Depart from Baoding city center – Dajidian – arrive in Mancheng District, Baoding – Shizigou – Xiulan Cultural Park
📍 Dajidian Village, Jiangcheng Township, Jingxiu District, Baoding City
Living by the water, tilling the fields,
it represents our deepest emotional attachment.
Clean and tidy streets, an ancient waterwheel,
a rippling river,
the ruins of Xicihang Temple and Taishan Palace,
and a well-preserved ancient opera stage built in the 16th year of the Guangxu reign (1890)...
All tell the history here.

accompanied by ancient history,
creating a breathtaking tranquility.

Shizigou in winter is quite serene.
If you think there's nothing here but
lonely persimmon trees,
you're missing out.
Scoop a spoonful of frozen persimmon into your mouth –
the icy crunch and the fruit's natural sweetness
bring an indescribable freshness and thrill.
Persimmons tempered by mountain winds and sunshine
transform gloriously into dried persimmons.
Bite gently –
soft, chewy, and satisfying.
