Baiyangdian is located in central Hebei Province. The driving distance from Beijing urban area and Tianjin urban area is about 140 kilometers respectively. It is an ideal destination for short weekend trips in Beijing-Tianjin area. Here, there are endless reed marshes with waterways crisscrossing among them. The environment is beautiful. In July every year, a large area of lotus blossoms open, which is extremely beautiful.


Several major scenic spots have been built in the scenic area. There are not only natural scenery with water and lotus blossoms as the main body, but also humanistic buildings with the background of anti-Japanese history. There are also performance projects and so on, with rich contents. In addition, there are many farmhouses in the scenic area. You can taste river delicacies, eat lotus roots, watch fishing and experience a leisurely life in a water town.


The Baiyangdian scenic area is relatively large, with a depth of dozens of kilometers inside. There are some small islands in the lake area, which have been developed into several major scenic areas. There is no access between the small islands and the land. You can only go there by cruise ship. So you need to take a boat when entering the Baiyangdian scenic area. Starting from Anxin Wharf in Baiyangdian, here is also the location of the scenic area gate.


You need to pay the lake entrance fee (equivalent to the main entrance ticket) and rent a boat here. Renting a boat is very convenient. There are various sizes of boats, including speedboats and small wooden boats. Generally, chartering a four-person rowboat costs about 150 yuan a day and can take tourists to various scenic spots without time limit. A speedboat costs about 40-60 yuan per hour. If you stay at a local farmhouse, you don’t need to rent a boat.


The owner of the farmhouse can pick you up by boat and take you to various scenic spots. The boat fare is generally included in the accommodation fee. Sometimes it can also help you save the lake entrance fee, which is much more economical than renting a boat alone. Now there are scenic spots such as Lotus Grand View Garden, Exotic Amusement Park, Baiyangdian Cultural Garden, Yuanfei Lotus Garden, Baiyangdian Treasure Island, Fisherman’s Paradise, Leisure Island, Yuanyang Island and other scenic spots in the scenic area.


The contents of these scenic spots are mostly repetitive and do not need to be visited all. Generally, tourists don’t have enough time. Two to three scenic spots are enough. Lotus Grand View Garden, Exotic Amusement Park and Baiyangdian Cultural Garden are relatively famous scenic spots in the scenic area. You can choose according to your own interests. Lotus Grand View Garden is a famous scenic spot in Baiyangdian.


There are hundreds of kinds of lotus flowers at home and abroad. It is a lotus garden with a large scale and a large number of lotus flowers in China. Coming here in July every year, the lotus blossoms in full ponds are open. It is a good place for viewing and photography. In recent years, the Grand View Garden has also introduced the world’s largest lotus flower, Victoria amazonica. The lotus leaves are like huge jade plates with a diameter of more than one meter.


They can bear children standing on the lotus leaves, which is very special. Exotic Amusement Park is a park mainly featuring performances. Here, you can watch performances such as crocodile fighting, lion hunting, Thai songs and dances, tightrope walking, and there are also projects such as haunted houses and exotic carnivals (some will be charged separately).
