Beautiful Ice City - Harbin
From Heihe to Tianjin, all the way is basically high-speed, and there is basically no introduction on the road, so in this travel note, I will describe it from three aspects: living, eating, and playing.
Harbin, also known as Ice City, is the capital of Heilongjiang Province. It is the birthplace of "one country and two dynasties", that is, the birthplace of the Jin and Qing dynasties and the Bohai Kingdom. It is also a city that has never had a city wall.
Before Jin, this was just a village. In 1115 AD, Jin established his capital in Shangjing (Acheng District, Harbin). It wasn't until the middle and late Qing Dynasty, with the construction of the Middle East Railway, that the Great Qing Dynasty lifted the ban on the Kanto, and a large number of Manchu and Han people began to live here, and gradually formed the prototype of a modern city.
It is nearly 600 kilometers from Heihe to Harbin, and the whole journey is high-speed.
It rained all day, and later I heard that the railway on the other side of the Heihe River was washed out. I can't help but feel lucky, if we go to Hailan Pao today, I'm afraid we will have to go shopping with an umbrella.
It was already evening when we arrived in Harbin.
I booked the Rezen East Valley Hotel from Ctrip. Seeing that the price is relatively cheap, I decided to book here. Let’s settle down first.
Rezen East Valley Hotel is on the edge of an overpass next to the railway. It looks very inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior decoration is still very good.
After driving for a day, I was a little tired, so I didn't look for any special snacks. I found some home-cooked food outside the hotel and ate some casually. I went back to the hotel and planned where to go tomorrow. I can't come to Harbin for nothing. ,
After choosing and choosing, I decided to check in the famous Hagia Sophia Cathedral and Sun Island.
There are many cars on the streets of Harbin, and the roads are not wide. You must pay attention to the traffic regulations when driving, and you must park in the parking space.
Saint Sophia Church is located in Sophia Square, Daoli District. It is a Byzantine-style Orthodox church and a landmark building in Harbin.
St. Sophia Church was built in March of the 33rd year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1907). It was originally built as a military church for the Fourth Infantry Division of Eastern Siberia in Tsarist Russia when it built the Middle East Railway.
On September 27, 1923, St. Sophia Church was rebuilt, and it took nine years to become the largest Orthodox church in the Far East. After completion, St. Sophia Church is deeply influenced by Byzantine architectural style and is a typical representative of modern European architecture in Harbin, with high artistic value and historical value.
"Sofia" means "the wisdom of the gods", which is the name of the church, which means to worship the god of wisdom.
It's a pity that the church was still being renovated when we came, so it was not open to the public, so we could only take a look outside.
Saint Sophia Square is not very open, and the flow of people is very large. It feels like it’s May 1st or 11th Golden Week. Since it’s not open, let’s go to Sun Island.
The first time I heard about Sun Island was a cross talk I heard when I was a child. I can’t remember the name. It was said by Cui Yukuan and Gao Xudong. It is said that a couple went to Sun Island to travel and get married, but they lost their daughter-in-law. I thought it was a beautiful place.
Sun Island is an island in the middle of the Songhua River. The island is rich in bream fish, which is pronounced "Taiyi'an" by the Jurchen tribe. The island was called "Taiyi'an" at that time, and it has been known as Sun Island for a long time. Sun Island will be open to tourists free of charge from May 1, 2019.
Zuolong Square, the prototype of Zuolong is a Jin Dynasty bronze ware unearthed in Heilongjiang. Three giant dragons are looking forward to the sky, screaming and about to fly, which not only shows the profound regional cultural characteristics, but also shows the origin of Chinese culture.
Qifengtai. Three phoenixes perch on a three-dimensional flower bed of five-color grass on a ball, forming a dragon and auspicious posture with the sitting dragon.
In the park, the grass is luxuriant and the trees are full of shade. According to historical records, as early as 300 years ago, the Qing Dynasty developed and utilized this place as a naval camp. In the 1920s, with the completion of the Middle East Railway, Harbin developed into a commercial town with smooth water and land access. Sun Island has become a place for foreign nationals to spend their summer vacations, and many European-style buildings are left over from that time.
Listening to the Rain Corridor is a string of white buildings by the Sun Lake, with a solemn and elegant European style.
Sun Lake is an artificial lake dug by Harbin citizens at that time through voluntary labor. Part of the excavated earth was used to improve the surrounding environment, and part of it was piled up to form Sun Mountain.
There are many colorful and small boats parked on the shore, and next to it is the famous Shuige Yuntian. Here, modern landscaping techniques are mainly adopted, wading across the shore and built by water. The building is mainly white, supplemented by gray, elegant and ingenious, and looks like a virgin from a distance.
Next to Shuige Yuntian is green grass, verdant trees, elegant and quiet, it is indeed a good place for families, couples, and parents.
The cloudy and rainy days have finally passed away, the sky began to bloom its original blue color, and the sun reflected the grass greener.
Snack bar in the scenic area. The word "Madiel" is a transliteration of the Russian "Моперн", which means modern fashion. The brand was founded in Harbin in 1906 by Caspian, a French Jew. It has a history of more than 100 years. "Sweet but not greasy, with fragrance in the ice" is the main feature of Madier popsicles. When you come to Harbin, you must try this modern popsicle.
When the clouds clear and the fog clears, the blue sky is fully revealed, which shows the true color of Shuige Yuntian.
Even the green space and statues are more colorful.
The cross-river cableway on the Songhua River is another way to enter Sun Island from Harbin.
The Songhua River is the seventh longest river in China and a first-class tributary of Heilongjiang, also known as the Huntong River, Songwa River. Songhua River is the translation of "Songli Ula" in Manchu, which means "Tianhe".
sun bridge.
On the other side of the Songhua River, there are many high-rise buildings. Harbin has become one of the central cities in Northeast my country.
Sun Island Park is the core of the entire Sun Island Scenic Area. We only visited a small part of it. Due to time constraints, we had to leave Harbin. The next stop: Changchun, the northern spring city.
North Country Spring City——Changchun
The distance from Harbin to Changchun is less than 300 kilometers, and the distance is still relatively short. It should take 3 hours to get there, but I didn’t expect that there was a section of road construction on the expressway, and we had to detour for a section of G102 National Highway. Comparable to the X324 county road from Genhe to Mohe, coupled with high-speed road construction, vehicles of all sizes detour here, so that we arrived in Changchun at 7 o'clock in the evening.
Changchun, referred to as "Chang", also known as Spring City, was called Xidu, Chaahchong, and Huanglong Mansion in ancient times. It is the capital of Jilin Province, one of the central cities in Northeast my country and an important industrial base. It is known as "Oriental Detroit" and "Oriental Hollywood. "The name.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei often said: "Go straight to Huanglong Mansion." It refers to this place (now Nong'an County), but the real establishment of Changchun was from July 1800, the fifth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, until the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865). , Digging moats and building city walls, Changchun City was formally formed. In the thirty-three years of Guangxu (1907), the Northeast region was changed from a military government system to a provincial system, and Changchun Prefecture was subordinate to Jilin Province.
In Xia, Shang, Zhou and Qin, the Sushen people lived here. The ancient Sushen people used "tea achong" to pray for blessings when offering sacrifices to heaven. Because the place of blessing was in Xidu, later generations gradually replaced Xidu with "tea achong".
After coming out of Harbin, I walked to the Lalinhe toll station at the high speed, and I had to get off the high speed. I had to turn down from here, but because the ETC channel was not opened, I was confused for a while, thinking that I could pass directly, plus My eyesight was not good, so I hit the pole directly, hula, several policemen ran over, I was startled, and quickly explained that I didn’t see it, and the car was a bit fast, I didn’t really want to hit the pole, but fortunately, neither the car nor the pole hit Bad, finally let it go, Xiaosheng is afraid.
After getting off the expressway, I walked on the G102 National Highway. The road conditions were good at the beginning, and then it got worse and worse. There was even a detour to a county town. Before arriving in Changchun, it was either traffic jams or poor road conditions. There were still 2 hours left In the end, it took more than 3 hours to reach Changchun.
When we arrived in Changchun, it was already dark, so we quickly booked a hotel from Ctrip. Celebrity Yujizang Tea Hotel in Changchun, the corridors of the hotel are filled with tea bricks, and the fragrance of tea is refreshing. This arrangement is really unique and the effect is very good.
The decoration in the room is also very good, the price is cheap, and it is very comfortable to live in.
It was very late when I arrived in Changchun. I was stuck in a traffic jam for a long time. I was tired and hungry. Let’s go to eat something good. I found a barbecue restaurant on the Internet.
I used to like to eat barbecue when I came to Changchun. After decades, although the way of barbecue has changed, it is still mouth-watering.
If I had known that the meat was so delicious, I would not have ordered noodles, but in the end we killed them all.
The hotel is full and I’m a little tired. Let’s drive in Changchun for a drive. It’s a revisit to the old place. This time, the places I went to before, for me, except Harbin, where I stayed for one night, other places are the first. But I have been to Changchun many times. Decades have passed in a flash, and the Luming Hotel where I stayed before can't be found anymore. Let's see what else is the same as in memory.
After looking around, I really found a place, which is the Soviet Martyrs Memorial Tower, also known as the Aircraft Tower, in the center of People's Square. It's just that the memorial tower is surrounded now, and it's impossible to walk up to it. Today's China is developing rapidly, and Changchun is also changing with each passing day. Only this iron plane still stands above the square, telling the unforgettable history.
After leaving People’s Square, I checked on the Internet. I have been to Changchun Film Factory before, and found that there is a new Changying Century City. There will be a light show at night, and it will close in an hour. Let’s go and have a look.
When we arrived, there was still half an hour before the park closed. The staff strongly advised us not to buy a ticket to enter the park, because it was too big inside, and we couldn’t transfer at all. , Take pictures at the door, come back tomorrow.
Changying Century City, located in Nanguan District, Changchun City, was built in 2003. It is a comprehensive tourist area integrating technology, adventure, performing arts and sightseeing.
This is an amusement park, but it is different from ordinary amusement parks because it is a movie-themed amusement park.
Starting from June 2018, a large-scale lantern show and summer festival will be held here. Unfortunately, we came late, and the lantern show can only be viewed from the outside. Let’s take a look at it tomorrow during the day to see what’s interesting.
The next morning, we checked out and came to Changying Century City. The ticket is 240 yuan per person, and the pass is half price for children. It is not cheap. Now that I'm here, I can only grit my teeth and buy a ticket to go in.
I heard that the park has a large area, so after entering the park, we rented a two-person bicycle. The first project we visited was the Changying Prop Vehicle Exhibition Hall, because there is no fixed opening time here, and we can see it whenever we arrive.
All the vehicles exhibited here are collected by Changchun Film Studio, and these vehicles have been used in the films made by Changying.
My son is still very interested in cars. Many cars can be called by name, but I don't know.
These exhibited vehicles brought me into those old movies again.
It was only later that I learned that before entering the park, I should go to the service center to get an introduction list of play items, so as to find the program performance schedule, and refer to the schedule to correspond to the order of play.
Since we didn’t have a guide map, we can only go wherever we go. Fortunately, the service here is still in place. There are staff at the entrance of each project to introduce the relevant time information to you before the performance, and someone at the exit will tell you Which project should you visit next, and you won't waste time by wandering aimlessly. If you have enough time, I sincerely recommend that you play them all in order, especially for children, it is still very interesting.
We have to go to Shenyang in the afternoon, so we can only play a few projects selectively, such as rapid shuttle (an indoor roller coaster), very laboratory (4D movie), etc. Almost every project is related to movies or performances , or sound and light effects, or personal experience, will definitely make you hooked.

It was already 2:40 pm when I came out of the park, but it was not early. Unfortunately, Changying Century City did not have time to play carefully. There is actually no need to rent a tandem bicycle, because the distance between each project is not far, and you can just walk. Next stop: Shenyang, capital of two generations of emperors.
Two Dynasties Imperial Capital - Shenyang
The distance from Changchun to Shenyang and Harbin to Changchun is about the same, a little over 300 kilometers, and the whole journey is high-speed.
Shenyang, referred to as "Shen", also known as Shengjing and Fengtian, is the capital of Liaoning Province and the only megacity in Northeast China. It is also a national historical and cultural city, the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, known as "the birthplace of one dynasty, the capital of two generations of emperors".
In 300 B.C., Qin Kai, the general of Yan State, led his army to expel Donghu, and built a waiting city here, which means the city of lookout.
In the third year of Yuanzhen in the Yuan Dynasty (1296), the Tucheng was rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty, and Shenzhou was changed to "Shenyang Road". Big.
In the eighth year of Tomorrow Cong (1634), Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty Huang Taiji respected Shenyang as "Shengjing of Heaven", so Shenyang was called "Shengjing".
In the 14th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1657), Fengtian Mansion was established in Shengjing City (now Shenyang) with the meaning of "Fengtian Chengyun", so Shenyang is also called "Fengtian".
At a place 30 kilometers away from Shenyang, I found a scenic spot on the side of the highway—the strange slope scenic spot. I have heard of this before, but I didn’t expect to meet here. Let’s come here tomorrow to have a look.
In the evening, I arrived in Shenyang, where I revisited my old place, but Shenyang now is quite different from when I came here.
I don’t know where the Dongbei Hotel I stayed in in the past, at least I couldn’t find it online, so I booked Yitel Zhishang Hotel on Ctrip.
The hotels in the three eastern provinces are not expensive, but the decoration is not lazy, which is really good.
I wanted to eat Shenyang's Bada Stew, but by accident I came to Shenyang Badawan. It's not bad, it's still an online celebrity shop.
Northeast Lapi, my favorite.
Randomly ordering dishes, I didn't expect such a big commotion.
This is that hard dish.
My son loves fried noodles.
It is delicious to eat.
Eight big bowls, remember you, let me eat again.
I woke up in the morning and had a full meal. I didn't expect the free breakfast in the hotel to be really good.
The breakfast is quite full, so let's go to Shenyang Guaipo to eliminate food.
To go to Shenyang Strange Slope, you have to walk 30 kilometers back, which is in the direction of Changchun.
Strange Slope is located at the west foot of Maoshan in Xinchengzi District, Shenyang City. Facing the wilderness and backed by mountains, it occupies a large area. There are several scenic spots in it, but there is an unpleasant experience here. There is a fee, each scenic spot is charged separately, and it is not expensive, 15 or 20 can afford it, but it is a lot when added together, and they are all modern and newly built, of no value, it is really a matter of going or not Can.
Entering the scenic spot, you can drive. Of course, this is an additional fee. The tickets for Strange Slope and Tiger Garden are 100 yuan in total, half price for children. It is recommended to drive in, you can drive in person, 30 yuan per car, if you don’t drive into the park, there is a tour bus in the park, 10 yuan per person, no children’s tickets, round trip, you can stop at any time, strange slope is away from the gate It's quite far away, and there is no scenery along the way, so let's take a car.
The strange slope is 80 meters long and 20 meters wide, and it was discovered in April 1990. It is said that at that time, a young traffic policeman was driving a Beijing brand jeep along the road into the mountain. When the gear was turned off and the car was stopped, they suddenly felt that the car was sliding uphill by itself. I couldn't figure it out, and walked away with confusion. So the strange slope appeared, and it became mysterious. Experts, celebrities, and scholars came here one after another to explore and unravel the mysteries. Some said it was the effect of magnetic field, some said it was due to gravity displacement, and some said it was due to poor vision.
The strange slope ticket includes a cycle of bicycle experience, and it will cost another 40 yuan if you want to ride another cycle.
At that time, we used a mobile phone to measure, and the compass was normal, indicating that the magnetic field was normal, and the inclination of the ground was 3 degrees. Maybe the mobile phone measurement was not accurate, but it was indeed a gentle slope when we were on the scene.
Some people say that these "hand in hand" stone pillars on the roadside, if you measure them with a plumb, you will find that they are not perpendicular to the ground, but have a 5-degree inclination, and the length of each pillar is different. Friends who come later can find something to try to see if it is true.
Because there are relatively steep hills behind both ends of the strange slope, there is no horizontal reference object, and the pillars that are not vertical and of different lengths give people a visual illusion.
Is the answer to the mystery as analyzed by netizens? There is no public opinion yet, but there are still more and more tourists coming here.
The following photo is a view of the strange slope from the Guanpo Pavilion. It seems that it is obviously downhill to the bottom of the photo, but the overall mountain is downhill to the top of the photo. The strange slope here is very abnormal. direction of inclination. This may be a mystery created by building designers who skillfully take advantage of people's visual difference. I think this photo should be able to explain the mystery of the strange slope.
The Guanpo Pavilion behind the strange slope is the place where several gods are enshrined, and it is not connected with the pagoda behind. There are some man-made landscapes next to the strange slope, and you have to buy tickets separately. I don’t have much interest. I continue to drive up. There are scenic spots such as Yinshan Lake. came back.
Going back to the foot of the mountain, at the entrance of the gate is another main scenic spot here, the Tiger Park. Many people said it is fun on the Internet, so go in and have a look. We also bought a joint ticket, just go in directly.
Entering the Tiger Park is to interact with tigers at close range. The ticket includes an ordinary sightseeing car, which cannot interact with tigers. If you want to get close to tigers, you need to add 10 yuan to take the thrilling No. 1 sightseeing car. 80% of tourists will Choose to add money.
There are more items that need to add money. After entering the tiger park, the driver will ask tourists if they want to feed the tigers. If they are willing, they will add ten yuan per person. Of course, everyone can only be willing, but this is the driver to feed the tigers. Then I will ask if anyone is willing to feed the tiger with his own hands. If he is willing, he will add 10 yuan for the meat strips, and 80 yuan for the live chicken...
This is different from Beijing Badaling Wildlife Park and Qinhuangdao Wildlife Park. Tourists are not allowed to drive their private cars into the Tiger Park, so they can only go in their cars to have a look.
This is the tiger eating scene that each of us saw for ten yuan.
If the tiger refuses to cooperate, the driver will use an iron fork to knock on the iron net to call the tiger to come.
Sometimes the driver will drop a live chicken to the lion. The poor live chicken can't survive five seconds in front of these kings of the jungle before confessing.
Among the tourists there are some who are willing to spend money to feed them with their own hands. Now the King of Beasts is just like a very hungry pet, and he no longer has the prestige to look down on all the beasts.
Of course, there are also some kings who are indifferent to temptation.
Leaving the tiger free-range area, there is also a cage area, where there are black bears, deer, monkeys, etc., where you can also feed, and you have to spend money to buy feed.
I remember that all the black bears in Tianjin Zoo possess special skills in order to ask for a stutterer, such as beckoning, circling, bowing, or saluting. Not professional at all. ,
This little guy is cute, is it a groundhog?
"Alpaca" and "alpaca", foolishly confused, which one is it?
The deer here are not as alert as the deer in the Deerpur Deer Garden. Maybe they have adapted to being in contact with people every day.
The little raccoon looks cute, but it's a bit dirty.
Generally speaking, the strange slope and the tiger garden are scenic spots full of secondary consumption. Now there are very few scenic spots in the country that charge such fees. If you feel that the strange slope is just a scam, then there is really no meaning here, at least I think so .
It's time to leave Shenyang and go to Qinhuangdao, let's go now.
Bohai Port City——Qinhuangdao
It is about 420 kilometers from Shenyang to Qinhuangdao, and the whole journey is high-speed. This is the last tourist city we arrived in more than 20 days from July 6 this time. Tianjin is getting closer and closer to home. As our geographical latitude is getting lower and lower, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. I have been sweating every day since Changchun. Since Qinhuangdao is a coastal city, the temperature Big, my body is sweating even more violently, and I can't stop it.
Qinhuangdao is a famous national historical and cultural city. It was named after Qin Shihuang sent people to the sea to seek immortality during his eastward tour. It is the only city in China that is named after the emperor's name. Qinhuangdao is the birthplace of China's modern tourism industry. It has a wealth of tourism resources and a mild climate.
Qinhuangdao is a seaside tourist city. Most of the people who come here come to see and enjoy the sea, so the hotels here are all seaside. The prices are relatively expensive during the tourist season. After searching for a long time on Ctrip, I decided to stay In this hotel very close to the sea. Standard room, 229 yuan, without meals.
Although the room is ordinary, it is still clean. The main reason is that it is very close to the beach. Let's eat something, go for a walk on the beach, and ride the waves.
The hotel does not have a restaurant, so we have to go out to eat. There are many seafood restaurants by the sea, so we just found one.
Steamed turbot is a must-order dish when we are at the seaside, because this fish is the cheapest and has few spines.
Eat and drink enough, go, the beach, go.
We live in Beidaihe, which is called Beidaihe because it is in the north of Daihe. In 1898, it was designated by the Qing government as a summer resort that "allows Chinese and foreign people to live together". It is a famous tourist resort both at home and abroad. With three main ecosystems of ocean, forest and wetland, it is one of the four major villa areas in China, and there are 135 hundred-year-old villas alone. It is also the largest recuperation base and conference training center in China.
"Come to the Bohai Bay at night, the tide comes and goes to Shanhaiguan. The lights are bright, the water is dark, and the night is dim when you look back.",
Although the night has turned the lively beach into darkness, it still cannot reduce the enthusiasm of tourists. People leave a string of footprints on the beach over and over again, and the waves rush back from the depths of the sea over and over again, tirelessly erasing the marks left by people. Tourists, are you not tired? The sea is tired, anyway, I am a little tired, go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's itinerary. Tomorrow is going back to Tianjin. Tomorrow is the last day of travel. The final destination of the trip is Shanhaiguan, the old dragon head, to see the end of the Great Wall.
Shanhaiguan, also known as Yuguan, Yuguan, and Linluguan, is located 15 kilometers northeast of Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. Before 1990, it was considered to be the starting point of the eastern end of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. The starting point of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty that has been discovered is Dandong, Liaoning Province. Hushan Town, Kuandian County - Hushan Great Wall.
The city of Shanhaiguan has a circumference of about 4 kilometers. It is a small city. The whole city is connected to the Great Wall, and the city is the gate. There are four main gates in the whole city, and there are many kinds of ancient defensive buildings. It is a city gate with a relatively complete defense system, known as "the first gate in the world". With the mighty and majestic "No. 1 Pass in the World" archery tower as the main body, it is supplemented by Jingbian Tower, Linlu Tower, Muying Tower, Weiyuan Hall, Wengcheng, Dongluo City, Great Wall Museum and other Great Wall buildings.
Guancheng is the center of the entire city defense complex. The city wall is tall and strong, and the moat surrounds the whole city. There are 4 closed gates: Zhendongmen to the east, Yingenmen to the west, Wangyangmen to the south, and Weiyuanmen to the north. Among the four gates, Zhendong Gate is the most famous. Zhendong Gate is also known as "The First Gate in the World".
Both Shanhaiguan and Laolongtou have been well-known tourist attractions for many years. People from surrounding provinces and cities may have visited many times, so we won’t give an in-depth introduction. Let’s take a look for yourself.
In the door opening of the east gate, there is a place where customs clearance documents are made in an imitation of ancient times, which is quite interesting.
Shanhaiguan Guancheng takes advantage of the low southwest and high northeast terrain, highlighting the important building in the Guancheng "the first pass in the world" tower.
Both "天" and "一" and the traditional Chinese character "Guan" are left-right symmetrical. Due to the terrain, the city wall is higher in the north and lower in the south. It is even bigger than the previous one, and the character "第" has also been replaced with a cursive prefix. It is said that it is to make the south side thicker and calm the south.
Because of this pair of plaques, the city wall looks more stable, well-proportioned and graceful.
It is 4 kilometers from Shanhaiguan to Laolongtou. You can take the bus in the scenic spot, which is included in the ticket, but there are many people. If you come by car, it is more convenient to drive there.
Laolongtou is where the eastern part of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty enters the sea, and it is connected to the Nine Gates of the Great Wall on the water to the east. The stone city entering the sea is like a dragon's head protruding into the sea, making waves and dancing waves, so it is called "Old Dragon's Head".
The Laolongtou Scenic Area is mainly divided into two parts, one is the military camp area and the other is the beach area. The military camp area reproduces the appearance of Qi Jiguang when he was stationed here.
Laolongtou is not only a very ingenious military facility that stretches into the sea, but also is the only excellent place in the Great Wall that combines many landscapes, such as Guan, mountains, sea and colors.
Laolongtou is the east starting point of Ji Town on the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty. The reason why this place is called "Laolongtou" is because people compare the Great Wall to a giant dragon. Down, galloping towards the Bohai Sea, tied a knot on the Liaoxi Corridor, erected the Shanhai Xiongguan, and then led its neck into the sea. The part that enters the sea is the old dragon head.
On the west side of the old dragon head is the Tanah Lot Temple, which was rebuilt in 1988 and extends more than 100 meters into the sea.
The Guanhai Pavilion stretches 124 meters into the sea.
The Tianhou Palace was originally located at Shihekou, and it was destroyed by the Eight-Power Allied Forces at the same time as the other three temples. It was rebuilt in 1988 to enrich tourism resources and integrated the four temples together.
Shanhaiguan and Laolongtou were battlegrounds for military strategists and border fortresses in the Ming Dynasty, so they were built repeatedly. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, this place became an inland area, and its military role was greatly weakened. It became a place for literati to enjoy the scenery , the cultural atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and there are countless legends about the scenery here. If you want to know more about this place, you should come to Qinhuangdao in person and take a good tour.
Leaving Qinhuangdao ended our 23-day journey. Home is beckoning to us. It is about 280 kilometers to Tianjin. The big windmill on the coastal expressway is slowly turning in the misty night fog. We return to The wet and stuffy environment is really uncomfortable.
When I got home, it was 8:30 in the evening. I looked at the odometer. I set off on July 6th, went to Xilinhot, and returned to Tianjin today. I drove 8,878.5 kilometers and took 23 days. I passed through Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning along the way. , Hebei provinces, countless scenic spots have been to, it should be said that this is an unforgettable and successful trip.
Summarize
The long "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon, Hulunbuir Self-Driving Tour Series" has finally been completed. Now I like writing travel notes more and more, because it not only allows me to relive the experience of a trip, but also allows me to learn a lot of knowledge about history, geography, and humanities. If we travel again in the future, we can make the preparation work as detailed as when writing travel notes, which will also be a promotion for tourism itself. It can make us more aware of which places we should pay attention to when traveling, and make travel more understandable and meaningful. .
The main goal of our trip is Inner Mongolia. On the way back, we went to Heihe, Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang and Qinhuangdao. Through this trip and writing travel notes afterwards, I gained a lot of knowledge and even subverted a lot of my historical cognition . In the past, I always believed that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the most corrupt and incompetent dynasty in Chinese history, making our country backward and beaten, losing land and humiliating the country. Like Wai Xing'an Mountains, Sakhalin Island, etc. Now I know that in fact, our country has never had effective jurisdiction over Jilin, Heilongjiang and other regions in history. If there is no Qing Dynasty, China's territorial area should be about 3 million square kilometers (Qin, Song, and Ming are all), so the Qing Dynasty still contributes to our territory today.
In Northeast my country, there are many places in addition to Chinese place names, Mongolian place names, and Russian place names, such as Erguna, also called Labudalin. It turns out that the northeast of China was briefly occupied and ruled by Russia. However, the Russo-Japanese War that took place in the Northeast miraculously helped us retain the Northeast, which must have subverted my view of history again.
Therefore, traveling can not only make us feel happy, get out of the unchanging life every day, experience nature, see the vast world, enjoy life, enjoy life, but also allow us to increase our knowledge and broaden our horizons. It can make our family get along more harmoniously.
The rivers and mountains of the motherland are so beautiful and magnificent, and the world is so big, I really want to see it.
"Twenty-three days and nights, eight thousand miles of road clouds and moon. The vast green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red for a few times."
