Where are you planning to travel for the Dragon Boat Festival? Friends in Beijing, if you want to travel, there are these scenic spots nearby that you can go to. These places have a good environment, and most importantly, they are relatively close, which will make travel much easier.
Shenyang
After the opening of Beijing Chaoyang Station, it takes only three hours to get to Shenyang from Beijing. Shenyang has a long history and culture. The most worthwhile attraction in Shenyang is the Shenyang Palace Museum. However, the Liaoning Provincial Museum is no less impressive than the Shenyang Palace Museum, where it also houses a large number of ancient paintings and calligraphy from the Qing Dynasty. In the museum, you can also see relics such as the Tang Dynasty “The Lady with a Flower in Her Hair”, Zhang Xu’s “Four Ancient Poems”, and Song Huizong’s “Auspicious Crane Painting”. In addition, being in Shenyang is like being surrounded by Northeastern food. There are chicken frames, spicy stir-fries, snow-cotton bean paste, and so on.
Taiyuan
It also takes about three hours to travel from Beijing to Taiyuan by high-speed rail. If you are interested in history and culture, I recommend that you go to Taiyuan. In Taiyuan, you can see a large number of magnificent buildings and relics.
The most worthwhile attraction to see in Taiyuan is Jinci, China’s earliest royal sacrificial garden. It was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty and has been rebuilt and expanded over the dynasties, with different architectural styles from different historical periods representing the treasures of ancient Chinese architectural art. Buildings such as the Saint Mother Hall, the wood-carved coiled dragon, and the Fish Pond Flying Bridge are all worth visiting.
Anya
If you want to see the Lonely Library, the Anya Auditorium, the Sand Dune Art Museum, etc., you can spend a night in Anya. Whether it’s a hotel or a homestay, the quality is all above average.
You can also visit the most lonely library, the Sanlian Public Library, but you need to book in advance a week in advance, and the quota is very popular. After visiting the iconic buildings, you can also pay attention to the small shops and holiday activities in Anya.
Hohhot
In Hohhot, there are cultural landscapes such as the Xili Tu Zhao, the Grand Mosque, the Dazhao Temple, the Inner Mongolia Museum, and the Zhaojun Tomb. You can also visit the Wuta Temple in the southeast of the old city of Hohhot, which got its name because there are five square stupa on the base of the pagoda.
The nearby Hadamen Plateau Ranch is only an hour’s drive from Hohhot. Those who want to visit the prairie can go and have a look.
Zhengding
The ancient city of Zhengding in Shijiazhuang is a good place to visit from Beijing. It is the hometown of Zhao Yun. The ancient city of Zhengding has a history of more than 1,600 years, and many ancient buildings from various dynasties are still preserved within the city. In addition, there are the Guang Hui Temple Hua Pagoda, the Linji Temple Chengling Pagoda, and the Kaiyuan Temple Xumi Pagoda for you to admire.
