Day 1 - In The Land Of Empires

We kick start our journey in Qinhuangdao by visiting its most iconic landmark — the mighty Great Wall of China.

Ready for a day away from the city bustle? Let's head towards the lush Beidaihe Scenic Area swooning in the melodies of chirping birds. Did you know this place is heaven for bird watchers? Our next stop is Tiger Stone Marine Park, home to peculiar rock formations shaped like, you guessed it, tigers, creating an exciting natural spectacle! As if we didn't get enough of nature's creativity, we end our day at the serene Dove Nest Park famed for its views of the setting sun. Isn't it a perfect way to wind down after a day filled with enchanting natural sights?

Day 3 - Merging Past With The Present

Hop onboard the cultural rollercoaster as we start our day in the Qinhuangdao City Planning Exhibition Hall. It serves as a great portal to understand the city's growth. How fascinating is it to visualize historic maps and future designs coexisting? We then step back into the city's past at the resilient Mengjiangnu Temple. Do you feel the whispers of ancient folktales as we explore the temple? And what could be a better conclusion than the bustling People's Park? Tasting quirky street food, marveling at the local lifestyle, and acquiring unique souvenirs. Doesn't it feel like we are carrying a slice of Qinhuangdao back home with us?
