On my footprint map, the "chicken neck area" is still rarely marked. Donkey friend Xiao Yang recommends to go with the group: Shanhaiguan, Beidaihe, Chengde, Bashang, Qing Dongling. Although most of this line has been traveled, it has been 26 years. I suggest taking a trip to Xingcheng, Chifeng, and Xilinhot on the next trip.
On July 16, train T134 arrived at Shanhaiguan Railway Station late. At this time, most of the tourists were picked up by the bus. The 12 of us (Xiao Yang and I, the other 2 pairs, and a small group of 6 people) were picked up in a minibus. Only these 12 people started the "Shanghai Le Tour" Qinhuangdao, Chengde, and Bashang Nine-Day Tour".
Shanhaiguan was built by Xu Da, a general in the early Ming Dynasty, mainly to defend against the invasion of northern nomads. "The First Pass in the World" was written by Xiao Xian, a calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty.
This photo was taken in October 1992. At that time, he and his wife traveled to Beijing, Chengde, and went to Beidaihe and Shanhaiguan. In a flash, middle age becomes old, how many years are left in life?
"Shanhaiguan Ancient City Scenic Spot" is located in the north of Shanguan Railway Station. The Great Wall has preserved the most complete military city defense system so far. The ancient city is not too big, and it is usually open for free, but you have to buy a ticket to climb the tower.
There are many shops in the ancient city; Escorts, officials, and old houses have all been restored.
"Meng Jiangnv Temple" is located in Wangfushi Village, 6 kilometers east of the city, also known as "Temple of the Virgin", which is the real scene of the story of "Meng Jiangnv's Artifacts Great Wall" in history. This Temple of the Virgin was first built in the Song Dynasty, and it is the number one in the country. Here, around the story, a series of scenes are now added for tourists to visit, which has already broken through the concept of "temple".
"Old Dragon Head Scenic Spot" is the third stop of Shanhaiguan tour, which is the east starting point of the Great Wall. It is also an important military point. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, troops were stationed here all the year round. Now it is a tourist holy place integrating mountain and sea city defense and seaside vacation.
"Sea God Temple" is a temple dedicated to Mazu.
The beach is slow and the water is clear, a good bathing place!
"Ninghai City" is the place where troops are stationed and the city is defended
After visiting Shanhaiguan, we will stay at Saikang Express Hotel in Beidaihe on the same day. On the morning of the 17th, visit "Pigeon Nest Park". When climbing the "Eagle Point Pavilion", the tidal flats on the left attracted me. The large color spots constitute the elements of photography, and I pressed the shutter.
"Fishing boats outside Qinhuangdao can't see the vast ocean, and I don't know where to go..." The song "Waves Washing the Sand·Beidaihe" stands tall in every tourist's heart like a sculpture.
I used to ride a big horse here in 1992, and today I asked Xiao Yang to leave me one.
After visiting "Pigeon's Nest", drive to "Repulse Bay", which is far from the urban area. Repulse Bay, as the name suggests: the water is shallow. It is about 3,000 meters long from east to west, and 200-300 meters deep into the sea, but the water depth is less than 1 meter. It is definitely a good place to play in the water in summer. It is also open for free, residents of Qinhuangdao, you are blessed!
Afternoon is free time, we both choose to take the bus to "Tiger Stone Beach".
It is close to the urban area, and my wife and I also kept photos here in 1992.
After swimming in the seaside, we will go to Chengde to escape the summer heat. On the 18th, we left the misty Qinhuangdao City and took a minibus to Chengde.
The first stop is "Modern Resort", a royal garden outside the customs in the Qing Dynasty. The lakes and mountains, towers and pavilions, green pines and green cypresses here are famous summer resorts in the Qing Dynasty.
Royal gardens, the architecture is naturally superior.
Chengde is extremely hot today, and the aunts said: What a summer resort, it's so hot. Fortunately, we pay 50 at our own expense, and take a scenic bus to visit the mountainous part
The car ran towards a high place, surrounded by mountains and two horse roads. You can also shoot "Little Potala Palace" and "Panchen Lama Palace" from a height.

When you come down from the mountain, you will reach the lake area. At this time, the "Ruyi Lake" lotus is in full bloom, giving people a scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
Going eastward around the lake, you will soon see the grassland scenery with green grass on the left.
Looking back at Yanyu Building

After completing the tour of "Mountain Resort", in the afternoon, we came to "Kuixing Tower" at Sengkou Peak.
This is a Taoist building that is still under repair. Go up to the highest point and look around.
This is the Chengde Wulie River Bridge and urban buildings I photographed. Because of the hot weather, I was the only one in the whole group to come to the high place.
We played in Chengde for two full days. In the early morning of the 19th, we first went to Puning Temple and Puyou Temple, which is separated by a wall.
What Puning Temple should look at is the temple building that combines Han and Tibetan, and the 27.21-meter-high wood-carved Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with thousands of hands and eyes. The Bodhisattva stands in the pavilion in the middle, which is very tall and spectacular.
"The Temple of Xumi Fushou" is the sixth Panchen Lama's 13-month journey to Chengde to celebrate Qianlong's 70th birthday. This is the palace specially prepared by Qianlong, so it is also called "Panchen Palace". .
At the top of the palace, there is a golden hall, which cost more than 15,000 taels of gold. There is a rising golden dragon at each of its four corners. Its luxury and art reflect the affluence and craftsmanship of the society at that time, and it has a great visual impact.
The "Little Potala Palace" was built by Qianlong for his mother's 80th birthday and his 60th birthday. It is called "Little Potala Palace" because it imitates the Potala Palace in Tibet. Big.
Watching "Panchen Lama Palace" in "Little Potala Palace"
After visiting "Modern Resort" and "Outer Eight Temples", the Chengde tour is over. In Chengde, we live in a place called "Four Seasons Holiday Villa" in the northwest corner of the city. The wooden house is built along the hillside, surrounded by mountains, but it is quiet and interesting. We lived here for three days in Chengde.
The 20th is the day to arrive at the dam. We drove north, took the Daguang Expressway first, and arrived at the first stop on the dam, "Saihanba National Forest Park", after more than 4 hours. The first scenic spot is "Moon Lake". Unfortunately, it rained heavily, and everyone was drenched like a drowned chicken. No matter how good the scenery is, it can only end in haste.
People run away on the plank road
There are only vehicles in the distance
Moon Lake hit a wall, and then "Seven Star Lake" hit the big luck.
At this time, the rain in "Seven Star Lake" subsides slightly, and the mist reveals a bit of beauty. The distant mountains are blue, the lake is reflected, and the fragrance of green grass is refreshing. People cheer and jump for joy-we did not come to the dam in vain!
The Bashang Grassland in July is the best season of the year, with green grass blooming and mountain flowers blooming. Known as "the source of the river, the hometown of clouds, the world of flowers. The ocean of forests" is also.
The so-called "Seven Star Lake" means that there are seven plateau lakes in the scenic area, which seem to correspond to the Big Dipper in the sky. Come here to enter the "children's world".
Fifty years ago, Saihanba was still a desert. After three generations of hard work, it has become a forest with green trees and green grass like fungi. The people of Saihanba insisted on carrying forward the spirit of Yugong Yishan to turn barren hills into oases.
After lunch, we went to "Yudaokou Grassland Forest Park". The tour guide recommended a self-funded project, taking a four-wheel drive deep into the grassland, 280 yuan per person, 4 hours. The 12 people in our group are divided into three cars. The so-called four-wheel drive is not a Toyota cruiser or a Mitsubishi Pajueluo, but a low-end Great Wall and a hippocampus.
Due to the heavy rain for days, the road was muddy. Not long after the car drove out, the car behind sank into the quagmire. Fortunately, there were three cars in the group, and they helped each other out of the predicament quickly.
"Yudaokou Grassland Forest Park" is at an altitude of 1500 meters, surrounded by low mountains, and there are rows of birch forests on the side of the mountain. It is connected with "Saihanba National Forest Park". The unified ticket is 130 yuan one sheet. Ulan Butong belongs to Inner Mongolia, and tickets have to be bought separately. "Wedfield Bashang" in Hebei refers to these three places, and Mulan Paddock is the current Saihanba. Ulan Butong generally refers to the ancient battlefield.
This is the film and television base, and the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty", "Hanwu Emperor" and "My Fair Princess" were all filmed here.
So I also left a picture.
There are also dead trees beside the Yinma Spring
The sun occasionally shows its face
This should be "Hundred Flower Slope"
The grassland is empty and uninhabited, and the aunt pretends to be young and giggling. (The picture is temporarily withdrawn)
Around five o'clock, the convoy came to the "Grand Canyon Scenic Area". Walk along the brand-new boardwalk for 1 kilometer, climb up to the observation deck, and a green streamer appears in front of you. Although there are no deep valleys, rushing rivers, and beautiful mountains and rocks, what you can see are grasslands and woodlands. The horses and cows in the distance can open your mind and cleanse everything. Saihanba people are just amazing.
Tour Bisaihan Dam, where to stay tonight? I had been paying attention, and when the car stopped suddenly, I filmed the scene on my phone.
Check in the hotel, open the Gaode map, this is the town of Hongshan Army Racecourse after all.
Early in the morning on the 21st, I quietly got up, put on my camera, and walked towards the field alone. The grasslands in the early morning are empty, and the Hongshan Army Horse Farm, which once belonged to the Beijing Military Region, no longer exists, but the signposts that say "One Company" and "Er Company" are still stubbornly erected. I wandered into a place, wanting to go up to the top of the mountain to have a look, but because it was still early, I was asked to pay 10 yuan and just walk away.
Seen from the top of the mountain, the grassland is boundless, which is indeed very spectacular.
This is an existing sandboarding facility, and it seems that the people here have changed their business model.
The strange thing is that when an off-road vehicle breaks down, there are actually three horses to support it.
Today's itinerary is to visit "Shenlongtan", and then return to Chengde. When you arrive in Ulan Butong, you don’t even visit the scenic spots? yes! There are no scenic spots in the contract itinerary. I was curious, so I secretly asked the tour guide, what kind of ticket did you buy for parking yesterday? Or tickets? The tour guide said it was a "ticket". it is good! Now that we have arrived in Ulan Butong and bought tickets, why not enter the scenic spots? I discussed with the tour guide: Princess Lake, Jiangjun Paozi is nearby, and you bought the ticket, how about you tell the driver that we should pay 50 yuan each? The tour guide replied: Not so much, 40 yuan will do. I discussed it with all the people in the car, and everyone agreed. The result was that each person paid 35 yuan, so we played with Ulan Butong, who hadn't entered the scenic spot.

Coming out of Princess Lake, the car didn't take long before arriving at "Jiangjun Paozi Scenic Area", and the sky was fine at this time.
The parking lot was full of tourist buses and self-driving cars. People chose to ride horses, quadricycles, and camels, and the empty grassland suddenly became lively.
General Paozi's reputation is mainly due to the fact that Emperor Kangxi defeated the Zhunkaer tribe here more than 300 years ago, stabilized the northern frontier, and opened up the territory. It ushered in the Qianlong prosperity for hundreds of years.
In order to commemorate this battle, the scenic spot also erected statues on the grassland.
Suddenly, a large dark cloud floated from the east, and the grassland suddenly became dark. There was a torrential downpour, and people looked for shelter from the rain.
I hid in the carport on the side of the road, and the raindrops as big as soybeans fell, and the camera recorded this moment.
After visiting Ulan Butong, we returned to Saihanba, which is the Luan River, a boundary river between Hebei and Inner Mongolia.
At this time, it was raining heavily, and the car was parked in the parking lot. I took the camera alone and took a photo of "The Source of the Luan River".
The last scenic spot today is "Shenlongtan". At this time, "Shenlongtan" is more like a river.
In the rain and fog, the group members hurried along the boardwalk.
Riding horses, riding cars, all entertainment facilities are now dead. After lunch, we bid farewell to Bashang and headed for Chengde. Then have dinner at the old place and go back to the old place to stay.
Today is the 22nd, which is the day to go home. In the evening, the group members will take T180 to return to Shanghai. Today's itinerary is from Chengde to Zunhua, visit the "Eastern Qing Tombs", and then return to Shanghai by train from Qinhuangdao.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were two mausoleums of the emperor, one was the Eastern Mausoleum in Zunhua, and the other was the Western Mausoleum in Yi County. Dongling is relatively large, with five emperors and 15 empresses buried there, especially the 6-kilometer Shinto majesty.
We mainly visited the Mausoleum of Empress Dowager Cixi, who has been in power for 48 years. Her three halls can be described as magnificent and luxurious.
However, Emperor Qianlong's Yuling Underground Palace is beautifully carved and full of mystery. On the day in Zunhua, the weather was also very hot, but the wonderful explanation of the local tour guide made us forget about moxibustion and roasting. Everyone was still full of harvest and set foot on the train returning to the south.
In the end, the group members drove south at Shanhaiguan, and we continued north at Qinhuangdao. That night, we took K77 to Xingcheng, stayed at the "Medical Hotel" and started our free travel. The above is our plan and itinerary.
Xingcheng was called Ningyuan in ancient times. It was a hot spot in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and many stories happened here. We are here for the ancient city.
"Xingcheng Ancient City" is one of the four most well-preserved ancient cities of the Ming Dynasty in China. It has a history of more than 580 years. It is square and has four gates. There is a bell tower in the center of the city. There are forts built at the four corners of the city wall, which are used to erect Hongyi cannons.
It was here that Nurhachi, Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, was hit by a cannon. He was seriously injured and died soon after.
The two memorial archways of Zu's family are exquisitely carved and have complex structures, which add a lot to the ancient city.
The bell and drum towers and the ancient city of Shiban Road are full of antique flavors.
The "Confucian Temple" in the ancient city has a rigorous system, green pines and cypresses, and a long history, which has been highly praised by students of all ages.
Located in the southeast corner of the ancient city, the "General's Mansion" is a typical northeastern courtyard house, covering an area of more than 4,000 square meters with 18 rooms in total. It is the private residence of Gao Rulian, a patriotic general in Northeast China.
"Jiliao Governor's Mansion" was burned as early as when Wu Sangui rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The current "Jiliao Governor's Mansion" was rebuilt on the original site in 2001. The scale is large, and multimedia is introduced, and there are live performances at regular intervals. Tickets are 45 yuan, I bought a pass for 100 yuan, and a 65-year-old half-ticket is 50 yuan, plus 15 yuan for a round-trip electric car, and a total of 65 yuan was spent.
In the Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the invasion of the Qing Dynasty, the "Jiliao Governor's Mansion" was specially set up, and the Ministry of War was waiting for Lang. Jurisdiction includes the current Liaodong, Tianjin, and Yantai areas. The well-known national hero Yuan Chonghuan also supervised Ji Liao and achieved the "Ningyuan Great Victory" and "Jinning Great Victory", which greatly enhanced the confidence of the government and the public in fighting the Qing Dynasty. Finally, he led the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry to Beijing to rescue them in the starry night. The army fought a battle. A poor loyal minister, but in the end he was dismembered, which made people sigh endlessly.
Xingcheng not only has an ancient city, but also a collection of "mountains, seas, springs", and other landscapes. Its bathing beach is not inferior to Beidaihe. There is also Juehua Island, which is called Putuo in the north. It is also famous for its hot springs, and there is a sanatorium built nearby. The rest house has no less than 50 seats. The number of Chinese and foreign tourists received each year has exceeded 7 million.
Rest in the afternoon, take the bus directly to the pier, and then go to the bathing beach along the seaside avenue. Because there are only a few passenger ships on Juehua Island, half a day is definitely not enough, so I can only take a long-distance shot for comfort.
Traveling to Bixing City, on the morning of the 24th, I took a bus to Chifeng. The bus ticket was bought the next day. When I arrived at the station, the thing that I was always worried about happened. We were told that due to the impact of the typhoon, all the cars going to Inner Mongolia were suspended. what to do? Yes wait! or go? My opinion is to go. To save the country with a curve, go to Chaoyang first, then go to Chifeng depending on the situation. The 8:50 bus was no longer considered, so I resolutely bought a ticket. Seeing that I bought a ticket, my companion Xiao Yang also decided to go with me. In the car, I saw through Ctrip that there was a bus from Chaoyang to Chifeng at 2 pm, but there were only three tickets, and I ordered two without hesitation. I got on the bus in the afternoon, but was told that I had to change another bus. It turned out that there were still three seats left on the bus from Shenyang to Chifeng. In the era of market economy, this passenger transport company is still able to budget carefully, which I admire.
This time the typhoon was still in full swing. It made landfall from Chongming, Shanghai, and traveled northward. It actually affected three municipalities directly under the central government, and even hit Inner Mongolia. When we drove into Chifeng City, the rain had not stopped, and Yulong Avenue was full of water. The car entered the passenger station, but the passengers couldn't get out of the station. According to the plan, we rented a car for 5 days in Chifeng, but our companion Xiao Yang objected. He didn’t plan to drive by himself for 5 days. He wanted to visit Huludao again, so we reached a consensus before going to Chifeng: we will not go to Xilingrad. Chifeng drove for three days, then I went to Tongliao, and he went to Huludao. But when I was about to pick up the car, Xiao Yang was frightened by the situation here, and made it clear that he would no longer drive by himself. He won't go, but I'm ready, my car rental order has been placed, 439 yuan for three days, the price is very attractive, okay! If he doesn't go, I will go alone, even if it's worth spending three days in Chifeng City. I braved the rain and went to the rental station to pick up the car. Fortunately, everything went well, and I drove to pick him up not long after. It is convenient to have a car. We will find a restaurant for dinner and a hotel for accommodation. Didn't we arrive at Chifeng today? Otherwise, you will be delayed for a day!
Stay at the "Seven Days Chain Express Hotel" on the pedestrian street that night. Lying on the bed, my wife sent a WeChat message, asking me about the situation here, and asked me to go with the group. I also pay close attention to the weather conditions tomorrow. According to the three-day self-driving, tomorrow I will drive to Yulongsha Lake by myself and then live in Jingpeng Town, Hexiketeng Banner. The next day, I will go to Gongger Grassland via the Dada Line to Kexiketeng National Geological Park, and then take a hot ride. Line A goes through Rehuitang Town, lives in Linxi County, and returns to Chifeng on the third day. But the weather forecast told me that Chifeng will still be cloudy and rainy tomorrow. what to do? Xiao Yang and I also said that going out is safety first, and I will not make fun of my own life. I decided to visit the museum and Hongshan Forest Park tomorrow, play in the city first, and make a decision the day after tomorrow depending on the weather.
Chifeng Museum is located on Fuhe Road. The Dongfeng Shenlong car I rented did not have a navigator, so when I went out for breakfast, I paid attention to the stationery store to buy double-sided tape, and glued my mobile phone to the platform of the car. Fortunately, I also brought a car USB plug and downloaded offline maps, so driving to the scenic spots went smoothly.
The old building of Chifeng Museum was built in 1987, and the new building opened in August 2010. The shape is very imposing, and the interior is also very large. The important thing is that its collection of cultural relics is very rich. There are 103 first-class cultural relics and 228 second-class cultural relics. A collection of collections. It is a multi-functional modern museum integrating research and display.
The main attractions are the representative works of Hongshan culture unearthed in the 1970s-dragon-shaped jade hook, northern bronzes, and three-colored Liao Dynasty. In order to take a closer look, I rented a wireless speaker for 20 yuan.
When we got up in the morning, Xiao Yang also asked to go to the museum together. For the convenience of travel, we even borrowed the hotel near the train station. This hotel is not bad, the original price of 278 yuan is discounted to 178 yuan for a standard room, and there is free breakfast. It looks like a big family.
Khitan Dynasty
If the Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, then the Ximulun River is the grandmother.
The craftsmanship of this dragon robe is too exquisite, and the tuanlong is made of 80,000 noble rice beads.
Chifeng is named after the crimson peak in the city. So when you go to Chifeng, you must see its dignity. I switched the navigation to "Hongshan Forest Park". But when I went to the door, I saw a red cloth saying: Due to the renovation of the park, the park will be closed from April 1st. Reluctantly, I couldn't do it even if I wanted to take a picture of a mountain, so I drove around the park and finally saw a door open. Parked the car, walked in with the camera, and finally photographed a part of Hongshan.
Because it was still early, I went to the nearby "Botanical Garden". This botanical garden is also under construction, but many residents are active in it. I saw a child playing on a high tower, and I also got in from below. From the top, I could see Nanshan Mountain in the distance. Thermal power plants, and rows of houses in urban areas.
On the 26th, I opened the window and saw that the weather had improved. I couldn't wait to ask Xiao Yang: "Will you go to "Jade Dragon Sand Lake"?" After a day of rest, Xiao Yang's mental state improved significantly. He agreed to go together, and we agreed: If the weather is good, we will continue to move forward. We will stay in Rehuitang tonight, and we will "Kishiketen Stone Formation" tomorrow.
The car quickly drove out of the urban area and entered the provincial road. What came into view was a hilly scenery, with sand dunes, woods, and grasslands in the distance... We stopped from time to time to take pictures and take pictures.
It takes less than 2 hours to drive to the "Yulongsha Lake" located in Wudan Town, Ongniute Banner, if you take the expressway. This Yulong Sha Lake uses sand as a play point, and develops camel riding and four-wheel off-roading. With the lake as the scenery, there are train parades and pedal boats. It doesn't take a whole day to really play. not come down.
I chose to take a small train for 60 yuan and walk around the lake.
Yulongsha Lake is indeed beautiful. The mountain has exposed rocks and sandy slopes, and the color is beautiful, golden yellow dotted with emerald green. The lake has reed-covered wetlands and harbors. Of course, the consumption is also expensive. A lake-view room by the lake costs 1,000 yuan per unit, and even hundreds of connected container hotels cost several hundred per night.
The 160-kilometer road from Yulong Shahu to Reshuitang Town passes through Provincial Highway 205 and then transfers to Provincial Highway 204, which takes two and a half hours. The roads in Inner Mongolia are very easy to walk, there are not many vehicles, and there are almost no people to see. I drove alone, played music, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The fun of self-driving was fully reflected. All the way through Wufendi and Xilamulun River. Linxi County, arrived in Rehuitang Town in the evening.
Due to the presence of hot springs, this hot spring town has prospered and has many sanatoriums. There are a lot of accommodation, catering, and entertainment, just like the warm soup in Jiangxi. The hotel we stayed in was 218 yuan per room. There is hot spring water directly connected to the room. Although the room is a bit small, it feels good to soak in the hot spring water to wash away the tiredness of the day. When I asked here, it didn't rain at all, wow!
It takes about 2 hours to travel 77 kilometers from Reshuitang Town to Ashatu Stone Forest (Kexiketeng Geological Stone Array). So at 6 o'clock the next day, we set off on time. This is the signed Re-A line, but this road cannot be found on the official map.
This road can be called a heavenly road. After crossing the mountain, it enters the grassland. At this time, the sun has just risen from the east. The golden sun shines on the hillside, if there is no one person or sheep in Ruoda grassland, we seem to have come out of the world and strayed into a fairyland.
When the car arrives at the scenic spot, we are the first batch of guests. "Keshiketeng Stone Formation" has a large area. To enter from the main gate and west gate, you must take the scenic bus to the distribution center, and then take the electric bus to the place you want to go. Although it is complicated, it is very orderly, but it is also I feel very convenient. A ticket for the scenic spot is 120 yuan, my half-ticket is 60 yuan, and the Jingjiao car is 20 yuan.
"Keshiketeng Stone Array" is divided into 5 scenic spots: Grassland Stone Forest, Grassland Tianzhu, Grassland Kunpeng, Grassland Stone City, Grassland Stone Fortress, with a distribution area of about 15.6 square kilometers. Experts have verified that the Keshigten Stone Array is a unique granite landscape in the world, and it is initially called a geological wonder.

Backed by the endless sea of birch forests, "Kexiketeng Stone Formation" may look like ancient pagodas and castles, or look like spiritual birds and beasts. It is lifelike and natural, and it is indeed a very unique geological park.
As the first batch of tourists, after two and a half hours of sightseeing, we turned on the return mode at 11 o'clock. At this time, on the way back, tourists flocked to the grassland road. They were all busy taking pictures. In order to drive safely and take care of passing vehicles, we followed the road traffic signs and did not dare to stop, so there were fewer photos of cattle and sheep in groups. (At this time, the cattle and sheep have been slaughtered)
The Re-A line is located at the intersection of alpine meadows and primitive birch forests, so we saw not only the vastness of the Gongger grassland, but also the spruce spruce in the sandy land. Although the Dada line has not gone, I will never let go of the scenery of the 150 kilometers back and forth. Today, I drove for 7 hours and walked more than 430 kilometers, but I didn't feel tired at all, and I was completely covered by my excitement. The reason why the Re-A Line is not marked is because of the height limit, which only allows small passenger cars to pass, and is a special tourist line.
On the 28th, the day when Xiao Yang and I broke up, I took the train to Tongliao at 7:20, and Yang took a car to Huludao, where he missed him, at 10:00. After 11:00 noon, when I arrived at Tongliao Station, the first thing I did was to borrow a hotel. "Super 8" is an express hotel that I have been eyeing for a long time. When I arrived at the store, the front desk quoted 150 yuan for a double bed room to 219 yuan. When I quoted the base price, she agreed with it. So when people are outside, it’s really not good if they don’t prepare to light bullets.
My Tongliao itinerary: The first day is "Horqin Museum", Dale Lin Temple. The next day is "Xiao Manor + Zhalut Grassland Day Tour". Tongliao is located at the junction of Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, and Jilin. It is the central city of the Horqin Grassland and used to be the capital of the Zheermu League. With a permanent population of more than 3 million, it is the place where Mongolians are most concentrated, and it is also the main production area of my country's commodity grain and animal husbandry. "Horqin Museum", also known as Tongliao Museum, was built in 1975. It is the first prefecture-level city in Inner Mongolia to establish a museum. There are many collections, ranging from bronze wares of the Spring and Autumn Period, gold and silver wares of the Qin and Han Dynasties, to three-color wares of the Liao Dynasty, and blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, there is also a special exhibition introducing Mongolian culture, which is worthy of being a good place to introduce the history of Jin, Liao and Mongolian culture.
The murals of the Kulun Liao tomb are still vivid after 800 years.
The epitaph of Princess Chen Guo staged an ancient mandarin duck love drama.

Get out of the museum and then take bus No. 10 to Dalelin Temple. This is a Tibetan-Chinese style temple, the architecture is very distinctive, but it is also under maintenance.
And "La Mulun Park" is just behind.
That night, I finally received a call from the local area. The one-day tour product I booked on Ctrip, Inzarut was flooded and I couldn't go there. I wanted to change it to "Zhuri River Grassland One-day Tour". Just change it, there are many uncertain factors abroad. I was even more flattered by the car that came to pick me up the next day. The 12 people were divided into two groups, and each group had a 7-seater car. And so off we went.
"Zhuri River Grassland Scenic Spot" is 103 kilometers away from Tongliao North, located in the hinterland of Horqin Grassland. It was approved by the National Tourism Administration for construction in 1994. It is an old tourist attraction. Every year on August 18, the "Nadam" of the League will be held here. At that time, there will be a sea of people here, and people will drag their children and children here for two or three days like going to a market.

Since I returned to the city earlier, I went to the Xiliao River, the mother river of Tongliao City, to investigate. The poor Xiliao River turned into a wetland.
People who have been to Tongliao said: Tongliao has two must-eats, one is finger meat and the other is pie. In the evening, I also went to a Northeast restaurant that was listed by Dianping to try something new.
The 30th is the day of my return trip. I took K7458 to Shenyang at 6:13, and then took the G120 high-speed rail to Shanhaiguan at 12:44. In the evening, take the K518 back to Shanghai at 20:39. People are most worried about the train tickets, because it is summer, and tickets are quite difficult to buy. Although our return tickets have a contract with a travel agency, is the train on Qinhuangdao? Or get on the bus at Shanhaiguan? It was not until the morning that we learned the exact information of the train ticket. As for getting the ticket, the location, time, and contact person must be confirmed. Xin Hao, we all bought the tickets to Qinhuangdao, and both trains also stopped at Shanhaiguan, so we quickly found a contact person after getting off the train and got the train tickets. However, whether it is the north exit or the south exit, there is still a detour.
This is "The Former Site of Fengtian Station", which was built in 1908, which I took at Shenyang Railway Station.
Shanhaiguan Railway Station. At 3:00 p.m., Xiao Yang and I arrived at Shanhaiguan Railway Station almost at the same time. At 8:39 p.m., we will take K518 back to Shanghai together.
"Lotus Park" in Shanhaiguan.
"Jingbian Tower" in Shanhaiguan.
Shanhaiguan City Wall and Yanshan Mountain.
The weather in Shenyang has been extremely hot these past few days, with a temperature of 38 degrees that day. During the transfer tour, I was sweating all over. In the evening, I had a good dinner in Shanhaiguan, found a bathroom, washed up, and then boarded the car and got into the sleeper, feeling much more relaxed.
This is my travel friend for many years——Xiao Yang. In this travel note, there may be offenses, please forgive me.
In this way, our 17-day trip: group tour, self-driving, and backpack tour in Jijing area ended, and the camera memory card had 1,250 more photos. What I feel most is that I didn't finish the 5-day self-driving tour.
