(Xingchengfuwuqu) Restaurant

Driving to Dalian on the Beijing-Harbin Expressway, I stopped by the Xingcheng Service Area, just off the castle, to rest and refuel. Xingcheng Service Area is a beautiful, large area with excellent facilities and amenities, as evidenced by its fortress-like architecture and plaza. The castle-like appearance and the presence of major brands make it a comfortable place. Service Area Facilities The gas station here is owned by PetroChina, and the service is excellent. There are charging stations and plenty of parking spaces. There's also a professional auto repair shop. There's ample parking, but the area also sees a lot of traffic. There's a wide variety of restaurants, including chain stores and smaller establishments. There's also a small shopping mall for browsing. 🚏 The restrooms are clean and hygienic🚻. 🚗 For those passing by, be sure to check out the Xingcheng Service Area🚏
