1. Introduction to the Scenic Spot
Baoduzhai is located about 17 kilometers west of Shijiazhuang City. It was formerly known as Baoduzhai Mountain and is one of the famous scenic spots near Shijiazhuang City. Baoduzhai is not just a fortress, but a general term for a mountain. Because the slopes of the whole mountain are very steep, but there is a large flat ground on the top of the mountain, so the ancients built military fortresses on the top of the mountain. Visiting Baoduzhai, you can visit the Great Wall, ancestral halls, temples and other cultural relics on the top of the mountain; you can also climb mountains for exercise and watch the surrounding open mountain ranges and dense trees. It is a good place for hiking, trekking and visiting ancient sites near Shijiazhuang.
2. Travel Guide
Visiting Baoduzhai mainly involves hiking and sightseeing in the mountaintop area. The entrance fee for Baoduzhai Scenic Spot is collected only after entering the fortress upon reaching the mountaintop area, so it is free to hike for a while. Many local tourists come here just to climb mountains without entering the fortress area, only for exercise and to enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery. The hiking path is a stone step path, which takes about 2 hours to reach the top of the mountain. The descent is also the same path. Therefore, if you only want to climb mountains and your physical strength is insufficient, you can withdraw from this place at any time. In addition, there is a cable car from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The cable car is 1800 meters long. It costs 60 yuan for a round trip and 30 yuan for a one-way trip. You can take the cable car to enjoy the scenery on the top of the mountain. The entire scenic area takes about half a day to explore.
The terrain of Baoduzhai is very special. It is surrounded by steep mountain paths, even rock walls, while the top of the mountain is a flat plain. During the climb, the view is very open, with rolling mountains and dense vegetation on the mountains, which is very nice. Therefore, it has also attracted many local people to come here for hiking and exercise. In addition, it is also a good choice to take photos of sunrise and sunset on the mountain slope in the early morning and evening. In winter, many people come here to take photos of snow scenes.
After reaching the mountaintop area, you can enjoy the scenery of the fortress. The mountaintop area is about hundreds of meters long and wide, which can be visited on foot. Baoduzhai is a military mountain fortress, surrounded by Great Wall-style military buildings. The South Gate and North Gate on the north and south sides are the largest mountaintop gates in the country, which are very eye-catching. The surrounding area is like an ancient city. This city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Han Xin once stationed himself here to guard the city in history, so there is also a Han Xin Temple in the fortress to commemorate the famous general. There are also cultural attractions such as Tiantang Street, Bagua Terrace and Lohan Temple in the fortress. The most interesting is the Five Hundred Lohan Hall in Lohan Temple. Five hundred golden Lohan statues are all different in shape and style, which is worth visiting.
In addition to numerous cultural buildings, there are also many trees on the top of the mountain, including many ancient trees.
