Yuzhou Ancient City city walk: Explore the millennium history and experience the beauty of ancient charm

👀 Yuzhou Ancient City Exploration Log👀 🌈 One of the 'Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun', the Yu County (Yuzhou)✨, which is clustered with national protected units, holds an irreplaceable position in my heart💖. After a thousand years of ups and downs, from the Khitan cavalry's entry, the Mongolian iron hoof's conquest, to its transformation into a bustling hub for merchants during the Ming and Qing dynasties💰, its story is like a historical scroll that travels through time📜. Although located in Hebei, Yuzhou gives me the illusion of being in the ancient charm of Shanxi, with its unique flavor that is fascinating💫. 🏰 Stepping into Yuzhou Ancient City is like traveling back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, this over 1400-year-old elder still retains its elegance. Most of the ancient architectural complexes in the city originate from the Ming Dynasty, and time has left deep marks on them, yet also endowed them with endless charm🕰️. 📷【Must-Visit Attractions】📷 📍Yuhuang Pavilion: Snap away at the Ming dynasty murals📸, adjacent to the city wall, a beautiful view at every step! 📍God of Wealth Temple: The largest Ming and Qing dynasty God of Wealth Temple in Hebei is located here, pray for blessings and wealth, and good fortune will follow💰! 📍Zhenwu Temple: The murals in the Beiji Hall are lifelike, lift your camera, and capture this artistic treasure🎨. 📍Nan'an Temple Pagoda: Founded during the Northern Wei Dynasty, remodeled in the Liao Dynasty, a landmark building of Yu County, look up at the ancient pagoda and feel the sediment of history🗿. 📍Wanshan Tower: Climb the city wall, and the view suddenly opens up👀, the style of the ancient city is all in sight. 📍Jingxian Gate: Stroll to the south city gate, explore the stories behind the ancient name🔍. 📍Drum Tower & Jixing Tower: The two ancient buildings echo each other, telling the story of the ancient city's morning bells and evening drums and the rhythm of traditional Chinese charm🔔. 📍Lingyan Temple: Inside the Supreme Gentleman's Hall, the exquisite caisson ceiling is astonishing💫, the beauty of art blooms here. 📍Shijia Temple: A national protected unit from the Yuan Dynasty, with its mysteriously opening and closing doors, the 'Smiling Buddha' plaque quietly awaits the connoisseur. Cause and effect come and go, visit as fate allows🙏. 🗺️【Walking Route】🗺️ 🚶‍♀️ Start from Yuhuang Pavilion, explore the God of Wealth Temple, Zhenwu Temple, then to Lingyan Temple, Jixing Tower, Drum Tower, pay respects at Yuzhou Government Office, Nan'an Temple Pagoda, climb Wanshan Tower, and finally stop at Jingxian Gate, ending at Shijia Temple. This approximately 5-kilometer walking journey is enough to immerse you in the context of the ancient city, and half a day's time is just right🌞. 📌【Practical Tips】📌 🚗 There is a free parking lot next to Yuhuang Pavilion🅿️, it is more suitable to walk inside the ancient city, those narrow alleys hide endless stories, and vehicles can hardly pass through. Remember to wear a pair of comfortable shoes, stroll at ease, and fully appreciate the style of the ancient city👟. Museum enthusiasts take note! If you have enough time, don't miss the Yu County Museum🏛️. Every detail in this 'treasure small city' is worth your careful appreciation and exploration🔎.
