Two-day self-driving tour in Baoding City, Hebei Province on May 22, 2021

Two-day self-driving tour in Baoding City, Hebei Province on May 22, 2021

At 6:40 am on May 22, 2021, our husband and wife set off from Tianjin on time and drove to Beiyue Temple, Quyang County, Baoding City, Hebei Province. We started to play at 10 o'clock. It took 1 hour to arrive at Yaoshan Wang's Manor in Shunping County. The whole manor is very nice, but unfortunately the manor is under repair and the Renhe Hall is not open. Since it was still early, we temporarily decided to go to Langya Mountain in Yixian County and arrived at Langya Mountain at 15:10. We took the cableway when we went up, 15 minutes, and then walked for 25 minutes to the top of the mountain. It took 1.5 hours to walk down the mountain from the top of the mountain without a break. Langya Mountain Scenic Area is a very mature scenic area. There are cableways up and down. If you want to walk, more than half of them are wooden plank roads. There are many farmhouses outside the scenic area where you can stay. There is a memorial hall and a karst cave in the scenic area. If you take the cableway up and down, you will not be able to visit the karst cave; there are many shops selling drinks, but the tickets are small, 80 yuan, 80 yuan for the whole cableway, and 45 yuan for a one-way trip. At 18:15 in the evening, I stayed in the farmyard outside the scenic spot, which was clean and hygienic. At 7:30 in the morning on May 23, we drove to the Qingxi Mausoleum in Yi County. At 9:20, I took the free bus in the scenic area and started to play, and the visit was completed at 14:20 in the afternoon, which lasted 5 hours. We took the free bus in the scenic area, first to Chongling, then to Changxi Mausoleum, Muling, and finally Tailing, and walked from Tailing to the comprehensive service center at the gate (about 30 minutes on foot). You can drive by yourself in the Qingxi Mausoleum, but there are many village residents in the whole scenic spot, the roads are narrow, and there are many intersections, so it is not recommended to drive by yourself. There is a free bus in the scenic area, which departs on time and on time, and the time required for everyone to visit is also reasonable. It can be said that it is very good to follow the bus throughout the journey. There is also an individual sightseeing car in the scenic area, which is 50 yuan per person for the whole journey, which is more expensive and not recommended. If there are many people, ask a guide, she can guide you to drive to various attractions. Tickets for a single scenic spot in the scenic area can only be used on the same day, if the joint ticket can be used within two days. 15;15 minutes drive to Sanyi Palace in Zhuozhou City and visit for 30 minutes. The entire scenic spot is relatively large and has a long history, which can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty. I drove home at 16:50 in the afternoon and arrived safely at 18:50. The whole journey was 630 kilometers.

The first day, Tianjin - Beiyue Temple in Quyang County - Wang's Manor in Yaoshan, Shunping County - Langya Mountain in Yi County, live in Langya Mountain Farmhouse in Yi County on the same day

On the second day, Langya Mountain in Yi County - Qingxi Tomb in Yi County - Sanyi Palace in Zhuozhou City - Tianjin

The following are the strategies I made before the trip, for reference only.

Located in Yixian County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, about 140 kilometers away from Beijing, the Qingxi Mausoleum is the mausoleum of the four emperors Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, as well as many concubines, elder brothers, and princes. The mausoleum architecture here is grand and majestic. The temples, Shinto, sculptures, etc. are magnificent or exquisite. The interior decoration of the mausoleum is also luxurious and rich. You can come here to visit and learn about the past history. In addition, a large number of pine trees are planted in the cemetery area, which has become a magnificent ancient pine forest with a quiet and simple environment.

There are many mausoleums in the Qingxi Mausoleum. At present, the four mausoleums worth seeing and open to visit are Tailing Mausoleum of Emperor Yongzheng, Muling Mausoleum of Emperor Daoguang, Chongling Mausoleum of Emperor Guangxu and Changxi Mausoleum of Empress Jiaqing. Yongfu Temple, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, is available for worship. There is no charge to watch the Shinto, the main hall and other buildings outside the mausoleum. Tickets are required to enter the palace. Each mausoleum and temple sells tickets separately. At the same time, there are joint tickets sold by scenic spots that can be used to visit all scenic spots within a day. Opening hours: April 1st-October 31st 08:00-17:30 (last admission 17:00); November 1st-March 31st of the following year 08:30-17:00 (stop ticket sales at 15:00) :30)

There are 14 mausoleums in the Western Qing Mausoleum, including Tai Mausoleum of Yongzheng, Chang Mausoleum of Jiaqing, Mu Mausoleum of Daoguang and Chong Mausoleum of Guangxu, and 3 rear mausoleums. In addition, there are 14 other mausoleums including King Huai's Mausoleum, Gongzhu Mausoleum, Age Mausoleum, and Prince Mausoleum. Its architectural form embodies the feudal rules and regulations. The emperor's mausoleum and the rear mausoleum are covered with yellow glazed tiles; The Western Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty covers an area of ​​more than 800 square kilometers, with a construction area of ​​more than 50,000 square meters. There are more than 1,000 palaces and more than 100 stone carvings and stone buildings. The architecture of the Western Qing Mausoleum is basically built in the same style as the mausoleums of the emperors and concubines of the Ming Dynasty. The overall scale is not as good as the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, only the Yongzheng Mausoleum has a large scale (with an echo wall). The other emperors belonged to the late Qing Dynasty, and their strength has not been as good as before. However, because of this, they have not been destroyed like the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty. It was stolen before, the underground palace was opened, and the others were not opened. The distance between the various mausoleums is relatively long. There are buses, and you can also drive by yourself. Self-driving parking is 10 yuan, and you only need to pay once. Please explain, 200 yuan once, the whole journey takes about 3 hours. I didn't know anything about parking for the first time. I parked directly at the parking lot at the entrance. I didn’t know until later that I could drive in. I just parked the car on the side of the road inside. The fee is the same as that of the parking lot at the entrance. You can just park there if you need an invoice.

Beginning in 2020, the Western Qing Mausoleum is being repaired, and the broadcast said that it is the largest repair since the founding of the People's Republic of China. According to the construction master, it is said that it will take four to five years to complete. After the epidemic, tickets have also been reduced by 120 to 90 yuan (including free buses, one stop and one stop to wait for the bus to get on and off freely), and you can also drive by yourself, but some roads are not allowed to go, so you have to make a detour.

Tailing Mausoleum is the earliest, largest and most complete imperial mausoleum in the Western Qing Mausoleum.

The entrance to the Tailing Mausoleum is in the middle, with the palace on one side and the Shinto on the other. You have to choose your own route. The main building of the Tailing Mausoleum starts from the flame archway at the southernmost end, crosses a five-hole stone arch bridge, and begins the longest 2.5-kilometer Tailing Divine Road in the Western Mausoleum (there is a tourist road leading to the mausoleum near the palace gate, so the Shinto path does not need to be fully walked) , along the Shen Road to the north to Baoding, there are stone archways, Dahongmen, Fufu hall, Dabeilou, Qikong bridge, Wangzhu, Shixiangsheng, Longfengmen, Sanlu Sankong bridge, posthumous stele pavilion, God's Kitchen, East-West Chaofang, East-West Class Room, Long'en Gate, Burning Silk Furnace, East-West Side Hall, Long'en Hall, Three Gates, Erzhu Gate, Stone Five Offerings, Fangcheng Minglou, Dumb Courtyard, Baoding and other buildings. The best way to visit Tailing Mausoleum is to start from the Dahongmen, walk through the Dabeilou, Longfengmen, etc., then check the ticket into the Longenmen, and finally go up to the Minglou Baoding, so that it is complete.

In 2000, Tailing was included in the "World Heritage List". There are many farmhouses near Tailing, and the prices are relatively affordable. A room is about tens of dollars, and you can stay or eat here.

Qing Tai Mausoleum is the joint burial mausoleum of Emperor Yongzheng and his empress. It is located at the foot of Yongning Mountain, 15 kilometers away from Yi County, at an altitude of 382 meters. It was built in 1730 (the eighth year of Yongzheng), covering an area of ​​8.47 hectares. Qingtai Mausoleum is the earliest, largest and most complete imperial mausoleum among the Western Qing Tombs. According to the precedent, Yongzheng's mausoleum should be built in Zunhua County, within the boundary of Qingdong Mausoleum, with his father Kangxi as his companion. Therefore, he once regarded Dongling Jiufeng Chaoyang Mountain as his auspicious place for thousands of years, but Yongzheng did not build a mausoleum there, but set up another mausoleum area in Yizhou. There are many opinions about this matter. One said that Yongzheng changed his tune and usurped the throne, and he was buried next to Kangxi's Jingling Mausoleum with a guilty conscience; This statement is inconsistent with historical facts. But why did he move the mausoleum? According to the "Engineering History Book", in order to abolish the Jiufeng Chaoyang Mausoleum site, he once preached: "This place is close to Xiaoling Mausoleum and Jingling Mausoleum, which is in line with my original intention and is proficient in geomantic people. In addition, I think that although the scale is large, the shape is not complete, and the people in the cave have sand and stones, so it is really unusable." Therefore, Prince Yunxiang of He Shuoyi and Governor of Liangjiang Gao Qizhuo were sent to choose another site for the mausoleum. Taiping Valley in Yizhou is considered to be "a place where heaven and earth gather together, a place where yin and yang meet, where the sand and stones in the dragon's cave are full of beauty, and the water law in the mountains is well-organized, and the situation is regulated. As a typical Qing-style palace-style building complex, it not only pays more attention to the Chinese "Fengshui" method that integrates the most perfect landscape environment and cultural landscape as the basis for site selection, but also forms mountain rivers as the backing and planning emphasized in "Fengshui". The buildings and the overall layout of the mountains, Zhaoshan, Dragon veins and Shuikou are also the most complete and ingenious, with more emphasis on practicality; the architectural style and regulations are more exquisite and luxurious, making them more ornamental.

In order to praise the merits of the land, there are also many breakthroughs and novelties in the construction of his mausoleum.

Beiyue Temple is located in Quyang County, Baoding City. It was the place where emperors of all dynasties worshiped Beiyue Hengshan from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Today's temple was first built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and has been repaired in various dynasties in history. The existing buildings are mainly in the Yuan Dynasty style, which is very old. The whole temple is simple and elegant. It is very good to visit historical sites, take pictures and learn about history.

The focus of visiting Beiyue Temple is the many stone stele carvings in the temple.

On the wall of Beishan Mountain is even more spectacular. It is said that it was painted by the painter Wu Daozi himself. You can take a good look at it. On the west side of the entrance of Beiyue Temple, there is also a Quyang County Museum, which displays some cultural relics of Quyang, mainly the famous Quyang stone carvings, which can be visited by the way.

Beiyue Temple was called Beiyue Temple in Han Dynasty, Beiyue Antianwang Temple in Tang Dynasty, Beiyue Antian Yuanshengdi Temple in Song Dynasty, and Beiyue Antian Dazhenyuan Shengdi Temple in Yuan Dynasty. Located at No. 2 Beiyue Road, Hengzhou Town, west of Quyang County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, it was built in the Southern and Northern Dynasties during the Jingming and Zhengshi years of the Northern Wei Dynasty (500-512), and before the 17th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1660).

Since ancient times, the Five Sacred Mountains have enjoyed a high reputation. Because of their legends, they are the residence of gods, and emperors of all dynasties often went to offer sacrifices to them. Located in the southwest corner of Quyang County, Hebei Province, Beiyue Temple was built for ancient emperors and generals to offer sacrifices to the "God of Beiyue Hengshan", hence the name Beiyue Temple. The scenery of Beiyue Temple in Quyang There is a museum in Beiyue Temple. There are couplets inscribed by famous calligraphers on the doorposts in the museum. Beiyue Temple is not only a scenic spot for offering sacrifices to the God of Beiyue Hengshan, but also a palace of culture and art with rich connotations. It integrates ancient architecture, painting, calligraphy, stone carving, Ding porcelain and other arts in one.

On the top of the west wall mural is Zhong Kui, who is said to be the authentic work of Wu Daozi and is known as "Quyang Ghost". Muscular and muscular, with a wind-like demeanor, a trace of unspeakable anger was revealed in his ferocious face. Two thousand years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to determine Damao Mountain in Baoding, Hebei Province as "Beiyue Hengshan". Since then, the Quyang Beiyue Temple, tens of kilometers away from Damao Mountain, began a grand sacrifice that lasted for 1,600 years. According to the historical records of the Song Dynasty, the temple fair at Beiyue Temple in Quyang was like thunder, and the incense was like clouds. During the 1,600-year period, the emperors of all dynasties came to worship the northern mountain Hengshan more than 300 times. It is hard to imagine how lively the hall, which is still the largest wooden building of the Yuan Dynasty in China and where the plaque of "The Palace of Dening" inscribed by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, was hung under the eaves. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the dynasty established its capital in Beijing, and the "Beiyue" located in the "south" of Beijing instantly became a "thorn in the eyes" of some people. They wrote to the court, requesting to change the ownership of Beiyue. Finally, during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor disregarded the tradition of "you can't change the mountain if you change it" in the past dynasties, and issued an edict to change the sacrifice to the North Mountain in Hunyuan, Shanxi, completely depriving Damao Mountain of Hebei from its 1,600-year-old orthodox status. After that, on Hunyuan Xuanwu Mountain, the Xuankong Temple built in the middle of the mountain was full of incense, and countless people went there admiringly to admire the rootless temple leaning on the mountainside.

Beiyue Temple in Quyang was built in the Jingming and Zhengshi years (500-508 AD) of Emperor Xuanwu of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit on February 23, 1982. The three wonders of Beiyue Temple: ancient architecture, stele carvings, and murals. The main building in the temple, the "Dening Hall", now retains most of the architectural style of the Yuan Dynasty. It was identified by the State Council as the largest ancient building among the wooden structures of the Yuan Dynasty in my country. On the east and west walls of the hall, there are huge murals "Tiangongtu" painted by Wu Daozi, a painter of the Tang Dynasty, each 8 meters high and 18 meters long. . The murals are rigorously composed and the characters are lifelike. They are world-renowned for their large size, large characters and grand style.

Sanyi Palace is located in Lousangmiao Village, Zhuozhou City, Baoding City. It is a national AAA-level tourist attraction and a cultural relic protection unit in Hebei Province. It was first built in the Sui Dynasty, and was continuously repaired by the Tang, Liao, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It has a history of more than 1,400 years. Sanyi Palace was built to commemorate Liu, Guan and Zhang Taoyuan's sworn brothers. For thousands of years, there has been an endless stream of worshipers, and at the same time, many popular poems have been left behind. It has become the best place for people to worship through the ages and find the soul of loyalty. Every year during the temple fair of Sanyi Palace, people from nearby gather here, and it is very lively. It is one of the eight scenic spots in Zhuozhou, and it is called "Lousangchun Society".

The Sanyi Palace faces south and covers an area of ​​nearly 30,000 square meters. It is composed of a mountain gate, a horse hall, a main hall, and an apse (Wuhou Hall, Shao Sanyi Hall, and the Sleeping Palace). It is magnificent. It is a pity that there is only one mountain gate left because it was demolished in the late period of the "Cultural Revolution". In 1996, the Zhuozhou government rebuilt the Sanyi Palace. According to the layout of the three-entry courtyard in the Ming Dynasty, the 87 colored statues in each hall were rebuilt according to the original appearance, recreating the grand scene of the year. Free parking.

This scene is the Sanyi Palace built by imperial edict, which was built by the emperor's order. The entire Sanyi Palace is very large, there are many palaces, and there are various statues in it, all of which have a profound cultural background.

He was also invited to give a lecture in Korea, but he refused. There are often Japanese and Korean tour groups who advocate the culture of the Three Kingdoms here.
