Travel Guide for Meihekou, a Small Northeastern City with a Budget of 200-300 RMB per Person Tonghua

Travel Guide for Meihekou, a Small Northeastern City with a Budget of 200-300 RMB per Person 💐 📍Location: Meihekou City, Tonghua, Jilin Province. Environment Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Entertainment Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ For friends living in the northeast, especially in Jilin Province, Meihekou is definitely worth a visit. It can be said to be one of the most entertaining cities within Jilin Province. The environment here is beautiful, the facilities are complete, and although it is a county-level city, it has a very urban feel. It is a great place for a short weekend trip. However, if you are coming from a long distance, it is not highly recommended to come specifically for this city. But if you plan to visit multiple cities, you can spend a day here to enjoy the leisure of this small city. 🎬Scenic Spots Overview: Zhibei Village, Meixiaowild Flower Sea, Northeast Nightless City, Hailong Lake Park. ⏰Time Recommendation: It is recommended to arrive in Meihekou in the afternoon, take a stroll in the evening, and then explore a bit more the next morning before leaving. 🚗🚞Transportation Recommendation: You can drive or take a train, as Meihekou has a train station. For traveling within the city, it is recommended to take a taxi, which is cheap and convenient, although parking spaces at scenic spots are hard to find. 🏠Accommodation Recommendation: You can choose a place close to Meixiaowild Flower Sea, as the main scenic spots are concentrated around this area; or you can choose a place close to the train station for convenience. The city is not large, so no matter where you stay, it won't be far to get to various places. 🍻Restaurant Recommendation: You must visit Yinglan Korean Restaurant. Their signature dish is Guobaorou (sweet and sour pork), and other dishes are also very rich, moderately priced, and very delicious. This restaurant is a local chain with many branches. Remember to go early, as there will be a long queue. 💐Scenic Spot Recommendation: Meixiaowild Flower Sea and Zhibei Village. These places are very beautiful with large areas of flowers, and you can take a small train to tour around. These two places are together, and it is recommended to visit them at dusk, as the scenery is very nice. The area is large and there is also a play area for children. 🌆Northeast Nightless City: Personally, I don't think it's very necessary to visit. There are a lot of people, the roads are narrow, and the smoke is very choking. I usually live in Xi'an, and compared to the Tang Paradise Nightless City, this place is far inferior. The roads are too narrow, making it feel very crowded. Although many people go there just to follow the trend, I personally feel it is not very meaningful. You can take a quick look and leave quickly, as it is hard to get out once you get in. 🏞Hailong Lake: It is recommended to visit in the morning, take a walk by the lake, and enjoy the fresh air. The park is not small, the scenery is beautiful, and it is worth a visit. ⏳Timeline: Check into the hotel or guesthouse on the first afternoon, rest for a while, and then go for dinner. After dinner, around six o'clock, head to the Flower Sea and Zhibei Village, which will take about an hour and a half to tour. After that, walk for about twenty minutes to the Northeast Nightless City, take a look, and then go back to rest. The next morning, around seven or eight o'clock, head to Hailong Lake, where it is not hot and comfortable. After breakfast, you can check out and leave. 💰Budget per Person: Hotel (100) + Meals (100) + Scenic Spot Expenses (100) + Transportation, and you can have a great time.

One-day trip to Meihekou, a small city in Northeast China

(Zhibei Village + Northeast Night City + Hailong Lake) Standard one-day tour route in Meihekou. 1. Zhibei Village: It is recommended to rest at a local homestay or hotel in Meihekou around noon. Head to Zhibei Village around 4 PM to enjoy the old-time charm at dusk, which offers a great experience! Stroll around Zhibei Village and save some room for food at the Night City. Tips: The Folk Museum is really worth a visit. When I went, the ticket was 15 yuan, and you can get up close to the exhibits inside. It's best to stay in Zhibei Village until 7 PM to see the lights turn on. The butterfly lights at night are even more beautiful! Walking the same route again under the night lights offers a different feeling. 2. Northeast Night City: Arrive at Northeast Night City by 8 PM. The distance between the two spots is not far, so you can walk there. If you don't have the energy, you can take a taxi. If you are driving, parking might be difficult there. There are thirty performances in the Night City, usually rotating to ensure that visitors can always see a show. You can check the performance schedule at the venue. Regular performances are about 20 minutes each. Tips: The most popular performances, the Tang Dynasty Night City-style Unfallen Sister and the Aerial Phoenix, start at the same time. Since the venues are far apart, you can only choose one and wait to see the other. 3. Hailong Lake: A large park, it is recommended to start from the area with Huizhou-style architecture (southwest of Hailong Lake) and walk east along the lake to the Lotus Pond. The best time is around 7 or 8 AM the next day, as the morning is cool and refreshing. After finishing, you can return to the homestay or hotel to rest and prepare to check out. The pot-wrapped meat at the Yinglan Korean Restaurant is a must-try. Their Korean cuisine is very authentic. The trip to Meihekou ends perfectly! 🔚

There are many entertainment facilities, suitable for bringing children. The restrooms are very clean. ✨Zhibei Village There are way too many people.

Accompanied by some bok choy, this bowl warms your heart. The soup mixed with rice and meatballs is really fragrant.

Reverse Travel to Meihekou

✨ Zhibei Village The memories of the 70s and 80s include a museum, pastoral ranch, post office, supply and marketing cooperative, barbershop, and a large field of flowers. ✨ There are many retro trinkets. If you have the chance, you can stay overnight in a homestay in the village. It comes with a small courtyard and is not expensive. It feels like it would be very cozy~ The Zhibei Village during the day and night has different styles too. ✨ Northeast Never Sleep City It's similar to Xi'an's Datang Never Sleep City, like a small night market in the evening. ✨ Hailong Lake Suitable for a breezy walk and you can camp there. ✨ Yinglan Guobaorou So popular you can't even queue up. We went to the store to get a takeout. The taste is quite good, similar to Yanji Guobaorou, with a very thin crust.

The small city of Meihekou has something special

For the May Day holiday, I planned to avoid the crowds by visiting the small northeastern city of Meihekou, but it turned out to be packed with people... The photos I could take were limited, but the one-day trip experience was pretty good. If it were less crowded, I'd be willing to come back for another visit. Sharing a simple travel guide overnight! Recommended must-visit spots: 1 Zhibei Village It's a village with a northeastern architectural style from the 70s and 80s of the last century. Inside the village, there's a supply and marketing cooperative, museum, pastoral ranch, snack street, intangible cultural heritage street, and some specialty shops (photo studio, post office, etc.), as well as a few chain commercial stores. It's suitable for strolling, taking photos, and eating. The prices for snacks at the entrance and inside the village are quite fair, not exorbitantly priced like other tourist areas. Before coming, I read in a guide that the main entrance's Mei Xiaoye Starry Flower Sea is also worth visiting, but it seems due to the season? The flowers were not blooming yet. 2 Hailong Lake A 4A scenic spot, it feels like a big park, but it's well-planned and clean, suitable for a lakeside breeze and walking. There are many camping or picnic spots by the lake, and you can also take a boat or speedboat. Due to limited time, I didn't go deep into the area, and I regret not reaching the photogenic camping base. 3 Northeast Never Sleeps City The place I was most looking forward to, it's really rare to find something like this in the northeast! It's a few streets that combine food and performances. On both sides of the road are snack vendors with a rich variety, and every few dozen meters there are performances: ethnic dances, performance art, bonfire parties, and so many, so many beautiful women in ancient costumes. The performances are at fixed times, starting one after another from around 6 pm. I suggest checking the schedule on the official WeChat account before going. ✔ Key point, all these attractions are free to enter! You'll need to choose whether to pay for certain activities within the scenic area. OK, the most famous delicacy in Meihe is probably the 'Yinglan Chaozu Guobaorou' (Yinglan Chaozu sweet and sour pork), but because it was so crowded during May Day, I couldn't wait for a table and gave up on it. Instead, I chose the nearby 'Yongshu Laogao Lijia', where the barbecue was okay, but it's just the average level you can find anywhere, and the cold noodles were really disappointing, dammit ( Next time when it's less crowded, I must try the Guobaorou!

A lesser-known travel destination in the northeast, Meihekou

1: Korean-Chinese Yilang Guobaorou, specializing in Guobaorou; it's very popular and often requires queuing, so it's better to go early~ The cold noodles are also tasty, with a sweet and sour flavor. 2: After the meal, we went straight to Zhibei Village Flower Sea for photos, a vast expanse of flowers, and there's even a little train, where you can ride and take pictures. Pictures 3, 4: Zhibei Village, which has some northeastern specialty shops, restaurants, and homestays, is also very photogenic. It's recommended to try the hot and sour noodles in Zhibei Village!!! Picture 5: After leaving Zhibei Village, we went to the Northeast Never Sleep City (night market), where there are performances at night. The next day we went to Hailong Lake, which is actually a large park, suitable for leisurely strolls and photography. Picture 6: For our last meal in Meihekou, we had Yongshu BBQ, which tastes good, and the service is also very good. Of course, there are quite a few people during meal times. Accommodation: The hotel is a newly opened Jinjiang Star, located opposite the train station, newly renovated with good conditions, clean and tidy, and the service is good too~ Parking is more convenient at night, you can park next to the hotel.

Visiting the Little Jiangnan of Jilin: I encountered the water town in the snow!

Visiting the Little Jiangnan of Jilin: I encountered the water town in the snow. In Meihekou, Jilin, there is a hidden beautiful place, which has the same beautiful scenery as the water town of Jiangnan. The severe winter has arrived, and the snow and the water town blend here, forming a fairy-tale beauty. This is the Hailong Lake Shili Shop in Meihekou.
