Original date: May 1, 2022, 10:58

Location: Hebei Cui Ping Shan Guesthouse

Pandemic Information (Updated on April 23, changes quickly, will be notified separately):

  • Due to the current travel restrictions in various places, to avoid unnecessary trouble for the guests, the wedding is postponed. The new date is not yet determined and will be notified separately. We hope for your understanding. If you have already booked a flight ticket, please contact me for reimbursement of the ticket refund.
  • According to the current pandemic prevention and control policy in Shijiazhuang, you need to hold a negative nucleic acid test within 48 hours and a green Hebei health code to enter Shijiazhuang; you also need a travel card without asterisks to enter Cui Ping Shan Guesthouse.
  • On April 18, Luquan District of Shijiazhuang City issued an announcement requiring the number of wedding attendees not to exceed 50 people. As of April 23, this policy has not changed. To ensure the quality of the wedding, it is decided to postpone it.
  • Beijing and Hefei are currently all low-risk areas. If the travel card of Beijing or Hefei carries an asterisk (indicating medium to high-risk areas) during the wedding and the pandemic prevention and control policy in Shijiazhuang does not change, the wedding will be postponed.
  • The University of Science and Technology of China currently restricts students and teachers from leaving Hefei, Taiyuan City currently restricts leaving the city, and Gujiao City currently restricts return after leaving the city. After assessment, it is unlikely that this policy will be relaxed before May 1.
  • Shijiazhuang is currently all low-risk areas. On April 5, Luquan District added 1 new confirmed case of COVID-19, and Jinzhou City added 4 asymptomatic infections (for reference only, subject to official information). Due to the strict restrictions on people with a history of living in counties (cities, districts, flags) with 1 or more local COVID-19 infections within 14 days from entering (returning to) Beijing, if new cases appear in Luquan District after April 17, the wedding will be postponed.
  • Shijiazhuang currently requires another nucleic acid test for stays over 48 hours. The information about the nucleic acid testing sites near Cui Ping Shan Guesthouse will be updated.

Transportation Information: Hebei Cui Ping Shan Guesthouse is located at No. 1 Yingbin Road, Luquan District, Shijiazhuang City.

  • The nearest route from Shijiazhuang High-speed Railway Station is 16 kilometers, and the elevated route is 22 kilometers. It takes about 35 minutes by car without traffic.
  • It is 53 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport, and it takes about 50 minutes by car without traffic.
  • Public transportation: Since Cui Ping Shan Guesthouse is located in the western suburbs, there is no subway. From Shijiazhuang High-speed Railway Station, you can take bus 320/air 320 directly (need to walk 1.3 kilometers), which takes 1 hour and 20 minutes; or take subway line 3 to subway line 1 to tourist bus 5, which takes 1 hour and 10 minutes. From Zhengding Airport, you can take airport bus line 1 to subway line 1 to tourist bus 5, which takes 2 hours and 10 minutes.
  • The taxi queue at Shijiazhuang High-speed Railway Station is very long after 22:00, it is recommended to contact us for pick-up in advance.
  • Since the wedding officially starts at 10:58, it is recommended to arrive in Shijiazhuang on April 30. If you are tight on time from Beijing, you can also consider taking the early high-speed train on May 1 (5 shifts from 06:26 to 08:34), and we will arrange pick-up (but the nucleic acid testing policy and queuing time for exiting the station are unknown, so it is not recommended to time it). Considering the 48-hour validity period of the nucleic acid test, if you do the nucleic acid test in the afternoon of April 29, get the result in the early morning of April 30, it can still be used for return travel by car or plane in the afternoon of May 1.

Zhengding Ancient City is located in the north of Shijiazhuang, including Longxing Temple (Big Buddha Temple), Rongguo Mansion (TV shooting location of “Dream of the Red Chamber”), Zhengding Ancient City Wall and so on. It can be played for a day, 40 kilometers away from Cuiping Mountain Guest House, about a 50-minute drive.
