The former residence of Li Hongzhang |
If cultural scenery is more suitable to your taste, then a visit to the historical and cultural landscapes of the city beckons. The most famous one is called Memorial Temple of Lord Bao which is located south of the city center in Baohe Park. It is built to the memory of Bao Zheng, a well-known honorable officer of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). The Memorial Temple of Lord Bao is a typical architectural complex built in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
As a result of its important historical strategic position, it is an area of contention among the local powers. Another cultural destination worth a visit is 'Xiaoyaojin (Leisure Ford)' a famous battlefield of the Three Kingdom Period (220 - 280) and can best elaborate its strategic importance. In this scenic area there is the Xiaoyao Lake, the Bridge of the Flying Cavalier, the Three Isles in the lake, and the Cangyou Garden.
The Former Residence of Li Hongzhang is another cultural destination which is a well preserved former home in the city. It is a typical residence of the south during the Qing Dynasty. Li Hongzhang was born in the city and held a civil and military position in the Qing Government. Here you can examine detailed materials that give comprehensive information of this eminent historical person.

The former residence of Li Hongzhang is within 3km away. Li Hongzhang held a civil and military position in the Qing Government. If you are interested, go and visit. Others are a little far, and I know the safari park and botanical garden are both around 10km away.

Do you refer to Wanda Cultural Tourism City? If yes, from downtown area, you can take metro line 1 to Bingzipu Station, Exit D. After arriving, walk northeast to the theme park directy. Hope helpful!

You may spend the whole Saturday in Sanhe Ancient City, and even spend a night there. It is a beautiful watertown and you can see distinctive buildings there.
On Sunday morning, go back to downtown area and tour around the Memorial Temple of Lord Bao.

Oh, I know one named as Silk Road West Region Culture Theme Restaurant that is about 0.8 miles away from the hotel. It has authentic halal foods and comfortable environment. The address is Southside, 330 yards westwards to the intersection of Wanhe Road and Qianshan Road. Hope you like. You can just take a taxi to get to. The cab fare is CNY 10 to 15 in the day time. :-)
