Today, Bian Xiao suddenly searched Baidu for "How to evaluate Baoding?"

In Zhihu's first article, someone commented: "The glorious years you can imagine in Hebei Province are all related to him."

Let's talk about Baoding. This is an ancient city with a strong cultural atmosphere and a strong sense of history. Baoding has his unique temperament.

First of all, Baoding is located in the temperate monsoon climate zone, with heavy and concentrated precipitation in July and August in summer and cold and dry in winter (but it will snow from time to time to alleviate the drought). Generally speaking, its climate characteristics are similar to those of Beijing. Compared with the western regions, it is more suitable for human habitation. (regardless of the smog factor, hehehe)

Second, Baoding has a profound cultural heritage and a long history. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Baoding was located in the south of Yan and the north of Zhao, which was a battleground for military strategists. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Baoding was the main battlefield of Song and Liao countries. After the Yuan Dynasty made Beijing its capital, Baoding's position became more prominent. The Qing Dynasty was the capital of Zhili Province, and after the founding of New China, it was twice the capital of Hebei Province.

Baoding has a strong cultural atmosphere and many colleges and universities. There are Hebei University, North China Electric Power University, Central Judicial Police University, Hebei Agricultural University and Hebei Finance College.

Baoding also has a unique place, that is, from Heda to Baoding No.3 Middle School, which covers a person's way of studying, from kindergarten to university, and they are all good schools, that is to say, you can go to school for more than 20 years without running three blocks!

I always feel that I am not from Baoding if I don't talk about food.

Baoding is the "gourmet capital" in northern China and the main birthplace of Hebei cuisine. In recent years, the catering industry in Baoding has blossomed, forming a series of Hebei cuisines represented by Baoding Guild Hall and Gourmet Mountain. Hot pot series represented by golden chopsticks, old city roots and tripod poles; Western-style West Point series represented by star-rated hotels, green pavilions and Daoxiang Village; Traditional characteristic series represented by Qifangge, Hui Ze Garden and Laojiefang; Fast food series represented by big dipper and good taste; A series of special banquets, such as fish banquet, donkey banquet, tofu banquet, full palace banquet and all-sheep banquet. Famous specialties include donkey meat, candied haws and beef patties. Special drinks include drunkenness, Baoding Wang wine and so on.

Baoding people like to eat, love to eat and enjoy. What they eat is not more dignified, but the kind of old shop that has been passed down from mouth to mouth for thousands of years. They may have a bad environment and a lack of service attitude, but good food is enough.

Baiyangdian, Ran Zhuang Tunnel War, Yesanpo, Liulingzui Scenic Area and other tourist attractions are numerous. It can be summarized in four sentences: "One article, one martial art, one official, two mountains, two waters, two tombs, one wine, one window, one column, two temples and ten cities."

Curious friends can find out where the scenic spots here represent.

Let's talk about traffic Baoding is located at the eastern foot of North Taihang Mountain and the west of Jizhong Plain. North latitude 3810'-40 00', east longitude113 40'-16 20'. It connects Beijing and Zhangjiakou in the north, Langfang and Cangzhou in the east, Shijiazhuang and Hengshui in the south and Shanxi Province in the west. The city center is 0/40km away from Beijing/Kloc-0 in the north, 0/45km away from Tianjin/Kloc-0 in the east and 0/25km away from Shijiazhuang/Kloc-0 in the southwest, which can directly reach the Capital Airport, Zhengding Airport and Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Huanghua and other seaports. Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Beijing-Kunming Expressway, 107 National Highway, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, Baojin Expressway, Binbao Expressway, Baocang Expressway and Zhangshi Expressway make Baoding have a transportation network extending in all directions. Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, Wurong Expressway, Beijing-Kunming Expressway and Baocang-Fu Bao Expressway are interconnected around Baoding, forming a high-speed outer ring. Beijing-Shijiazhuang Passenger Dedicated Line (high-speed railway) and Jinbao Intercity Railway (high-speed railway) will realize the bus connection from 30 minutes to Beijing and 40 minutes to Tianjin, further consolidating their location status and becoming important railway transportation hub ports in North China.

Then, the overall atmosphere of Baoding, the pace of people's life, is very slow. You can go and have a look. During working hours on Monday, there are many people shopping, queuing to buy Sugar-Coated Berry's products and queuing to eat. Baoding's economy may be developed, but people's pursuit of quality of life is absolutely front-end!

Baoding is not as developed as it used to be, but such an underdeveloped Baoding has the flavor of an ancient capital, without the hustle and bustle of a metropolis and the leisurely pace of life.

Do you love Baoding so much?
