Everyone should definitely take the opportunity to visit the ancient city of Zhengding in Shijiazhuang, Hebei

Originally, the trip to the ancient city was not very certain, and it was a last-minute decision, but what I received was an unexpected surprise! Looking around, the entire ancient city is well constructed, preserving the simplicity of the old city while accommodating modern construction. The environment is super clean, and the streets, play facilities, and public restrooms are very well maintained! The commercial atmosphere of the ancient city is not heavy, and it has retained the feel of the original ancient city very well. A variety of specialty foods are gathered here, where you can eat very authentic Hebei cuisine. There are plenty of historical sites, suitable for exploring ancient culture and art. It's suitable for young people to do a City Walk, and you'll end the day with a lot of gains. The consumption is moderate, and the transportation is very convenient. Zhengding ancient city lantern viewing strategy: Navigation can go to the south gate, which is the entrance. There are a lot of people, and the queue is endless, but the police uncles and security are working very hard, and the overall order is very good, and it's quick to get on the city wall. After getting on the wall, pay special attention to your feet, as the ground is not even, and some wire boxes on the ground can easily trip you up, and it may be difficult to notice with the crowd. No reservation is needed, and you can just go up and stroll around, but it's hard to take pictures, it's all people, there are only a few large lanterns, also all surrounded by people, the rest are small lanterns. It's not very suitable for walking with kids, as it will be a long walk, and there are still quite a few places to eat. The price of tricycles is quite high, 20 yuan per person, and it's very hard to get a taxi, so try to park near the south gate as much as possible. During the Spring Festival, there are especially many people, really a lot. If you want to see the lanterns, you need to park your car half a day in advance. Be mentally prepared, because you'll have to queue for public toilets, restaurants, to see the lanterns on the city wall, and to get off the city wall. Many locals are already afraid to go out because it's too congested, and they give the right of way to tourists, as long as everyone is happy. Zhengding welcomes visitors with the greatest sincerity, with free parking and free lantern festival tickets, so the on-site viewing is very crowded, but if there's a charge, netizens complain online about why there's a fee for the lantern festival. The logic is simple, price filters the crowd. If you think there are too many people in the restaurant, you can choose a more expensive one, and naturally, there will be fewer people. Travel is the same, you can only choose one between free and quiet. Under the south gate of Zhengding, there are fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars, and in addition to firefighters, doctors, and police officers, there are also many cultural and tourism bureau staff and cleaners who have sacrificed their holidays to be busy for the scenic area. You should know that the scenic area is free, and they don't get any extra overtime pay. When tourists are spending the Spring Festival reunion time with their families, they are silently contributing at their posts. They may not do well enough, but they have already sacrificed their personal vacation time and are already welcoming guests from all directions with a smile. If it were someone else, could they be so enthusiastic and selflessly work overtime during their annual leave? I hope that visitors to Zhengding can have more understanding for the staff. Don't say that tourists have never seen so many people; the staff have also never seen so many tourists, and probably the locals of Zhengding have never seen so many either. So if you haven't come yet, be mentally prepared, and if you have already arrived in Zhengding, just accept it and don't waste the happy mood of the trip. I hope every friend has fun in Zhengding! I hope the ancient city of Zhengding can be known by more people, it really is a treasure of a tourist destination. Zhengding ancient city
