A nanny-level guide to Man Valley vacation town in Benxi, Northeast China
You can start from Shenyang, take the expressway at Shenyang East Toll Station, go through Shen-Ji Expressway and Fu-Tong Expressway, surrounded by green mountains and grasslands with unique scenery. Just 3 minutes off the toll station, you'll arrive at Huanren Man Valley vacation town. Check-in at the town center, where shuttle buses are available. We stayed in a treehouse on the mountain, and by calling the front desk, shuttle buses were readily available. The staff were super friendly and the environment is amazing!
The European style of the town is super dreamy, with green grass, blue sky, and rolling green hills. There are churches, castles, and even a swimming pool. When tired, you can enjoy the hot springs!
Lights on at 7:30 pm, there's a bonfire and fireworks, making it a romantic and comfortable exclusive area.
It's cooler on the mountain at night, so bring a jacket and long pants!
Town restaurant:
Breakfast is from 7 to 9 am, buffet style.
For lunch and dinner, you can choose iron pot stew, camping BBQ, with local Northeastern dishes like pig slaughter dish, sauerkraut blood sausage, which are Northeastern specialties. The flavors are strong and portions are generous! There's also peach crispy meat and lotus leaf beef with potato slices that taste great!
It's recommended to dine outdoors, enjoying Northeastern cuisine amidst European scenery, which is both beautiful and fitting.
The restaurant is open until nine at night, and there's a supermarket nearby where you can buy water and snacks!
Accommodation:
Treehouse features:
Attention, this is my dream house. We came specifically for the treehouse, which comes in various types: for two, three, or four to six people, all villa-style with a welcome fruit plate including persimmons, grapes, and cherries, etc.
The first floor has a hot spring, and the front desk will inform you of the water filling times, complete with rest chairs and a swing
The second floor is the guest room, clean and cozy, with mosquito repellent provided. It's close to Maple Valley and Tiger Valley Gorge, just a few minutes' drive away.
You can also head to Kuandian, not far from Liaoning's 'Baizhangji' Qingshangou. You can choose to visit together!
Vacation town activities:
Enjoy hot springs, both outdoor and indoor, bring your own swimsuit, there are also hot spring rooms. Basketball and football fields are next to each other, in front of the church.
Water play area, suitable for children, it's recommended to inquire about the pool cleaning schedule. For adults, I recommend taking photos in the transparent boats
