📝Travel tips
🔸Take the high-speed train to Beidaihe Station, not Qinhuangdao Station, for cheaper and closer taxi rides
🔸Qinhuangdao gets extremely hot and sunny from 11 AM–2 PM in summer—stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities; stay hydrated and use sunscreen
🔸Choose accommodations in Beidaihe District, near residential areas with affordable hotels and restaurants, close to Pigeon Nest, Biluo Tower, Tiger Stone, and other attractions
