|Beijing also has a "Great Tang All Night City". Tangshan | Beijing also has a "Great Tang All Night City" I always felt that Beijing needed a place like the Great Tang All Night City, and now it's here. Located in Tangshan, Hetou Old Street is the best place in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to experience the Tang Dynasty. Hetou Old Street is located in Tangshan City. It is very convenient to drive from Beijing/Tianjin or take the high-speed rail. Spend a weekend and travel back to the Tang Dynasty. This was originally the head of two artificial canals in Tangshan City, the Meihe River and the Tangjin Canal, hence the name "Hetou Town". The Meihe River was excavated in 1881 and was the first lifeline for transporting coal from the Kaiping Mine. During the canal's heyday, merchants gathered here and it was a prosperous place. Unfortunately, it later declined, leaving behind a Chinatown. After a ten-year hiatus, the area has been transformed into an old town with a Tang Dynasty theme, which is now Hetou Old Street. As for why Tangshan is building Tang culture, it is related to the name of Tangshan. It is said that when Emperor Taizong of Tang led an expedition to Goryeo, he stationed troops on a mountain north of Tangshan. This mountain was therefore called Tangshan, and the name was used for the town. From this perspective, it is natural for Tangshan to build Tang culture. As it was just built, the area is not yet well-known. However, due to its internet celebrity status and the lack of Tang culture carriers in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, it has quickly become popular. The crowds are lively, and the female tourists dressed in Tang Dynasty costumes on the street add to the atmosphere. Let's talk about the travel experience: About the entrance: Hetou Old Street has three gates, and all three can be used to enter and exit. Many people say to enter from the south gate, but I think it doesn't matter which gate you enter from. The best way to explore is to walk around the canal. No matter which way you go, you will end up back where you started. If you only want to take a boat, it is recommended to enter from the south gate. About the route: The best way to experience the area is on foot. It is not recommended to take a boat, as the scenery from the boat is not as good as walking along the canal bridges on both sides. It is recommended to walk around the canal bridges. You can see almost everything, and you will pass by the main performance areas. About the boat trip: Take a boat from Shengshi Wharf, the full journey costs 98 yuan, and the half journey costs 58 yuan. About dining: The dining area of Hetou Old Street is near the Water Market, which is the south end of the canal. All restaurants are concentrated here, but the taste is average, and most of the dishes are pre-made. If you want to eat authentic Tangshan cuisine, it is recommended to go to the city. About tickets: Originally, there was no entrance fee, but this year, an entrance fee has been introduced. The current ticket policy is: weekdays 58 yuan, weekends 78 yuan, holidays + winter and summer vacations 98 yuan. About time: Generally, the park opens at 4 pm, and performances start around 4 pm. However, in my opinion, these performances are optional. The most important experience is the night view. You can also come after dinner, as the food in the scenic area is not very good.

The night view is very beautiful, it is recommended to go before the lights are turned on, we went in at around six o'clock, entering from the gate near the big Ferris wheel. 😊 2. The whole journey is not very long, and the road is relatively flat compared to Gubei Water Town. It is suitable for elderly people, as it won't hurt their feet and reduces the risk of falling. Wheels can also move smoothly. 3. Each small area has small performances, which are quite anticipated. 4. Half of the journey is walking, and the other half is by boat. Personally, I think it is very suitable. 5. It is recommended to walk along the small alleys by the river at the entrance, as there are more shops. We walked along the road across the river, which is suitable for taking photos, with fewer people and fewer shops. However, the scenery on both sides is different, and if you have the energy, you can walk the whole journey. Those uncles and aunts with good legs and feet and enthusiasm should handle it easily. 6. There are many snacks, but relatively few places to buy water. Non-sweet water is relatively scarce, it is recommended to increase the supply.

Half-day tour around Beijing—Tangshan Banquet + Hetou Old Street 🤩 Comfortable version || How does Hebei hide so many treasure spots? Baoding was a pleasant surprise before, and this time Tangshan is also very comfortable and pleasant. No need to get up early, half a day in the afternoon + evening is enough! (Attractions: Tangshan Banquet + Hetou Old Street, food + photos all in one day) 🚄Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself, parking spaces are super abundant. It's perfect to leave Beijing around 12 noon after having a little something in the morning. It takes 2 hours to drive to Tangshan Banquet. 🍽️Food: Just go in and eat at Tangshan Banquet!! Although it is a scenic spot, it feels like the official price control is very reasonable, even cheaper than Beijing! Recommended 🤩 1️⃣ Sole Meat Pie, I think it's called this (picture 4), just eat it! Absolutely worth it, 15 yuan for a big piece, feels like two girls can be full 🙂‍↔️! Lots of meat, very flavorful crust! 2️⃣ Fruit slices!! I highly recommend it! Which scenic spot sells for 9.9 yuan/half a jin? It's 35 yuan/jin under the building in Beijing! And there are mangoes, ginseng fruits, papayas, etc.! Watermelons, Hami melons, and cantaloupes are also very sweet! Trust me, you must buy it! 3️⃣ Handmade yogurt! 9.9 yuan each, this little thing is quite filling, it's very thick and a bit solid, not like the slurpy old Beijing yogurt, the milk flavor is very fragrant. If you have a portable mini fridge in the car, I really suggest stocking up! 🪭Hetou Old Street: It takes 25 minutes to drive from Tangshan Banquet, and there are plenty of parking spaces. Don't just look at the ones near the entrance, make sure to choose the ones near the exit, otherwise, after the iron flower show ends, you'll be stuck in a long queue at the exit. It's best to arrive around 5 o'clock, earlier is really boring, the place is not big, an hour is more than enough to walk around. There are many places to do ancient-style Hanfu makeup, personally, I don't think it's necessary. If you want to do Hanfu or Tang costumes, you should go to places like Luoyang or Xi'an!! The cost performance here is average. 🎆The iron flower show is at the end of the right-hand side after entering, opposite the Ferris wheel. It starts at 8:05 pm, no need to go early to grab a spot, there are no seats, everyone stands so there's no rush, you can see it from anywhere. 📷Photography: 1️⃣The flower boat on Hetou Old Street is on the opposite side of the bridge, you can go in for afternoon tea and book the boat, but it's better to take pictures from the outside! 2️⃣Tangshan Banquet has a rose exhibition, free to take photos for three minutes, not many people in line, think of your poses and just go in and shoot. After the iron flower show, taking night scene photos is super beautiful, then drive back to Beijing for two hours, no traffic, very comfortable~

Tangshan 24 hours Day 1: It was already evening when I arrived, and I went out for a walk expecting a night market vibe, but I was truly shocked! Hetou Old Street is really a hidden gem! The most impressive thing is the humanized service here, with thoughtful service stations providing hot water, mung bean soup, and lemon water. A cup of hot water is really a savior for the large temperature difference in Tangshan at night! There are also continuous sprays of mist in the streets and alleys, which really cool down the temperature and create a smoky atmosphere. The 68 yuan ticket is really worth it, with performances scattered everywhere: shadow puppets, dance, musical instruments, singing. The NPCs are also very professional and dedicated. The performance schedule is posted at the end. Artificial rivers connect the entire scenic area, and countless lanterns are a stunning sight at night. You can take a boat ride from the dock, and if you catch a performance on the boat, you get a prime view. Day 2: In the morning, I went to the famous Tangshan Banquet, and there were really a lot of people!! Looking outside, there were tourist buses everywhere, which made me realize the power of senior tour groups. Tangshan's food is so delicious, and the most memorable for me was the Qizi baked bun: with meat and mung bean fillings. The meat filling tasted a bit like fresh meat mooncakes, very fragrant and tender with juice inside, and I easily finished a box.

The lighting is very good, and there are many performances, many snacks, and many shops where you can rent Hanfu for photos. Although there are more people during the Dragon Boat Festival, the place is spacious. Admission is free from Monday to Thursday, 68 yuan on weekends, and 78 yuan during festivals. The boat ride is 68 yuan on weekdays and 98 yuan during festivals. Overall, the ticket price is a bit expensive, so if possible, visit on weekdays.

As the lanterns light up, I dream back to the Tang Dynasty Hebei is really suitable for self-driving tours from Beijing, and this stop takes Arno to check in at Tangshan. Hetou Old Street is a place I really wanted to visit, where you can feel the lively atmosphere while tasting various delicious snacks. There are also various beautiful performances and interesting activities. It's really suitable for children over 2 years old to stroll, eat, and watch. We really felt the dedication and effort of Tangshan's cultural tourism~ Tips Opening hours: Monday 16:00-22:30; Tuesday to Sunday 15:00-22:30, stop checking tickets at 22:00 Tickets and boat tickets: Free admission from Monday to Thursday, 68 yuan per person on Fridays to Sundays and public holidays, can be reserved on the WX public account, enter with the reservation QR code; boat tickets are 38 yuan per person for a half journey (10 minutes), 68 yuan per person for a full journey (20 minutes), take the boat at the Shengshi Wharf at the south gate, it is recommended to take the boat after the lights are on, the scenery is more beautiful Journey and parking: It takes 1 hour and 40 minutes to drive from Beijing Tongzhou, the parking lot is large, and the fee is capped at 10 yuan Photo check-in: Every place is a beautiful scene, really just take photos at will, there are many Hanfu studios inside, it's definitely more beautiful and atmospheric to take photos with a style Accommodation and food: Snacks are concentrated at the South Gate Water Market, which gathers delicious food from all over the country, a good place for foodies. The hotel chose the Tangshan Yanwen Travel Hotel, mainly because the bustling Tangshan Yan downstairs allows easy access, but actually, the snacks at both places are basically the same, and later I found out that both are owned by the same boss~ Personally, I feel that going to Tangshan Yan is not as good as going directly to Hetou Old Street, the venue is bigger and the atmosphere is better

Hebei Tangshan Fengnan's Hetou Old Street is the first choice for a night stroll, a popular spot for internet celebrities to check in. That day, I arrived here during the daytime, and although it lacked the brilliant lights and the tide of people, being able to walk away from the noise, strolling leisurely, I felt a different kind of sentiment in my heart, experiencing a different kind of scenery.

Just arrived in Tangshan, after touring the museum, I entered Hedong Old Street. Standing on the old street after five o'clock, I couldn't yet imagine what brilliance could light up the night. It wasn't until around seven o'clock that the lights lit up like a river of stars, and another grand Tang Dynasty scene made its charming entrance. I wonder if I should thank the evening rain, which dissuaded many people, leaving just the right number of people on the old street. The drizzle actually added another kind of charm to Hedong Old Street. Sitting in a red water corridor, I sometimes felt a bit dazed, while at the same time, my feet refused to move. 📖 Hedong Old Street 📍 No. 66, West Canal Road, Fengnan District, Tangshan 💰 Free from Monday to Thursday, 98 yuan per person from Friday to Sunday Boat trip: 58 yuan per person for half the journey, 98 yuan per person for the full journey ⏰ 15:00-22:30 🅿️ There are parking lots at both entrances, very convenient

After arriving in Tangshan, you must visit the bustling Hetou Old Street to experience the dazzling night scene! 🕙Business hours: 15:00-23:00 🧳Preparations before you go: Tickets must be booked in advance, and reservations for the same day's tickets are made before one o'clock at noon 🌟Highlights: Water market, koi pond, prosperous dock, water dance show, Tang Emperor's eastern campaign, arch bridge 👍Most recommended: The parade flower boat performance is very good, don't miss it, and there are also pipa and guzheng performances on both sides of the street. There is also a night cruise to see the brilliant lights on both banks

Not clickbait🤔 On a tired Friday, on a whim, I went to Fengnan Hetou Old Street to accompany my family, and I was somewhat disappointed before even entering, feeling that a certain policy was unfriendly (no offense to individuals), if the officials see this note👀 you can contact me, and I will analyze which policy is unfriendly for you🥺 ᵕ̈ 🌷ᵕ̈ 🌷ᵕ̈ 🌷ᵕ̈ 🌷ᵕ̈ 🌷ᵕ̈ 🌷 Although I was quite upset before entering, after entering, the beauty of Hetou Old Street truly saved my not-so-beautiful mood. To be fair, after all, I am a professional reviewer❤️, and I shouldn't write with emotions🖊️. The beauty of Hetou Old Street is not only during the day but also at night. If daytime is suitable for taking photos📸 and checking in, then night is the time to experience its lively atmosphere. Listen to a piece of Leting big drum, 👀watch a shadow play, taste some Mingyuanzhai yogurt. It is located in Fengnan District of Tangshan City, about a 20-minute drive from the city center, and it is very convenient whether you drive🚗 or take the bus🚍. Driving: There are five parking lots around it, and there are about 50 charging piles nearby (not all in these five). Bus: Routes 3, 90, 91 Tickets🎫: There are tickets for regular operation and holiday tickets. Generally, it's free from Monday to Thursday, and tickets are required from Friday to Sunday and on holidays🎫. ⚠️The interactive performances at Hetou Old Street are a must-see👀, if you only come once you might not see everything, because there are too many activities, and the official website usually announces the performance schedule, subject to the actual time. ⚠️The free ginger soup at Hetou Old Street is a must-try, you can feel the warmth of Hetou Old Street. ⚠️It's recommended to wear comfortable shoes, as it takes quite some time to go around the scenic area and experience various check-ins, with a suggested stay of over 5 hours. ⚠️📸It is very suitable for Chinese style, so there are many Hanfu girls checking in. ⚠️If you really want to take a souvenir, I think the Qingzhi hand cream is quite good, because it🈶 has covers with various birthday flowers, and the scents are also very refreshing. It's a thoughtful gift. However, personally, I find it a bit pricey, and I didn't buy it🥺 after all, it's my fault for not earning enough money, my bad💔 ⚠️The original photos are out, I've been too lazy to edit them recently, you guys can post the well-edited photos in the comments section, looking forward to your masterpieces. ✨⭐🌟✨💫✨🌟⭐🌙 Finally, I wish you a pleasant time in Tangshan!
