Zhangjiakou Travel: Experience the genuine simplicity of Xuanhua Ancient City.

Speaking of Hebei, my first impression was Beidaihe, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to drive to Xuanhua this time. It feels like a very peaceful city. In a corner of the city center, there is such a place to rest your feet. The warmth that comes to you is full of Xuanhua's simplicity and enthusiasm.
I arrived at the hotel in the evening. It seems that the surrounding area is very lively and brightly lit. Although the city is small, there is still a lot of traffic on the road.
Xuanhua Ancient City is adjacent to Jingjin in the east and Jinmeng in the west. It has a unique topography and landform and is rich in natural resources such as land, minerals, and surface and underground water.
Take a plane or train to Beijing, and then rent a car to Xuanhua. It only takes up to 2 hours, which is especially convenient.
I have never seen so many people in a People's Park. I chose a few angles and selected a few areas to capture these pure spring scenes.
This park is built along the city wall, and there is a section of the restored city wall that you can climb to see a panoramic view of the park. Adjacent to it is the ancient earthen city wall, which is covered with plants, showing the vicissitudes of history.
At the foot of the city wall, there are clusters of flowers, rippling blue waves, pavilions chasing shadows, and light boats floating. The Su Garden, built in a corner of the park, is like a scene of Jiangnan scenery. The bamboo forest path is quiet and leisurely, giving people a sense of being in a water town.
The weather was good during the day, and it was close to People's Park, so I went shopping with my good friends. There were many grandparents in it, and there were quite a lot of people in the morning, all of whom came to take a walk.
Tickets to Xuanhua People's Park are free. You can go out for a walk when you have nothing to do at night. The scenery is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. Moreover, the prices of the recreational programs inside are not high, which can evoke many childhood memories. It is now open to everyone for free.
There is a very small zoo and aquarium in the park, with some animals in it, but unfortunately the environment is too bad.
Starting from the hotel, I kept seeing city gates along the way, and also passed the most lively commercial street in the city. In early spring, Xuanhua has many dead leaves decorating the city gate, which has a very old beauty.
At noon, I went to a very distinctive restaurant and had many local Xuanhua dishes, which suited the taste of northerners very well.
