Off-peak Handan Tour During the May Day Holiday|||Precisely off-peak, a four-day tour of Handan

|||Precisely off-peak, a four-day tour of Handan.
Day 1: Arrived in Handan by high-speed train at noon. First, had a great meal at Handan Ren, where the stir-fried shrimp with Chinese cabbage was absolutely the best stir-fried Chinese cabbage I've ever had. In the evening, strolled around Congtai Park and Handan Road, and had the spicy hot pot at No. 25 Middle School, which was amazing.
Day 2: The highlight of this trip was the East Taihang Mountain. The mountain is steep and majestic, and the Danxia landform is like streaky pork, with distinct layers that make people stop and stare. The plank road winds and spirals on the cliffs. Looking into the distance, the Taihang Mountains stretch endlessly. Every step is a beautiful scene, and every photo is a blockbuster. Nature is truly fascinating. In the evening, checked into Chishuiwan Hotel. The scenery outside the window was intoxicating. Took a night tour of Chishuiwan Ancient Town, and the lighting and scenery were remarkable.
Day 3: Visited the 129th Division Memorial Hall and the Nvwa Palace. The downhill slide at Nvwa Palace is very exciting and worth a try. Although South Xiangtang is small, I saw the colorful lotus caisson and flying musicians in the grottoes, which were dreamlike, stunning, and unparalleled.
Day 4: At North Xiangtang, I saw the grotto where Gao Huan's coffin was said to be stored. Standing here, it felt like I had traveled through a thousand years, witnessing the rise and fall and lamenting the changes. I decided to visit the Cizhou Kiln Modern Ceramic Art Museum. There are all kinds of exquisite porcelain here, from tableware to tea sets. Some of the exquisitely crafted plates and bowls cost only a few yuan, and the prices are so low that it's jaw-dropping. I had to return fully loaded.
In just four days, from the faint light of dawn to the beginning of the night, I felt the historical traces of this ancient city in the streets and alleys, felt its endless life, and felt its brilliance.
