Have Fun in Baoding | Lianxiang Taihang Water Town Has Everything You Want~

The frantic city life

Busy with work and study every day

When can we slow down

and live for ourselves?

Perhaps it’s time to give yourself a relaxing journey

No stress, no burdens

Just quietly experience the most beautiful town

and return to the true essence of life.

Today, let me take you into one of the first batch of the most beautiful towns in the country

and feel a different charm.

Love for ancient Chinese towns and dreamy villages, love for sitting by the slow ferry, watching the silk-like rain weave long sky and clear water, and savoring the ancient melancholy of misty, rain-drenched Jiangnan;

Watching the river flow, listening to the creak of oars, seeing the grey bricks, black tiles, and old windows; those yellow mud walls, occasionally adorned with green trees and red windows, seem to whisper stories of the past...

Ancient Taihang buildings and dwellings with old bricks and tiles are built by the water. Set against fresh air, blue sky and white clouds, green rippling waves, and drooping willows, it feels like a hidden paradise.

The town’s romance is scattered over the rolling rooftops of blue tiles and among the flickering shadows of red walls and trees. When autumn wind passes, red leaves fill every lane, golden hues between red and green, and the grey bricks and black tiles become lively and vibrant.

The town’s most beautiful spots are hidden in the hutong alleys, where walls frame rich autumn colors, making perfect photo spots.

Recline on a wooden rattan chair, waiting for the lingering aroma of mountain tea. Use your footsteps to echo through the Water Town’s alleys, and your palms to feel its lively atmosphere.

Teahouses, opera stages, hand weaving, twelve workshops, intangible cultural heritage... and also bars, coffee shops, juice houses, all exceptionally rustic.

Stone slabs snuggle beside the little bridge,

Flowing water embraces the wooden boat,

Get thoroughly drunk on the charm of the ancient town at night.

Lanterns glow one by one, quiet and composed. At night, the Water Town is so still that only the murmur of water remains. Suddenly, a feeling of returning home arises, that warmth of family.

The Water Town focuses on integrating agriculture, culture, and tourism. It features a rich Taihang experience, a functional area blending agricultural tertiary industries, and a regional destination for leisure and vacation. It combines various elements into one Chinese-style rural town: tasting authentic snacks, staying in original village guesthouses, touring Taihang’s beauty, buying local produce, experiencing farm life, and enjoying rural folk customs.

Here, the scenery is pleasant all year round, like a beautiful landscape painting. As visitors say, every day at the Water Town is a one-of-a-kind experience! We can still walk very long paths and tell of deep, deep longings, and go find those roads, mountains, and fields that once appeared in our dreams!
