The Shanwaiyuan Duyichu Farmhouse is situated in the Xishenggou National AAA Scenic Area, 38 km north of Tang County, Baoding City. The scenic area is a 14-li (approx. 7 km) gorge, where flying springs and waterfalls abound, streams flow all year round, and nine picturesque dragon pools are scattered throughout. The steep cliffs are adorned with countless stalactites in various shapes, while azaleas, crabapples, kudzu vines, and shrubs fill the valley, creating a scene reminiscent of southern China.
Baoding cuisine is northern-style, rich and full-bodied. The inn's specialties include stewed free-range chicken, braised wild rabbit, and wild badger, along with a variety of fresh wild greens and farmhouse dishes. All are delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant can seat up to 200 diners.
