Avoid tourist traps with the Beijing-Qinhuangdao travel guide for a two-day, one-night trip||| If I had to name the city in Hebei I've visited the most, aside from my hometown, it would be Qinhuangdao. I used to think that summer was the only suitable time to go to the beach to enjoy the sun and sand, but ever since I met my girlfriend, I've discovered how beautiful the island is during the off-season. 'So close, so beautiful, weekend trips to Hebei'—Qinhuangdao 🚞: 8:15-11:50 Beijing-Qinhuangdao soft seat💰66.5 (Taking the high-speed train from Beijing is not cost-effective, doesn't feel much faster) 🏨 Accommodation: Jinmeng Bay has many B&Bs (first-line sea view rooms are very nice) ❄️ Off-season: Weekends 200+, winter only 100+ so off-season is really a good deal! 🔥 Peak season: Expect to pay six to seven hundred during the May Day holiday or summer vacation (staying in the Haigang district is more cost-effective‼️) 🚗 Transportation: Taxis and ride-hailing are very convenient and not expensive, if it's close by, riding a shared electric bike is also good. Day 1⃣️: When you're at the seaside, of course, you have to eat seafood, I've personally tried two places that are not bad. Per person 💰100 🦐 Kun Wu Seafood Big Shot: Reasonably priced, an old local shop, a big pot is quite satisfying to eat. 🦀️ Xiao Jie Affordable Seafood: Their mantis shrimps are very large and all alive, very fresh, the spicy crab is also good, the boss and waiters are very nice, and the price is okay. Afternoon ⛲️ Xigang Garden: As Qinhuangdao's version of 'Little Kamakura', Xigang Garden, which used to be an old port, is especially suitable for walking and taking photos📷. Dock, lighthouse, ship, sea, railway, retro buildings, you can think of all the places to take photos. If you're tired, you can also go to a coffee shop to rest. ⛩️ Qinhuang Alley: A place with a local atmosphere at night! 🥔 Mashed Potato Stew: Sticky mashed potatoes with glutinous stew, plus sesame sauce and vinegar, are especially fragrant. 🍜 Fried Noodle Skin: The first time I heard about it on the island, after frying with shredded potatoes, then mixing with sesame sauce and small ingredients, it's especially delicious when dipped in soup. 🧋 Blushing Qin Tian Tian: A local milk tea shop on the island, quaint and tasty, and cheap, with an average price of around 10💰! Day 2️⃣ 🌊 Jinmeng Bay: If the weather is good, you can get up early to watch the sunrise🌅, if you stay by the sea, the beach is right downstairs, friends who live in the city can also come directly, and after watching, you can go to the beach. The island's off-season beach and sea🌊 are super clean, the whole sea is shining, and you can also feed seagulls! Tiffany green from KFC is also there Noon 🌶️ Gele Mountain · Sichuan Small Restaurant: (Exclusive recommendation!) Super delicious Sichuan cuisine on the island, I've been there several times with my girlfriend, close to the seaside, the fragrant spicy chicken, ordinary potato slices are not ordinary at all, glutinous fresh pepper pig's trotters are very tasty! In the afternoon, you can go to the Qinhuangdao Museum for a visit, and the garlic sauce barbecue and fried meat are also delicious! In short, the off-season island feels like a high cost-performance ratio and beautiful scenery. If you don't consider going into the sea to play, I really recommend visiting!

I really like the sea in Qinhuangdao in January ( The white frozen sea, the blue sky, the red lighthouse, I have an illusion of being in Iceland FREE Free! FREE Free! And the seagulls from Siberia, I brought seagull food Seeing the red lighthouse by the sea It's like a scene in Miyazaki's comics I love this unpopular and deserted seaside in Qinhuangdao too much I brought a fountain and fireworks, it's so romantic! But it's not obvious at night Sisters, come and take pictures while there are not many people! The lanterns are also brought by myself~ In order to set off the atmosphere of the upcoming New Year, Beidaihe Dongshan Bathing Beach (A little bit of the beach in front of Pigeon Nest Park)|Free

I went to Qinghuangdao for a concert in Aranya. But, I was shocked at the price of hotels in Aranya. So, I went to trip.com to see alternatives to find that The Mariott has a resort nearby. It seems unthinkable that a small queen size room in Aranya is much more expensive than a Mariott Resort. So, yeah, I booked the Mariott instead and didn't regret it. The room was spacious, breakfast was absolutely delicious, and we got a beach photoshoot for free. This hotel has a private beach with all the amenities and Mariott service. #china #beachlife #beachhotel #chinatrip #aranya #marriottresort

We had a long weekend in Nandaihe and spent some time in SEATOPIA during the days. You can find everything here from Hotels, bars, restaurants, coffee shops and the beach. There is a sailing club where you can take classes and you can rent bikes to move around. The area is open to visitors even if you don’t live on the premises different from the nearby Aranya where you need a ticket to enter. Bright & Bay coffee We had a lunch brake here with coffee, beer and cakes. The coffee shop is super nice and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We found seating outside and it was a hot day however luckily there was some wind for us. Sunrise This was a bar at the beach. We only came during daytime but should be very cool in the evenings. We had some nice mock tails there is very nice surroundings. It almost felt like we were somewhere outside of China. Super well made. Rooftop bar at Marriott hotel We came here for afternoon tea. The bar has super nice cocktails, a live band and rooftop pool access. We wanted to take swim in the pool but it was very crowded at the time we were there. Will definitely come back. #China #beachlife #instatravel #trip #Nandaihe #beidaihe

After checking the traffic map, it's found that tourist attractions in various places are crowded and congested. Fortunately, I'm glad that I didn't go out for traveling. Qinhuangdao, where we live, is also a famous tourist city with many places to visit. Let's leave the famous scenic spots to the tourists from other places. Today is sunny, and I came to the beautiful and less crowded Peninsula Park for hiking. Peninsula Park is a community park built by the Qinhuang Peninsula real estate project. It adheres to the open concept of "being willing to share nature with everyone" and has invested heavily. In every corner of the park, you can feel the charm of nature and culture, and experience the beauty of harmony between man and nature and the beauty of natural ecology. Because of the concern about traffic jams during the holiday, let's choose green travel and take the bus to Peninsula Park. Walking along the lake, you can see many trees, flowers and plants in the park, and the air is fresh with spring scenery everywhere. The park is well-designed, with wooden plank roads paved along the lake, and a flower-viewing platform every certain distance, each with a unique and beautiful style. Suspension bridges, weeping willows, wild ducks, and mandarin ducks form a beautiful picture. In the park, not only are there hiking wooden plank roads, but also a more than one kilometer long lake running track, which satisfies residents' desire to run here. Around the lake running track, there are also fitness facilities such as basketball courts, table tennis courts, and Tai Chi gardens. The most common sight in the park is the happy figures of children. This beautiful city park is really a great place for hiking and walking. 📍Detailed address: Nanling East Road, Haigang District, Qinhuangdao City. 🕙 Business hours: Open 24/7 all year round. ⏳ Playtime: around 2 hours 🚉 Transportation guide: Drive and navigate to Peninsula Park. There are parking spaces available on the nearby roadside, and parking is free.

🍎 I am a self-driving enthusiast who loves the scenery of mountains and rivers, exploring cultural relics, visiting museums, and learning about the local customs of each place. I hope my travel notes can help you on your journey. 🍏 Tiger Stone Park has a history of over 100 years. It was the first seaside bath in Beidaihe. This beach, located in the center of Beidaihe, has brought generations of people joyful memories of the sea. 🍏The name of the Tiger Stone comes from a folk legend. When Emperor Qin Shi Huang was on his eastern tour, he passed by the seaside of Beidaihe and encountered a mountain blocking his way. Qin Shi Huang used his whip to drive away the mountain god, causing the mountain to crumble and the debris to fly to the seaside, transforming into a group of colorful tigers. Qin Shi Huang chased after them to the seaside, where the tigers knelt down and begged for mercy. Qin Shi Huang then turned them into reef stones, forever leaving them on this beach. It is because of these reef stones that resemble a group of tigers that the Tiger Stone got its name. 🍏 Tiger Stone Park is well-known, with a superior geographical location and many Russian-style buildings nearby. Being there gives a feeling of exoticism. The beach has a gentle slope into the sea and the water quality is good, making it a must-visit spot for many tourists, especially in the summer when it is crowded with visitors. 🍏 In winter, come to Tiger Stone Park to watch the sea. Although the crowds have dispersed, there are only a few tourists, which makes Tiger Stone Park more peaceful and vast. Standing on the reef, looking out to the sea, only the sky and sea are connected, without boundaries. The sea water beats against the reef on the shore, creating white waves. The sun shines on the sea surface, and the waves sparkle like shining broken silver. Everything is so beautiful. I love you, beautiful Tiger Stone. 📍Detailed address: Intersection of Zhonghaitan Road and Bao'er Road, Beidaihe District. 🕙 Business hours: 6:00~22:00 Ticket strategy: Summer tickets cost 8 yuan, winter tickets are free. However, from last summer until now, tickets have not been collected, and it is unknown whether tickets will be collected in the future. ⏳ Playtime: If watching the sea in winter, about half an hour, if swimming and playing in the sea in summer, about two hours. 🚉 Transportation guide: Drive and navigate to Tiger Stone Park. 🚙 Parking Guide: You can park on the roadside across the scenic area, and there are also nearby parking lots for your convenience. However, it may be difficult to find a parking space during the peak tourist season, so you may need to look for a parking spot further away.

It’s the tourism spot in Qinhuangdao, where you can see the mountains and lake with waterfall. I visited there in May 2019; very crowded in National holidays and Spring Festival. This scenic valley has limited transportation. You need to have private resources to get into this beautiful place to enjoy the swinging pendulum on the top of the mountain and glass bridges that link the different peaks of those mountains.

Last year I had been travel at China, and have chance to travel at Hebei, apologize that I forgot the hotel name. But hotel very big and nice neatly the beach. It make me feel like I’m at Pattaya my hometown.

I was going back to my university, I put luggage in train station, checked trip.com there was location near us which has mountains. decided to go there . student ticket was 20 Yuan per person. they don’t accept passport. some other Chinese woman buy ticket for me. it was worth watching, sunset was amazing #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #tripblazers #beachlife #campingglamping #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #trip #tripcom

only 2.5 hours away from Beijing via high speed train and worth a weekend trip. price: 50¥ a very short section of the wall that doesn’t require any hiking. probably spend 2 hours there #beachlife #beaches

This part of The Great Wall is called Laolongtou or “Dragon’s Head”. It is located in Shanhaiguan District of Qinhuangdao and is the part of the wall that extends about 20 meters into the Bohai sea. It is definitely worth a visit. Once called the beginning of the Great Wall, the dragon’s head makes for some cool photographs. Easily accessed by fast train from most major cities. The beach is not great but you can get your feet wet and enjoy a cold drink or meal by the sea. The town is not very foreigner-friendly so be sure to call ahead to see if your chosen hotel will accept you. There are many seafood restaurants serving delicious dishes and the people are mostly very warm and welcoming. #gooutside #passionpassport #china #greatwallofchina

Getting There - by train to either Beidaihe or Qinhuangdao stations Attractions - the end of the Great Wall Hotels - Shangri-la hotel at Qinhuangdao Food & Restaurants - lots of fresh seafood local restaurants just a walk away from the hotel

Beidaihe adds a literary bookstore! After the opening of the cat's Sky City concept bookstore, Beidaihe has been sitting on two super-beautiful bookstores, and the other is not far from Anaya, the "lonely library." It is only a few kilometers away from Beidaihe City, less than 20 kilometers away from Anaya, in the middle position, and it takes less than half an hour to drive. The area where the bookstore is located is a new area under development. There are almost no cars on the road, so you can drive fast. The feeling of the Ocean Coastal Blue Coast Community is equally fresh and literary, similar to the style of Anaya. The facades of the small shops on the street are all exquisite, so people want to go in for the local native business. It is also a kind of aesthetic education. The sky city of the cat has long been a super-complex space in many cities in China, and it has become a punching place for young people. Beginning on July 4, 2009, on the Pingjiang Road in Suzhou, an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River, a small bookstore called The City of the Sky of Cats was opened. At that time, the small bookstore was small in size, only four tables, only sold 500 books, but that small space, and enthusiasm for life, gave everyone a lot of infection and warmth. So a bookstore, warming up a city, "cat empty" has come to us. "Cat Air" only sells its own products. One of the major features is similar to the "Panda Slow Delivery" that began more than a decade ago. Send postcards to your designated day and send them to yourself. To the future. Cat Space is more than just a bookstore, or a bookstore. It is a coffee shop selling books. It is a "post office" that can be strolled. It is a feeling of love, killing time and finding a photo resort. cats have two floors. The first floor sells books and groceries. At the same time, you can order coffee and desserts, and there are not many seats. There are relatively few people on the second floor. The spacious independent reading space allows people to enjoy the quiet text world, as well as the small house that children like very much. It is also the reading room, and the separate "dimension". At the same time, there is a large table to take a rest, and the high-chair view at the window is the best. It is very popular. This is a sea view. The second floor is connected to the aisle of the coffee shop next to the sales office. It is full of words from the famous books. People walk here to slow down, read and understand the truth, and Reflections and tremors that bring people. Tips, the cat is not allowed to take pictures with devices other than mobile phones. Cat's Sky City Opening Hours: 10:00-20:30 Address: Building 4, Cte d'Azur Town Centre, Huamao Road, Nandaihe

Day of the dead ft halloween ghost train! This was an amazing event that we hosted at Clubmed Joyview Golden Coast for Halloween last year. Everyone dressed up as the characters from the animation movie Coco and we set out to make a ghost train scareing people as they passed through. Fun was had by all at the Halloween after party! #hallotrip

In the Pingshuiqiao Park in Beidaihe District, a thin layer of ice covers the entire coastline, forming a peculiar ice sea landscape. The landscape stretches along the coastline, such as white silk scarves set on the beach, and several fishing boats are scattered among them, matching the fishing boats in the sea. Under the action of seawater and wind, sea ice forms different characteristics, some of which are wavy, some are blocky, and some are like snow peaks floating on wetlands. The sea ice extends to the surface of the sea and blends with the surrounding reefs. It is spectacular. To appreciate the magnificent scene, always have to suffer, and pay more hard work for ordinary people. Get up at 5:30, the island is here at six o'clock, the frozen seaside is very quiet, there are about a few photographers. We are all hard people and happy people. I like sunrise, prefer the sunrise of the ice sea.

Mountain climbing, climbing and playing with water, such as the "very southern" summer resort, is also available in Qinhuangdao! It is only 28 kilometers away from the urban area of Qinhuangdao, and it takes half an hour to drive to Fangzhuang Village. The Laojunding Scenic Area here is surrounded by mountains and blue waters, fresh air, rich in mountain treasures, and profound in Taoism. It is called Northern Bama and is especially suitable. Leisure health! When we arrived at the guest house, just after a summer rain, the clear Shihe River flowed from the front of the village, and the green hills around it were foggy, and there was still a sense of wonderland. On the peak of Laojunding, there is a Taoist ruins that dont know what year and month. In the legend, this old monarch is the place of alchemy that was too old. Summer is hot, naturally you have to play wet and cool water projects! The peers of the same industry can't wait to put on their life jackets and put on their helmets to hold the paddles. This old monarchy drifting is the famous natural river rafting in Qinhuangdao. The whole site is said to have 6 kilometers, and the overall drop is 20 meters! Starting from the Longtan Creek with a mirror like a mirror, all the way down the river, the mountains along the way, the woods are flourishing, and then the torrents and the companions come to the water, it is also exciting! When we were strolling around the village, we watched that this family basically had its own small courtyard. The vegetable fields in the yard were also neatly arranged. It seems that this village for all is really developing. Not bad!

P1️⃣ Bougainvillea from the southern islands blooms gently in the northern coastal city during winter, as free-spirited doves and seagulls fly together towards the endless blue. P2️⃣ The inland plains are finally no longer far from the bay's lighthouse. Between the river and the sea, perhaps, is where the fairytale town's story begins. P3️⃣ As classical music plays and birds fly overhead, above the blooming flowers, it's as if you can see the romance and tenderness of history flowing by. P4️⃣ Standing on the desert sands in 30-degree heat, I long for that touch of azure, clear, and cool water. This time, let the desert and the green land rejuvenate together. P5️⃣ I always dream of climbing to the top of a high mountain and gazing at the distant sea and the ships sailing afar. Perhaps, in each of our hearts, there lies a youthful dream of journeying to where the mountains meet the sea...
