Limei Terrace Becomes the R&D Base for “Anli Banquet” Dishes On November 26, the 2016 International Health Forum, along with the Gastronomy and Health Summit and the launch ceremony of the Anli Banquet dish‑development project, was grandly held at the Yuyang Hotel in Jizhou District, Tianjin. Numerous distinguished guests—including representatives from news media, top chefs, conference participants, and clients—from Beijing and Tianjin attended this prestigious event. This press conference was jointly hosted by the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Association, the Beijing Sub‑Health Prevention and Treatment Association, and Beijing Kangnuoyijian Health Technology Co., Ltd., with co‑organization by Kangnuoyijian (Tianjin) Tourism Service Co., Ltd. and the China Chefs Association, and supported by Tianjin Limeitai Tourism Co., Ltd. The summit invited numerous authoritative experts and several media outlets to jointly explore the integration of Jizhou’s Anli pears with gourmet cuisine, thereby boosting the development of Jizhou’s tourism industry. The research and development of Jizhou Anli pears represents a cross‑sectoral integration of gastronomy, health, and tourism, aiming to create a landmark culinary culture that holds significant importance for advancing both public health and Jizhou’s tourism sector. During the conference, the organizers and guests reviewed the evolution of Jizhou Anli pears, witnessed the progress of developing the Anli Banquet, and created opportunities for exchange and learning. Over the course of one year, the organizers meticulously screened more than 7,000 chefs nationwide, ultimately selecting 100 outstanding chefs. Each chef developed three signature dishes, which were then evaluated by 200 prominent figures from various sectors serving as industry representatives. From a pool of 300 dishes, 100 were chosen to form the “Anli Banquet.” The “Anli Banquet” will become a renowned culinary brand that encapsulates the finest contributions of chefs across the country, making it highly valuable for further development and cultural preservation. Jizhou District in Tianjin is known as the “Backyard Garden of Beijing and Tianjin,” boasting fertile soil and excellent water quality. It has been designated as a National Ecological Demonstration County and China’s first Green Food Demonstration Zone. Anli pears—also known as sour pears—are a unique variety native to the Yanshan region. With their distinctly tart flavor, they possess high nutritional value and significant medicinal benefits, particularly in relieving phlegm, generating body fluids, clearing heat, and extinguishing internal fire. Jizhou’s abundant production of Anli pears enjoys nationwide acclaim. Beijing Kangnuoyijian Company is committed to cultivating Anli pear culture. The vision is clear: visitors to Jizhou should savor the Anli Banquet, and those who come to Jizhou specifically for this experience will help make this aspiration a reality. The Anli Banquet has been registered as the “Jizhou Anli Banquet” trademark, and an Anli Banquet development team has been established. Renowned chefs from across the national catering industry are collaborating to design dishes that highlight the distinctive flavors and characteristics of Anli pears, carefully selecting key ingredients, seasonings, and preparation methods. Together, they aim to craft an Anli Banquet that combines visual appeal, exquisite taste, health benefits, and spiritual rejuvenation, thus establishing a landmark culinary tradition for Tianjin’s Jizhou district. The development of Jizhou Anli pears exemplifies a cross‑industry integration of gastronomy, health, and tourism, creating a distinctive local food culture that plays a crucial role in promoting both public health and the growth of Jizhou’s tourism sector. The “2016 International Health Forum and Gastronomy & Health Summit,” together with the launch ceremony of the Anli Banquet development project, received strong recognition and robust support from all levels of leadership at Limeitai Tourism Co., Ltd. Leveraging the scenic area’s superior water resources, abundant Anli pear supply, and rich cultural heritage, Limeitai was ultimately designated as the official R&D base for the Anli Banquet dishes.

Limutai hosted the 2016 National Mass Mountain Climbing and Fitness Conference, creating a new integrated experience that blends sports and tourism.

2016-10-25

Limei Terrace hosted the 2016 National Mass Mountain Climbing and Fitness Conference, creating a new experience that seamlessly integrates sports and tourism. With the starting gun, thousands of runners surged from the starting line, marching energetically toward the mountains and forests. Each participant radiated enthusiasm and vitality. Their pink race uniforms made their lively figures even more dazzling, forming a winding red wave that, together with the autumn hues of yellow and green, created the most beautiful scenery of this season at Limei Terrace. This was the scene on October 22nd at Limei Terrace during the “2016 National Mass Mountain Climbing and Fitness Conference,” where over 2,000 outdoor sports enthusiasts from across the country gathered, igniting a nationwide fitness movement. Among the participants were robust young adults, energetic middle-aged individuals, sprightly seniors, and lively children. Competing in single-person, mixed-team, and family categories, they displayed remarkable skill despite their varying ages. Several silver-haired elderly men completed the full 10-kilometer course in just a few dozen minutes. One of them, still eager for more after crossing the finish line, continued running downhill—by the time he had covered another kilometer, the main group had only just arrived. His impressive physical condition left even the younger competitors admiringly impressed. A few teenagers also emerged as unexpected standouts in this event. Initially joining simply for fun, they explored the forest trails alongside their parents—but unexpectedly secured top rankings. Some even outran the adults, arriving early at the finish line to wait for their families. Many participants came from various mountain-climbing clubs, making these events feel second nature to them. Whether it was their gear, their stride, or their spirited demeanor, they added a striking visual element to the competition. On the day of the climbing conference, Limei Terrace enjoyed clear skies after the rain, with high blue skies, crisp air, and wispy white clouds. The fresh scent filled the atmosphere, while the leaves in the mountains turned golden with hints of red, exuding the rich charm of late autumn and leaving visitors spellbound. As participants chased one another through the race, they simultaneously marveled at the scenic autumn beauty surrounding them—an experience distinctly different from ordinary running or fitness activities. The vast open sky, vibrant mountain landscapes, and clean, refreshing air seemed to infuse both body and spirit with an extraordinary vitality. Everyone felt rejuvenated inside and out, brimming with energy from head to toe—something no typical athletic competition could offer. This year’s event also served as the Tianjin Mountain Sports Conference and the second Limei Terrace Mountain Climbing Competition. The program featured a variety of exciting activities: in addition to the mass mountain-climbing event on the 22nd, two professional competitions—the mountain bike uphill race and the mountain trail run—kicked off on the 23rd. Among them, the mountain bike uphill race drew particular attention. Over 70 riders pedaled along the scenic sightseeing route, tackling an 8-kilometer uphill climb before finishing with a 2-kilometer hike. Along the way, their stylish appearances and expert riding skills captivated many spectators, who eagerly pulled out their phones to snap photos and share them on social media. During the day, participants traversed Limei Terrace’s colorful mountain forests, sweating it out and showcasing their health and vitality. At night, under the starry sky, they lit bonfires, played music, and danced joyfully around the flames. From elders to children, every happy face was illuminated by the warm glow of the fire, filling the mountainside with laughter and merriment until well past midnight. Today, more and more citizens are eager to connect with nature, venture into the mountains, and engage in outdoor recreational and fitness activities. The mountain-climbing conference represents Limei Terrace’s effort to better meet public demand for integrating sports and tourism, creating a novel “sports + tourism” model that combines spectacle, experiential appeal, practicality, and fun. This not only helps unlock the scenic area’s potential but also provides participants with an unparalleled leisure-and-sports experience.

2016-10-20

“Bailühui” Lands in Tianjin: Limutai—Your First Choice for Fun Day Trips On October 19, the launch ceremony of the “Bailühui Tianjin Branch,” a national tourism service brand for middle-aged and elderly travelers under the slogan “Live to Be a Hundred, Travel the World,” was held at Zhongguancun e‑Valley (Nankai) Creative World. During the event, the establishment of the Bailühui Tianjin Branch—a membership club dedicated to middle-aged and elderly tourists—was announced, and the preliminary auditions for the first China Middle-Aged and Elderly Tourism Spring Festival Gala in the Tianjin region officially kicked off. This initiative not only represents a major strategic decision by Tongcheng Travel aimed at the leisure travel market but also marks another significant step following the company’s entry into Tianjin. Tongcheng Travel’s Bailühui Tianjin Branch Established; Preliminary Auditions for the First China Middle-Aged and Elderly Tourism Spring Festival Gala Launched in Tianjin “The establishment of ‘Bailühui’ signifies a major shift for Tongcheng Travel—from focusing on product offerings to prioritizing user engagement—and reflects an effort to refine community-based operations and services tailored to travel consumers,” said Cui Zhongliang, General Manager of Tongcheng Travel’s North China Region. “By launching ‘Bailühui’ in Tianjin, we aim to collaborate with high-quality suppliers and partners to better serve middle-aged and elderly residents in the city.” According to the latest statistics released by the Tianjin Municipal Aging Affairs Office, as of the end of 2015, the number of registered residents aged 60 and above in Tianjin reached 2.3037 million, accounting for 22.43% of the city’s total population. In other words, roughly one out of every five people is an elderly citizen. Tianjin’s level of population aging surpasses the national average, ranking third nationwide after Shanghai and Beijing. “How to enrich the lives of seniors has become a pressing concern for society as a whole. Through our comprehensive expansion of middle-aged and elderly tourism services, focused attention on this market segment, and exploration of innovative approaches within the senior care industry, we aspire to transform ‘Bailühui’ into a thriving community that brings quality tourism and happiness to China’s middle-aged and elderly population,” added Cui Zhongliang. The Bailühui Tianjin Branch presented certificates to its inaugural group of honorary members. Cao Dongdong, General Manager of Tongcheng Travel’s Tianjin branch, stated, “Following the establishment of the Bailühui Tianjin Branch, we will leverage our online strengths alongside offline flagship experience stores and integrate them with the ‘Bailühui’ platform. By organizing activities aligned with members’ interests, skills, and hobbies, we will foster a vibrant community atmosphere, offering more programs tailored to the needs of middle-aged and elderly individuals—such as wellness seminars, nature photography outings, calligraphy exchanges, and artistic sharing sessions—thus creating a new lifestyle centered around travel for Tianjin’s senior citizens.” It is worth noting that “Bailühui” primarily targets middle-aged and elderly users registered with Tongcheng Travel. Upon joining, members gain access to a range of personalized services and organized events, including customized tour itineraries, talent competitions, comprehensive health check-ups, travel insurance, exclusive travel magazines, and special perks like “Happy Outings.” The inaugural “Happy Outing” in Tianjin took place at Limutai Natural Scenic Area, renowned as “Tianjin’s Shennongjia.” Limutai Visitor Center Plaza Now, let’s follow along with us to discover the enchanting charm of Limutai.

Liyutai After the Rain—photographed by a visitor on July 26, 2016

2016-10-10

On July 26, 2016, the skies cleared, and we were fortunate to arrive at Limutai Scenic Area. Wow—here, the streams rush fiercely, their waters gushing with a steady roar. From afar, the crystal‑clear currents cascade straight down the mountainside, like shimmering ribbons of jade draped over the treetops, truly embodying the saying, “A night of rain in the mountains leaves a hundred springs perched atop the trees.” Bending down for a closer look, the water crashes against the rocks, sending droplets flying in all directions—sparkling and charming, like scattered pearls and shards of jade. This rare spectacle of blue skies and white clouds, verdant hills and emerald streams, this heart‑refreshing mountain landscape, is so captivating that one can hardly bear to leave.

2016-10-09

The “Autumn Charm at Limutai” red‑leaf viewing season has begun, with one free admission for every three visitors. In late autumn, the season resembles an old sage who has weathered countless trials yet remains full of zest; the most captivating touch in its elegant charm is that delicate blush tinged with frost. “Clear mountains, pristine waters—night brings frost; among the trees, deep reds emerge against pale yellows.” Just imagining the fiery hues and vibrant colors scattered throughout the landscape is enough to stir the soul. Find a moment of leisure, let the autumn breeze and sunshine accompany you as you wander through forests where red leaves flutter in the wind—what a truly intoxicating experience! To savor the scenery, you don’t have to travel far. Right here, in Jizhou at Limutai, mountains brimming with red leaves will whisk you away into a dream… As autumn deepens, step into Limutai: from afar, the surrounding peaks seem encircled by a sea of color, while hillsides resemble overturned paint palettes, splashing out shades of orange, yellow, and deep crimson that blanket the entire forest. Hop aboard an open‑top sightseeing vehicle and cruise along winding, smooth trails, passing by a kaleidoscope of maple reds, golden persimmons, and the dark green of pines and cypresses—all blending together in dazzling harmony. Alight and hike through the woods, getting up close and personal with the red leaves. On the trees and on the ground, clusters of crimson foliage abound. As the autumn breeze sweeps through, leaves swirl and drift down, scattering across the stone paths and adorning the mountain trails with a dreamy, intoxicating beauty. Occasionally, a strong gust of wind lifts the fallen leaves high into the sky, and some gently brush past your face, caressing your brow—soft farewells from the leaves themselves. Warm sunlight kisses the treetops, and the lively hues of the red leaves shimmer like gold, spreading outward in radiant waves. This is nature’s own language—a harmonious, intuitive exchange between living things. After several autumn rains, Limutai’s abundant streams have carved out pools, ponds, and cascading waterfalls of all sizes. Beneath the falls and within the pools, the reflections of rustling red leaves dance endlessly. Some leaves drift along with the current, tracing graceful, ink‑like patterns; others are caught by pebbles, their veins washed clean by the gentle flow of water; still others float serenely in quiet pools, frozen in serene compositions alongside bare branches and slender shadows. Perhaps most breathtaking of all is the poetic interplay between stone steps, flowing water, and red leaves: crystal‑clear streams cascade down the stone stairways, occasionally carrying red leaves from one level to the next. In stillness lies motion, and in movement hides tranquility—reaching a state of perfect harmony. Walking through Limutai in the breeze, lift your gaze now and then to see birds perched on branches, gazing into the distance with tranquil grace. And before you know it, you spot squirrels peeking out from the foliage—adorable little creatures that make your heart melt. Here, set aside your worries for a while, like a butterfly freely flitting among blossoms and leaves, chasing a golden glow, encountering bursts of fiery red, listening to the songs of birds and the whispers of the wind, and breathing in the fragrant scents of grasses and fruits… Finally, stand atop the hill and watch the red leaves below ripple like a sea of crimson waves, while dappled sunlight dances playfully among the branches. Amidst this splendor, a quiet, serene radiance emerges. Fall in love with Limutai: the forests, the stone paths, the deep pools… All these magical transformations hold the essence of dreams, proudly revealing their accumulated fragrance to every traveler. It exists right beside our everyday lives, waiting for us to step inside and rediscover the visions we once imagined.

The 24th China “Tianjin Yuyang Golden Autumn Tourism Festival” was solemnly inaugurated at the “Rural Home.”

2016-09-23

“The 24th China ‘Tianjin Yuyang Golden Autumn Tourism Festival’ Officially Opens at ‘Rural Home’” As autumn brings refreshing coolness and the fragrance of countless fruits fills the air, the picturesque land of Yuyang is bathed in scenes of bountiful harvest. On September 22, the elegantly adorned Limutai Scenic Area buzzed with laughter and teeming with visitors, marking the grand opening of the 24th China–Tianjin Yuyang Golden Autumn Tourism Festival, co-hosted by the Tianjin Municipal Tourism Bureau and the Jixian County People’s Government, and sponsored by the Jizhou E‑Commerce Industrial Base under the name “Rural Home.” Concurrent events included the unveiling ceremony for the “Jizhou Gift” brand and a press conference announcing Jixian County’s autumn/winter tourism initiatives. Leaders from the Tianjin Municipal Tourism Bureau and Jixian County, heads of the tourism department of the JD.com Leisure Tourism Demonstration Zone, along with over 300 tourists from Beijing, attended the opening ceremony. The annual Yuyang Golden Autumn Tourism Festival is a key national tourism event and a distinctive local brand of Tianjin. Having successfully held twenty-three editions thus far, it has steadily expanded its influence while continuously enriching its program offerings. It has become an important platform for promoting Jixian County internationally, attracting investment, and showcasing its unique charm, as well as a vibrant “festival of joy” for visitors to Jixian. Located in the northernmost part of Tianjin, within the core area of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, Jixian County boasts a profound cultural heritage and abundant tourism resources. In 2006, it was designated by UNESCO as one of China’s “Millennial Ancient Counties,” and has since earned recognition as a National Garden City, China’s first Green Food Demonstration Zone in the North, one of the first batch of National Demonstration Counties for Leisure Agriculture and Rural Tourism, and a Historic and Cultural City of Tianjin—earning itself the reputation as the “Backyard Garden of Beijing and Tianjin.” In recent years, leveraging its ecological and cultural advantages, Jixian County has vigorously advanced its strategy of “revitalizing the county through tourism,” accelerating the development of a complete tourism industry chain. As a result, its tourism infrastructure continues to improve, service standards have risen markedly, and its tourism and cultural industries are experiencing concentrated growth. Today, the county operates 21 open scenic spots, hosts 33 tourist hotels, maintains 104 municipal-level tourism‑featured villages, supports 1,700 rural tourism businesses, and houses 24 souvenir‑manufacturing facilities, alongside 27 travel agencies and ticket offices. The sector directly employs 15,000 people and indirectly sustains another 75,000, making Jixian one of the most mature tourist destinations in North China. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the county’s tourism industry grew at an average annual rate of 18%; by 2015, it welcomed 18 million tourists, generating revenue of 9.4 billion yuan, firmly establishing tourism as a major pillar of Jixian’s economy. Particularly since this year, Jixian has set a comprehensive goal of developing all‑area tourism, outlining six strategic campaigns centered on strengthening mechanisms to address shortcomings, upgrading infrastructure, and enhancing integration to boost efficiency. Mobilizing the entire county, Jixian is launching a full-scale campaign to transform and upgrade its tourism sector, striving to build a comprehensive all‑area tourism demonstration zone anchored by the Dapan Mountain brand and focusing on three main sectors: mountain‑and‑wilderness sightseeing, high‑end resort experiences, and rural leisure activities—aiming to create a world‑class leisure tourism destination. This year’s festival runs from September 22 to October 22, spanning one month. Throughout this period, aligned closely with the national goal of establishing a model all‑area tourism zone, the event will highlight the theme of industrial integration, presenting more than twenty exciting tourism activities. First, centering on the “Jizhou Gift” brand, the festival will undertake multi‑level consolidation and promotion of Jixian’s tourism products. Selected items—including the Boya Layered Stone Tourist Series, Jizhou Eight Sisters’ Sweet-and-Sour Pickled Garlic, the Yuyang Distillery Tourist Series, Baxianshan, Jixian Fresh Fruit Juices, “Pin Da” Soybean Sauce, Jizhou Blueberries, “Hua Ru Yu” Que Shan Chicken Free‑Range Eggs, Yuan Gu Rock Paintings, and the Jixiangqing Dapan Mountain Specialty Candied Chestnuts and Honghuayu Mulberry Product Line—will be granted the exclusive “Jizhou Gift” designation and undergo in-depth packaging and marketing. Second, the festival will vigorously promote the integration of sports and tourism, hosting events such as the inaugural Jinmen Dapan Mountain International Trail Challenge, the 2016 National Mass Mountain Climbing Fitness Conference (Tianjin Station) combined with the Tianjin Mountain Sports Convention—specifically the second Limutai Mountain Climbing Competition—alongside the third Huangyaguan Great Wall Electronic Music Festival, the Maxinqiao Autumn Harvest Picking Festival, the Xijingyu Autumn Prosperity Feast, and numerous other themed activities focused on autumn picking and viewing red leaves. Third, the festival will emphasize integrated development across the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, inviting tourism authorities from Beijing’s Pinggu District, Hebei’s Sanhe City, Zunhua City, Xinglong County, and other areas within the JD.com Leisure Tourism Demonstration Zone to jointly organize special programs such as “Beijing Residents Explore Jixian,” “Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Media Visit Jixian for Inspiration,” and “Take the Train to Jixian, Ride the Bus to Sightsee.”
