I had a wonderful time in Hulu Ancient Town. The town has preserved many traditional buildings, and walking through it feels like traveling back in time. I was also impressed by the folk performances and handicrafts displayed there.
Don't buy anything here unless you have a lot of money. The same small plastic toys cost seven times as much as in Xingcheng Ancient Town.
There's a children's playground inside, which the kids had a lot of fun. The square is lively in the evenings with barbecues and performances.

- City Wall: One of the best-preserved Ming Dynasty city walls in my country, it boasts a circumference of approximately 3.2 kilometers and boasts artillery emplacements at each corner.
- Bell and Drum Tower: Located in the center of the ancient city, the 17.2-meter-tall, three-story tower offers panoramic views of the city. The second floor houses an exhibition hall for unearthed cultural relics.
- Ji-Liao Commander-in-Chief's Mansion: This was the official residence built by Yuan Chonghuan when he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Ji-Liao region and stationed in Ningyuan. The mansion features a restored lobby, garden, and command platform.
In the long river of history, the ancient city of Xingcheng is like a shining pearl, quietly telling the story of the years. With a yearning for the ancient city, I set foot on this ancient land.
Stepping into the ancient city, it seems to have traveled through time and space and returned to the prosperous years hundreds of years ago. The streets paved with bluestone slabs are simple and heavy, and every stone seems to carry the memory of history. On both sides of the street, the buildings in the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties are scattered, with flying eaves, arches, carved beams and painted buildings, and antique fragrance, which makes people dazzled. Walking among them, it seems that you can hear the footsteps of the ancients and feel the temperature of history.
Walk into the bell and drum tower and climb to a high place, and you can see the whole picture of the ancient city. The four streets are staggered in a cross shape, dividing the ancient city into four areas, with a rigorous layout and ingenious planning. In the distance, the city wall is winding and the tower is majestic, telling the vicissitudes and tenacity of the ancient city. Standing upstairs, the breeze blows on your face, and the heavy sense of history is intertwined with the tranquility of modern times, which makes people feel emotional.
Walking along the city wall, touching the ancient bricks and stones, you can feel the traces of time. Outside the city wall, the moat is surrounded by sparkling water, which sets off the ancient city. In the ancient city, people leisurely shuttle between various shops, taste special snacks, and buy exquisite souvenirs. It is lively and peaceful.
Xingcheng Ancient City is not only a historical museum, but also a living cultural symbol. Here, I feel the precipitation of history and the inheritance of culture, and also experience the tenderness and beauty of time.

The coastal scenery is beautiful, and the beach sand is quite fine. It had just rained the day we went, but it wasn't sunny yet, so it felt foggy. However, there was a lot of trash on the beach, making the water already murky, and the trash made going in the water less appealing. Parking is convenient and is charged per use, 10 yuan per trip.
- Beaches: Kaisa Beach boasts clean, fine sand, and is home to the popular check-in spot "ILOVE Dongdaihe." Zhimao Bay Beach boasts shallow, flat waters, perfect for catching seafood, swimming, and even watching the sunrise.
- Historical Sites: The Jieshi Palace Ruins, the site where Cao Cao supposedly "faced Jieshi eastward to gaze upon the vast ocean," offer a glimpse into the city's history and culture. The Jiumenkou Water Wall is the only section of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall built on water, boasting a magnificent appearance.

- 1-Day Highlights Route: North Gate of the Scenic Area → Geological Museum → Black Dragon Pass → Heavenly Monument → Silver Chain Hanging Sky → Five Dragon Pond → Emerald Heavenly Pond → Qinglong Pond Zipline Return.
- 2-Day In-Depth Route: First day hiking the main canyon and studying geology, second day visiting the nearby Shikan Village and camping under the canyon's stars.
The scenic area is not small, and the facilities are relatively complete. The ticket price is 208 if it is all-inclusive, including two cruises, slides, glass plank roads, small trains, and sightseeing buses, which saves a lot of energy. The canyon has mountains and water, including two canyons, and a small waterfall at the end. It feels that there should be more water and better scenery during the flood season or after the rain. It takes about four hours to play. The entrance and exit of the scenic area are quite practical. You can walk along the tree-lined mountain road directly after entering the door. After playing, take a sightseeing bus and go directly back to the door. The gate is not set far away, which is great.

The environment in the scenic area is clean, tidy and comfortable. The length of the Great Wall that can be visited on foot is less than two kilometers and the enemy building and the mouth are complete. It is not tired to climb the Great Wall. You can look back at the water Great Wall at the gate of Jiumen and the surrounding ancient villages.
Jiumenkou Water Great Wall is the only section of the Great Wall of China that is built on water. It is located in Lijiabao Township, Suizhong County, Huludao City, Liaoning Province, 15 kilometers away from Shanhaiguan. It is named after the nine water-draining gates under the city bridge, which has a unique view of "the city is in the water and the water is flowing under the city". There is also a 1,027-meter-long Jiumenkou Tunnel in the scenic area, which has various functional areas and allows you to experience the fun of crossing two provinces with one foot. It takes about 2 hours to climb the Great Wall once. The road is relatively steep and suitable for physical exercise
