In the long river of history, the ancient city of Xingcheng is like a shining pearl, quietly telling the story of the years. With a yearning for the ancient city, I set foot on this ancient land.
Stepping into the ancient city, it seems to have traveled through time and space and returned to the prosperous years hundreds of years ago. The streets paved with bluestone slabs are simple and heavy, and every stone seems to carry the memory of history. On both sides of the street, the buildings in the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties are scattered, with flying eaves, arches, carved beams and painted buildings, and antique fragrance, which makes people dazzled. Walking among them, it seems that you can hear the footsteps of the ancients and feel the temperature of history.
Walk into the bell and drum tower and climb to a high place, and you can see the whole picture of the ancient city. The four streets are staggered in a cross shape, dividing the ancient city into four areas, with a rigorous layout and ingenious planning. In the distance, the city wall is winding and the tower is majestic, telling the vicissitudes and tenacity of the ancient city. Standing upstairs, the breeze blows on your face, and the heavy sense of history is intertwined with the tranquility of modern times, which makes people feel emotional.
Walking along the city wall, touching the ancient bricks and stones, you can feel the traces of time. Outside the city wall, the moat is surrounded by sparkling water, which sets off the ancient city. In the ancient city, people leisurely shuttle between various shops, taste special snacks, and buy exquisite souvenirs. It is lively and peaceful.
Xingcheng Ancient City is not only a historical museum, but also a living cultural symbol. Here, I feel the precipitation of history and the inheritance of culture, and also experience the tenderness and beauty of time.
Xingcheng Ancient City was a defensive town outside Shanhaiguan in the late Ming Dynasty. It is one of the four best-preserved ancient cities of the Ming Dynasty in my country. It is located in the center of the old city of Xingcheng, Huludao City, Liaoning Province. Xingcheng Ancient City is a square acropolis with four gates in the southeast, northwest and northeast.
There is a bell and drum tower in the center of the city, a semicircular urn city is built outside the city gate, and there are still artillery platforms at the four corners of the city wall for setting up red cannons.

It is a unique point of the World Cultural Heritage Great Wall that is worth seeing. It belongs to Huludao City, but it is close to Shanhaiguan, only about 10 kilometers away. In addition to driving by yourself, you can take a taxi from Shanhaiguan. However, when returning, you can't get a car on the platform, so you can only wait for a carpool, which costs much more than when you came.
The Great Wall - Jiumenkou, located at the junction of Xintaizi Village, Lijiabao Township, Suizhong County, Huludao City, Liaoning Province and Jiumenkou Village, Zhucaoying Town, Haigang District, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, was first built in the Northern Qi Dynasty and expanded in the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381). It belongs to the eastern section of the Jizhen Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty. It is an important pass connecting Shanhaiguan and Zuizishan sections of the Great Wall. The geographical situation is dangerous and it is known as the "First Pass in Jingdong". The Great Wall - Jiumenkou starts from the northern cliff of Laoniu Mountain in the south and ends at the No. 20 enemy tower in the north, with a total length of 1,980 meters, running from north to south. Its layout includes the Great Wall, the river-crossing bridge, a stone pass city, beacon towers on both sides of the wall, horse-blocking ditches (moats), horse-blocking walls, sentry towers, camps, etc. There are nine enemy towers from No. 12 to No. 20 in the north of Laoniu Mountain, a wall platform, two side platforms at both ends of the bridge, eight shuttle-shaped piers on the bridge body, and two siege cities on both sides of the bridge. These building structures form a complete military defense system that can attack and retreat, and has a depth of several miles. A large number of cultural relics such as iron cannons, stone cannons, stone mines, blue-and-white porcelain bowls, large jars, and stone tablets were unearthed.
On November 20, 1996, the Great Wall-Jiumenkou was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the fourth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In September 2002, the Great Wall including Jiumenkou was listed as a "World Cultural Heritage Site" by the United Nations World Heritage Committee.

The scenic area is not small, and the facilities are relatively complete. The ticket price is 208 if it is all-inclusive, including two cruises, slides, glass plank roads, small trains, and sightseeing buses, which saves a lot of energy. The canyon has mountains and water, including two canyons, and a small waterfall at the end. It feels that there should be more water and better scenery during the flood season or after the rain. It takes about four hours to play. The entrance and exit of the scenic area are quite practical. You can walk along the tree-lined mountain road directly after entering the door. After playing, take a sightseeing bus and go directly back to the door. The gate is not set far away, which is great.
The distance is a bit far, even if you drive within the province, it will take 300 to 400 kilometers; in terms of price, the full pass costs more than 200 yuan per person, which mainly depends on personal physical strength and the additional consumption items. It is recommended to choose all of them.

The sea breeze of Dongdaihe gently caresses the beach, and the tiny waves sparkle in the sun. The fishing boats in the distance dot the horizon, like an elegant ink painting. Between the ebb and flow of the tide, shells are looming in the sand, telling the story of the sea. Tourists walk in groups of three or two on the wet beach, leaving a series of footprints of varying depths. At dusk, the setting sun dyes the sea water golden, and the whole world is immersed in the gentle afterglow. There is no hustle and bustle here, only the eternal whispers of the waves and the healed hearts.
Dongdaihe is located in Suizhong County, Huludao City, Liaoning Province. It is a seaside resort on the shore of Bohai Bay. It has long golden beaches and clear waters, and the climate is cool and pleasant in summer. Visitors can enjoy sunbathing, sea bathing, and taste fresh seafood. Dongdaihe also retains the remains of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall, where history and modernity blend together. Every summer, it becomes a popular choice for tourists from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to escape the summer heat.
