2020.08 Chengde, Qinhuangdao Summer Tour (Part 2)
8-15 From Chengde East Railway Station to Qinhuangdao, it was raining when we arrived, so we had to check in nearby. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the rain was a little lighter, and we came to the nearby botanical garden. I went to the northwest gate first but it didn’t open, so I turned to the main gate to enter. This place should be suitable for walking on sunny days. There are many trees and flowers, but unfortunately there are only some roses now.
There was almost no one in the park, the sky was getting dark, and the rain was getting heavier. I was a little flustered, so I decided to go to People's Park and People's Square. People's Park is very ordinary, but the air is exceptionally fresh in the rain.

8.16 Take bus No. 34 from Qinhuangdao Station to Beidaihe. Passing by a football sculpture. The building is also very distinctive.
After checking in from Liuzhuang, go to South Beach first. To be honest, the sea is a bit disappointing for me. The first time I saw the sea was Bali, then Sanya, and then I saw the sea here, and with the cloudy sky, I can only score 5 points.
But the city of Beidaihe is really clean and beautiful. Lagerstroemia indica, ling xiao, peony, and rose can be seen everywhere, and even the trash cans are particularly beautiful. A veritable garden city.
I originally wanted to go to the Wetland Park, but when I navigated to the southeast gate, I found that I couldn’t get in at all. I turned around on the Chitushan Bridge and couldn’t find the entrance. I took a lot of wrong roads. Fortunately, there is Pigeon Nest Park on the opposite side of the bridge.
Pigeon Nest Park has three main parts, the plank road for bird watching, the bathing beach for watching the sea, and the square for watching pigeons. On one side of the park is a wetland with many seabirds, possibly red-billed gulls. This is what birds look like in flight.
There are also some small spots in the park that are suitable for taking pictures.
The seaside is the best place to watch the sunrise, but it is a pity that it is cloudy and the sunrise and sunset are gone.
Some pigeons on the square.
8.17 Come to Lianfengshan Park early.
This is the highest point of Beidaihe, but the main peak, Jiguan Mountain, is not high, and it climbs to the top of the mountain quickly. Because I came early, there were almost no people on the road. It was really pleasant to listen to the wind of pines and cicadas, and smell the fragrance of grass and trees.
From Lianfengshan Park to Zhonghai Beach, the beach here is better than yesterday, the beach is cleaner, the sea is bluer, and there are not many people.
When you come out, you will find Pingshuiqiao Park. The exquisite street sceneries are full of beauty.
Opposite the park is Jieshi Garden. It is also about a park in the middle of the street. There is a portrait of Xu Zhimo, I don't know what it has to do with it. There are a lot of crape myrtle here.
Continue to walk along Zhonghaitan Road, all the way to the periphery of Laohushi Park, where you can see the whole park. Although this is an Internet celebrity place, there are many people and no landscape. Don't skip it.
Walking along Bao'er Road, this is a specialty street, and the architecture is also very beautiful. You can see men and women taking pictures at any time.
Walking to Haining Road, there is a Qigong Art Museum. The first floor is a bookstore and sells some works, and the second floor is an exhibition hall. I am the only one to enjoy it quietly, which is great.
Came to Biluota Park in the afternoon. It is very suitable for taking pictures here, and there are many young people. There are many people queuing up for this internet celebrity hot air balloon.
8.18 to Shanhaiguan Laolongtou Scenic Area. Built by the sea, it is the sea starting point of the Great Wall. When entering the scenic spot, first visit the naval barracks.
This is the barracks rice cooker, known as the largest pot in the world, with a diameter of 2.1 meters and a depth of 1.9 meters.
There are also family courtyards, which are basically arranged in courtyards. This is the sedan chair in the wife's room.
There is a maze in the scenic area, and children love to play.
Further ahead is Chenghai Building. The building was rebuilt, and the plaque was written by Qianlong.
Shangjing Lutai is the stone city into the sea. It is named Laolongtou because it looks like a dragon's head entering the sea from a distance. It was built by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in Ming Dynasty.
A forest of steles next to it. I specifically asked for a spoonful of this. The original text comes from "The Doctrine of the Mean", which is very literary: Today, the sky is so numerous and infinite, the sun, moon, and stars are bound together, and everything is overwhelmed. Today's husband's land, a pinch of soil is as many as it is, and it is extremely wide and thick. It contains Huayue but not heavy, vibrates rivers and seas but does not leak, and everything is carried. Today's Fushan, there are many stones in one roll, and it is very vast, where vegetation grows, animals grow, and treasures prosper. Today's husband's water is as much as a spoonful, and it is extremely unpredictable, sharks, fish and turtles will be born, and goods and wealth will be multiplied.
On the other side is the Tanah Lot. Also pray to the queen.
seaside view.
I don't know if this is a poinciana? very beautiful.
On the way back, I passed Shanhaiguan Pass by the scenic spot of the No. 1 Pass in the World, but the weather was not beautiful, and there was a heavy rain warning. I took a photo and checked in and left. Sure enough, the heavy rain fell as soon as I entered the hotel.
The four-day trip is over. The feeling of the famous Beidaihe is: if it is purely for watching the sea, then it is not recommended (I didn’t go to Nandaihe, I don’t know if it is better), because it is not the blue color as imagined. But if you want to relax and have a leisurely vacation, it's still good. In addition to the crowded crowds in the scenic area, there are not many people on the street, and there are usually few buses and pedestrians on the roadside.
Here you can take the bus with Alipay. It’s just that the bus lines are not convenient. In fact, the scenic spots are not far away, but few of them can be reached directly. There are tourist routes, but the departure interval is long, 30-45 minutes. The local shared bicycles are also inconvenient, and you must ride and stop at designated points , and the seat is not fixed and it is not easy to ride. Fortunately, taxis are more convenient.
In addition, I don’t know what makes me different. I was lucky enough to meet a defense team member who stopped me on the street to open my bag and inspect it. I took out all the things in my backpack, opened my wallet, and squeezed a tissue. I don't understand very much. This is the part of the trip that made me feel the most uncomfortable.
In addition, although it is by the sea, the food here is not cheap, but fortunately, it is still fresh. The seafood dumplings and shrimps that I have eaten are not bad.
