You must visit Qinhuangdao this summer!!!

Avoid tourist traps with the Beijing-Qinhuangdao travel guide for a two-day, one-night trip||| If I had to name the city in Hebei I've visited the most, aside from my hometown, it would be Qinhuangdao. I used to think that summer was the only suitable time to go to the beach to enjoy the sun and sand, but ever since I met my girlfriend, I've discovered how beautiful the island is during the off-season. 'So close, so beautiful, weekend trips to Hebei'—Qinhuangdao 🚞: 8:15-11:50 Beijing-Qinhuangdao soft seat💰66.5 (Taking the high-speed train from Beijing is not cost-effective, doesn't feel much faster) 🏨 Accommodation: Jinmeng Bay has many B&Bs (first-line sea view rooms are very nice) ❄️ Off-season: Weekends 200+, winter only 100+ so off-season is really a good deal! 🔥 Peak season: Expect to pay six to seven hundred during the May Day holiday or summer vacation (staying in the Haigang district is more cost-effective‼️) 🚗 Transportation: Taxis and ride-hailing are very convenient and not expensive, if it's close by, riding a shared electric bike is also good. Day 1⃣️: When you're at the seaside, of course, you have to eat seafood, I've personally tried two places that are not bad. Per person 💰100 🦐 Kun Wu Seafood Big Shot: Reasonably priced, an old local shop, a big pot is quite satisfying to eat. 🦀️ Xiao Jie Affordable Seafood: Their mantis shrimps are very large and all alive, very fresh, the spicy crab is also good, the boss and waiters are very nice, and the price is okay. Afternoon ⛲️ Xigang Garden: As Qinhuangdao's version of 'Little Kamakura', Xigang Garden, which used to be an old port, is especially suitable for walking and taking photos📷. Dock, lighthouse, ship, sea, railway, retro buildings, you can think of all the places to take photos. If you're tired, you can also go to a coffee shop to rest. ⛩️ Qinhuang Alley: A place with a local atmosphere at night! 🥔 Mashed Potato Stew: Sticky mashed potatoes with glutinous stew, plus sesame sauce and vinegar, are especially fragrant. 🍜 Fried Noodle Skin: The first time I heard about it on the island, after frying with shredded potatoes, then mixing with sesame sauce and small ingredients, it's especially delicious when dipped in soup. 🧋 Blushing Qin Tian Tian: A local milk tea shop on the island, quaint and tasty, and cheap, with an average price of around 10💰! Day 2️⃣ 🌊 Jinmeng Bay: If the weather is good, you can get up early to watch the sunrise🌅, if you stay by the sea, the beach is right downstairs, friends who live in the city can also come directly, and after watching, you can go to the beach. The island's off-season beach and sea🌊 are super clean, the whole sea is shining, and you can also feed seagulls! Tiffany green from KFC is also there Noon 🌶️ Gele Mountain · Sichuan Small Restaurant: (Exclusive recommendation!) Super delicious Sichuan cuisine on the island, I've been there several times with my girlfriend, close to the seaside, the fragrant spicy chicken, ordinary potato slices are not ordinary at all, glutinous fresh pepper pig's trotters are very tasty! In the afternoon, you can go to the Qinhuangdao Museum for a visit, and the garlic sauce barbecue and fried meat are also delicious! In short, the off-season island feels like a high cost-performance ratio and beautiful scenery. If you don't consider going into the sea to play, I really recommend visiting!
