Unmissable Scenic Spots Around Baoding
No.1 Recommendation: Lotus Grand View Garden
After arriving in Baoding, I highly recommend visiting the Lotus Grand View Garden. It boasts an extensive collection of lotus varieties and ranks as the tourist attraction with the largest lotus planting area nationwide. Complete supporting services are available on site. If you feel tired or hungry during your tour, you can refresh yourself and take a rest in the catering area.
Walk along the lotus-viewing bridges to admire rare lotus cultivars. You can even see giant South American Victoria amazonica pads capable of supporting several kilograms of weight, hailed as the king of all water lilies.
No.2 Recommendation: Yesanpo Scenic Area
Next up is Yesanpo. It enjoys a superior geographic location with highly accessible transportation. Its unique natural landscapes are shaped by special geological structures. Besides distinctive scenic spots, visitors can watch the exclusive historical dance performance Impression Yesanpo and taste authentic farmhouse cuisine while sightseeing.
Do note that the temperature varies greatly between day and night here, so remember to bring extra clothes in a timely manner.
No.3 Recommendation: Baili Gorge Scenic Area
Baili Gorge, known as "The No.1 Gorge Under Heaven", is another must-see. Its core highlights are natural scenery including precipitous valleys and graceful peaks, alongside rare structurally formed barrier valley landforms. The elegant mountains and streams stretch like a gorgeous landscape scroll painting. Wandering along the pebble-paved paths adds plenty of fun to your trip.
Even in the sweltering summer, Baili Gorge stays pleasantly cool, making it an ideal summer retreat.
