Avoid tourist traps with the Beijing-Qinhuangdao travel guide for a two-day, one-night trip||| If I had to name the city in Hebei I've visited the most, aside from my hometown, it would be Qinhuangdao. I used to think that summer was the only suitable time to go to the beach to enjoy the sun and sand, but ever since I met my girlfriend, I've discovered how beautiful the island is during the off-season. 'So close, so beautiful, weekend trips to Hebei'—Qinhuangdao 🚞: 8:15-11:50 Beijing-Qinhuangdao soft seat💰66.5 (Taking the high-speed train from Beijing is not cost-effective, doesn't feel much faster) 🏨 Accommodation: Jinmeng Bay has many B&Bs (first-line sea view rooms are very nice) ❄️ Off-season: Weekends 200+, winter only 100+ so off-season is really a good deal! 🔥 Peak season: Expect to pay six to seven hundred during the May Day holiday or summer vacation (staying in the Haigang district is more cost-effective‼️) 🚗 Transportation: Taxis and ride-hailing are very convenient and not expensive, if it's close by, riding a shared electric bike is also good. Day 1⃣️: When you're at the seaside, of course, you have to eat seafood, I've personally tried two places that are not bad. Per person 💰100 🦐 Kun Wu Seafood Big Shot: Reasonably priced, an old local shop, a big pot is quite satisfying to eat. 🦀️ Xiao Jie Affordable Seafood: Their mantis shrimps are very large and all alive, very fresh, the spicy crab is also good, the boss and waiters are very nice, and the price is okay. Afternoon ⛲️ Xigang Garden: As Qinhuangdao's version of 'Little Kamakura', Xigang Garden, which used to be an old port, is especially suitable for walking and taking photos📷. Dock, lighthouse, ship, sea, railway, retro buildings, you can think of all the places to take photos. If you're tired, you can also go to a coffee shop to rest. ⛩️ Qinhuang Alley: A place with a local atmosphere at night! 🥔 Mashed Potato Stew: Sticky mashed potatoes with glutinous stew, plus sesame sauce and vinegar, are especially fragrant. 🍜 Fried Noodle Skin: The first time I heard about it on the island, after frying with shredded potatoes, then mixing with sesame sauce and small ingredients, it's especially delicious when dipped in soup. 🧋 Blushing Qin Tian Tian: A local milk tea shop on the island, quaint and tasty, and cheap, with an average price of around 10💰! Day 2️⃣ 🌊 Jinmeng Bay: If the weather is good, you can get up early to watch the sunrise🌅, if you stay by the sea, the beach is right downstairs, friends who live in the city can also come directly, and after watching, you can go to the beach. The island's off-season beach and sea🌊 are super clean, the whole sea is shining, and you can also feed seagulls! Tiffany green from KFC is also there Noon 🌶️ Gele Mountain · Sichuan Small Restaurant: (Exclusive recommendation!) Super delicious Sichuan cuisine on the island, I've been there several times with my girlfriend, close to the seaside, the fragrant spicy chicken, ordinary potato slices are not ordinary at all, glutinous fresh pepper pig's trotters are very tasty! In the afternoon, you can go to the Qinhuangdao Museum for a visit, and the garlic sauce barbecue and fried meat are also delicious! In short, the off-season island feels like a high cost-performance ratio and beautiful scenery. If you don't consider going into the sea to play, I really recommend visiting!

I really like the sea in Qinhuangdao in January ( The white frozen sea, the blue sky, the red lighthouse, I have an illusion of being in Iceland FREE Free! FREE Free! And the seagulls from Siberia, I brought seagull food Seeing the red lighthouse by the sea It's like a scene in Miyazaki's comics I love this unpopular and deserted seaside in Qinhuangdao too much I brought a fountain and fireworks, it's so romantic! But it's not obvious at night Sisters, come and take pictures while there are not many people! The lanterns are also brought by myself~ In order to set off the atmosphere of the upcoming New Year, Beidaihe Dongshan Bathing Beach (A little bit of the beach in front of Pigeon Nest Park)|Free

This market street in Beidaihe is beautiful! Amazing architecture, many shops and restaurants! Perfect place to take a walk during the evening, and you can find many nice spots to take pictures! #streetfood #market

I am writing my first post today. this is about our recent trip to this lovely small city of Beidaihe , Neat Beijing. we did our two Nights and three days trip during recent october National day holidays.

Day of the dead ft halloween ghost train! This was an amazing event that we hosted at Clubmed Joyview Golden Coast for Halloween last year. Everyone dressed up as the characters from the animation movie Coco and we set out to make a ghost train scareing people as they passed through. Fun was had by all at the Halloween after party! #hallotrip

Beidaihe Gold Coast, the new photo punching place is here! A few days ago, I came back from Qindaidao Beidaihe. I have to say that Qinhuangdao is really a good place to take a summer vacation. There is no summer heat. I walked by the sea, and the sea breeze blows away and blows away the heat. It was cool and so comfortable. In Beidaihe these days, I found a good place to take pictures! There are various kinds of red card punching elements here, such as seaside swings, hot air balloons, helicopters, glass boats, and bird nests! The background is the sea, and the endless sea is super good! Here is the fishing island, located in Changli County, next to the Anaya community. But here is more suitable for vacation! It is a great place to relax! There is a lavender manor on the fishing island. This is the season of lavender bloom. The purple ocean is so beautiful. The small train around the lavender manor is also a good shot. The retro-style train is also a special style! There are also exciting outdoor hot springs! There are several large pools in the outdoor hot springs. I probably have no one at 7 o'clock in the past. Oh, and the sunset glow is super beautiful. The island is not only suitable for a family vacation, but also suitable for taking photos with girlfriends. In the few days here, I feel like I have given myself a long vacation, and my body and mind have been relaxed! ! And to be honest, its better than Anaya! Praise

In the Pingshuiqiao Park in Beidaihe District, a thin layer of ice covers the entire coastline, forming a peculiar ice sea landscape. The landscape stretches along the coastline, such as white silk scarves set on the beach, and several fishing boats are scattered among them, matching the fishing boats in the sea. Under the action of seawater and wind, sea ice forms different characteristics, some of which are wavy, some are blocky, and some are like snow peaks floating on wetlands. The sea ice extends to the surface of the sea and blends with the surrounding reefs. It is spectacular. To appreciate the magnificent scene, always have to suffer, and pay more hard work for ordinary people. Get up at 5:30, the island is here at six o'clock, the frozen seaside is very quiet, there are about a few photographers. We are all hard people and happy people. I like sunrise, prefer the sunrise of the ice sea.

As a romantic coastal city, Qinhuangdao is perfect for a weekend getaway. Here's a 3-day, 2-night travel guide for you. • Accommodation: It's recommended to stay near Beidaihe for convenient transportation and proximity to attractions. For those with ample budget, Sukha Hotel in Aranya and Hotel Indigo Beidaihe Rushi offer excellent sea views and services. For budget-friendly homestays, you can filter options on various platforms and book in advance for better deals. • Food: Must-try local seafood includes Qingshan Restaurant and Pin Xiaojie Affordable Seafood, both offering authentic local flavors. Yecunli Seafood Dumplings are generously stuffed and super satisfying; Beidaihe Yangchangzi features firm texture and unique taste; don't miss the thin-skinned, juicy Sibao Buns either. • Attractions: ◦ Day 1: Visit Pigeon Nest Park in the morning to witness the spectacular sunrise over the sea and observe birds in the shallows; spend the afternoon at Tiger Stone Marine Park sunbathing and enjoying water activities. ◦ Day 2: Explore the First Pass Under Heaven - Shanhaiguan Pass to feel its historical grandeur; then head to Laolongtou to see the magnificent Great Wall extending into the sea; stroll through the ancient town in the evening and sample local snacks. ◦ Day 3: Visit the artistic Aranya community to see the Lonely Library and Dune Art Museum; take an afternoon cable car ride to Xianluo Island for unique sea-viewing experiences.

Dawn·A Poetic Prelude Between Mountains and Sea At 4:30 a.m. in Pigeon Nest Park, when Eagle Rock lifts the crimson sun from Bohai Bay, the silhouettes of soaring gulls freeze into a painting before the stone carving of *Waves Scouring the Sand: Beidaihe*. To claim an entire beach for yourself, head straight to Qianshui Bay Bathing Beach—the receding tide reveals a shell-strewn shore where you can find translucent moon shells. Don’t forget to bring a bucket for your kids to collect hermit crabs; the intertidal zone’s biology lesson is far more vivid than any textbook. After tide-pooling, stick around for the newly opened *Different Art Town* nearby. Snap photos with Zhang Zhanzhan’s pink rabbit installations, and collect stamps from market stalls to redeem a self-portrait—your artsy social media feed will thank you. Daytime·A Revolution in Land, Sea, and Sky Fun The rocky clusters at Tiger Stone Marine Park are no longer just photo backdrops. This year’s new parasailing activity lets you soar 50 meters above the coastline. Families should make a beeline for Spiral Tower Marine Bar Park: catch the *Tower Show* at the beach theater in the morning, then join the 4 p.m. COS Water Carnival—dress as pirates for a ship-based water battle, where NPC "parrot pirates" might drench you from above (waterproof your phone!). For quieter moments, Dada Island’s trendy BOX is a hidden gem: the lake pavilion’s *White Snake* dance performance flows like ink-wash art, while the castle Livehouse hosts original singers at dusk. Sip craft beer in the glamping zone as you wait for sunset. Nightfall·A Feast of Fireworks and Flavors Liu Zhuang Night Market’s buzz gets a 2025 upgrade: beyond the classic "Eight Seafood Bowls" (try blue crab with garlic oysters), *Zifeiyu Restaurant*’s golden cornbread with braised mixed fish is the new star—locals rave about its "eyebrow-melting" umami. If it’s Friday, don’t miss the 8:40 p.m. fireworks show at Celebration Garden. Under the technicolor sky, the cyberpunk block of Jiuzi Tianjie stages NPC quests—like a *Monument Valley* moment when a hanfu-clad hostess hands you a "treasure map." Pro Tips·Unlock Hidden Perks - Recent high school grads get free entry to wildlife parks like Zushan Mountain; Happy Bay cruise tickets are half-price. - Stay at *Manhuaju Villa*’s private pool courtyard—sunset photos under Italian arches rival Santorini. It’s a 10-minute walk to East Beach. - The free *Daihe Water Street Summer Concert* runs June 25–July 10. Listening to folk songs by the sea? That’s the Beidaihe way. As waves recede from Aranya’s Dune Theater, mail yourself a postcard at *Cat’s Sky Castle*—this forever-young coastal town hides summer’s answers in every ripple.
