When two people travel together, they must make plans side by side instead of making decisions alone. Otherwise, the trip will turn unpleasant, and conflicts may even arise. Therefore, it is best to discuss everything through mutual consultation. I will recommend several wonderful spots for couples, and you can figure out your own travel plans as you see fit.

As one of the Eight Great Sights of Baoding, the Ancient Lotus Pond is a top recommendation. Strolling through this place steeped in culture and history with your partner delivers a unique experience. If you are used to typical romantic venues, try this distinctive atmosphere instead. You may even discover your partner’s hidden cultural attainments, which will add extra charm and deepen your bond. Do not miss every highlight here: Lianchi Academy, Gentleman’s Longevity Hall, and the stele carving corridor.

A national 5A-level tourist attraction, Baiyangdian charges reasonable admission fees of only 40 RMB. It is worth noting that certain sub-attractions inside require separate tickets, but you may skip them, as plenty of free scenic spots are equally delightful. Mandarin Duck Island is my strongest recommendation for couples. Mandarin ducks are a classic symbol of everlasting love, making this island the perfect spot for lovers to visit hand in hand. Other must-see sites include Wenhua Garden, Fisherman’s Paradise, and the Grand Lotus Garden.

Located in the development zone, Jingxiu Park boasts convenient transportation and picturesque scenery that shines all year round. In spring, a riot of fragrant flowers blooms, including winter jasmine, peach blossoms and pear blossoms competing in beauty. In summer, visitors can cool off at the Wind-Enjoying Pavilion, which overlooks the entire park. Four separate scenic areas can be reached by walking downhill from the pavilion. There is also an entertaining water park on-site. Remember to pack an extra set of clothes if you plan to play there.
