Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Benxi, Liaoning Province, is known as the "Chinese Cave City". It is home to the longest underground river in Asia, the Benxi Water Cave, which is a treasure of the northern karst landform. The temperature in the cave is 12℃ all year round. The winding underground river of more than 5,800 meters has been through 100 million years. When you travel by boat, you will see stalagmites and stalactites on both sides of the river. The jade elephant, the sword of heaven and other strange stones are like a dream in the light and shadow. In addition to the well-developed water cave scenic spots, Benxi also hides primitive secrets such as Wangtian Cave and Tianlong Cave. Explorers can challenge unopened karst cave branches, climb rugged rock walls, cross narrow cracks, and encounter underground lakes and rare curly stone groups. Some caves retain the remains of human activities in the Bronze Age, and ancient fossils are hidden among the mosses on the cave walls. Geological wonders are intertwined with historical traces. The professional team provides a variety of experiences such as caving, abseiling, and underground photography. The adventure environment suitable for all seasons makes Benxi the ultimate classroom for unlocking the mysteries of the northern underground, inviting you to touch the vicissitudes of the earth's evolution.

In Liaoning! This resort hot spring is great

In Liaoning! This resort hot spring is great

👍Highly recommended: 1. The environment is tranquil, not crowded during non-holiday periods, and whether swimming or soaking in the hot springs, there is indeed a sense of relaxation and stress relief surrounded by mountains. 2. The bedding is comfortable, especially suitable for the upcoming cooler weather. 3. Strong theme presence, the 'maple leaves' seen everywhere and the overall color scheme match well, and the artistic atmosphere is also well crafted. 4. The service attitude is good, although you can feel that the staff is not very skilled, but fortunately, the enthusiasm for service is online. 👎Least recommended: 1. The meals are too poor. Whether in terms of taste, portion, or variety, it is difficult to satisfy. As the largest or even the only choice for dining for guests, the quality of the catering products really needs to be seriously improved to establish a good reputation. 2. The highlight infinity pool is rather murky, and guests who are sensitive to hygiene may not be able to swim; there are hot spring pools at 32 degrees and 39 degrees, the rest are cold water, and the indoor hot spring pools are either dirty or always in a state of draining, which makes one lament that all that glitters is not gold. 3. The customer-centric consciousness is not reflected. Being notified at the last minute that breakfast would be delivered to the room due to fewer guests, compared to the breakfast cost of 150+ per person, the no-choice breakfast tray content is indeed disappointing. There is only one chair in the room, so the other person has to sit on the bed with a partition to eat. Although you can get full, the feeling of being forced into this choice is helpless. 4. The hotel is still under construction, and apart from the hot springs and swimming pool, the rest of the time can only be 'boringly' spent.

Laopingtou, Caohuzhang Town | Benxi's "Altay"

Laopingtou, Caohuzhang Town | Benxi's "Altay"

👍About the attraction: Laopingtou is located in Caohuzhang Town, Benxi Manchu Autonomous County. Despite its unassuming name, its stunning scenery attracts many visitors. Laopingtou is named after its terrain and is a buffer zone between two peaks. It is shaped like a saddle, with the top of the hill forming the bottom of the saddle and the peaks forming the sides. The east and west peaks extend outwards, corresponding to Erpingtuo and Dapingtuo. 🌟Highlights: Laopingtou is unique in that the landscape of the "hilltop" is an alpine tundra, which is not common in northeast China. The mountains and grasslands blend into the picture, giving the soul a great shock and a strong visual impact. ❤Recommended reason: This place seems to satisfy all our fantasies about poetry and the distance. At this moment, in Benxi's "Altay," you can see the embodiment of vitality. More importantly, it "heals the so-called mental exhaustion" and restores peace of mind. 📍Address: Yuanjiabaozi, Caohuzhang Town, Benxi, Liaoning 🚗Transportation: Navigate to Yuanjiabaozi, Caohuzhang, Benxi, and drive 1 km further to a creek. It is recommended to download offline maps in advance, as there is no signal in the mountains. The mountain roads are slippery on rainy days, so self-driving is not recommended. 💗Other tips: Bring trekking poles if possible, and bring enough food and water. Be sure to take your trash with you and protect the environment.

Xiaoshi Yizhuang.

Xiaoshi Yizhuang.

Xiaoshi Yizhuang has developed into a 4A scenic spot after several years. From the original pool, rockery, and courtyard, to the current various amusement projects, it also reflects the importance of business. Xiaoshi Yizhuang is not too far from Shenyang. It takes a few hours to play inside. After coming out, you can go to Xiaoshi to drink a bowl of mutton soup. The ticket is CNY 30. Police officer certificates, physician certificates, teacher certificates, etc. can be exempted from tickets. As soon as you enter the door, it is a fish feeding project, with a smoky atmosphere. There are not many natural landscapes inside, most of them are artificially built, and many amusement projects have been added. There are more children to go, so it is still quite profitable. There is a high-altitude water slide, sitting on a magic carpet, waiting for an hour, and sliding down for two minutes. There are also many paid projects, all kinds. There are also many things to eat and drink inside, which are completely commercialized. There are also internet celebrities live streaming.

Benxi|Wenquan Temple

Benxi|Wenquan Temple

|Wenquan Temple. Benxi|Wenquan Temple Wenquan Temple is a famous Buddhist temple in the history of Benxi. As the name of the temple became more and more famous, this area was also called Wenquan Temple. The original name of Wenquan Temple was Sanguan Temple. This name can be seen in the 'Reconstruction of Wenquan Temple Stele' in the 37th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1698): There is a shrine next to the spring, called Sanguan Temple, but there is no stele in the temple, so it cannot be verified. The three officials are the officials of heaven, earth, and water. They are the gods worshipped by Taoism. From this, it can be known that the predecessor of Wenquan Temple was a Taoist temple. When was it renamed Wenquan Temple? The above-mentioned stele also has the following records: When I was in the Qing Dynasty, the mountains and forests were beautiful, and there were monks Guanghui and Guangzhi living in the temple. They worked together to rebuild it and renamed the temple Wenquan Temple. According to the 'Reconstruction of Wenquan Temple Stele' in the 37th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, in the late Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the newly arrived monks Guanghui and Guangzhi had rebuilt it, indicating that Wenquan Temple already existed at this time. Moreover, there used to be a Sanguan Temple here, but unfortunately 'the temple has no stele', and the initial creation date 'cannot be verified'.
