During the May Day holiday, friends invited Qinhuangdao to meet.
5.1 From Xi'an to Qinhuangdao
Since the high-speed rail tickets were sold out, I took the ordinary train soft sleeper to go there that night.
At 22:15 in the evening, take the K126 train from Xi'an. The starting point of the train is Xi'an and the terminal is Changchun. The route of the train is to bypass Henan and Shandong, then enter Hebei, and arrive at Qinhuangdao from Hengshui and Tianjin.
Qinhuangdao was named after Qin Shihuang sent people to the sea to seek immortals during his east tour. It is the only city in China named after the emperor's name. Qinhuangdao governs four districts and three counties, with Haigang District as the city center, Shanhaiguan District to the east, Beidaihe District and Funing District to the west. Shanhaiguan District is dominated by historical relics, including Shanhaiguan, Laolongtou, Meng Jiangnv Temple, Jiaoshan Great Wall and other scenic spots. Beidaihe District is dominated by natural scenery, with pigeon nests, repulse bays, beaches and other recreational places. In addition, there is the golden coast of Changli County, with yellow sandy beaches and blue sea water, where water playing, sandboarding and entertainment are the main themes.
5.2 On the train
Arrive in Qinhuangdao at about nine o'clock in the evening, and check into the Lavande Hotel booked online.
5.3 Tour Beidaihe with friends
It’s the May Day holiday, and the scenic spots are crowded with people. Unlike our usual travel scene, most of the tourists are young people. It seems that for young office workers, public holidays are the only choice for travel, and it is difficult to do off-peak travel.
It was originally planned to enter Pigeon Nest Park, but due to too many tourists, it was changed to stroll along the Repulse Bay Boardwalk. Walk along the boardwalk to watch birds, and then go barefoot to the beach to play in the water. Wandering on the beach, people and nature are integrated under the blue sky.
Repulse Bay Boardwalk is a bird-watching area. There are many waterfowl in the water, and there are nameplates introducing waterfowl on the roadside fence. Due to the emphasis on environmental protection in recent years, the water is clear and the sand is clean, and water birds stroll in it leisurely. Many photographers are shooting water birds with long guns and short cannons. I have enjoyed a few photos taken by them. It is really good. The water birds are in a flying posture, which is very beautiful and dynamic.
The next group of pictures are water birds pacing and looking for food on the tidal flat when walking on the boardwalk.
The waterfowl in the picture below should be an egret, and the waterfowl in the other photos couldn't find the corresponding name.
5.4 Tour Shanhaiguan
Tickets are still very tight during the holidays, we continue to stay for two days, not to join the excitement of the return peak. Since a large number of people who traveled during the holidays have returned, the scenic spots will not be crowded.
After breakfast, take a taxi to Meng Jiangnu Temple. It takes about an hour to arrive by car. The transportation to Mengjiangnu Temple is not very convenient. Although there are buses, the frequency is very rare. Self-driving and taxis are better options.
Tickets to Meng Jiangnv Temple are 25 yuan, half price is 12 yuan for those over 60 years old, and the parking lot is 10 yuan.
According to the taxi driver: There are many Meng Jiangnv temples across the country, but the Meng Jiangnv temple in Qinhuangdao is a fake, because Meng Jiangnv is from Qin, and the Great Wall here was built in the Ming Dynasty. The Meng Jiangnu Temple in Qinhuangdao was built before the Song Dynasty and was rebuilt during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is the most complete temple dedicated to Meng Jiangnu in my country.
Entering the Meng Jiangnv Temple Scenic Spot is first a showroom, where a group of clay sculptures "Meng Jiangnv Crying at the Great Wall" made by the descendants of the clay figurine Zhang describing the story of Meng Jiangnv are displayed.
The story of Meng Jiangnu is one of the four great love stories in China, and there are many versions. The version described in the clay sculpture "Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall" is slightly mythological and satirical to Qin Shihuang. At the end of the Warring States period, the Meng family and the Jiang family were neighbors, and both of them had no children. The Meng family planted a gourd in the courtyard, and the vines of the gourd climbed to the Jiang family. When the gourd was ripe, Jiang's family split the gourd with a knife, and there was a white girl inside, who was raised by the two families and named "Meng Jiangnu". More than ten years later, when Meng Jiangnv grew up, Qin Shihuang was building the Great Wall, arresting laborers for hard labor. A scholar named Fan Xiliang accidentally broke into the courtyard of the Meng family in order to escape from hard labor. The Meng family hid him at home and married Meng Jiangnu. Unexpectedly, just three days after Fan Xiliang and Meng Jiangnv got married, Fan Xiliang was arrested by the tolerance to build the Great Wall, and soon died of hunger, cold and exhaustion, and his bones were buried under the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnv waited bitterly for her husband to return. Half a year later, there was no news. It was already late autumn. Meng Jiangnv was wearing cold clothes and went through hardships. Meng Jiangnu cried bitterly for three days and three nights under the Great Wall, and the Great Wall collapsed, revealing Fan Xiliang's body. Qin Shihuang saw Meng Jiangnv's beauty and wanted to force Meng Jiangnv to be his concubine. Meng Jiangnv pretended to agree, but asked Qin Shihuang to do three things: ask the monk to recite sutras for 49 days and then bury Fan Xiliang. Qin Shihuang personally led all the ministers to mourn Fan Xiliang. marriage. Qin Shihuang agreed to Meng Jiangnu's request. After the three things were done, Meng Jiangnv scolded Qin Shihuang, and then jumped into the rough sea.
It can be seen from the first half and the second half of this story that the story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall belongs to folklore. The prototype of the story of "Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall" may have originated from "Zuo Zhuan". According to "Zuo Zhuan" records, during the Spring and Autumn Period, in the fourth year of Duke Zhuang of Qi, Qi attacked Wei and Jin, and Qi Liang, the doctor of Qi, died in battle. His wife cried for ten days, and the city wall collapsed. With the passage of time and the evolution of time, the story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall was processed and sung among the people, gradually adding mythological content, regional color and anti-tyranny expectations.
The next two pictures are scenes from the clay sculpture "Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall". The picture below shows Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall, exposing Fan Xiliang's body.
The picture below shows Qin Shihuang forcing Meng Jiangnu to be his concubine, and Meng Jiangnu scolded Qin Shihuang for throwing herself into the sea.
Continue to the newly built white marble statue of Meng Jiangnv overlooking the Great Wall; turn around and you can see the gate of Meng Jiangnv Temple, also known as the Shrine of the Virgin. Climb up the 108 steps and enter the Meng Jiangnv Temple. There are Meng Jiangnv Hall, Guanyin Hall, Wangfu Stone, Zhenyi Pavilion, Haiyan and other scenic spots in Meng Jiangnv Temple. There is also Meng Jiangnv Garden in the scenic area of Meng Jiangnv Temple, which is a newly built garden imitating the style of Jiangnan. As the main line, scenes such as farewell in long pavilions, relatives in foreign lands, seeing off in green forests, and sad songs of customs clearance have been built.
The picture below shows the new white marble statue of Meng Jiangnv looking at the Great Wall.
The picture below is the Wangfu Stone. There is a pit on the Wangfu Stone. According to legend, it is the footprints left by Meng Jiangnv's husband. It is said that Meng Jiangnv found her husband so far. It was getting late and the city gate was closed. Meng Jiangnv could not pass through, so she had to stand on this stone and look far away, hoping to see her husband. Unexpectedly, her footprints were deeply imprinted on the stone overnight. inside.
Next to Wangfu Stone is Zhenyi Pavilion, which is said to be the place where Meng Jiangnu dresses and changes clothes. Below the Wangfu Stone is the sea eye, which is a stone cave. The shape of the hole is very similar to human eyes, so it is called "sea eye". It is said that the water here is connected to the sea, it does not freeze in winter, and it does not dry up in summer. If you put your ears on the stone wall, you can hear the sound of the tide. Of course, the sayings about Wangfushi and Haiyan may just be beautiful legends.
The picture below shows the 108 steps leading to the Meng Jiangnv Temple. The 108 steps are said to be repaired by Zhang Xueliang, representing the 108 difficulties Meng Jiangnv experienced.
The picture below is the gate of Meng Jiangnu Temple, which is a key cultural relic protection unit in Hebei Province.
On the left hand of entering the mountain gate is the Meng Jiangnv Hall. In the hall, there is a statue of Meng Jiangnv with a phoenix crown and a xiapei. Jiangnu is still alive, and she will be a piece of Shi Mingzhen for thousands of years." It is said that it was written by Wen Tianxiang in the Southern Song Dynasty. On the east wall of the hall, there is an inscription "No. 1 Pass in the World", which is consistent with the specifications of the plaque on the pass city of Shanhaiguan. It is said that it was engraved by Zhang Xueliang when he donated money to rebuild the temple in 1928. The inscriptions on the west wall are the imperial inscriptions of Qing emperors Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang.
The couplet in front of Meng Jiangnu's Hall is very famous, and it is known as the most strange couplet in the world. Similar overlapping couplets are also found in Jiangxin Temple in Wenzhou, "The clouds are scattered, and the tides are long and long and long and long and long and long." The difference between the two couplets is only a few words. The couplets in Jiangxin Temple were written by Wang Shiming, the number one scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty. One said that the couplets in Meng Jiangnv Temple were made by Xu Wei, a talented scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and the other said that they were made by Anonymous. Therefore, experts believe that the couplets in Meng Jiangnv Temple are very likely to be the couplets in Wenzhou Jiangxin Temple. imitation.
Out of admiration for Meng Jiangnv, there are Meng Jiangnv temples in many places across the country. The Meng Jiangnv Temple in Qinhuangdao is unique because it faces the sea from Shanhaiguan. Little reputation.
The picture below is the couplet in front of Meng Jiangnv's Hall, "The sea water is falling, and the clouds are long, long, long, long and long."
The Meng Jiangnv Temple is not a big scenic spot, and there is not much content. It can be completed in about half an hour. Gourd is a special tourist product of Meng Jiangnu Temple.
From Mengjiangnu Temple to Laolongtou, the ticket for Laolongtou Scenic Spot is 50 yuan, and if including the palace, it is 80 yuan. If you buy a ticket for the Xinggong alone, it costs 40 yuan. The Xinggong is called the Great Wall Art Museum of China. In fact, it has nothing to do with the Great Wall. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a replica of the Golden Temple. There are some exhibitions such as dragon robes, and the rest is selling calligraphy. Handicrafts such as paintings, fans, etc. are really not worth visiting.
Laolongtou is the eastern starting point of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. It is a section of the Great Wall that extends into the sea. The stone city entering the sea is like a dragon's head protruding into the sea, so it is named "Old Dragon's Head". "Old Dragon Head" was built in the seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, and it was the terminal of the Guanning brocade defense line in the Ming Dynasty. According to historical records, Qi Jiguang presided over the construction of the "Old Dragon Head". Qi Jiguang used the method of covering the bottom with an iron pot to solve the problem of unstable foundation of the city wall caused by quicksand on the seabed.
In the "Old Dragon Head" scenic area, there are Ninghai City, Chenghai Tower, Yubei Pavilion, Sea God Temple, Bafeng Formation, Barracks and other scenic spots. There is a section of sandy beach with fine sand on the seashore. It is very pleasant to walk on the beach with bare feet, and the warm fine sand wraps the feet very comfortably and comfortably.
The next two pictures are the "Old Dragon Head" stone city protruding into the sea and the fine sandy beach that is very comfortable for the feet.
The following two pictures are the commanding heights of the old dragon head - Chenghai Building. The plaque hanging on the upper floor "Xiongjin Wanli" was inscribed by Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty and a national hero, and written by the modern calligrapher Hou Zhengrong. The Chenghai Tower is no longer allowed to climb, and it is impossible to experience the feeling of "the Great Wall connects the sea to the sky, and people fly to the top of the hundred-foot tower" from the tower.
Next to the Chenghai Tower is the Royal Stele Pavilion, which displays the imperial pen poems written by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty when they ascended the Chenghai Tower. The picture below shows the main stele of the Royal Stele Pavilion.
The picture below is Fan Zeng's calligraphic stone inscription "The Line of the Country, the Prestige of Shenzhou".
The picture below is the Ming Dynasty stone carving "as much as a spoon", which was cleaned out when the "Old Dragon Head" was restored in 1998. "As much as a spoonful" comes from the erudition chapter of "The Doctrine of the Mean", which means that the water of the sea is gathered by spoonfuls of water, but it is unfathomable.
Tanah Lot and Laolongtou face each other across the beach. The picture below shows the surging beach and Laolongtou seen from the sea temple.
The Sea God Temple was first built in the early Ming Dynasty, and was destroyed by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the 26th year of Guangxu (1900). The current Sea God Temple was rebuilt on the site in 1988 according to its original appearance. The front hall of the Sea God Temple is the Sea God Hall, which is dedicated to the Sea God, and the back hall is the Tianhou Hall, which is dedicated to Mazu. The two gods are gods who protect the safety of the sea, one in the north and the other in the south.
The Sea Viewing Pavilion of the Sea God Temple stretches into the sea, facing the Great Wall that stretches into the sea - Laolongtou across the beach. The picture below is the Sea Viewing Pavilion protruding into the sea from the Sea God Temple.
The picture below is the old dragon head seen from the verandah of the Sea God Temple.
The picture below is the city gate of Ninghai City. Ninghai City was built in the early Ming Dynasty as a city for stationing troops and training soldiers. Entering the city gate is a unique inner urn built inside the city gate, which is really rare in the structure of ancient Chinese cities.
The picture below shows the Eight Diagrams Array in the scenic area, which is a favorite place for little boys. The best way to play is to stand alone on the city wall, condescending, and direct the people who enter the Eight Diagrams Array to walk along the correct route.
The building opposite the Eight Diagrams Array is a restored barracks.
The old dragon head scenic spot is not a palace worth seeing. The building is magnificent, but the content is very poor.
It is very convenient to take the free shuttle bus to Shanhaiguan with the old dragon head ticket, and the drive takes more than half an hour.
The shuttle bus stops at the east gate of Shanhaiguan Scenic Area. Shanhaiguan tickets are 40 yuan, half price for those over 60 years old.
Shanhaiguan was first built in the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381). Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ordered the general Xu Da to build a city here, build a pass and set up guards, and guard the throat of the Liaoxi Corridor. Shanhaiguan is the center of the Guanning Jin line of defense in the Ming Dynasty. It is named "Shanhaiguan" because it is adjacent to Yanshan Mountain in the north, Bohai Sea in the south, and the Great Wall runs through it.
The Great Wall is a symbol of China and a military defense project in ancient China. Its construction history can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. After Qin unified the six countries, Qin Shihuang connected the Great Wall built by various countries during the Warring States Period, and it was called the Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to overhaul the Great Wall. Most of the Great Wall passes seen today were built in the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Zhenbeitai in Yulin in the east, and ends at Jiayuguan on the edge of the desert in the west.
The Great Wall pass in the desert has left us with many popular frontier poems, "The yellow sand wears golden armor in every battle, and if you don't break the Loulan, you will never return it", "Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows, and the spring breeze does not pass through Yumenguan". Shanhaiguan, which is "unmatched in the lock and key of the two capitals, and the first pass of the Great Wall", tells us more about the war stories between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, such as the Battle of the Hunhe River, the Battle of Saerhu, and the Battle of Songjin. Shanhaiguan was the main battlefield of the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty. Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Dorgon of the Manchu Qing Dynasty took turns to stage, interpreting many stories of gold and iron horses. The Ming Dynasty was overthrown by Li Zicheng, but ended by Dorgon. The end of the Ming Dynasty had rotted to the core. Although Emperor Chongzhen wanted to rejuvenate, the country was powerless and the emperor was incompetent. In desperation, he had no choice but to hang himself on Meishan. Emperor Chongzhen Ling Chi executed Yuan Chonghuan and destroyed the Great Wall himself; Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou descended to the Qing Dynasty and helped the Qing Dynasty attack the Ming Dynasty. What's more, Wu Sangui "became a beauty in a rage", opened Shanhaiguan to attract Qing soldiers to enter the pass, and kicked off the prelude to the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty.
With the unification of mountains and rivers and the development of the times, Shanhaiguan, as a pass of the Great Wall, has gradually lost its military defense function, and has become more of a geographical boundary and a symbol of regional concept differences. Shanhaiguan is the geographical boundary between the Central Plains and the Northeast. It is the Shanhaiguan that "passes through the Guandong"; it is the barriers of different concepts inside and outside the Shanhaiguan that cannot be "invested in the Shanhaiguan".
To visit the Shanhaiguan scenic spot, you need to climb the long horse path to the Shanhaiguan Guanlou. The Guanlou is also called "Zhendonglou". The plaque of Shanhaiguan's "No. 1 Pass in the World" was inscribed by Xiao Xian, a Jinshi calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty. The font is vigorous and powerful, and the plaque faces the pass.
At present, it is not allowed to go up to the Guanlou, so you can only see the "No. 1 Pass in the World" plaque on the first floor of the Guanlou and the third plaque hanging upstairs. There is also a "No. 1 Pass in the World" hanging on the second floor of the Guanlou. plaque. According to the staff, the plaque hanging on the first floor of the Guanlou is the original work. A restoration map of the ancient buildings of the Shanhaiguan Pass of the Great Wall hangs under the huge plaque, giving a panoramic view of the Shanhaiguan Great Wall. The prefix of the word "Di" on the plaque of "The First Pass in the World" was changed from the prefix of "Bamboo" to the prefix of "Cao", which is said to reduce the strokes and weight, so that the character "Guan" is more vigorous , balanced at both ends, is known as the most vigorous and powerful typo. There are many legends about the origin of the "No. 1 Pass in the World" plaque.
Going east along the city wall of Guancheng, Jingyuan Building is located at the southeast corner of Shanhaiguan. The original building was blown up by Japanese artillery in 1933. The current building was rebuilt in 1986 according to the original appearance of the Ming Dynasty. Inside the building are exhibits related to Shanhaiguan. The merits and demerits of the generals. Going west along the Guancheng city wall is Linlu Tower.
Walking along the city wall of Guancheng, overlooking the scenery inside and outside the city, there are some statues of the Ming army defending the city on the wall, reflecting the scene of the fierce battle in those years.
Walk along the streets of the ancient city. The ancient city is undergoing retro development. Along the way, there are many scenic spots such as the Bell and Drum Tower, Shuangwenjing, Zongbingfu, Guandi Temple, Great Mercy Temple, Cheng'en Station, and Ying'en Building. In the ancient city, I walked 22,000 steps all day, exceeding the task. Take bus No. 33 back to the hotel.
The picture below shows Yingen Building, which is the west gate of the scenic spot.
The picture below shows the Bell Tower.
5.5 Visit Qinhuangdao
I planned to visit the Qinhuangdao Museum to learn about the history and customs of Qinhuangdao. I found the address and exhibition content of the Qinhuangdao Museum on the Internet, but I couldn’t find the route on the Baidu map. It took me many times to figure out that the Qinhuangdao Museum is under construction and has not yet opened.
Changed the plan and took the bus to visit Qinhuangdao Glass Museum. Qinhuangdao City Glass Museum is free to visit with vouchers.
The museum is built on the site of the former Qinhuangdao Yaohua Glass Factory, which was established in 1924 as a joint venture glass factory between China and Belgium. At present, Qinhuangdao Yaohua Glass Factory has been relocated to the suburbs. Some of the original factory buildings and water towers have been preserved in the past factory area. The preserved factory buildings have been turned into museums, and other places have been developed into real estate.
The museum exhibition is divided into four parts: ancient glass, the cradle of China's glass industry, China's contemporary glass industry, and brilliant glass art, which can be viewed at a glance.
The picture below shows the glass decoration in the museum. If you look closely, you will know that the scene in the picture is not stained glass, but a film.
Return to the hotel from Qinhuangdao City Glass Museum, have lunch and check out. Since the return flight is at night, take a taxi to visit the place where Qinhuang Qiuxian enters the sea.
Tickets for the place where Emperor Qin Qiuxian enters the sea are 45 yuan. The first place to enter the scenic area is the large-scale group sculptures of Qin Shihuang Jieshi, the unification of China and one emperor through the ages. There are twelve mythical beasts lined up on both sides of the group sculptures. The plaque on the main entrance of the place where the emperor of Qin sought immortality was inscribed by Mr. Zhao Puchu.
According to "Historical Records: The Benji of Qin Shihuang", Qin Shihuang visited Jieshi for the fourth time in 215 BC. Elixir of life. In the 13th year of Chenghua reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, a stele of "the place where Emperor Qin asked for immortals to enter the sea" was erected to mark the holy place. The original stele was destroyed in 1966. In 1988, 8 remnants of steles were cleared from the beach. The handwriting has been eroded by sea water and cannot be recognized.
The picture below shows the main entrance where the Emperor Qin asked for immortals to enter the sea. The plaque on the main entrance was inscribed by Mr. Zhao Puchu.
The picture below shows the large-scale group sculptures of Qin Shihuang Jieshihang.
There are mythical beasts arranged on both sides of the group sculptures, a three-headed chicken and a flying horse with wings.
There are Warring States Customs Garden, Qiuxian Temple, Qiuxian Road, Qiuxian Terrace and other scenic spots in the park where Emperor Qinhuang Qiuxian enters the sea. There is a very simple exhibition in the Hall of Immortals. You can go up to the Hall of Immortals. When you climb up the Hall of Immortals, you can see the Qiuxian Road extending to the sea, the statue of Qin Shihuang, the plank road extending to the sea, and Qinhuangdao Port opposite. The Qiuxian Plank Road does not belong to the park where the Emperor of Qin Qiuxian enters the sea. You have to enter after leaving the park, and you cannot return after you go out.
The picture below shows the Qiuxian Road, the statue of Qin Shihuang and the Qiuxian plank road stretching into the sea from the Qiuxian Temple.
The picture below shows Qinhuangdao Port on the opposite side.
The statue of Xu Fu stands outside the pavilion where the treasure of the town and garden is stored, the remnant stele.
Xu Fu's journey to the east is a well-known story. According to legend, Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to take thousands of boys and girls out to sea to search for immortal medicines. It is estimated that Xu Fu will not come back, the elixir that does not exist cannot be found, and the elixir of immortality cannot be found, and if he returns, he will die. It is said that Xu Fu's failure to return to sea was also one of the causes of Qin Shihuang's "burning books and burying scholars". He felt deceived by alchemists. It is not necessarily the long-cherished wish of every common people to attain Taoism and become immortal, but it is the psychological expectation of every common people to pray for God's blessing, blessing and longevity. Emperors are inevitable and more urgent. This is not the place where Xu Fu went to sea and crossed to the east.
Along the Qiuxian Road down to the seaside, the statue of Qin Shihuang holding a noble and respecting the sea and seeking immortals stands there, hoping that the alchemists who went to the sea to seek immortals can bring back the medicine of immortality. Next to it are statues of boys and girls.
The plank road that stretches into the sea is called Qiuxian plank road, which is another scenic spot, and the ticket is 2 yuan. The Qiuxian plank road seems to be a tourist project funded by local farmers. At the end of the plank road is a white lighthouse.
Get out from the place where Qinhuang Qiuxian enters the sea, take a taxi back to the hotel, and take the civil aviation bus to Qinhuangdao Beidaihe Airport.
Qinhuangdao Beidaihe Airport is located in Changli County, more than 70 kilometers away from Qinhuangdao City, and it takes 1 hour and 40 minutes by car. The full name of the airport is Qinhuangdao Beidaihe Airport. Qinhuangdao's airport was originally Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan Airport, which is an international airport for both military and civilian purposes. After the opening of Qinhuangdao Beidaihe Airport, Shanhaiguan Airport has been restored as a military airport. If you use Baidu Map to search Beidaihe Airport, the location and picture given are Shanhaiguan Airport, and there is an error in the label on Baidu Map.
For the return flight by Changan Airlines, the air ticket plus the airport construction fee is 490 yuan, which is cheaper than the high-speed rail and train sleeper. Changan Airlines is a branch of HNA, and the service is as good as ever.
The flight is on time, and it is raining in Xi'an, so I will take a special car to go home.
