🌊 One Day in Qinhuangdao: Our Whirlwind Tour! 🗺️

#chinatravel We kicked off our Qinhuangdao adventure arriving at Qinhuangdao Station at 9 AM. After stepping out, we found a bus stop and quickly hailed a taxi using our usual ride-hailing app – can't travel without it! 😉 1️⃣ Stop 1: Qinhuangdao Museum 🏛️ You can book your visit through the Qinhuangdao Museum's official WeChat account. Just remember, they're closed on Mondays, so don't make a wasted trip! The museum has three floors, and we recommend starting from the third floor and working your way down. They even offer free guided tours at 10 AM – super informative! 2️⃣ Stop 2: Jinmenghaiwan (Golden Dream Bay) & Seafood Feast! 🐠 We took a taxi to the fishing port, and right next to it is the Sino-Ocean Undersea World. We found a restaurant there with super-fast service and a fantastic view of the ocean from the window. If you love a meal with a view, this spot is a must-try! The food was delicious, and the sea breeze was lovely. 3️⃣ Stop 3: Xigang Garden (West Port Garden) 📸 For photos, Xigang Garden is absolutely unbeatable! Every shot turned out incredibly atmospheric. It's just... HUGE! We've been twice and still haven't managed to explore the whole place. The shuttle bus is apparently ¥20 per person and stops running at 6 PM. My friend and I were stubborn and determined to walk the whole thing, but we failed! 😂 Only after getting home did I discover they actually have B&Bs inside the garden – definitely staying there next time! 4️⃣ Stop 4: Qinwang Alley (Qinhuang Xiaoxiang) 🍜 This vibrant alley has five entrances. We started from Entrance #1 and ate our way through to Entrance #3, which is where you'll find the popular "Lianhong Qintiantian" check-in spot. This section is mostly food stalls. If you keep walking, you'll find small souvenir shops. I highly recommend the potato pancake for ¥5 – seriously delicious! #qinhuangdaoadventures #soclosesobeautiful #nexttimeagain
