Things to do in Ningcheng

We went with the whole family. The scenic area has a beautiful environment, fresh air, and babbling brooks. We took a sightseeing bus into the mountains and then walked back along the boardwalk. The scenery along the way was lovely and perfect for taking photos. There were also some recreational facilities for children.

The existing Daming Tower was rebuilt on the original site, which is also very good.

The Daming Pagoda is located in the Liaozhongjing Ruins in Nancheng Village, Tianyi Town, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It was selected as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units along with the Liaozhongjing Ruins. The Daming Pagoda is an octagonal 13-story solid brick tower with dense eaves. The tower is 80.22 meters high, the third tallest tower in the country, and the largest in volume. There is no information on the specific year when the Daming Pagoda was built, but according to the words written on a brick found on the tower during maintenance in 1982, it is believed that the Daming Pagoda should have been built between the 25th year of Tonghe in the Liao Dynasty and the 4th year of Shouchang. The first-floor eaves of the tower are nearly 11 meters above the ground. Each side is carved with a detailed and lifelike relief of a seated Buddha. Each Buddha has two ribs on the left and right, and there is a pair of flying celestials on the top. The left edge of each side is like a two-section tower. The upper section is engraved with the name of the Buddhist pagoda of the face, and the lower section is engraved with the Dharma name of the bodhisattva of the face. Due to hundreds of years of wind and rain, especially the magnitude 7 earthquake in the Yuan Dynasty and the Tangshan earthquake in 1976, the top of the tower tilted, and most of the wind bells and bronze mirrors fell. The tower may have been repaired many times in history, but there is no historical record. In order to protect this precious cultural relic building, the state invested in a comprehensive repair of the building in 1981. After three years of construction, the renovation not only restored the original appearance, but also replaced the original copper roof, and hung a number of new wind bells and bronze mirrors. After this renovation, the thousand-year-old style of the ancient tower has been completely renewed, and its original majestic appearance has been restored again.

I have recently visited Universal Beijing. We had an absolutely amazing time at Universal Beijing Resort! The attention to detail in each themed land is incredible — the Wizarding World of Harry Potter felt like stepping straight into the movies, and the Minion Land was a wonderful place. The rides are thrilling, the shows are spectacular, and there are so many photo spots you’ll never run out of great shots. The park is huge and you need a lot of time to see it all. Highly recommend, especially if you want to visit all places to come earlier.“Universal Beijing Resort is the best theme park with fantastic theming and a great variety of attractions. The Harry Potter area is definitely a must‑visit. It is like a fairytale. You may taste here baked pies with fruits and meat. It’s so delicious 🤤 Some people are wearing fancy dresses here. It is magnificent. There are a lot of people here but everyone can find here something special, it is unforgettable place. You should visit it one day

Falun Temple in Ningcheng, Chifeng, is another magnificent Qing Dynasty architectural site in Inner Mongolia (National Class 7). Construction began in the tenth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign (1745) and was completed in the eighth year of the Jiaqing Emperor's reign (1803). It is one of the ten major Gelugpa (Yellow Sect) temples of the Qing Dynasty. The main building is very tall, with a three-eaved hip roof structure, and the stone pillar bases are exquisitely carved. Although Falun Temple has suffered damage several times and is smaller than its peak, it is still one of the most magnificent temples in the entire Chifeng area.

I came here because of its reputation, but the actual experience was a bit poor. To sum it up, there are mountains, water, and forests, and nothing else. It is a good place to enjoy the natural time, you can get together with a few friends for a barbecue, or bring your family for a picnic and play in the water.

This museum is located in a corner of the so-called Liao Dynasty Zhongjing Ruins Park, a relatively small compound. It consists of two buildings, both two stories high, one large and one small. The one with the museum sign is the larger one; the other building is smaller, and it's unclear whether it's an office building or not. It looks quite clean; while not spotless, it's at least regularly cleaned. The only thing that bothered me was that the museum was closed. Judging from the marks on the temporary notice, I guess the last time it was open was when Guo Moruo wrote about the 300th anniversary of the Jia Shen year.

"Great" is the most fitting description of the Mutianyu Great Wall! Surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, the wall's majestic grandeur is accentuated. However, within the scenic area, the shuttle bus route passes a sizable building and littered with household waste, significantly damaging the environment. The restrooms at the main entrance are cramped, with only eight stalls in the women's restroom, resulting in long queues. The online ticketing system at the main entrance cannot recognize Beijing residents with ID numbers issued outside of Beijing. Besides my family, I saw several others in this situation, forcing them to queue for manual ticket purchases, greatly wasting visitors' time and the park's manpower resources.
