Things to do in Meihekou

During the National Day holiday, I brought my parents and children to the small town of Meihekou to visit the famous Zhibei Village. When I showed the old houses to the elderly, they were particularly moved. The old objects brought them back a lot of memories.

This is my hometown. There are all kinds of food and entertainment here. Welcome everyone to visit my hometown, Dameihe.

The publicity of the scenic spot is not small, the scenery is beautiful, the environment is good, the natural scenery is good, and the service attitude is also good. However, because of the need to change paper tickets, the small parking lot also requires temporary parking, which causes congestion, and the parking environment inside the scenic spot also needs to be improved. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hailong Lake Park is located in the southeast of Meihekou City, Jilin Province, with a total area of ​​1,636 acres, of which the lake area covers about 700 acres. It is the largest artificial lake in Meihekou City and is known as the "Little West Lake" in Northeast China. The entire scenic area adopts the sponge city design concept, forming a spatial pattern of "one lake, two corridors, three islands, four bridges, and seven districts". It is a happy gathering place integrating ecological sightseeing, leisure and entertainment, sports and fitness, food experience, and health vacation.

The package is very cost-effective, but you have to queue for each item during the holidays, and the experience is a little bit unpleasant.

Ticketing was convenient and quick, the attractions were excellent, and I gained a deep understanding of historical events, experiencing history immersively. By the way, Zhang Shaoshuai's house is really huge! The queue for the Grand Green Building was too long to go in, but I'll go again next time!

Beautiful scenery, quiet scenic area The northern scenic area has a large park at the foot of the mountain The southern scenic area has cliffs, strange peaks and rocks, and a natural reservoir The scenic area is free, the climbing time is about 2 hours, suitable for outdoor interaction in spring, summer and autumn The mountain road is a running road with unique scenery and pleasant air

Autumn deepens in Shengjing, a century of gentle tranquility awaits at the Shenyang Imperial Palace. My trip to Shengjing in November coincided perfectly with the pleasant season at the Shenyang Imperial Palace. With fewer tourists, there was no need to squeeze through crowds for photos, allowing for a leisurely and relaxed pace. Unlike the grandeur of the Forbidden City in Beijing, this palace outside the Great Wall possesses a unique, simple charm characteristic of the early Qing Dynasty, quiet and captivating in the soft autumn sunlight. Entering through the Great Qing Gate, the hustle and bustle of the city is instantly shut out behind the red walls. The entire tour route is full of surprises; most of the halls are open to the public, allowing visitors to examine the paintings, furnishings, and artifacts inside, rather than just gazing from afar through fences, enabling a more authentic experience of the past. The East Road is its most recognizable section, with the octagonal eaves of the Dazheng Hall, simple yet majestic, and opposite it, the Ten Princes' Pavilions, a vivid testament to the Eight Banners system. The autumn sun slanted across the glazed tiles and blue bricks, casting shifting shadows. Occasionally, a fallen yellow leaf drifted to the edge of the platform, the stillness seeming to whisper of bygone eras. At the heart of the central axis lies the Chongzheng Hall, where Emperor Huang Taiji held court; its painted decorations remain vibrant. The Phoenix Tower stands tall, once the highest point in Shengjing (Mukden), its steps leading to layers of palace courtyards. Architectural details blending Manchu, Han, and Mongolian styles are hidden among the pillars and windows; a closer look reveals hidden gems at every turn. My favorite area was the Wensu Pavilion on the western axis. The courtyard was serene, once a repository of books. Fewer tourists, quiet corridors—perfect for a moment's rest, gazing at the eaves and the blue sky. No noise, only the wind rustling through the courtyard, a gentle sense of history washing over you. The fewer crowds and the abundance of exhibitions were the biggest pluses of this trip. No need to rush; you could linger anywhere, carefully reading the explanations within the halls, slowly capturing the atmosphere of late autumn against the red walls. A leisurely half-day stroll under the red walls of Shengjing in November offers a comfortable and unhurried experience of exploring the past.

There were so many people and tourists that I didn't have time to take in many things. It's like a low-end version of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many of the artifacts on display were discarded from the Forbidden City. Some rooms were off-limits, so people crowded around the entrances to take photos. There was no lighting inside, so the photos didn't look great. The architecture is still quite distinctive.
