The palace is not too big, and it's well maintained. Lots of interesting architectural details to see. Many visitors and tourists even on normal days.
The one-on-one guide I hired for the Shenyang Palace Museum was a wise choice. The two-hour professional explanation made the trip worthwhile. From knowledge to astronomy and geography, Teacher Xiaomei was really comprehensive, interesting and vivid! I highly recommend asking Teacher Xiaomei for an explanation. She is as beautiful as her name. It was her explanation that brought this 400-year-old building to life and meaning. Thank you 🙏

It's a very unique building overall, and the price isn't high. It's also a building with considerable historical significance. I just hope they can limit the number of visitors. The Grand Green Building is very crowded, both upstairs and downstairs.
The Former Residence of Zhang Xueliang is a building steeped in historical charm, and I was deeply impressed by its unique charm during my visit. The furnishings and layout of the residence retain the original style of the era, making it feel like I've been transported back in time. The guided tours were very professional, and the staff were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and provided a thorough explanation. Furthermore, the beautiful surroundings further enhanced the experience. Overall, the Former Residence of Zhang Xueliang is a historical and cultural site worth visiting, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history.

For those who haven't been, it's definitely worth a visit, as it was once an emperor's summer retreat and a filming location for the TV series "Princess Pearl." Overall, it's quite nice. Separate tickets are required for boat or bus rides inside. We walked, buying tickets for the mountain-circling bus, which allowed for rest stops at each scenic spot – quite convenient. It's a great place for travel photography; we booked a photoshoot there, and it was a great experience. After a tiring day, we ate at Xin Shun He's intangible cultural heritage braised pork and also tried Shancheng Baixing (a type of apricot). I have to admire our stamina!
I'd long admired the Summer Palace, a place I'd always seen on TV called the "Rehe Palace." I'd read numerous reviews saying a guide was essential to avoid a whirlwind tour. Fortunately, I was able to arrange a tour with Guide Wang, who has been guiding here since 1997. We entered the palace area through the Lizheng Gate, where she provided a comprehensive explanation. The bus up the mountain was mostly just for sightseeing. The circular bus cost 60 yuan per person and covered three stops from the beginning to the end. If you wanted to get off, you had to get off together; otherwise, you had to wait on the bus. It wasn't a circular route. We got off at the second stop and had a panoramic view of the Xumi Temple and the Little Potala Palace. The sky wasn't very good, as it was a bit hazy, so the photos weren't very good, which was a bit disappointing. The circular route had many sharp turns and was quite bumpy. After descending the mountain, we headed to the lake area to see the Misty Rain Tower, a filming location for "My Fair Princess," and Jinshan Temple, a replica of the Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang built after Emperor Qianlong's trip to the south of the Yangtze River. We finally passed the Shuixinxie exit. The entire journey took a little over three hours and was quite demanding. It was a long-cherished trip. Tickets are a bit pricey, and I hope the bus management will be more flexible.

There were too many people at Shanhaiguan during the National Day holiday. If Li Zicheng had so many people, he would have been able to defend Shanhaiguan. The problem is that there are too many people, and the experience is much worse. Parking is very difficult, and it is also difficult to move after entering. But the scenery at the seaside is still good, and you can play in the sand and water. Overall, it is still okay.
I thought it was the official guide for the scenic area, but it turned out to be a Ctrip-produced guide. Shanhaiguan is magnificent, but the scenic area is average—not very large, and without much else to offer. The historical stories told by the guide were quite interesting. Shanhaiguan, also known as Yuguan, Yuguan, and Linluguan, is one of the northeastern passes of the Ming Great Wall. Before 1990, it was considered the eastern starting point of the Ming Great Wall. Known as one of the "Three Wonders of the Great Wall of China," "the First Pass in the World," and "the Throat of the Border Counties and the Guarantee of the Capital," it echoes Jiayuguan thousands of miles away and is renowned worldwide.
In 1985, Shanhaiguan was listed as one of the "Top Ten Scenic Spots in China."
Laolongtou, a National AAAAA-level scenic spot located 5 kilometers south of Shanhaiguan District, Qinhuangdao City, marks the eastern point where the Ming Great Wall meets the sea. It is the only section of the Great Wall that integrates land and sea defenses, including mountain, sea, pass, and city walls. The Great Wall during the Ming Dynasty spanned high mountains and steep cliffs, winding like a giant dragon into the Bohai Sea, so the first section of the Great Wall was called "Laolongtou".

As a frequent traveler, the only thing I recommend about Xianluo Island is the sea cable car. This suspended, non-enclosed gondola ride is incredibly thrilling, with the sea breeze caressing your face and the vast expanse of turquoise waters, making it well worth a try. However, Xianluo Island itself isn't worth exploring; it's a small area and the attractions are relatively old. The island's conch museum isn't particularly impressive, but there are plenty of parking lots nearby, making it relatively convenient.
The island is small, and the details are beautiful to be discovered. It's just crowded, so you can take a boat to get to the island faster. I didn't take any photos or videos when I got off the island. I could have found more places to take photos.

The Araya scenic area is excellent and highly recommended. Located in the Gold Coast Resort, it boasts a long coastline and beautiful beaches. Summer is the best time to visit. Since it's a closed-door area, safety is guaranteed.
Hidden beneath the coastal dunes, the Aranya Dune Art Museum is a work of land art in its own right. Its interior resembles a mysterious cave, with winding galleries connected by several light wells. Natural light pours in, blending with the sea breeze and the sound of waves to become part of the exhibition. Experiencing contemporary art here and experiencing the ingenious fusion of man-made and natural elements is a unique sensory experience.

Dove Nest, a place where beautiful birds gather, is a must-see for me every time I visit Beidaihe! Dove Nest in October offers pleasant weather, fresh air, and picturesque scenery, bringing to mind Chairman Mao's poem "Lang Tao Sha. Beidaihe": A thousand years have passed since the time of Wei Wu. A poem remains on the east side of Jieshi. The bleak autumn wind blows again, transforming the world...
On October 7th, I visited Dove Nest Park in Beidaihe. There were relatively few tourists, and the seaside scenery was quite nice. Climbing to a higher point offered a bird's-eye view of the sea and the city in the distance. The park isn't large, so it's quite enjoyable if you're not digging in the sand or playing in the water.

It was a great experience. The service was excellent. The attractions were good. I tried the indoor rafting, which was great. The fish spa was nice, with its small fish and water guns. The breakfast at the Suifeng restaurant and the food on the third floor of the hot springs were also very impressive and good.
Thanks to the rafting guy who pulled us out and helped me find my glasses. 🙏🙏🙏. The rafting waves were so thrilling. So much fun. The park is so huge. One day is definitely not enough to explore. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The service is great! No words can express my excitement at this moment❤

It was cloudy the day we visited; a clearer sky would have made the views even more expansive. The island boasts the only all-stone temple. The round-trip speedboat ride cost 15 yuan each way. Perhaps the driver was showing off, but the ride was quite intense, a rare experience nonetheless.
The Bijia Mountain Scenic Area is definitely worth a visit. The natural sand and gravel embankment connecting the sea and the land is narrow and long, like a brush resting on a small island in the shape of a "mountain", hence the name "Bijia Mountain".
