This is the most comfortable hotel in Panjin.
I wanted to come to Panjin with my friends to eat crabs and see the Red Beach during the National Day holiday, so I found this hotel online. The hotel is newly opened and very stylish. There is no smell of decoration, very comfortable.
The location is very close to Wanda Plaza, it is very convenient to eat, and there are two coffee coupons for check-in. The coffee is delicious, and the coffee shop on the first floor is super photogenic.
In terms of facilities, each room is equipped with a smart toilet, disposable toilet seat, etc., especially the details👍, and my favorite bathtub. There is nothing more comfortable than taking a bath after a day of travel.
The hygiene is impeccable, and there is no fault at all.

The night view here is also a highlight. At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights are shining. There are many shops in the ancient city, and the scenery is pleasant. The development of the night tour program has turned Heifengguan Ancient Town into an all-weather tourist attraction, meeting the needs of different tourists.
I would like to especially recommend the food at the attractions. The quaint food street brings together famous snacks from all over the country, making people linger here. Whether it is a snack at a food stall or a feast in a restaurant, you can enjoy the charm of delicious food.

National Day reverse travel was a success! I recommend an underrated autumn viewing spot.
"Return from Guanshan without looking at the maple leaves." National Geographic did not lie to me. I took my child there last year. I decided to go again during National Day because it was really shocking!!
260,000 mu of maple leaves dyed more than 100 peaks and more than 200 rivers and lakes red.
The mountains and fields were red like fire, burning the entire sky. There's no need to go to Kyoto for maple leaf hunting. The Guanmen Mountain in Canada is the best place to view maple leaves in China.
The short 20-day maple leaf viewing period allows you to experience the rich autumn in the Northeast.
In 6 days, you can go from the Maple Leaf City to the World Red Coastline, witness the beautiful sunset of the Panjin Red Beach, climb the Tiger Mountain Great Wall, and see the mountains turn red.
Take a cruise on the Yalu River and enjoy the scenery of the two countries' border rivers!
Family Trip | Red Beach.
| Red Beach.
After the Heifengguan Ancient Town travel notes, many people asked about the Red Beach in Panjin. I planned a two-day trip, the first day to Heifengguan Ancient Town, and the second day to Red Beach. When I traveled in early September, the Red Beach was not all red, and I didn't see the all-red look. The scenic spot is very large. I booked tickets online. Because there were children and elderly people, I asked at the entrance when checking tickets: Are children and the elderly free? Reply: People over 70 years old are free. Enter the scenic area to queue for the sightseeing bus. We took the bus directly to the end. There are several photo check-in places where you need to queue, but it is very out of the picture. The paddy field train included in the ticket, because there are too many people in line, we gave up. Our family is a 5-year-old baby and there is really nothing to play. On the return journey, we also went directly to the entrance, and the whole journey was at most 2 hours.
Panjin Red Beach | The Most Beautiful Red Coastline.
➤ Red Beach is located in Panjin City, Liaoning Province. It is a world-renowned natural landscape. The Red Beach National Scenic Corridor is 18 kilometers long and is known as the "World's Red Coastline". Here, rivers and seas merge, and the weather is unique. It is the "northernmost coastline of China". The wetlands formed by a large area of Suaeda salsa turn red in autumn, forming a unique "Red Beach", which is breathtaking and spectacular. There are also reed marshes and rice field paintings in the scenic area, where natural and cultural landscapes complement each other.
Here are some real feelings for your reference:
1️⃣ Entrance: There are three gates from north to south: Jieguanting Gate, Triangle Delta Gate, and Erjie Ditch Gate. It is recommended to enter from Jieguanting Gate.
2️⃣ Tickets: Adult tickets are 110 yuan! In addition, you must buy a sightseeing bus ticket for 35 yuan! You must buy it!
3️⃣ Attractions: Red Beach Scenic Area Observation Corridor 18 kilometers! Walking is not suitable at all, so you must take a sightseeing bus. Each stop of the sightseeing bus corresponds to an attraction, with a total of 8 attractions, including: Wolong Lake Pier➡️Island Leisure➡️Walking on the Clouds➡️Echoes of Time➡️Towards the Sea with One Heart➡️Bridge of Love Dreams➡️Rice Dream Space➡️Lover's Island➡️Love Declaration Corridor.
4️⃣ Amazingness: First is Bridge of Love Dreams, second is Rice Dream Space, third is Walking on the Clouds! So after taking the sightseeing bus, the first stop is Bridge of Love Dreams, opposite Bridge of Love Dreams is Rice Dream Space, and go back to Walking on the Clouds! It takes 3 hours to play these three places! For friends who are short on time, these three attractions are the best choice! Friends who have plenty of time can go and play other attractions. All attractions can be seen on the sightseeing bus.
5️⃣ Sightseeing bus seats: There are four seats in a row on the sightseeing bus. When entering the park, you should sit on the right side, the attractions are all on the right side by the sea! When going back out of the scenic area, of course, sit on the left side of the sightseeing bus.
6️⃣ Color: Red Beach really looks like high-end red velvet, National Day friends must go! Best season! By the way, taste the river crabs of Panjin!
7️⃣ High-speed rail: Panjin North High-speed Rail Station is far from Panjin City or Red Beach, both taking more than 1 hour.

Panjin's Red Beach is now free of charge, so what can you take pictures of?
On my way back to Beijing, I passed by Panjin and decided to take a look at the famous Red Beach there. However, the most vibrant months for the Red Beach are from July to October, when the admission fee is 110 RMB per person. If you go now, there's very little red, mostly green and yellow.
Travel Tips:
If you go now, it's the off-season for the Red Beach, so there's no admission fee. The beach stretches for 18 kilometers, and cars are not allowed to enter. There are shuttle buses inside that charge separately. If you want to see the red-crowned cranes, you need to visit the Scarecrow Exhibition, which also charges a separate fee. It's recommended not to walk inside because it's quite large.
There are also various convertibles and sports cars for rent on-site, all charged by the hour, ranging from 150 to 880 RMB per hour. Basically, driving yourself for 2-3 hours should be enough. Many of the small shops inside are not open.
Some people online say that you can take pictures of seals and such. Indeed, there are seals, but ordinary people can't take pictures of them because that area is a protected zone. So, those who can take pictures are either accredited or have made prior arrangements.
The entire corridor has only one main road, with many areas and viewing platforms on both sides. When I went there, there was a level 5 wind, so the drone could only fly low for a short time to take a couple of shots.
Panjin is an oil extraction site, so you can see many oil extraction machines nearby. They have bright colors and are very photogenic.

🏕️About playing: The sand at Jinbo Beach🏖️is particularly fine and clean, very suitable for bringing children to play. You can bring your own tent⛺️and stools free of charge, or you can rent them if you don't bring your own. When the weather is good☀️and the waves are small🌊, the water is quite clear (go early to occupy a good spot to set up the tent). Bring a small bucket and water gun for the kids, they can play all day😄
🍾Bath management: Since it is a paid beach🏖, I think the bath management is very in place. There will be many lifeguards🛝by the sea when the waves are big. The lifeguards will also remind you in time, very responsible. The bathrooms and shower areas in the bath are also quite clean😁. The shower area is free, but the water is very cold, not suitable for children to wash🚿
📌Little Tips:
☀️Be sure to spray sunscreen and reapply it periodically
☀️Prepare several sets of clothes for children and bring their bath towels

The art museum in Panjin is incredibly photogenic!!
While citywalking with a good friend, we came to this Liaohe Art Museum in Panjin, along with the adjacent Liaohe Couplet Calligraphy Museum. The place is filled with calligraphy, and it feels like you can even smell the ink; every stroke of the calligraphy seems to resonate with authority!
We also saw the character for 'longevity' written by Empress Dowager Cixi, as well as calligraphy by Mr. Lao She and Mr. Kang Youwei. The second floor even has royal paintings and calligraphy!
Photo spots📷:
1. The corridor at the entrance, capturing a sense of extension!
2. Under the large pillars inside the Couplet Museum, you can walk and snap photos!
3. The spiral staircase is a good spot for pictures!

Internet-famous Check-in Spot - Panjin Old Street
Stepping into the Liaohekou Old Street of Panjin, it feels like traveling through time, back to the period of the Republic of China. The buildings here have retained their original historical charm and the cultural heritage is profound, making it a holy land for photography enthusiasts. During the day, the shops on the old street are closed, reducing the hustle and bustle and adding tranquility. At night, however, the old street comes to life, with brilliant lights and extraordinary liveliness, sure to provide you with an unforgettable night tour experience.
However, the environmental sanitation of the old street is not satisfactory, and what is even more unacceptable is that there is no water to wash hands in the restrooms, let alone hand sanitizer. In contrast, the restrooms at tourist attractions in the south appear clean and tidy, with complete facilities. Not only are the environments bright, but they are also equipped with hand sanitizer and toilet paper, and some high-end restrooms even have fragrances to provide a comfortable toilet environment for tourists. In addition, there are seats outside the restrooms in the south for tourists to rest, and the humanized design is admirable.
As northerners, we must face up to the gap with the south. In terms of service, we indeed have shortcomings. If we cannot improve the quality of service and pay attention to details, how can we attract tourists? Wouldn't the great tourism resources be wasted? Therefore, we should deeply reflect and learn from the advanced experiences of the south to provide tourists with a higher quality travel experience.
