Depart from Harbin on September 10. Return to Harbin by 17. Ask for a travel guide

20 10 From July 25th to July 30th, my dear wife and I went to Beidaihe for a pleasant self-help tour. Now I'll write down our travel itinerary and experience, and give some reference to later generations. If I can help my friends who travel to Beidaihe in the future and achieve the purpose of writing this article, I will feel very gratified.

Let's talk about transportation. Traveling by train is everyone's first choice. Because it is safe and fast to take the train (I think Beidaihe is not far from Harbin, 960 kilometers), we also choose to take the train. There are two choices to travel to Beidaihe. One is from Harbin to Beidaihe Station and the other is from Harbin to Qinhuangdao Station. There are only four trains from Harbin to Beidaihe and the time is not good. However, there are many trains from Harbin to Qinhuangdao, and the distance is similar. It is recommended to get off at Qinhuangdao. July and August are the tourist season in Beidaihe. There is a saying in Beidaihe that "ten months rest and two months slaughter". So be sure to book tickets in advance, and it is best to buy round-trip tickets in advance, otherwise you will be forced to buy expensive tickets if you can't go home on time. Train tickets are usually sold ten days in advance. On July 20th, I bought a ticket from Qinhuangdao to Harbin on the 30th, and there was no sleeper. So I had to buy the hard seat of 145 1, and I still regret it now. I suggest that if the economy is not very tight, you must buy a sleeper or a bullet train, because there are too many people on the express train, there is no place to stand, and the personnel are very complicated, so it is easy to lose things. It's difficult for people who can't rest all night. Being late is a common occurrence. The bus we came back was more than an hour late, which was a waste of time and sad! When we went there, we took the D28 highway. The environment in the car is very clean, and the seats are all facing forward. I was worried about reversing at first. ) The air conditioner in the car is full, about 25 degrees. That is a real "frozen" car. I suggest you wear long trousers, or you will be too much. The things in the car are very expensive. A box lunch with a few pieces of beef, an egg with rice 35 yuan, many people buy it. It seems that there are many rich people. I still think it's more economical to bring my own food. Just bring a bowl of instant noodles (there is free boiled water in the car) and cooked bread. I got on the train at 8: 55 in the morning and arrived in Qinhuangdao at 3: 09 in the afternoon. The advantage of the bullet train is that it won't be late, because everyone else makes way for it. Qinhuangdao is a mature tourist city with convenient indoor public transportation, and the ticket price is basically 2 yuan. It is convenient to visit various scenic spots and then give you a detailed introduction.

Travel accommodation is a big problem, unlike going out to eat and live with a group, you have to find your own accommodation for self-help travel. I recommend you to stay in a family hotel in Liu Zhuang, get off at Qinhuangdao Station, take bus No.34, and there is a stop in Liu Zhuang. First, it's cheap. The price of the hotel in peak season is about 280 a day and 400 on weekends. -500 by the way, the weekend in Beidaihe means Friday and Saturday, which is different from our usual idea. Because Beijing and Tianjin are close to Beidaihe, many people come to Beidaihe for the weekend. People there are richer, so there is nothing they can do. The price of family hotels in Liu Zhuang is more cost-effective, but everyone has to book online in advance, and it is also convenient to contact online with QQ, so we choose to avoid weekends and stay for five days from Sunday to Thursday. Every day 100 yuan, which proves that a lot of money is saved. The second advantage is that it is close to the sea. The advertisement says five minutes from the sea. Don't believe it. After walking for 25 minutes, it is still much closer to the sea than the city. The room we live in is clean and not too humid. There is a TV, air conditioning, a 24-hour hot bath and an electric kettle to boil water, which is very convenient. Every coin has its two sides. The disadvantage of staying in a family hotel is that most hotels use solar energy to boil water. When there are more people bathing on cloudy days, the water will not be hot. I warn you that it is best to take a bath before seven o'clock in the evening, otherwise you will be at your own risk. Second, things nearby are more expensive. 500ML iced tea in 3.5 yuan, other things are more expensive than downtown. Let me give you a suggestion. Don't buy daily necessities near the hotel. Take bus No.34 and get off at the city government. There is a Tesco supermarket opposite. For dinner, if it's a home-cooked dish, go to Sanjie Hotel. A dish, two bowls of rice, two people more than ten dollars is enough. If you want to eat seafood, don't go to the roadside food stalls, and don't go to the seaside to buy seafood that is stale and stale. I recommend you to buy it at Shitang Road Seafood Market. Get off at No.34 seaside bus station, go straight and turn left for 200 meters. The market is very large, divided into four floors, with the largest handicraft market. You can buy some pearls, shells and other products you like, but to be honest, we don't know how to buy them. There is a dried seafood area on the first floor, where all kinds of dried seafood, fish fillets, sea cucumbers and shellfish are varied. Let me give you a hint. Some stalls are hung with small red flags, which are civilized and trustworthy stalls. I suggest you buy it there. Now there is a live seafood market, including crabs, Neopenaeus monodon, Pippi shrimp, shellfish and marine fish. We met a big brother who runs a hotel. He told us what kind of seafood is fresh and what the price should be. Some sellers send water into bags in advance, called "water bags" and so on, which makes us feel the enthusiasm and kindness of Qinhuangdao people. Let's count abalone 13 a catty, crab 37 a catty, prawn 38 a catty, Pipi shrimp 30 a catty and Meretrix meretrix 13 a catty for reference only. There are fair scales in the market, so you can buy them with confidence. After selling seafood, you can go to a nearby restaurant to help you process it. Generally, you charge a little processing fee, but it is more worry-free. You can see the whole process to prevent you from changing the bag. You can also buy back your hotel. Generally, I can give you free treatment, which is very convenient.

After eating, living and traveling, the highlight of the trip is playing. Let me tell you in detail that the biggest selling point of Beidaihe tourism is the seaside. It is the charm of the sea that makes Beidaihe so famous. The better seaside in Beidaihe is Tiger Stone Park, and the fare is 8 yuan, but the scenery is really different. It doesn't matter if you don't want to spend money. Rent a double ride (we were asked to spend an hour in 30 yuan, and we agreed 15 an hour). As the sun sets, my dear and I are pedaling slowly, enjoying the picturesque scenery by the sea, and there is a feeling that we only admire Yuanyang but not immortals. Love the romance by the sea. There is also the boulder symbolizing Beidaihe, which is here and is a place not to be missed.

The main tourist attractions in Beidaihe are three areas, namely Beidaihe Tourist Area, Nandaihe Tourist Area and Qinhuangdao Tourist Area. Living in Liu Zhuang to Beidaihe tourist area is the most convenient and recent. The well-known scenic spot is pigeon nest park, which is an excellent place to watch the sunrise in Beidaihe. At that time, Chairman Mao watched the sunrise at the Eagle Corner Pavilion in the pigeon nest and wrote the famous work "Langtaosha Beidaihe". Now there are statues and poems of Chairman Mao in the park, which must be seen. But it is impossible to see the sunrise, because Beidaihe is near the sea, and there are not many sunny days, so you may not be able to see the spectacular scene of the sun going out to sea. According to the owner, it would be nice to have a sunny day in ten days. We didn't catch the sunrise this week. But you don't have to be upset and watch the sunrise. In the morning, you can go to the wetland in front of pigeon nest park to catch crabs and small fish and relive your childhood. There is no through train from Liu Zhuang to pigeon nest, so you can get there by taxi 10 in the morning (the starting price of a taxi in Qinhuangdao is 6 yuan cheaper than that in Harbin, but you have to bargain on the bus because it is far away, so you don't need to look).

Olympic Avenue Park is a free Olympic theme park near Liu Zhuang. I suggest you walk there at night, because you can take pictures before dark, and there will be a music fountain performance at 8 o'clock after dark (every day). The Olympic Avenue Park is well-planned, featuring the Olympic embossed wall over 65,438+000 meters. It shows the host cities and typical figures from the ancient Greek Olympic Games to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and the gold medal list of China from 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. What is exciting is that the money on the relief wall includes busts of five Olympic Committee presidents, such as Coubertin and more than 60 statues of various Olympic events. Gymnastics, shooting, taekwondo and swimming are vivid and unforgettable. I think the essence of the park is the path of the Olympic champion. The bronze footprints of more than 30 Olympic champions who won glory for their motherland are displayed on both sides of the road. Xu Haifeng, the first gold medalist, made a great breakthrough in the Winter Olympics. Deng Yaping and Wang Nan made visitors linger. The huge Olympic rings in the distance light up in different colors at night, which is very beautiful. It is getting dark, but there are more and more people in the park. Everyone is in high spirits. Some people jump rope, some people play roller skating (roller skating in Beidaihe is famous all over the country, and there is a roller skating festival), some people jump on bamboo poles, and the elderly also dance swords. People watching Tai Ji Chuan's performance were dazzled. There is a meteor shower in the tree outside the park. The colorful lights on the tree are very beautiful. At 8 o'clock, with the announcement of the staff, dozens of water columns spewed out, changing different patterns, and everyone was boiling. The climax is the screening of Olympic-related water curtain movies on the water curtain, which is vivid and beautiful on the water.

Take bus No.34 and stop at No.4 to Qinhuangdao Wildlife Park. At the beginning, the elephant museum and various primates, such as golden monkey, baboon, squirrel monkey, black and white monkey, etc., asked for fruit, which made people laugh. The innocence of elephants makes tourists laugh, and taking photos with tigers and ponies also attracts many tourists. Walking in is the essence of the zoo. This feature is that people sit in the train with iron bars, and there are free-range animals watching you outside the cage. We felt a little nervous when we passed the iron gate with power grid along the way. We saw the Siberian tiger, Asian lion, white tiger, wolf, black bear and other beasts, and the black bear was still chasing the car for food. It seems that there are not many wild animals. We relaxed a little after crossing the wild animal area. We got off at the beautiful African animal area. Shy zebras, tall giraffes and beautiful African lambs seem to be in a foreign country, and a large group of African black friends perform dances. They play poker when they are free, which is really interesting. We got on the next train to continue our journey. When we arrived at the central tourist area, we got off to watch the monkey park and the animal show. There are many seats there, so you can see them when you sit there. In the words of a buddy, "taming elephants is not taming ants, but you can't see them." The performance was wonderful, such as the tiger jumping into the ring of fire and the elephant dancing. After boarding the train, we arrived at the terminal of the grassland residential area. We got off the train and had close contact with sika deer, lambs, wild horses and other animals. It's so novel. There will be rare bird gardens, peacocks, guinea fowl, golden pheasants and so on in the future. It's so cute to run around. We arrived at the door and took photos with the deer statue at the door. I hope we can come again in the future.

One stop away from Liu Zhuang is the seaside bus station, which is also the terminal of bus No.34. I'll tell you a little trick: it's far from Liu Zhuang to the scenic spots in the city, and many people are tired without seats. You can spend an extra dollar to get to the destination by bus, which makes it easier to get a seat. Opposite the seaside bus station is a waterfall, which is tens of meters wide. It is even more spectacular at night, and the rushing water is particularly beautiful against the colorful lights. After arriving at our destination by bus, we went to many scenic spots. Finally, we took the No.5 bus across the beautiful seashore and arrived at Ji Fa Agricultural Ecological Park. On the bus, we met an employee of the ecological park. He told us the route in detail, which made us feel the hospitality of Qinhuangdao people again. We took a one-yuan picking voucher from the south gate (picking a cucumber is too hard). The courtyard is shaded by trees and picturesque. We came to the picking garden along the left avenue. The yard is very big, with bananas, colored persimmons and cucumbers. Plant a lot of mimosa on both sides of the corridor. When you touch the leaves with your hand, they will automatically close and then unfold. It's amazing! Further on is the game area, where there are seesaws, waterwheels and water swings. The most interesting thing is to imitate the brave people of Hunan Satellite TV, as well as the turntable and ropeway. Floating objects in the water are quite novel, but it takes 60 seconds to play for 20 yuan once, and only plastic cups are given after flushing, which is purely entertainment. We watched several people fail over time. A big boy fell into the water and his cell phone got wet. We suggest that you do what you can. At noon 1 1, the farmhouse began to eat. They are all pure green farm dishes, and the decoration of the restaurant is very particular. Decorated according to the people's commune, it seems to go back to the past, but the food is not cheap. There are 38 stewed chicken and mushrooms and 40 bowls of braised pork, but you may wish to have a try when you come. After dinner, I went to see the plant display area of the ecological park. The most famous is the big pumpkin display. These big pumpkins weigh more than 300 kilograms. It is painted with animals such as the god of wealth, Guanyin, the birthday girl and the tiger. The price is between 65,438+0,000 and 30,000. The staff said it could be kept for two years, and most people couldn't afford it, so they had to take a group photo as a souvenir. There are also the world's longest loofah and soilless watermelon in the exhibition area, which is amazing.

Qinhuangdao scenic spot includes three parts: the first pass in the world, Ledao and Yansai Lake. I think the first pass in the world is meaningless, but it is very famous. You should go to Qinhuangdao. The destination of Liu Zhuang 34 to Mishima Bridge is Shanhaiguan. In order to make money, the managers closed all the towers. You can't get to the bottom of the tower without spending 50 yuan. Friends with good financial ability can go up, but I think it's just a plaque of "the first pass in the world" Let's take a picture with the tower in the distance. There are only two and a half miles of the Great Wall on the water near the old faucet, and only some statues in the Meng Jiangnu Temple. Friends who want to see the temple can go and see it. We chose to visit Lake Yansai, and we contacted a taxi driver. He promised to buy a ticket and send us there for free (90 yuan for one person, the hotel can book 68 people, but we have to take a taxi ourselves. It's a long way. Although the fare of 6 yuan is much cheaper than that of Harbin, it takes 100 to get there. When I arrived at Lake Yansai, the first thing I saw was a big stone engraved with three characters of Lake Yansai, overlooking the lake. At the foot of the mountain is an amusement park. Although only four events are completely free, one ticket for each event can only be played once. Pirate boats, bumper cars, carousels and swings are flying in the sky. We had a good time. Walking 500 meters inside, birds, peacocks, pheasants, pigeons and ostriches are in close contact with tourists, pecking at the food left by tourists, and the sound of the waterfall is accompanied by tourists' play-very lively. Get off the boat and get on the cable car to the foot of the mountain. The squirrel garden flashed before our eyes. After watching it, we left Yansai Lake. Some friends are worried about how to get back without a car. Don't worry. There are no.3 buses going to Shanhaiguan at the foot of the mountain. 2 yuan is cheap, but it comes every hour. If you are impatient, there will be a car pool with steamed stuffed bun 10 yuan alone.

Personally, I think Yuedao is the most interesting of the three scenic spots. Liu Zhuang takes bus No.34 to Bridge No.4, and then takes bus No.25 and gets off at Ledao. Tickets for 90 yuan (Hotel 80) are very cost-effective. There are polar museum, shark museum, seal museum and other animal venues, as well as dolphin and sea lion performances, which are very novel and will never be regretted. So here, you don't have to go to the underwater world. The beach here is beautiful. If you are interested, you can take a speedboat to see the old dragon head, as well as motorboat performances, archery and other entertainment programs. But the most fun is the water park, and the swimsuit must be changed. There are special dressing rooms and articles, each 10 yuan. If there is nothing valuable, I suggest you change it in the bathroom. A lot of people do. There are all kinds of water slides in the park. The bold can go to the tall, and the timid can go to the children's slide, which is very humanized. We chose neither high nor low and slipped a few times. Very interesting. There are fountains, water swings, swimming pools and so on. So I think it's worth 90 yuan to see animals and play with water.

Nandaihe tourist area includes Xianluo Island and Nanyue Mountain. Xianluo Island was built artificially, which changed the history that Qinhuangdao did not have an island surrounded by the sea. It is a tourist attraction connected with the mainland by a 1000-meter sea cableway. However, if the wind is above level 6, people can't pay attention to the weather forecast before going. There is a fairy tower on the island, which can bungee jump and glide in the air. Because of our cowardice, we didn't choose to go to Xianluo Island, but went to Nanyue. Nanyue is the abbreviation of Nandaihe Entertainment Center. Tickets 120 yuan. Everybody get off at the seaside bus stop and wait. Many people will talk to you. For example, 20 yuan will bring it to you, and so on. Everyone must not let go and insist on asking for money. We just insisted that the driver didn't ask for money to drag us to the end, but the couple who shared the car with us asked for it 15 yuan. Alas, they are too young! When we arrived in Nanyue, the driver bought us tickets and we entered the gate. It's really crowded here. There are long queues in front of every amusement facility. Played for 3 points, Zhong Zhen's was 1 hour. This is the shortcoming of the tourist season, but since it is here, we must make it safe. We joined the queue patiently so that the two of us could take turns to have a rest. Our first row is a big Ferris wheel. As the wheel turns, we rise higher and higher, and the whole park can be seen. The sea and beach in the distance are in sharp contrast with the people nearby. It's beautiful. The second project is to experience the weightlessness of the rolling car, which is crazy and exciting. I hope friends with bad hearts don't illuminate it. We got off the rolling train and took the small forest train (for free, we can take as many times as we want, haha! ) To the seaside, the beach here is the best, and it is known as "the first bath in the world". Blue sea water, thin sand beach, gentle sea breeze and waves are refreshing. We change our clothes, can't wait to throw ourselves into the embrace of the sea, relax our body and spirit in the sea, and have a feeling of completely forgetting me. After swimming, we took a cableway to the high platform for sand and grass skiing. Both of these projects are in the south. The skateboard is placed on the braking device of the high platform, and people lie flat in it. Looking down is really scary, but I can't help it. As soon as the staff pressed the button, the skateboard quickly slipped to the bottom of the slope, which was so enjoyable. We visited the lotus exhibition and theater, and finally went to see a bird show. There is an interesting program in which a parrot takes money. You have two dollars in your hand, and the parrot flies in and takes a big bill. But the money can't be refunded. It is said that it is to buy bird food for birds. I think it's for the trainer. It was already sunset when we came out from the south for entertainment. We took a special tourist line (6 yuan each), and the words of a big brother made us laugh. "When the car motor started, I seemed to fly." It was a pleasant trip.

Well, it's too long, so it's over. In a word, Beidaihe is worthy of the reputation as the summer capital of China. What are friends waiting for? Let's go. You must be glad you came!
