Summer Getaway in the Mountains | Benxi Free Creeking and Camping Guide

| Benxi Free Creeking and Camping Guide. It's too hot on the weekends, so I thought about taking the kids to play in the mountains and cool off! We packed up and left, and arrived 20 minutes after getting off the highway from Shenyang (highway toll was CNY 22.8). The journey took 1 hour and it's probably the closest free creeking and camping spot to Shenyang! It's very friendly and not tiring for a day trip without camping. Travel Guide: ◎ Cost: Free campsite ◎ Restroom: There is a simple shed ◎ Open fire for barbecue is allowed ◎ Location: Benxi Sanjiazi Bridge (there are two Sanjiazi Bridges, and there are two campsites near the bridge, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, so choose for yourself. ◎ What about the water quality? The water is very clear, with shallow areas suitable for children to play in. Adults can put their deck chairs or rocking chairs in the water and relax! ◎ Open fire for barbecue is allowed. The campsite sells small buckets, fishing nets, and simple meals. There is also a farmhouse nearby where you can eat. There is no equipment rental, so you need to bring your own!! Travel Tips: ◎ Bring sunscreen. There is little shade, so you need to set up your own awning or tent ⛺ ◎ One of the two campsites does not have a restroom, so bring your own toilet tent or use the cornfield 🌽 ◎ Bring a swimsuit for your child, otherwise they will change clothes every few minutes. You know, a few sets are not enough. ◎ There is also a campsite near Sanjiazi Bridge where many adults have water fights, kayaking, and swimming. ◎ Because it is a free campsite and has not been developed, the camping area by the river is not very flat and has many stones. The flat areas are crowded. ◎ Leave no trace camping✔ Leave no trace camping✔ Leave no trace camping✔ Important things must be said three times. Remember to take your trash with you sometimes! In summer, you have to play in the mountains and water. Bring a small fishing net and you can see many small fish with the naked eye. The water is crystal clear. If you only have one day on the weekend and want to go out to show off your equipment, walk your baby, and play in the water, then choose here. The mountain breeze is very cool, the water is refreshing, and the scenery is beautiful without filters, allowing you to briefly escape the hustle and bustle of the city, completely relax, and spend a weekend without being disturbed.
