Hey everyone! Who says Qinhuangdao only has the sea? Hidden in the northern mountains, Laojunding is simply a divine spot for summer escape + amazing photos! It offers thrilling rafting where you can splash water, and serene green mountains and waters for a leisurely stroll. Even the air smells of grass and trees. This trip instantly landed me in the center of my WeChat Moments! 📸 🌟 Let's Talk About Laojunding's "Unique Features" - North China's Super Exciting Mountain Canyon Rafting: The entire course is 3.8 kilometers long! It's not a slow, leisurely float; there are several sharp turns with drops over 5 meters, where waves splash directly onto your face, instantly maximizing the cool sensation. Yet, it's not too dangerous, so the whole family can enjoy it (children must be over 1.2 meters tall) 💦 - Original Ecological Mountain and Water Secret Realm: Unlike popular scenic spots filled with artificial landscapes, here the mountains are green and the water is clear. Walking on the boardwalk, you can hear birds chirping and see small fish swimming. In summer, your eyes are filled with green, and in autumn, it transforms into a vibrant red and yellow contrast, providing ultimate healing ~ - Niche Ancient-Style Photo Spots: The scenic area hides Laojun Stone, the ruins of an alchemy furnace, and wooden bridges adorned with red lanterns. Just put on a Hanfu outfit and you can take stunning ancient-style photos. There are few people, so no need to fight for photo spots! 📅 Super Practical "1-2 Day Itinerary" 👉 One-Day Trip (Focus on efficient fun) 1. 09:00-09:30 Arrive at the scenic area: If driving, park directly in the scenic area's parking lot (free!). Buy your rafting tickets + entrance tickets at the gate. Remember to wear quick-drying clothes in advance and bring a waterproof bag for your phone ~ 2. 09:30-11:30 Explore the mountain and water boardwalk: First, take a leisurely walk on the "Yunqi Boardwalk." Along the way, you can see Qingya Waterfall and Yingyue Lake. Take advantage of the soft morning light to snap some beautiful photos! 3. 12:00-13:00 Enjoy local flavors: The farmhouses within 1 kilometer of the scenic area are all great! Must-try dishes include steamed mantis shrimp (freshly caught and incredibly delicious) and iron pot stewed mixed fish, paired with stir-fried wild vegetables and eggs. You can eat your fill for about 50 RMB per person 🥘 4. 13:30-16:00 Go rafting!: The water temperature is just right in the afternoon. Put on your life jacket and get on the rubber raft. Remember to splash water on your friends (prepare water guns in advance!). There's even a hot shower at the end, super thoughtful ~ 5. 16:00-17:00 Watch the sunset: Head to the mountaintop observation deck to wait for the sunset. Frame the entire scenic area's mountains and water in your lens. The evening light is super soft, making every photo look great! 👉 Two-Day Trip (Suitable for deep relaxation) - Day 1: Arrive at 2 PM, stay at a hotel within the scenic area. First, explore "Laojun Stone" and "Alchemy Furnace" for ancient-style photos. In the evening, go to Yingyue Lake to watch the sunset glow. Have a barbecue in the courtyard of your guesthouse at night (some guesthouses provide grills) ~ - Day 2: Wake up at 8 AM, enjoy the hotel's farmhouse breakfast (corn, eggs, millet porridge are super fragrant). Then follow the one-day itinerary. Return at 4 PM, plenty of time! 🚗 Transportation Guide (Both self-driving and public transport are convenient) - Self-driving: Navigate to "Qinhuangdao Laojunding Scenic Area." It's about 1 hour from Qinhuangdao city center and 1.5 hours from Beidaihe. Take the Jingha Expressway → Chengqin Expressway. After exiting the highway, all roads are asphalt and easy to drive ~ - Public transport: From Qinhuangdao Station, take "Funing Bus No. 6" to Funing Bus Station, then transfer to the "Funing-Daxinzai" special line, and get off at Laojunding Scenic Area Station. The whole journey takes about 2 hours. It's recommended to check the departure times in advance (one bus at 8 AM / one at 12 PM) ~ 🏡 Accommodation Recommendations (3 personally tested, no regrets) 1. Laojunding Resort Hotel: Right inside the scenic area! Open the window to mountain views, wake up to bird songs in the morning, and it's a 5-minute walk to the rafting starting point. No need to rush early, perfect for those who want to be lazy ~ Rooms have scenic balconies, great for stargazing at night ✨ 2. Qinhuangdao Shanhaijian Homestay: A 10-minute drive from the scenic area, a pastoral courtyard with swings and a small vegetable garden. The owner will give you homegrown peaches/plums. You can rent a grill for a barbecue, super suitable for family trips or trips with girlfriends ~ 3. Beidaihe Arcadia Seaside Resort Hotel: If you want to enjoy both mountains and sea, choose this one! It's a 1-hour drive from Laojunding. The hotel has its own private beach. After visiting Laojunding, you can go to the beach to walk on the sand, maximizing the vacation feel. The rooms are European style, great for photos too ~ 📸 6 "Photo King" Check-in Spots + Photography Tips 1. Qingya Waterfall (Rafting Starting Point) - Tip: Wear bright yellow/pink clothes (they contrast beautifully with the green mountains and water, making for great photos). Stand to the side of the waterfall, use a wide-angle lens on your phone, squat low, and make the water flow "float" over your head. Shoot before 10 AM to avoid backlight, making your legs look longer and capturing the entire waterfall 🌊 2. Yunqi Boardwalk - Tip: Walk in the middle of the boardwalk, turn back and smile + gently touch your hair. Have a friend shoot from below, capturing the curve of the boardwalk and the lush green trees. Shoot at 4 PM in the evening, when the sunset casts light spots on the leaves, creating an amazing atmosphere 🍃 3. Laojun Stone - Tip: Wear Hanfu/New Chinese style dress, place your hand on the stone, look into the distance in profile. Use a telephoto lens on your phone to compress the background, highlighting the person and the stone's outline. Shooting on a cloudy day gives it more of an ancient "fairy" feel 🪨 4. Wave Bend (During Rafting) - Tip: Put your phone in a waterproof bag and use sports mode. Have a friend sit in the front row, and you capture the moment the waves splash up from the back. Make your expressions exaggerated (big smile/peace sign). The orange life jacket makes you look super fair, full of dynamic energy 💦 5. Yingyue Lake - Tip: Find a willow tree by the lake as a foreground. Stand on the shore so your body and reflection are symmetrical. Use the "Reflection Mode" on your phone. Shoot when there's a light mist in the morning, it looks like you're in a fairyland. Wearing a white dress makes for even better photos 🌙 6. Mountaintop Observation Deck (Sunset) - Tip: Bring a straw hat/scarf, hold it up to flutter in the wind. Use panoramic mode on your phone to frame the orange-red sky, green mountains, and lake. Remember to place the person in the right 1/3 of the frame for a more comfortable composition 🌇 🌍 5+ Nearby Scenic Areas, More Value When Visited Together! 1.

🌄 Between the mountains and the sea stands this ancient fortress carrying a thousand years of history—Shanhaiguan. Every brick and tile tells a story of the past, and each attraction feels like a slice of history worth savoring. Come with me to unlock its charm! 🌟 Must-Visit Attractions 1. The First Pass Under Heaven: The eastern starting point of the Great Wall and the masterpiece of the Ming Great Wall military system. Climb the Zhendong Tower for a panoramic view of the fortress. Touching the city bricks that are over 600 years old, you can almost feel the spirit of ancient warriors. I recommend joining the "Pass-Breaking Ceremony" at the scenic area—wear Hanfu, receive a pass permit, and immerse yourself in the Ming dynasty border defense culture. Perfect for photos! 2. Laolongtou (Old Dragon’s Head): The only place where the Great Wall meets the sea, truly where "the Great Wall connects with the sea and sky"! Stroll along the stone city by the sea, with roaring waves beneath your feet and the boundless Bohai Sea in the distance—an indescribable awe. Climb the Chenghailou to admire plaques and stele forests left by Ming and Qing emperors and scholars, feeling the blend of history and nature. 3. Jiaoshan Great Wall: Known as "The First Mountain of the Great Wall," here you can see the majestic Great Wall winding through the mountains. If you're lucky, you might catch the mist swirling around, creating a fairyland-like scene. For the fit and adventurous, hiking up offers stunning views along the way; for a more relaxed experience, take the Love Cable Car and enjoy the spectacular sight of the Great Wall hanging between the mountains from above. 4. Shanhaiguan Ancient City: Home to many Ming and Qing style buildings and ancient streets, walking here is full of local life and atmosphere. Visit the Wang Family Courtyard to experience the life of Ming and Qing officials, explore the General’s Office to learn about the Ming military command center, and climb the Bell and Drum Tower to hear the morning and evening bells that have echoed for centuries. At night, don’t miss the "One Pass Night Show," where digital light and shadow technology vividly reenacts the "Battle of Yipianshi" between Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, with interactive performances that transport you back to that dramatic history. 🍱 Food Recommendations 1. Hun Guo: A Shanhaiguan specialty originating from Qing dynasty imperial banquets, this local intangible cultural heritage dish features a copper pot base of pickled cabbage and kelp, topped with pork belly, steamed jelly, meatballs, seafood, and more, all poured over with rich bone broth. Dip it in chive flowers, fermented tofu, or sesame sauce for a fresh and delicious taste that warms both body and heart. Recommended is "Shangguan Duor," an old shop praised by CCTV. 2. Pu Luo Leaf Cake: Made by wrapping fillings in pu luo leaves and steaming them, available in meat and peanut brown sugar flavors, with a unique plant fragrance and soft, chewy texture. The peanut brown sugar filling from "Ancient City Pu Luo Leaf Cake Shop" is a favorite for many. 3.

“The soundless waves drown the night, flooding the corners of the sky. The big fish swims through the cracks of dreams, gazing at your sleeping silhouette...” When Zhou Shen's ethereal and pure voice sings "Big Fish," the dreamlike scene always reminds people of the depth and tenderness of the sea. Qinhuangdao, a city by the Bohai Bay, is like a seaside paradise full of endless romance and surprises, just like the song.
