time. I stayed at Zhengding Langhua International Hotel for three nights. I rested at the hotel every morning and started going out at noon. I stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Shijiazhuang. Four nights stay with breakfast included.

3. I read the travel notes before as a strategy. I knew there were four towers, but I didn't remember them. Seeing is believing this time, and now I am writing my travel notes, and I can still see the impressive Hua Pagoda and Sumeru Pagoda.

4. Visit Mr. Liang Sicheng's exhibition at Zhengding Longxing Temple. In the following travel notes, we will compare the black and white photos taken by Mr. Liang with the current buildings.

5. The itinerary is extremely loose. One day is enough to visit one temple and four pagodas normally.

6. The photos are not well taken, the actual scenic spots are better than the photos.



October 2

Tianjin-Zhengding, 9:48-15:30, arrive at Zhengding Railway Station. Walk to the hotel, the hotel is next to Beiguo Mall and Beiguo Supermarket, familiar with the surrounding environment, cooked food bought from the supermarket for dinner.

October 3

At noon, Didi took a taxi and went straight to Changle Gate, the south gate. The minimum consumption of Didi is 8 yuan, and there are 4 yuan coupons every day during the National Day, and the actual payment is 4 yuan.

There are very few tourists in Changle Gate

Going around outside the city, it turned out that Changle Gate was being renovated. Judging from the on-site construction, the completed city gate is very large. (should be finished by now)


Walk along Yanzhao South Street to Guanghui Temple, and buy a combined ticket of 65 yuan per person.

Scan the QR code at the door, and there is an APP explaining the attractions.



The only preserved building in Guanghui Temple is Huata.

The Huata seen outside the temple, the wires steal the spotlight.

The second stop is Linji Temple. Linji Temple is a temple with incense and does not charge tickets.

The next stop is the nearby Kaiyuan Temple. Listening to the name is the style of the Tang Dynasty.

Kaiyuan Temple retains several buildings.

Coming out of Kaiyuan Temple, the well-received Li Ji He He that I found earlier, I couldn’t find it on the Baidu map! Or ask the traffic police at the intersection to get help, in fact, it is nearby. Strolling back to the hotel after dinner, passing through Yucai Road on the way back, I encountered the County Confucian Temple in the dark, which was a pleasant surprise.



October 4

Arrive at Longxing Temple at noon

Longxing Temple is the focus of this trip. Just write it down.

What left a deep impression on me was the colorful hanging sculpture of Guanyin sitting upside down, which was much more shocking than the photos.


Greening is distinctive

There are many other buildings and scenery, there are no suitable photos, so I won’t repeat them.



From Longxing Temple, walk to Tianning Temple

Go to Shijiazhuang today, October 5

Passing the Hutuo River by bus.

At that time, Metro Line 1 was under construction, and we chose a hotel next to Hebei Museum, so we didn't have to cross the road.

After checking in, I first went for a walk in the museum.



I saw the exhibition on the first floor


October 6 Museum

Today I officially started to visit the museum, deposit bags, rent electronic guides, and start to look at it from far to near in chronological order, and only saw the second and third floors.
