A hidden gem town near Beijing, understand a millennium in one day in Qian'an

Discovered this treasure town by chance in Hebei!
Qian'an, a place that perfectly blends profound history, modern plans, and natural landscapes.
In one day, from the museum’s historical corridor, to the planning exhibition hall’s future blueprint, and then to Xuanyuan Pavilion’s cultural peak, I had a perfect time-travel experience in Qian'an!

📜 Itinerary
Qian'an Museum ➡️ Qian'an City Planning Exhibition Hall ➡️ Huangtai Mountain Park ➡️ Xuanyuan Pavilion

✅ Qian'an Museum
A treasure museum open for free! The “round sky and square earth” architecture is very stylish.
Inside, it feels like a time tunnel, from the ancient Yellow Emperor legends, folk customs, to exquisite intangible cultural heritage crafts. Walking through it feels like traveling through Qian'an’s long history.
✅ Qian'an City Planning Exhibition Hall
Step into Qian'an’s present and future at the planning hall! Immersed in a theater-style model show, the Luan River flows in light and shadow, and the city blueprint unfolds before your eyes, like watching a sci-fi blockbuster about urban development!
✅ Huangtai Mountain Park
Walk straight into this green space right after the planning hall! Stroll along the tree-lined path, the Luan River sparkling under the sunlight. Every snapshot is a healing scene, just perfect to relieve the fatigue from museum visits.
✅ Xuanyuan Pavilion
Reaching the top is truly worth it! Standing on the top floor of Xuanyuan Pavilion, the modern city and the ancient Luan River intertwine under the sunset. This is the legendary capital of the Yellow Emperor. At that moment, the dialogue between ancient and modern feels like truly touching the millennium-old cultural heritage.
