Located in Yongnian District, Handan City, Hebei Province, Guangfu Ancient City is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years. It was an important city of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period. The city walls are well preserved and surrounded by moats. The ancient city retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the houses with blue bricks and gray tiles are scattered in an orderly manner. Guangfu Ancient City is famous as the birthplace of Tai Chi. Tai Chi masters such as Yang Luchan and Wu Yuxiang once practiced martial arts here. Walking in the ancient city, you can not only feel the heavy historical heritage, but also appreciate the unique martial arts culture.
Many people may ignore this place when they come to Handan. Of course, many people come here specifically to take pictures of the Warring States robes. People who ignore this place may think it is meaningless. In fact, the entire ancient city is relatively alive. There are many residents living in the ancient city. It is nice to come and feel the scenery here.

The Wahuang Palace, located on Zhonghuang Mountain in Handan, is known as the "Ancestral Temple of China." Built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, it still preserves the Northern Qi grottoes and cliff-carved scriptures after thousands of years. It is tied to the cliff with nine iron ropes, and it is said that the building will shake when there are many tourists.
A small 5A scenic spot with few people and no need to queue. The slide is fun and exciting. The main hall is connected to the cliff with 9 iron chains. It is worth seeing. It is a scenic spot with great cultural heritage.

The mountain is not too high, and if you don't take the shuttle bus, you should be able to finish the tour in one morning. The main attraction is the grotto on the mountain, which is also one of the three royal grottoes.
It is worth a visit. It is one of the three major royal grottoes in China and is relatively well preserved. The scenic area is well built, the publicity and internal transportation are all good, not tiring, and it is very friendly to bring the elderly and children.

The staff were all very helpful and patient, very safety-conscious. They checked everyone individually, and afterward, they checked to see if anyone had left anything behind.
You can't enjoy all the nightlife, so it's best to stay all day, as waiting in line wastes a lot of time.
I took my kids to Handan Fantawild National Color Spring and Autumn during the summer vacation. The location is very good. It is right next to the Fantawild Park after getting off the highway. I booked the tickets a day in advance. When checking in, the staff asked me if the ticket was 140 yuan. If it was too expensive, I could refund it and buy it again. They also said that there would be a discount on tickets for the anniversary celebration on August 1st, and the event started on July 31st. I thought that other Fantawild tickets were more than 200 yuan, so it was a great deal to catch the Fantawild in Handan.

Very worthwhile, the scenery is beautiful and there are few people. The boat tour is very enjoyable. There is a tour guide to explain. The boat tour time is relatively long. From the boat, you can see the mountains on both sides. The scenery is infinitely good. The beautiful scenery seen on the boat tour is a beautiful scenery that cannot be appreciated on the plank road. I will introduce friends to come and play
It is still worth a visit. The scenery is great. You can take a boat, climb a mountain, stroll around, and look far into the distance. There are many means of transportation to choose from in the scenic area, such as slides, battery cars, small trains, cable cars, etc.

On a brisk autumn day, I arrived at the long-desired East Taihang Scenic Area. Stepping into the area felt like entering a natural oxygen bar. The fresh air, mingled with the fragrance of vegetation, was refreshing and invigorating. As I followed the winding mountain road, towering peaks rose on either side, each a different shape. Some resembled eagles ready for flight, others resembled adorable giant turtles. Clouds and mist shrouded the mountains, adding a touch of mystery.
I ascended the plank path until I reached the famous "Cloud Plank Road." Standing there, with a chasm beneath my feet and sheer cliffs beside me, I felt awe-inspiring. But as I gazed down at the scenery below, all my fears vanished. The mountains stretched out in a vast, rolling landscape, like a vast landscape painting, and I felt as if I were part of it.
Continuing on, I arrived at the "Colorful Corridor." The mountains here are sculpted with a dazzling array of colors by nature, interweaving red, yellow, green, and purple in a breathtakingly beautiful display. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting beams of light onto the mountains, as if nature were adding a touch of artistic flair to this painting.
The beauty of the Eastern Taihang Mountains lies not only in its natural scenery but also in its rich cultural heritage. The well-preserved ancient villages within the scenic area, with their ancient architecture and simple folk customs, offer a sense of transporting back in time. Here, I witnessed the villagers' life, working from sunrise to sunset, and felt their love for life and their reverence for nature.
My trip to the Eastern Taihang Mountains left me captivated, its beauty unforgettable. Here, I experienced the wonders of nature and the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. I look forward to returning to the Eastern Taihang Mountains to experience its beauty and wonder once again.
During the Qingming Festival holiday, we visited the East Taihang Mountains. The scenic area is quite large and there are not many tourists. We bought cable car tickets, but did not take the cable car first. Instead, we took a sightseeing bus directly up the mountain. We went to the North Peak from the mountain, then came down the same way and walked in the direction of the cable car. Because it was the opposite route to the main group, there were not many people. There are elevators available throughout the whole route, with few steps, and it is very friendly to the elderly and children.

It was my first time going there. I went there with my children and family. The children had a lot of fun. They played from afternoon to night. The Sky Grassland Night Club was very lively and the atmosphere was very good. It is a good place worth recommending. I will go there again when I have time.
Taihang Wuzhi Mountain is like a painting of ink and water, standing in the Taihang Mountains. In the early morning, we set foot on the journey to Wuzhi Mountain. The mountain road is winding and the car is surrounded by clouds and mist, as if in a fairyland. Arrive at the foot of the mountain, look up at the peaks, the five main peaks of Wuzhishan are scattered, like the giant hand of the gods, guarding the land. We walk up the stone steps, the ancient trees in the mountains, the branches and leaves are lush, and the sun shines through the gaps. The fresh air is mixed with the fragrance of soil and grass, which makes people feel refreshed. On the way, the streams and the springs are crystal clear, and occasionally small fish can be seen playing in the water. The sound of birds singing in the mountains is like a natural symphony. On the top of the mountain, the view is suddenly open, the mountains are rolling, the sea of clouds is rolling, as if you are in the heavens and the earth. Wuzhishan not only has a beautiful natural scenery, but also contains a deep cultural heritage. The ancient temples and stone carvings in the mountains can be seen everywhere, telling the vicissitudes of history. Here, we feel the magic of nature and the precipitation of history and culture, this journey will become an unforgettable memory in my heart.

Alipay appointment in advance, but it is also possible to register with ID card on the same day. It is very flexible. There are free chapters in the cultural and creative area, and there are free chapters in the coffee shop. There are also nine free chapters in the coffee pocket. There are a few national treasures at the first level. I saw that there are not many people. There are four floors in total. Still not small, there is a commemorative coin 30 yuan, there are many types of refrigerator stickers, good quality, like metal
The Handan Museum is very large. Although it is a municipal museum, it is a national museum. There are also many cultural relics inside. You can play a museum for a day. It is opposite to the Merile City Shopping Center and there is a library next to it. It is very convenient. I don’t know where to go during the May Day holiday. Come here, hehe. [Cost-effective] Free, Tuesday to Sunday, open until 9 pm during Labor Day. Awesome
