Lianyungang Three Days and Two Nights Travel Guide

Lianyungang Three Days and Two Nights Travel Guide We took the train at midnight on Thursday night and arrived at Lianyungang East Station before nine the next day. The hotel we booked was just across the street, and I thought it was pretty good with floor-to-ceiling windows. In the afternoon, we first went to Zaihaiyifang, then took the You3 bus to Lian Island. We bought a two-day student ticket. The weather wasn't particularly good on Friday afternoon, so we played for a while and took the last bus before six to Xugou Food City for dinner. This place is full of seafood processing shops, where you need to buy seafood from the market at the back and bring it to the shop for processing. The two of us bought three items: two pounds of clams at five yuan per pound, six oysters at three yuan each, and an octopus weighing about two pounds for 60 yuan. Processing each item cost 20 yuan, totaling 62 yuan. We also bought cold noodles and chicken chops, but the cold noodles were sweet, which we weren't used to. Overall, it's suitable for group dining. We originally planned to go to Lian Island to see the sea at midnight, but we didn't get up. We went to Lian Island again at noon the next day. The weather was great on Children's Day, the sea was very blue, and there were many people. We took many beautiful photos on the pier. The sand on Lian Island is relatively coarse, and the shells we dug up were not very big compared to other places. The sand under Zaihaiyifang is black, making it suitable for catching crabs in the morning, and it's free. Lian Island closes at six, so pay attention to the time. The least recommended place is Huaguo Mountain❌‼️. We went to Huaguo Mountain in the afternoon, taking the You6 bus or some other bus directly to Huaguo Mountain, which took a long time. We arrived there and had lunch at three o'clock. Don't go to the small restaurants at the entrance‼️. They are expensive and not clean; we found steel wool in our food, and the shelves selling water were dusty. The environment was also poor, but we didn't complain much because we were in a hurry. You can eat at the Dicos at the ticket office, which also has Ruyi wontons. We bought student tickets for Huaguo Mountain for 45 yuan. You also need to buy a sightseeing bus ticket to reach the top; otherwise, you won't get there even by nightfall. The full ticket costs 50 yuan per person, and the boarding and alighting points are different. The sightseeing bus at the entrance goes directly to Yunu Peak at the top, taking about 20 minutes. The scenery on the mountain is quite good. The main attractions of Huaguo Mountain are the monkeys and the Water Curtain Cave. However, the Water Curtain Cave was quite ordinary to me. Inside the cave, someone will call you to take free photos, but you still have to pay for them when you leave. Monkeys often appear near the Seventy-two Caves, so it's advisable to keep your belongings well hidden to avoid them snatching your food. My drink was taken this way. ✅ It's recommended to travel in groups; monkeys only target children and women, not adult men. Finally, we took the bus down the mountain from Sanyuan Cave. In the evening, we went to Yanhe Alley. It was very lively with many snacks, and the prices were not too high. I bought a few pairs of earrings at a stall with my friends. I also bought some clothes and managed to bargain a bit; my shirt cost 65 yuan, which felt like a good deal. On the last day, we booked an afternoon high-speed train. Before leaving, we went to Zaihaiyifang again, left our luggage at the milk tea shop across the street, picked up some shells, and bought some crafts to take back as gifts for friends. Overall, Lianyungang is quite nice✅, suitable for a weekend trip to relax. The BRT is very convenient for getting around, and we spent less than 20 yuan on transportation this time.
