At 7:30 am, please go to the meeting point, Gongzhufen Station, Exit A, and walk 200 meters north to the entrance of Xinxing Hotel. Sign in and get on the bus, and depart on time.
During the journey, the tour leader will introduce the itinerary and precautions, and then we will head to the destination. You will have lunch at the service area along the way.

Arrive at Yanshan Temple for a tour. Inside the temple, you will find the walls of the Manjusri Hall covered with Jin Dynasty murals, which are known as the mural version of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
Then we took a bus to Sansheng Temple, where there are three strange things: a dragon on the pillar, a dragon with wings, and Wukong on the altar.
After the tour, we'll head to the Princess Temple, known for its murals alongside the Yongle Palace, known as "Yongle in the South, Princess in the North." Besides the murals, the five colored sculptures of the Three Buddhas, Ananda, and Kasyapa in the Main Hall are also masterpieces of the Ming Dynasty.

Day 2 Fanshi → Hanzhuang Great Wall → Beijing
All day
After breakfast, we'll board a bus to visit the Hanzhuang Great Wall. Also known as the Zhumiankou Great Wall, Hanzhuang was built by the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period, rebuilt during the Sui Dynasty, and then widened and heightened with brickwork during the Ming Dynasty. Here, you'll be greeted by untouched natural scenery and the grandeur of the ancient wall, free from crowds. Walking along the unrestored section of the wall, you'll feel the weight of history with every step.
Return to Hanzhuang Village Farmhouse for lunch and then take the bus back to Beijing.
After arriving at Gongzhufen, we waved goodbye, kissed each other tearfully, and looked forward to meeting again next time.
