[Taste] I ate one and packed one. No matter how many heads were put into each portion of fire cake, they were all weighed. This is the guarantee of stable chain products. [Service] During the process, a big brother packed 20 or 30 pieces. The chef directly weighed the total amount of this portion and stuffed them into the sesame cake one by one. This is also reasonable. The total amount eaten by the big brother is accurate. There may be slight differences between each one, but it is not a loss, haha.

Baoding, a renowned historical and cultural city, boasts both natural beauty and cultural heritage, and its relatively affordable prices make it ideal for travelers on a budget. Here's a practical guide for you: ### 🌄 Must-See Attractions (Affordable Tickets) 1. Zhili Governor-General's Office Museum (30 RMB) - This is China's best-preserved provincial-level government office from the Qing Dynasty. We recommend hiring a tour guide (group tours are available) to learn about the story of "one Governor-General's Office, half of Qing history." 2. Ancient Lotus Pond (30 RMB in summer) - This is a famous garden in northern China, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. The lotus flowers are at their peak beauty in July and August, so we recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid the crowds. 3. Baiyangdian Lake (80 RMB combined ticket + boat ticket) - Best viewed from May to October, experience a wooden boat ride through the reed marshes. We recommend visiting a farmhouse for salted duck eggs and stewed mixed fish. 4. **Yesanpo Baili Gorge** (115 RMB) - A two-hour drive from the city, the canyon offers a refreshing escape from the summer heat, perfect for a day trip. ### 🍜 Authentic Food Map (less than 50 yuan per person) 1. **Donkey Meat Hot Buns** - Recommended: Yongmao Donkey Meat (established shop), Yanjia Donkey Meat (Baoding-style round hot buns) 2. **Bai Yunzhang Steamed Buns** - A time-honored beef-filled bun shop, perfect with millet porridge (opposite the Ancient Lotus Pond) 3. **Dacige Sesame Oil Shop** - Watch traditional sesame oil making and buy souvenirs 4. **Night Market Recommendations**: - Heda New District Night Market: Red bean cakes and grilled cold noodles at student-friendly prices - Military Academy Square Night Market: A popular barbecue spot for locals ### 🏠 Value-for-money Accommodation (100-180 yuan/night) 1. **Money Inns**: - Home Inn Neo (Yuhua Road): Walking distance to the Governor's Office - Hanting (Train Station): Convenient transportation 2. **Specialty Youth Hostels**: - Dianli Boathouse Theme Inn (near Baiyangdian Lake) 3. **University Area**: - B&B near Hebei University/Agricultural University, with a variety of evening snacks ### 💡 Practical Tips: 1. Public Transportation: Most attractions are concentrated on Yuhua Road. Take buses 1, 8, or 35 to connect to major attractions. 2. Free Attractions: Jingxiu Park and Baoding Military Academy Memorial Hall 3. Seasonal Recommendations: April for the apricot blossoms on Baishishan Mountain and October for the Langya Mountain Red Leaf Festival. 4. Short Trip: Yi County's Qingxiling Tombs (off-season ticket price 40 yuan) is ideal for those who enjoy photographing ancient architecture. We recommend a 2-3 day itinerary: Day one for a cultural tour of the city and day two for exploring the natural beauty of Baiyangdian Lake or Yesanpo. Be sure to try the Baoding specialty "Huai Mao Pickled Vegetables" with porridge!

This time I stayed at Daguanyuan. It's so close to everything. Just a short walk from the door is a traditional donkey meat hot pot restaurant. There was a line at this place, and after buying, the staff helped me find a table. The donkey meat hot pot was really good. The flat intestines and the fat and lean parts were both delicious. The tofu soup was also delicious, a bit like Henan spicy soup. The price was reasonable and the food was very satisfying. The millet porridge was free, and there were plenty of side dishes. The staff was also very friendly. I'll go back next time.
