It's worth a visit, especially for those who like taking photos. You must dress up and immerse yourself in it. Parents and children are advised to go in the afternoon and play in the children's indoor area first. We went there in the evening and made an appointment for the Elsa show. We looked for it for a long time and asked many staff members but they didn't know where it was. The indoor area was closed after the last show. The Tang King's Expedition was more shocking for adults, but the children didn't like it very much and had to stand the whole time. The children liked the science experiments more.
What's a trip to Tangshan without visiting Hetou Old Street? Hetou Old Street opens at 2 PM, and you can buy your tickets online. The architecture is truly unique and photogenic, and there are also a variety of performances. Just wandering around, you'll find yourself at almost any performance, which is quite entertaining. There are also various NPCs, and participating in their activities earns you silver tickets, which you can redeem at the redemption counter for small rewards. This is also quite fun. At night, when the lights turn on, Hetou Old Street is even more photogenic. You can also rent a Hanfu dress in the scenic area, which the kids loved, and I have to give them a thumbs up. The staff and prices are fantastic, and they're friendly and helpful. Free popsicles and water are available, and Coke is only 2.80 yuan a bottle. This is a price I've never seen in a scenic area before, and it's a huge plus. Overall, I highly recommend this place! It's a must-do in Tangshan!

The Eastern Qing Tombs are the mausoleums of emperors, empresses, and concubines of the Qing Dynasty. I saw the sacrificial halls, sacred roads, merit tablets, stone statues, and underground palaces of Emperor Qianlong, Empress Cixi, and Concubine Xiang. I hired a guide who was very vivid and learned some little-known secrets of the imperial palace.
The Eastern Qing Tombs, located in Tangshan, is the largest, most complete and best-planned imperial mausoleum complex in existence. The design and construction of the mausoleum followed the ancient Chinese feng shui theory and embodied the idea of "harmony between man and nature".

I took my kids out for a couple of days this summer. The park has water villas in Areas A and B, as well as the Doma Hotel, all located on the park's ring road. The train stops there, making it very convenient to stay anywhere. The entire park resembles a large circular fish pond, with activities spaced out at intervals, mostly fish-related. There are activities like casting nets, catching fish with your hands, fishing, and using a fishing machine. The rafting seemed to be the only activity that required a queue, but it was too hot to try. It's perfect for hands-on kids. The 7:30 pm fishing contest is a must-do. It's a fantastic experience, and it's not too hot at night. Jumping in the water and catching fish to the sound of dynamic music is a blast, and you can even bring home a big carp.
It's a paradise for children, with a one-ticket pass for many activities, allowing you to play as much as you want without changing clothes (shorts or quick-drying clothes are recommended). Free luggage storage is available in the lobby. The park's train is free to ride, just like the bus, so you can get off and enjoy any activity you want. The most memorable ones were the intimate contact area (there are huge koi fish that you can feed and pet for free) and the happy crab (you can fish for small crabs in the stone river and catch a lot in a short time). If you want to go in the water, you can go to the beach, where there are changing rooms and showers. After playing, sitting on the beach and watching the sunset is beautiful.

It was OK to watch the fountain show at night. The next morning, I rented a small tram and wanted to go to the botanical garden. The lady who rented the tram said it was not open. It was too hot. I walked for ten minutes and then returned to the hotel. It is suitable to come in spring and autumn.
I went to Tangshan on a business trip and had nothing to do. I went to Nanhu Park to stroll around. As soon as I entered, I felt very like it. It was originally a collapsed area of the coal mine, and it was used as a landfill site for a while. Later, it was transformed into a very beautiful park.
