Shijiazhuang is a unique city full of charm. Many people prefer self-driving travel experience, which can give them more free space and time. Everyone hopes to find the most worth visiting focus in the city. , so what are the interesting attractions in Shijiazhuang?
Shijiazhuang is very rich in tourism resources, with hundreds of large and small attractions, such as Berlin Zen Temple, Hebei Garden Expo, Tiangui Mountain Scenic Area, and Baodu Village , Hebei Museum, Zhengding Ancient City, Xibaipo, Zhaozhou Bridge, etc.
Last weekend I started a two-day and one-night self-driving trip to Shijiazhuang with BAIC New Energy EU5
R600. This time I chose the red culture tour. On the one hand, I wanted to understand the culture of this city. On the other hand, it was the 70th anniversary of the motherland. As a tourism experiencer, I wanted to celebrate the motherland’s birthday in my own way. Day 1: See the red attractions in Xibaipo
When it comes to Xibaipo, I believe everyone must be familiar with it. Let’s first take a brief look at Xibaipo. It is located in a small mountain village on the north bank of Hutuo River in Pingshan County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. It is about 80 kilometers away from the urban area of ??Shijiazhuang. It not only has beautiful scenery and fertile soil, but more importantly, its significance. Xibaipo is one of the three cradles of revolution in China, and too many stories have happened here.
Because it is far away from Shijiazhuang, it takes more than an hour to drive, and it is even more strenuous for a road addict like me. When you walk into Xibaipo Scenic Area, you can hear clear and melodious red songs resounding all over the mountains and plains. This is one of the most famous patriotic education bases in China. Walking on the square, there is an endless stream of people coming to visit and study. There are soldiers, local party members and cadres, old people walking hobblingly, and children wearing red scarves. They all seem to be as awed by this place as I am.
There is actually a very interesting story about this "rush for the exam". On March 23, 1949, when advancing into Peiping, Chairman Mao said to Premier Zhou with sincerity: "Today is the day to enter Beijing. Go to Beijing to take the exam." Premier Zhou replied with a smile: "We should all pass the exam, don't go back." Chairman Mao said: "If we go back, we will fail. We will never be like Li Zicheng!"

Enter the Xibaipo Memorial Hall in Pingshan County, Hebei Province. Standing in the center of the square are the bronze statues of the "Five Great Secretaries" Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai and Ren Bishi, with eyes like torches, staring into the distance. Surrounded by flowers, the 11 golden characters "Xibaipo
New China comes from here" shined in the bright sunshine. They would stand here and take pictures like me, and occasionally hear the elderly people talking next to them. They could always talk endlessly about the "Five Secretaries". They seemed to have more stories in their hearts than themselves.

It is such a magical small mountain village that gave birth to our greatness today The People's Republic of China, from 1948 to 2019, 70 years have passed. The Chinese people have stood up and become rich, but the challenges and problems we face are still severe and complex, and the "rush for exams" faced by the party is far from It’s over, “rushing for exams” is always on the way. In fact, it is quite right. No matter who we are in or what position we are in, we must continue to "rush for exams". Only in this way can we not be eliminated by society and live a better life.

After leaving Xibaipo Scenic Area, I drove to the ancient city of Zhengding. I like the excitement at night more than during the day. Zhengding Ancient City is a national historical city with a long history. In the city, you can find physical objects and examples of cultural relics and architectural remains from the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and the Republic of China. Therefore, it has the reputation of "nine dynasties are continuous". Since Zhengding had a special political and military status in ancient times, the city wall was built extremely tall and strong. The gate tower is even more majestic with its painted pillars, carved beams, cornices and brackets.

The brightly lit ancient city of Zhengding matches well with my little friend BAIC New Energy EU5
R600. I have to say that the shape of this car The design is very novel. Its front face adopts a closed grille, which matches with the "bident-style" outline light bar and large-size C-shaped daytime running lights, making it look domineering and confident; the raised waistline design, The fastback shape and duckbill-style tail give it a coupe-like dynamic style. Parking in front of the gate of Zhengding Ancient City is also a unique sight.

Whenever night falls quietly and the lanterns bloom, colorful lights, high city walls, and red neon outline buildings of different styles. Some are simple and dignified; some are gorgeous and noble; some are extraordinary. Standing on the city gate tower, overlooking the streets and alleys of the ancient city, it seems that it is much quieter at this moment, and it feels like returning to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

By the way, there is also a Guanghui Temple in Zhengding Ancient City. At night, under the illumination of night lights, the Huata becomes more beautiful, spectacular and elegant. If you like photography, this is the perfect place. The combination of modern lighting technology and ancient architecture, the fusion of fashion and antiquity, is definitely a unique landscape.

Day 2: Hebei Museum + Zhaozhou Bridge Urban Culture Starts Here
I have a habit
, that is, no matter where I go, I must go to the local museum. I think this is the easiest and most direct way to understand the culture of a certain city, but I never expected that the Hebei Museum is so "high-end" that it really takes half a day to visit. Finished shopping.
Hebei Museum
Hebei Museum
Hebei Museum is huge and beautifully built. It is divided into two parts, the southern area and the northern area. It is a fixed exhibition hall, and the north area is a temporary exhibition hall. The fixed exhibition hall is from the Stone Age to the modern Anti-Japanese War. However, the exhibition hall I personally prefer is called "The Song of the Han Dynasty - Mancheng Han Tombs", and the main hall of the museum is here. One of Liu Sheng's treasures is Liu Sheng's jade garment with golden threads. Moreover, most museums now do not require tickets. Just remember to bring your ID card to pick up tickets on site.
Hebei Museum
The fixed exhibition halls of Hebei Museum mainly include the following eight, "Hebei in the Stone Age", "Hebei Shang Dynasty Civilization", "Elegy of Generosity - Story of Yanzhao", "Han Dynasty" "Swan Song - Mancheng Han Tombs", "Warring States Glory - Ancient Zhongshan Kingdom", "Famous Kilns and Famous Porcelain", "Northern Dynasty Murals", "Quyang Stone Sculpture", I personally like this category very much, it is very detailed.
Hebei Museum
Let’s focus on the "Song of the Han Dynasty - Mancheng Han Tomb". Mancheng Han Tomb is located in Lingshan, Mancheng County, Baoding City. The tombs of Liu Sheng, the first king of Jing, and his wife Dou Wan. Excavated in 1968. The two tombs were dug into the mountain rock. They are large in scale, complex in structure, and have luxurious burial objects. They can be called a luxurious underground palace. Gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, stone, and pottery were unearthed. There are more than 10,000 pieces of cultural relics such as lacquerware and glassware. Their rich variety and exquisite craftsmanship are rare among excavated Han tombs. They have been rated as one of the 100 major archaeological discoveries in China in the 20th century.

In this exhibition hall, the highlight is Liu Sheng’s jade garment with golden threads. This can definitely be called a national treasure. It is the first discovery in our country, the highest standard and the most complete. Jade burial clothes. In 1968, it was unearthed from the tomb of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in Mancheng County. It is 1.88 meters long. It is made according to the proportion of human body structure and divided into five parts: hood, top, gloves, trousers and shoes. The whole set of jade clothes is composed of jade pieces of various shapes. Although I have seen photos before, I am still shocked when I see it in person. I can imagine the wealth and luxury of that era.
Hebei Museum
After visiting the museum, the scenic spot we went to in the afternoon was called Zhaozhou Bridge. Yes, it is the Zhaozhou Bridge in primary school Chinese textbooks. Zhaozhou Bridge is located in Zhao County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. It is about 50 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang City and takes about an hour to drive. Zhaozhou Bridge was built by Li Chun, a master craftsman of the Sui Dynasty. It is the oldest, largest and most complete single-hole open-shoulder stone arch bridge in the world. It is no exaggeration to call it "the best bridge in the world".
Zhaozhou Bridge
The Zhaozhou Bridge Scenic Area mainly consists of China Bridge Pavilion, Zhaozhou Bridge Pavilion, Zhaozhou Bridge Science and Technology Museum and Zhaozhou Bridge Park. For example, we walked Enter the first exhibition hall, which is the Chinese Bridge Museum, where China's ancient bridges will be introduced in detail. After reading it, you will find that each one is a history book, recording every bit of the human world. They hang high and lie low, and come in various shapes. Some are located high in the mountains and wild ridges, simple and elegant; some span between rocks and streams, adding to the splendor of the mountains and rivers; some are located on thoroughfares in busy cities, with ingenious shapes; some are multi-purpose bridges and are ingenious. No matter the wind or rain, no matter the scorching heat or severe winter, they always help pedestrians, carriages and horses cross the river in obscurity.

Of course, the most popular place to go out is Zhaozhou Bridge Park. When you come here, you can take a look at the beautiful scenery in primary school textbooks. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you truly feel the beauty of the classical art of the bridge. Although it has a history of more than 1,500 years and has experienced earthquakes, floods, wind and sun, the Zhaozhou Bridge still stands. Maybe it’s the wisdom of ancient people. I personally think you can come and take a look.

To be honest, the weather was still very hot when I drove from Shijiazhuang to Zhaozhou Bridge Scenic Area that day. This "autumn tiger" "I didn't hide after all.
