Gentle Winter Days in Taierzhuang | A 2-Day, 1-Night Leisurely Trip to the Ancient City❄️

Just a 4-hour high-speed train ride from Beijing, you can travel to this thousand-year-old city by the canal. Taierzhuang's day and night are two different worlds, with ancient charm and dazzling lights alternating, like a romantic journey through time and space✨

【Itinerary Highlights】
📍Grand Canal Transport Museum: The first stop to learn about ancient canal culture. It's recommended to hire a guide (30 RMB/time).
📍Tianhou Palace Square: There's an ancient style performance at 3 PM daily. The red walls and black tiles are super photogenic.
📍Fuxing Tower Light Show: A must-visit when night falls. The water screen light and shadow show starting on the hour is truly stunning.

【Travel Route】
Day 1: Arrive by high-speed train → Enter the ancient city from the West Gate → Canal Transport Wharf boat tour (60 RMB/person one-way) → Yuehe Street food → Check into an inn inside the ancient city → Night tour of Fuxing Tower
Day 2: Morning stroll on the flagstone paths → Taizhuangyi Republic of China Style Street → Boat-shaped Street handicraft experience → Return in the afternoon

【In-depth Experience Tips】
√ It's recommended to stay in a Ming and Qing style inn within the ancient city. The "Zhengshengyuan" we stayed in had a view of small bridges and flowing water right outside the window.
√ The first "Daylily Beef Noodles" shop after entering from the West Gate offers a super large bowl for 15 RMB. The soup base is made from stewed daylilies.
√ If you come in February, you can also experience the Ancient City New Year Festival, with lanterns hanging high creating a special atmosphere.

【For those visiting in winter】
▫️Sneakers are more comfortable for the ancient city's flagstone paths.
▫️Remember to bring a thick coat due to large temperature differences between morning and evening.
▫️For night scene photography, it's recommended to bring a phone fill light.
