Do you still remember the Tangshan Earthquake in 1976? Maybe many people, like me, were not born at that time. The impression of this place is still under the concept of "big earthquake", and they don't know about Tangshan. This time I finally had the opportunity to visit Tangshan in person. Through 3 days and 7 scenic spots, I got to know and fall in love with Tangshan.
Before being destroyed by the earthquake, Tangshan was still a prosperous scene. Unexpectedly, Tangshan is still a very "foreign" place like Shanghai. The "small mountain and big world" in the memory of Tangshan people can only be modeled or imitated. Form, let everyone see this scene again.
"Tangshan Banquet" Snack Museum
There are many ways to get to Tangshan. It is more convenient to go to Tangshan by high-speed rail from Beijing and Tianjin than from downtown Beijing to the suburbs of Beijing. Now Tangshan downtown is better built than second-tier cities and is more prosperous. Especially It was the Tangshan Yan Wenlv Hotel that I stayed in this time. It should be the best hotel in the urban area. Downstairs is the "Tangshan Yan" Snack Museum, which is a large indoor food city imitating the big world of Xiaoshan.
On the first floor, four streets, two alleys, one river and one world folk culture and folk art experience block are built, including Nostalgia Workshop Street, Jingdong Food Street, Xiaoshan Style Street, and Cheap Street.
Speaking of the Tangshan Banquet, I really enjoyed my shopping so much that after the trip, I returned here to pack a delicious food to take away, especially the Roast Chicken of the Fourteenth Prince, which is definitely recommended for everyone to buy, smoked The taste is very delicious. In addition, Qizi Shaobing is also one of the specialties of Tangshan. There are red bean fillings and pork fillings. Personally, I prefer to eat meat fillings. Each cake is as small as a flag. The crispness and sesame aroma fills the whole mouth. In addition, we also recommend water fried belly, fried cake, stewed pear with rock sugar, red willow mutton skewers, and meat sandwiches.
In fact, the entire snack street is very large. In addition to specialty food, there are also some barbecue areas and surrounding food. There are occasional performances indoors, shadow puppetry, and nostalgic songs.
Kailuan National Mine Park
This is the original site of the Kailuan Coal Mine, and now it has become an external tourist attraction. There are three parts to visit here, the Kailuan Museum, the underground exploration and the mining relics.
In the Kailuan Museum, you can follow the guide to understand the past and present of Kaitangshan Mine, as well as the changes encountered, and see that the coal mining method has become more and more scientific.
Here you can see the earliest stock in China "Kaiping Mining Bureau Old Stock", and you can also see the national first-class cultural relic "Hundred Years of Sheepskin Masked Large Ledger", and you can also see the rails made by the West Cumberland Company in 1881 (physical object) ).
After understanding the development history, there will be a particularly interesting underground exploration. You can wear a helmet and go underground to see the real mining site at that time, from the earliest coal mining method to the most advanced coal mining method, as well as coal transportation. Trolley, underground geological world and so on.
If you are interested, you can find the phone (genuine) that was used at that time on the table of the underground lounge bar. This phone is specially made, because even a little spark in the underground operation may cause an explosion.
After exploring the secrets, you can see the starting point of the zero mileage of China's railways, as well as the first steam locomotive in China, the Dragon Locomotive, and the earliest standard-width railway in China.
Tangshan South Lake·Kailuan Tourist Scenic Spot
Tangshan Nanhu Tourist Scenic Spot is next to Kailuan National Mine Park. This is the settlement of coal mining at that time. The scenic spot was built after restoration. Even if I am a person from the south of the Yangtze River, I think this South Lake is comparable to West Lake.
In the scenic area, it is recommended to check in the indoor botanical garden and the live performance of "That Year of Youth" in the evening. You can take a set of beautiful photos for yourself in the botanical garden in the afternoon. The scenery here is as beautiful as Alice in Wonderland.
When night falls, the performance of "Fanghua That Year" will begin. The whole live performance is located on Yunfeng Island in Longquan Bay, Nanhu Scenic Area. Through the original buildings on the island, Yunfeng Pavilion, Yongsheng Opera Garden and Qingyin Pavilion will be carried out according to the needs of the performance. It was transformed to meet the needs of the plot and the scene, and the whole story showed the family and country feelings and the love of Liyuan people in Liyuan at that time.
The live-action performance of "That Year of Youth" has four scenes, namely Rumengling, Liyuanyi, Troubled Times and Pingju Hundred Years. During the whole performance, lighting, naked-eye 3D, holographic scenes, etc. were used to integrate the plot, music and stage. The performances of the actors on stage fully demonstrated the century-old Pingju culture.
Doma Paradise
There are so many playgrounds, why do I love Doma Paradise alone? After reading the following content, you will definitely fall in love with this place.
Doma Paradise is the only "fishing" cultural theme park created in China in the world. There are a total of 6 major themes, and more than 50 entertainment items, large and small. It is a theme park that cannot be played in a day. Relying on the geographical advantages of Caofeidian, in addition to fishing, crabbing, and clam digging, there is also a very beautiful wetland scenery.
The play methods in Dorma Paradise are still an eye-opener for me. Many facilities and equipment are built with high-tech methods combined with interactivity. This place is not only suitable for children, but also for big friends. Many projects require big friends and children to work together to complete, and learn some new knowledge through the experience.
Fishing, catching crabs, and touching clams—fishing in the water, fishing crabs, and clams are children's favorite activities to interact with nature, and it is also a must-see route for many adults to come to Dorma Paradise.
Valley rafting - the only ropeway towing rafting in the world. The river flows down from the high platform, which is not only thrilling, but also allows you to quietly enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river, enjoy the leisure and comfort of life, and is suitable for the needs of different groups of people.
Century Yachts - Nanberhill leisure boats from the United States and various high-tech luxury boats independently developed by Dorma Paradise, experience the top luxury of floating on the water. Take a yacht to swim in Doma Freshwater Lake, and shuttle among the unique water villas, which feels like Venice on the water.
Time-Space Express—the track-type water vehicle independently developed by Dorma Paradise, can be called the realistic version of the "Spirited Away" water train. The track is located underwater, and from a distance, the train seems to be floating on the water. Take the Time-Space Express Line and walk on the blue and calm water, the wind flies in through the gaps between the steel pipes, and you can feel the sky is high, the sea is wide, and the water is clear.
You don’t have to worry about catering in Dorma Paradise. There are many supply stations and a very large Dorma restaurant. It is especially worth mentioning that the seafood buffet hot pot here not only has prawns, clams, green clams, and white clams. There are more than 20 kinds of special seafood in Bohai Bay, such as zizi, as well as unlimited supply of various meats, vegetables, and fruits. You can also eat lamb from Inner Mongolia here. There are a variety of sauces, including the common sesame sauce base in the north, the oil dish that the southerners love more, and the secret seafood sauce made by Doma, as well as the special black shrimp oil here. In summer, you can enjoy the buffet with the air conditioner Seafood hot pot, is there a more comfortable way to eat than this?
Tangshan International Tourism Island
The main tourist attractions of Tangshan International Tourism Island are Bodhi Island, Moon Island and Xiangyun Island. This time we plan to live on Moon Island, so we drove all the way from Doma Paradise in Caofeidian to Tangshan Sanbei Pearl Wharf to take a cruise ship.
The boat will arrive at Yuedao in a short time. As soon as it arrives at Yuedao, the goddess of the moon will greet the guests who visit here by the pier. After checking in at the visitor center, they will finally live in the cabin that was planted with grass before.
The cabins on Moon Island are known as the Eastern Maldives. There are 5 areas in total, with different shapes and room types. There are more than 500 buildings in total. There are rooms with double beds and double beds. The rooms have independent toilets and showers. It is worth a visit. What I want to mention is that the hot water here is hot spring water. Every night after taking a shower, my body feels slippery, very comfortable, and my hair is also very smooth after washing. The night view outside the log cabin is very beautiful, and the tourists who live here like to come out to cool off after meals.
The scenery of Moon Island is also very beautiful. During the day, you can rent a tandem convertible bicycle and ride along the shore freely. In the evening, you can look at the colorful beach or walk on a bridge to explore the secrets of the uninhabited island.
Moon Island recommended itinerary: water-style cabins-sea bathing beach-hot springs-island jungle
Xiangyun Island is the place where I planted the most grass on this trip. It is still under construction, but I can already see that it will be very beautiful in the future. There will be starry sky tents and hobbit huts in the future. Not only for taking pictures, but for staying in Oh!
The golden beach on Xiangyun Island is also very beautiful. Under the sunlight, the sand on the beach looks golden. When I went there, I happened to see the Sand Sculpture Festival on the Golden Beach. The island has a particularly strong sense of art.
Bodhi Island is the last stop of this itinerary, and it is also the most religious scenic spot. Bodhi Island is a 4A scenic spot, and it is also the largest ecological island in Huabei and the closest ecological island to Beijing. The island integrates the sea, ancient temples, forests, wetlands, migratory birds and deserts. There are more than 260 kinds of plants, more than 40 kinds of wild animals, and more than 400 kinds of birds. Among them, there are more than 2,600 rare linden trees in the north. It is "a natural zoological and botanical garden hanging alone on the sea".
Bodhi Island is an island where people can calm down. There are various villas here, which are especially suitable for several families to experience Buddhist culture, meditate and purify the soul at the same time.
Bodhi Island recommended route: Lingzhu Square-Double Champs-Bodhi Forest-Guanhai Pavilion
If you want to visit these three islands, it is recommended to book a 2-day or 3-day itinerary in advance, which will save more effort. It is also recommended to check in on Moon Island or Bodhi Island for two days and one night, but remember to book boat tickets and hotels in advance.
Tangshan is really completely different from what I imagined. The post-disaster rebuilding of Tangshan city has water, scenery and vitality, and several of them returned to the Jiangnan water town by themselves in a trance. . .
