It is estimated that there are not many young people watching the news and listening to the weather forecast every day. This is the habit of my family for many years. The one-hour news live broadcast after dinner is a precious time to spend with my family.


My parents never allow me to turn the channel to the weather forecast after the news. Although there are more convenient weather software, I think it may be that they care about the people all over the motherland and worry about whether they live in the hot water. This concern for the country and the people I was moved by my heart (that is, I was too idle), and then I lamented that it was hot everywhere in summer every day.


In summer, the temperature in all parts of the country soars red, and now even the north is unbearably hot, the continuous high temperature in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, my father who cares about the capital and his ancestral home (my ancestral home is Tianjin~) Speaking of it, it’s summer, the leaders of Beijing We all went to Beidaihe to escape the summer heat. Beidaihe is a summer resort.

This time I finally had the opportunity to play in Beidaihe. Beidaihe has now developed many areas. The traditional Beidaihe area has concentrated classic attractions, and the Côte d'Azur area I came to this time is more suitable for family travel. This is a family-friendly resort in Beidaihe.


Beidaihe is the closest sea to Beijing. Take a short errand on Friday afternoon and leave as soon as you say it. This is an ideal 5+3 Beibei life. Beibei refers to Beijing and Beidaihe. 5+3 is better than the traditional 5+3. +2 extra day, mainly because Beidaihe is relatively close to Beijing, if you leave on Friday, you will have an extra day of vacation.

The whole summer vacation is the peak tourist season here, especially on weekends. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is the first choice for summer weekend travel.

Beidaihe Airport is still a long way from the parent-child hotel in Xixi we booked. There is an airport bus to Qinhuangdao Railway Station, 40 yuan per person. If you think it will be a bit troublesome, you can take a taxi directly. The journey takes 45 minutes, and it takes about one hour one hundred and eight.


After putting down the luggage, we rushed to the sea as soon as possible. The hotel has a battery car that can be sent to the attractions you want to go. Get off at the landmark lighthouse, and you can see the Tinghai Plank Road, which is the best place to watch the sunrise.


The sand on the beach here is said to have been processed seven times to get such a fine sand. It is no problem to walk barefoot, but there are still some shells on the side near the sea. Children should be careful not to scratch their feet.


On the stretching coastline, there are many places where you can take pictures, plank roads, sea view photo frames, and swings. I especially like this seaside swing. There are three places specially for it. It is very warm for a family of three to take a picture of swinging.

As you walk forward, you will see many sailing boats by the sea. This is the SEATOPIA sailing base on the Azure Coast. It is one of the most mature and stable sailing clubs in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The Qinhuangdao Sailing and Windsurfing Association is also here.


As an alternative base for sailing competitions in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, its geographical advantages have been recognized at the national level.


SEATOPIA's navigation base is located in the Bohai Bay, and the summer wind is around 2 to 4, which is very suitable for navigation.


For those who are eager to be able to sail, they can learn sailing knowledge here, and participate in entertaining competitions, feel the speed and passion in the depths of the sea, and become a braver version of themselves.

The boats of BSC Sailing Club are all professional sailing boats from Germany. There are 80 boats including 22-foot omege, topper, taz and kayaks. Specifically for children and teenagers summer training camp, adults will also tailor courses according to your own specific situation.


In addition to courses, the Navigation Center also has experience services for tourists, you can make an appointment first.

After filling out the form, the coach took us to put on life jackets, and approached the sailboats barefoot. These sailboats were parked on the shore, do not push them into the sea with two-wheeled vehicles. The friends and coaches worked hard for a while before pushing them into the sea, and they were already half wet , still have to wear a swimsuit.


I asked the coach before going into the water, try not to sail the boat for fear of getting wet, it is still a bit cold today.

Unexpectedly, when I got into the water, I saw a few boats capsized next to me. The coach said that the sailing boat must capsize.


When boarding the boat on the shore, the wind and waves are very strong, but it is better to drive to the farther area.

Unpowered sailing is really difficult to control. The coaches are busy all over the place, controlling the direction of the rudder and sails. Beginners really have no way to start, and it is not something that can be learned immediately.


After more than half an hour of experience, it is very interesting and fresh. This sport is not available in every seaside, and it is also a feature of the Côte d'Azur. Recommended to play~

Living in the forest, everything has a sound


Staying away from the city and coming to the seaside, the air is fresh and breathing is much smoother, not only because the wind brings the humid air from the Bohai Sea, but also because there are wetlands and large forests here. "Use the verdant forest as a ostentation and native trees as a ceremonial guard", we have always dreamed of such an artistic conception, but it is difficult to realize it, especially in a prosperous area like the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area.

The hotel we live in is facing a wetland, the name is very poetic, everything sounds Wetland Park, as soon as you enter the wetland park, you will see an orange running track, an oasis in front of you, rippling reeds, and small stone roads.


There is a white house next to the wetland, which is a bird-watching pavilion. The name is quite poetic. Birds and fish. Beidaihe has always been a bird-watching resort. It is said that there are more than 100 kinds of birds in this wetland alone. Maybe the season is not right, so I didn’t observe it. Then, wait until the migration season, you will see more birds.

The SEATOPIA Central Park on the Côte d'Azur has been officially opened recently. Its appearance not only fills this gap, but also makes the 3 square kilometers living environment of the Côte d'Azur more dreamy and livable. People who come here can really return to nature, and in the intimate communication with the ecology, feel the power and maintenance that nature gives to the body and mind. In the warm holiday atmosphere, you can understand life better and understand the meaning of family and love better.


There are Bay Treasure Hunting Park and Jungle Adventure Park where children can play freely, creating a new model of playing, learning, and living at the same time. Combined with adventure trails, spray gardens, barbecue sites and other landscapes to provide a variety of family activity experiences ; There are also sports bases represented by Linxi Golf and Crazy Sports Ground, so that owners can return to nature, return to instinct, find themselves, release stress, and cultivate themselves during sports; there are also aromatic botanical gardens, butterflies come to the wild, the sky and the star tree The romantic landscape represented by the house creates a fantasy and romantic holiday atmosphere with the flowers before the moon and the clear water.


There are many sports facilities in this park, such as the basketball court, football field and golf course, especially the golf course, which has a driving range of 20,000 mu. There is a fee for golf and there are corresponding discounts for owners and hotel guests.


There is also a sports field next to it

There is also an adventure park and playground near the playground, suitable for parent-child fun


Children's Paradise

Said to be the most suitable beach for parent-child travel, the French Riviera deserves its name. There is a children's hall in the center of the town, a pastoral vegetable planting base, a small zoo, and almost every park has children's amusement facilities. We want to play too, but the staff ruthlessly told us that only under 12 years old, I still A baby is beyond the standard.


I like this blue&pink the most among several amusement facilities. There are many chain stores, and one is also opened in the Cote d'Azur. The facilities inside are really cute.

Before entering, the staff will give you a non-slip sock, so be careful when walking in it.


The shoe cabinets are so cute. The design of the children's hall is fresh and cute, and the little girl is so happy to see it, there are all kinds of princess fans and play toys.


There is a slide on the second floor, and the friends who were traveling with me refused to take it away when they saw the slide and the ocean ball, big children!


The interior of the stairs leading to the slide is particularly beautiful in a deep ocean blue which I love.


There is also a place that is very suitable for children to play, pastoral. Next to the Wetland Park with the Sound of Everything, various vegetables and fruits are planted, which can be entertaining and educational.


not yet red tomato

This is cilantro.

This is the first time I have seen purple flowers from eggplants.


There is also a small zoo in the vegetable and fruit area, with little rabbits, lambs and alpacas. It may be too hot, and the staff shaved the alpaca hair. Hahaha, it is so funny.


Many parents bought some carrots for their children to feed the animals.


There are also children's play facilities next to the Pastoral, parents should take good care of them.

Cat's Castle in the Sky


A bookstore warms a city.


There are two bookstores on the Côte d'Azur, one is Cat's Sky, and the other is Between the Lines.

Walking forward from the playground is the center of the town. If you are tired from playing, you can come to Maokong to sit here. It just so happens that it will rain, so we also take shelter from the rain.

The Maokong here on the Côte d’Azur is the largest in the country. The Maokong on Shanghai Daxue Road I used to take photos for customers there before, and Maokong has always been very photogenic.

How can there be no cats in the sky of cats? It is written outside the cat cage that the cat has a bad temper, hahaha.

I have always liked the cultural and creative products of Maokong. The cute gadgets have attracted the attention of many children.

The little sumo is super cute, and I am happy when I look fat.

This Maokong has a special area suitable for children to read books. I have never seen so many children in Maokong.

There is also a bookstore located between the lines in the villa area. It is located in the villa area. There are also many apartments and villas for sale here. Many people who live in the surrounding area will choose to buy a house in the Cote d’Azur. The environment, plus the surrounding parks, entertainment Facilities, living here is like being on vacation every day.




our bistro


There is always a tavern by the sea, and there is a bar next to the navigation center. There were quite a lot of activities during the World Cup in the past few weeks, and singers were invited to sing live. Maybe it was a typhoon day when I came, and it was a bit deserted during the day, but at night It's quite lively, giving young people an extra source of entertainment at night, but it closes at eight o'clock.

There is a supermarket near the hotel, which also sells wine, snacks, vegetables and fruits.

There is a cafe downstairs in Xixi’s Children’s Hotel, Red Card Coffee. Many friends feel uncomfortable without coffee every day, so it’s the nearest emergency. The cafe not only has coffee, but also sells sandwiches, ice cream, and coffee utensils.

There are various coffee brands under the glass table, this design is very special.

Another coffee shop is in the center of the town. There is a seatopia coffee in the sales office. There are four diamond-shaped buildings in the center of the town. I learned from the staff that Qinhuangdao is known as the City of Glass, especially at night. , extraordinarily brightly lit.




our little kitchen


There are five restaurants in the entire Riviera, YOYO Restaurant, Xixi's Kitchen 1, Xixi's Kitchen 2, Super Kitchen, and LAN Clubhouse. Except that the LAN club is a little far away, it is suitable for shopping in Central Park and eating, and the others are very close to the hotel and the beach.


There is a YOYO restaurant downstairs in the children's parent-child hotel where I live. Like the hotel, it is a parent-child-themed restaurant. Just look at the cute decoration.

It opened at 5:30. We were hungry after 5:00, so we went downstairs to wait. We ordered three dishes: ants climbing trees, lychee shrimp balls, and beef noodles with beans. After an hour, the number of diners gradually increased, and the serving speed slowed down. The average per capita is about 100. The taste is good, and there is also a children's set meal, recommended!


Not far from the hotel, there are two kitchens under their banners. Xixi’s kitchen is a bit like a cafeteria. You can take a plate by yourself, pick up meals by yourself, and finally check out. Xixi’s kitchen 1 is open to owners, and you can only eat if you live in an apartment. 2 Kitchen No. 1 is aimed at tourists and hotel guests. The price of the dishes is relatively affordable. Two people ordered 8 side dishes, more than 70, and the taste is also good. Recommended. .


Compared with the latter two restaurants, the first two restaurants have more people eating, and the price/performance ratio is also good. The closest to the beach is Super Kitchen, which specializes in Western food. There are not many places, and there are fewer people eating. In a transparent box, the environment is very good. There is an open kitchen upstairs, which feels like there is a baking class. It is probably facing the owner. It is really nice to live here, and various activities are often organized.


The little stool made by the baby is really cute.

Farther away is the LAN clubhouse, which specializes in Cantonese cuisine, and the relative price will be higher. This place is closer to Central Park, so you can eat here when you have a good meal.


I ordered regular crystal shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken feet, dry fried beef, tea tree mushroom, dragon and phoenix, and garlic okra.


Longfeng Chengxiang is actually stir-fried shrimp with seasonal vegetables, sweet and sour taste, very appetizing in summer, this dish is highly recommended! Garlic okra is also strongly recommended. This is the first time I have eaten garlic-flavored okra. It is very fragrant!

【transportation】

It is more convenient for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to take the high-speed rail to Beidaihe Railway Station. There is an airport in Beidaihe, but there are very few flights, only four flights a day, and it is very far away from the city and scenic spots.


Beidaihe Railway Station

Take a taxi to Côte d'Azur for 20-30 yuan, half an hour. Take a taxi from Côte d'Azur to the train station. It is best to make an appointment in advance. There are very few cars here, and there is no taxi service in the hotel. It is difficult to hail a taxi. In the end we still Called Didi Express.

There is a bus here to the train station, No. 806, but there are not many shifts, 40 minutes and a half. If you choose to take the bus, you need to reserve time. It takes about an hour to get to the train station.


Beidaihe Airport

It costs 180-200 yuan to take a taxi to the Azure Coast, an hour, and 40 yuan for the airport bus to Qinhuangdao Railway Station.


【stay】

There are children's hotels and apartment hotels in Xixi for accommodation on the Côte d'Azur. The Marriott Hotel is under construction, and it is estimated that it will take a few years. There are also model rooms converted into homestays, which will open to the public soon.


This time we stayed in Xixi's parent-child hotel, which focuses on parent-child themes, and the rooms are also very cute, mainly in parent-child style and Nordic style. The Nordic-style room we live in is quite big.

There are slippers, toothbrushes, and toiletries for children in the room, and even a small portion of mineral water is provided. It is very convenient to take children out to live.

There are children's play facilities on several floors of the hotel, as well as at the entrance of the hotel. The design is still very considerate.

The two-day vacation time on weekends always goes by extremely fast. Escaping on weekends seems to be a new way of life. Escape from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, escape from the fast pace of the city, enjoy leisure time, slow down, and return to nature and simplicity. Especially for parents, they hope to keep their children close to nature, entertaining and entertaining. The Azure Coast of Beidaihe is such a place to escape. Instead of staying at home for two days on weekends, it is better to come to the beach to enjoy the cool summer breeze , spend slow time with family.
