This should be a seaside resort that most people will miss! And I have to highly recommend it!
Photo taken in June 2020, it was also a coincidence. Due to a flight change to Qinhuangdao, I switched to a train at the last minute, and then...
20 minutes drive from Shanhaiguan Railway Station, I discovered a place called 'Dongdaihe'! Actually, this is Huludao! And it's not in Hebei! It's already in Liaoning!
If it weren't for this chance encounter, I would never have known about this place! After arriving, I found out that Huludao is such an interesting place!
Extremely low prices, fresh seafood, seaside homestays with stunning views... niche historical and cultural attractions... and there's even... a World Cultural Heritage site!
Huludao, originally just a transit point, made me stay for five whole days!
It only takes about 20 minutes to get to the easternmost end of the Great Wall - Shanhaiguan; and the Jiumenkou Great Wall on Huludao is a very niche World Cultural Heritage site. Climbing the authentic water Great Wall is quite interesting!
I also went to~~
One of the most well-preserved Ming Dynasty ancient cities in China: Xingcheng
The world's first leaning tower is on the way to Xingcheng, called the 'Qianwei Leaning Tower'
Its inclination and age are both greater than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and it's especially fun to take pictures
Go find Cao Cao's 'East to the Jieshi Mountain to view the vast sea', and when you find the Jieshi, you also find the stunning seascape. If you like horse riding, take a ride along the sea, it's quite a different kind of fun!
Compared to the well-known Beidaihe, this place is less crowded and quiet, with low consumption, yet on the same coastline. Although the beauty of Aranya is indeed impressive... But, the price for one night there is enough to stay in Dongdaihe for ten days!
