Opening hours: 07:00-18:00(Tickets available until 17:00; admission ends at 17:10)
Anonymous user:“The scenery is nice and worth seeing. Setting aside the price, I just wanted to offer a suggestion: I really don't understand why veterans' cards from other provinces don't work. Perhaps it's to cover maintenance costs or something else? I feel like there's some regional disparity. You could get half price, too. For those traveling alone, I recommend purchasing a small transportation package within the park. The mountain bus is highly recommended; it's a must. The penultimate stop offers a bird's-eye view of several major Chengde attractions. The lake boat is just okay—you'd miss it if you didn't, but then you'd feel completely unnecessary if you did. We didn't take the plains boat; the tour guide said there was only one attraction, but I'm not sure if that was true, so we skipped it. I hope this helps others who haven't been yet.”

M22***53:“Nanyu is very suitable for big babies to play. They are tall enough to play many games, and small babies can play some non-powered games and watch performances. The beach is by the sea, and the cableway on the right hand side of the entrance is great. The scenery is great and cool. Except for the queue, it is good. There are restaurants on the beach, which is convenient for eating. There are even Shanghai aunties, and the taste is not bad. The only complaint is that after playing on the beach, you can take a shower. 20 yuan per time is fine, but there is no parent-child room. The father is not here, and the mother can't take the boy to take a bath. He can't change clothes because he is covered in sand. I hope there will be improvements!”

They also took the initiative to introduce the tour route. I like the scenic spot. The scenery is beautiful, the windmill paradise, and the walk in the clouds... It's full of fun.”

The stage visuals were incredibly polished, a perfect blend of modern and classical elements. I fully sensed the unique luxury and regal aura of the imperial family. The night sky was also a perfect backdrop, complementing the stage lighting. It was a truly wonderful experience.”

E13***55:“Qinhuangdao's Dove Nest is a stunning destination that blends natural beauty with cultural heritage. Located on the shores of the Bohai Sea, it's a perfect spot for watching the sunrise and enjoying the seascape. In the early morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierce the clouds and shimmer across the golden sands, the entire world seems illuminated. The gentle sea breeze brings a refreshing breath of air, captivating the senses. Beyond its stunning natural beauty, Dove Nest also boasts a rich history and culture. This was once the spot where Cao Cao gazed eastward at Jieshi and contemplated the vast ocean, leaving behind the footprints and poems of numerous literati and poets. Today, the place still evokes a sense of grandeur and grandeur. The park is shaded by lush trees, blooming flowers, and boasts numerous sculptures of diverse shapes, adding to the artistic atmosphere. Dove Nest's clean, tidy beach, with fine sand, is a perfect place for children to play. Here, you can enjoy the sun and the beach, or stroll along the coastline and soak in the charm of the ocean. Whether you're on a family outing or a date, Dove Nest is a great choice. It's not just a natural wonder, but a moving poem, a place you'll never want to leave.”

三国无边:“It was just downstairs of the hotel building. We had to run to the restaurant next door and then come back to eat. It cost 118 per person. We had to choose between millet sea cucumber and green dragon. The three of us chose 2+1. As a result, the aunt who served the food was a little dizzy or something. She insisted on only letting us take three of the same shape. It was the two teppanyaki chefs who helped to explain it. Maybe there was some language barrier and poor communication. The small hot pot was too weak and the waiter took the initiative to change the fire. Good review! But there is no discount or preferential treatment for accommodation. It is still the same price, and you have to queue up for a sea view seat.”

Shuying:“This is difficult to evaluate, after all, it is a century-old brand. Moreover, I didn't spend much time in the ancient city and didn't go to many stores. Perhaps this is the most delicious food in the ancient city. This is a famous old store. You must eat it when you go there. In addition, with the tourism industry depressed, there are few tourists in the ancient city and few shops, so this business is pretty good. There are probably many locals who come to eat. When I took the buns inside, I heard a customer say that the price has increased again. | Baozi^ There is only one kind of filling, pork. The buns are not big, they are the kind of hot noodles, and the skin is chewy and soft. The meat filling is not big, and it is not the kind of meatballs. It is relatively loose, without soup, and it feels like it has all penetrated into the dough. The taste is not bad, but it can't be said to be very good. | Millet porridge^ is a typical non-self-made production. It is not made by high-quality millet to make it thick. The strong alkaline taste completely changes the rice fragrance of millet. The rice soup does taste sticky. [Mint] Environment: Ancient and has a bit of an old Beijing feel. The restaurant has a backyard, which is closed and you can't get in, but it's really cute when you look through the window. [Service Bell] Service: There is no service to pick up the food. You have to pay, pick up the dishes, and use the tableware yourself. The table is cleared in a timely manner and the restaurant is very clean. Like most of the Internet celebrity check-in restaurants in tourist areas, it's a pity if you don't go and disappointing if you go. To be fair, there's nothing boring or outstanding, just a meal.”

wbclawyer:“It is a famous shop in Shanhaiguan, mainly selling halal pastries. The shop is not big, and the counter is still the kind from the 1980s and 1990s, which looks very retro. The materials and ingredients are very particular, and the cooking method is always the old recipe. The mung bean cake has a very authentic taste, but it is too easy to dry, so it must be stored well or eaten as soon as possible. I personally feel that the taste of other pastries is average, and the price is a bit expensive.”

First of all, the building exterior is very beautiful. The interior decoration and various dishes are very unique. The "Red Star Buns" here have very thin skin and a lot of gravy. They are very delicious. "Golden Hair Lionfish" is very big! Very beautiful! It looks and tastes more like the squirrel mandarin fish in Hangzhou. It looks good! It tastes good!

This kind of steamed bun is white in color, small and exquisite, with thin skin and filling, soft and tasty, fragrant and not greasy, and lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. The appearance is like a blooming white chrysanthemum, which makes people very appetizing.”

The service at Fuqiang Store is very considerate. Each table is equipped with disinfectant, disposable gloves and mobile phone bags, as well as hawthorn slices and snacks. Moreover, free hot soy milk will be served when you take a seat, and a freshly washed watermelon will be given after the meal. The service is really thoughtful. The Jinshan smoked spine recommended by netizens is more delicious the more you taste it, fragrant but not greasy. Jinshan shrimp dumplings, each dumpling is guaranteed to have two large shrimps, very fresh.”

maxguanyue:“This restaurant is at the easternmost of Nanhu Food Plaza. Parking is very convenient and there are plenty of parking spaces. It is a research and development base for Hebei cuisine. It is a time-honored Chinese brand with a clean environment. The braised pork elbow here is quite famous and tastes really good. The chess piece sesame cakes are average. The other home-cooked dishes are average. There is nothing amazing. The waiters are too busy to handle it at mealtime. The price is not expensive, just over 300 for 4 people.”
