highly recommend this Great Wall excursion. The trip was smooth and relaxing from start to finish.Our tour guide was fantastic—very energetic and gave clear instructions. She provided great historical context and knew all the best spots for the best experience, making the tour both comfortable and efficient. I also appreciated that there was no pressure to buy any add-on services.A nice bonus was the drop-off at the Olympic Park, which gave us some extra time to explore.
It was too difficult to climb; we only climbed a little bit and stayed for about an hour. The most fun part was the toboggan run, and the scenery was indeed beautiful and spectacular. We went by chartered car, and the experience was pretty good.

Chengde isn't very big; a day trip by high-speed train is possible. The Mountain Resort is a must-see. The scenic area is vast, and I personally felt the entrance fee was a bit expensive, but the scenery is beautiful. However, it's really not suitable for escaping the summer heat.
This is a combined ticket. The price is relatively affordable. The Chengde Mountain Resort is a must-see when visiting, offering a wonderful experience of its garden scenery and historical significance. Puning Temple is very peaceful in the morning, making for a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

A Majestic Pass: Echoes of History Between Mountains and Sea
Standing beneath Shanhaiguan Pass, gazing up at the towering plaque proclaiming "The First Pass Under Heaven," the five characters, powerful and vigorous, seem to embody boundless strength. This pass, over six centuries old, awes the hearts of every visitor with its grandeur.
Beneath the Yanshan Mountains to the north and connecting to the Bohai Sea to the south, Shanhaiguan derives its name from its unique geographical location. In the fourteenth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, a founding hero, established a garrison here, leaving behind this crucial military stronghold along the Great Wall. Touching the mottled walls, one feels not only the cool bricks but also the warmth of time. These weathered marks seem to whisper tales of past battles, evoking images of thunderous drums and clashing swords on ancient battlefields.
Ascending the watchtower, one can gaze far and wide. To the north, the Yanshan Mountains rise in layers, the Great Wall winding like a giant dragon across them; to the south, the Bohai Sea surges, the sea and sky merging into one. This fortified pass, once a vital strategic point controlling China's lifeline, has influenced the nation's destiny countless times over the millennia. It was here that Wu Sangui, the Ming Dynasty general defending the pass, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, leading to its establishment; it was also here that in 1933, Chinese troops used the pass as a shield, firing the first shot of the Great Wall resistance against Japanese aggression.
Heading south to Laolongtou, the Great Wall appears like a giant dragon entering the sea, its head poised to tumble in the waves. This sea-facing stone fortress was built under the supervision of the renowned anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang, extending the Great Wall more than twenty meters into the sea. Standing atop Chenghai Tower, witnessing the romantic encounter between the Great Wall and the sea, one is deeply moved by the awe-inspiring grandeur and boundless spirit.
Shanhaiguan is a testament to history, covered in its traces. It is not merely a pass, but a link connecting the past and the future. Touching every brick and tile of this guardian city, feeling the ancient warmth hidden in the cool stone crevices, one is instantly moved by the historical stories and legends of Shanhaiguan.
As I left, the setting sun bathed Shanhaiguan in gold. This majestic pass, a witness to countless dynasties, still stands, silently guarding this land and its people. It has transformed from a frontier fortress into a beautiful scenic spot, but the resilience and wisdom of the Chinese nation it embodies continue to inspire us to remember history and cherish the present.
My trip to Shanhaiguan allowed me to appreciate not only the magnificence of nature but also the weight of history. This fortress is deeply etched in my heart, an indelible memory.
There were too many people at Shanhaiguan during the National Day holiday. If Li Zicheng had so many people, he would have been able to defend Shanhaiguan. The problem is that there are too many people, and the experience is much worse. Parking is very difficult, and it is also difficult to move after entering. But the scenery at the seaside is still good, and you can play in the sand and water. Overall, it is still okay.

It was a fantastic experience. We toured the interior of a real aircraft carrier, watched stunt car shows and water performances, and the final, spectacular long-running fireworks display was truly unforgettable.
The TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park has a commercial street inside. Keep going straight, and the aircraft carrier is on your right-hand side of the plaza.
Wow, boarding the ship...it's so stuffy!
The deck is actually quite nice; you can go up and play around and enjoy the breeze.

The Araya scenic area is excellent and highly recommended. Located in the Gold Coast Resort, it boasts a long coastline and beautiful beaches. Summer is the best time to visit. Since it's a closed-door area, safety is guaranteed.
Hidden beneath the coastal dunes, the Aranya Dune Art Museum is a work of land art in its own right. Its interior resembles a mysterious cave, with winding galleries connected by several light wells. Natural light pours in, blending with the sea breeze and the sound of waves to become part of the exhibition. Experiencing contemporary art here and experiencing the ingenious fusion of man-made and natural elements is a unique sensory experience.

Pigeon Nest Park is definitely worth a visit. The sunset is vibrant and colorful. The park has many photo spots, showing a lot of thought and effort. It's not crowded during the autumn/winter off-season, so dress warmly. My mom had a great time, which was wonderful.
Dove Nest, a place where beautiful birds gather, is a must-see for me every time I visit Beidaihe! Dove Nest in October offers pleasant weather, fresh air, and picturesque scenery, bringing to mind Chairman Mao's poem "Lang Tao Sha. Beidaihe": A thousand years have passed since the time of Wei Wu. A poem remains on the east side of Jieshi. The bleak autumn wind blows again, transforming the world...

About 30 minutes from Tangshan city centre, this wonderful ancientstyle water town has a lot to do. Night views are amazing. The boat cruise and the awesome live show are recommended. So many shops and different food stalls. You could easily spend a full day here but it's probably best to come once during the day and once at night. Can get VERY crowded on weekend nights. Overall, well with
A trip to Tangshan isn't complete without visiting Kaihetou Old Street and witnessing the Tang Emperor's expedition – it's truly awe-inspiring. The iron-spark performance is especially thrilling; it happens almost every few minutes, each session lasting several minutes – it's incredibly spectacular. The ticket price is well worth it.

As a frequent traveler, the only thing I recommend about Xianluo Island is the sea cable car. This suspended, non-enclosed gondola ride is incredibly thrilling, with the sea breeze caressing your face and the vast expanse of turquoise waters, making it well worth a try. However, Xianluo Island itself isn't worth exploring; it's a small area and the attractions are relatively old. The island's conch museum isn't particularly impressive, but there are plenty of parking lots nearby, making it relatively convenient.
The island is small, and the details are beautiful to be discovered. It's just crowded, so you can take a boat to get to the island faster. I didn't take any photos or videos when I got off the island. I could have found more places to take photos.

Bijia Mountain in Jinzhou is a national AAAA-level scenic area located in the Jinzhou Binhai New Area, adjacent to Jinzhou Port and facing the Bohai Sea. The scenic area consists of Bijia Mountain Island and the "Sky Bridge," covering a total area of 8 square kilometers. Bijia Mountain is a Taoist holy site, named for its three peaks resembling a pen rack. The "Sky Bridge" is a 1620-meter-long natural sand and stone dam that appears and disappears with the tides. The island features historical sites such as the Sanqing Pavilion and the Zhenren Temple, combining natural and cultural landscapes, making it a well-known tourist destination in Northeast China.
It was cloudy the day we visited; a clearer sky would have made the views even more expansive. The island boasts the only all-stone temple. The round-trip speedboat ride cost 15 yuan each way. Perhaps the driver was showing off, but the ride was quite intense, a rare experience nonetheless.

Due to the weather, the autumn scenery was somewhat less spectacular. However, the entertainment included a drone show and a free water dance show on the Great Wall. Guests could also experience a boat ride on the Great Wall at night. If time allowed, there were also various intangible cultural heritage handicraft experiences available. Overall, it was quite good.
The water town is beautiful, and visiting on a sunny afternoon was absolutely stunning. Aside from being a bit commercialized, I was quite full from the food, haha. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit!
