We had a wonderful connection with Ms. Chen Xueyan. She was also the one who gave our lecture at Beixiangtang the day before. She was incredibly kind and her lectures were both informative and engaging. She lectured for about two hours straight, until her voice was hoarse. A fantastic experience! 👍🏻

It's a bit unbelievable that such a beautiful Jiangnan garden wasn't rated! The actors' performances were very energetic and professional, but their interaction with the audience was lacking; silence would have been more effective! The consideration for the elderly and disabled was not comprehensive enough; these groups could only admire the scenery from afar in most situations. Hopefully, this can be improved!

This is a hidden gem of a scenic area. While not as famous as Yungang or Longmen, it's a royal grotto from the Northern Qi Dynasty. The statues inside have suffered significant damage, with very few remaining intact. However, you can still feel the grandeur and awe-inspiring power of traditional sculptural art. The entire scenic area is well-maintained and logically designed, with lush vegetation and birdsong. Climbing to the platform in front of the grottoes, you can enjoy a vast expanse of green landscape. Across the way lies the majestic Taihang Mountains.

Li Yu, the teacher from Huayu, gave a fantastic lecture! I benefited greatly from it! I learned a lot, and the three and a half hours were well worth the trip! I wanted more! The exhibition hall was also very well built, and the Henan Province guides' explanations were excellent!

The North and South Xiangtang Grottoes are definitely worth a special trip; I'll never forget them after seeing them. Reference visit time: North Xiangtang takes about 2-2.5 hours, allowing for a leisurely ascent and careful exploration of the grottoes; South Xiangtang can be visited in about 1 hour. These are truly national treasure-level grottoes, radiating a profound sense of history. Seeing the stone carvings in person is truly awe-inspiring. Those who appreciate historical sites and grottoes should not miss this opportunity to experience the charm of Northern Qi stone carvings up close.

Longdong Zhuquan is one of the sources of the Fuyang River. The spring water gushes out from the rock crevices, crystal clear, with koi swimming around it, and shimmers with a blue-green light under the sunlight, earning it the nickname "Jiuzhaigou of Hebei".
