Located in the central Hebei Plain, the ancient city of Zhengding carries the spiritual and elegant spirit of the thousand-year-old Buddhist vein. It is home to many national-level Buddhist relics such as Longxing Temple and Linji Temple, forming a unique Zen cultural landscape. Entering Longxing Temple, the Song Dynasty building complex stands tall, the 21.3-meter-high bronze Thousand-armed Guanyin looks down on all living beings with compassion, the inverted Guanyin statue is known as the "Oriental Beauty Goddess", and the wooden structure of the Wheel of Revelation is amazing. Linji Temple is the ancestral home of the Zen sect. Under the ancient blue brick tower, you can listen to the morning bell and evening drum, and experience the clear state of meditation. The Tang Dynasty bell tower and Xumi Tower of Kaiyuan Temple form a "half-Tang structure" wonder, and the relief of the strong man on the Hua Tower of Guanghui Temple fully displays the charm of Liao Dynasty carving. Visitors can participate in experience projects such as copying scriptures, Zen tea, and Buddhist music appreciation, and feel the Zen enlightenment of "Let's have tea" in the thousand-year-old temple. The Buddhist Culture Festival held every year also uses activities such as the Lantern Festival and vegetarian tasting to allow modern people to touch the spiritual core of Chinese Buddhist culture through the three dimensions of architecture, art, and rituals. This "ancient art treasure house" is waiting for the destined people to start their spiritual journey with the Zen spirit of traveling through time and space.

【Zhengding Ancient City】Four towers stand tall, guarding a city

【Zhengding Ancient City】Four towers stand tall, guarding a city

|||🔶Tour route: The four towers of Zhengding are not far apart. When the weather is cool, you can start the citywalk mode. You can first climb the ancient city wall of Changle Gate on the south side of the city and take a 💯three towers in one💯 photo. Then head north, visiting Guanghui Temple➡️Linji Temple➡️Yanghe Tower➡️Kaiyuan Temple➡️Tianning Temple in turn. Tianning Temple is a bit far away, at the far north. If the weather is hot, like in summer, there is not much shade on this route. If you want a "luxury tour", you can take a taxi, with each stop being a three to five minute drive. 🔶About self-driving: You can navigate to the parking lot of Guanghui Temple, or navigate to Chengling Temple. There are many parking spaces nearby. On holidays, many streets in the ancient city will become pedestrian streets and prohibit driving after about eight o'clock in the evening, making parking very inconvenient, with no-entry signs everywhere. 🔶Record of the Four Towers: 1️⃣Tianning Temple Lingxiao Tower A nine-story brick and wood mixed structure tower, the most unique feature is that the first to third floors of the tower body are brick-imitation wood structure, the fourth floor is a brick and wood mixed structure, and the fifth to ninth floors are wood structure. It is said that the fourth floor retains the tower core column structure composed of nine round columns. Among the existing ancient towers in China, only the Lingxiao Tower of Tianning Temple still has this structure. Unfortunately, climbing the tower is now prohibited, and we can only admire the wisdom of the ancients from the introduction. 2️⃣Kaiyuan Temple Sumeru Tower The whole body is made of brick, and the stone plaque on the front of the tower is engraved with the four characters "Sumeru stands tall". Apart from the stone tower door hole with some carvings, there are no other decorations, which is slightly simple compared to the other three ancient towers. 3️⃣Guanghui Temple Hua Tower A relic of the Jin Dynasty, it is a three-story octagonal tower that looks like a blooming flower. The upper half of the tower is carved with tigers, lions, elephants, dragons, bodhisattvas and strong men, etc., with exquisite workmanship and lifelike, it is my favorite among the four towers. 4️⃣Linji Temple Chengling Tower It is an octagonal nine-story solid brick tower with a delicate overall design, beautiful shape, rich decoration, and a structure full of changes. The tower body is obviously inward, showing a delicate state, and it is the most delicate among the four towers in the ancient city.

[Zhengding County, Hebei - Hutuo River Ecological Tourism Area]

[Zhengding County, Hebei - Hutuo River Ecological Tourism Area]

⛰[Travel Guide] The recent TV series "Hometown Soil" focuses on "land" and "food" and tells the story of three generations of farmers represented by Liang Chuangen, Chunxue, Maicha, and Tianjiao, who remain true to their original aspirations, take root in the countryside, and create a better life. Through the great changes along the Hutuo River, the series reflects the difficult process and great achievements of rural reform and opening up, and through the struggle stories of ordinary people, it reflects the people's yearning and pursuit for a better life. It was because of this TV series that I came to visit the Hutuo River! With the arrival of winter, nature seems to have changed into a new picture, and the Hutuo River Ecological Tourism Scenic Area has a unique flavor. This meandering river not only nourishes the land along the banks but also shows a quiet and mysterious beauty in winter. The first thing that catches your eye is the Hutuo Flower Sea. Although the flowers have withered in winter, the withered branches still show a different kind of beauty. Next is the Leaf Square, a landmark building in the scenic area. It is not only unique in appearance but also a place for various cultural activities. Here, you can take a break or participate in interactive activities on the square to experience the unique charm of Hutuo River culture. Strolling along the banks of the Hutuo River, you can admire the Hutuo Imprint, which features a series of sculptures and landscapes that showcase the historical and cultural heritage of the Hutuo River. Through these artworks, you can gain a deeper understanding of the historical origins of this river with Shijiazhuang and even Hebei.
