Tangshan is not only the steel backbone but also the green charm of Nanhu, blending industrial heritage with mountain and sea romance

【3 days 2 nights, about 2700 RMB per person! Tangshan Guide: Phoenix Rebirth, Mountain and Sea Fireworks】 Day 1: Arrive at **Tangshan Station** by high-speed train (1-2 hours direct from Beijing/Tianjin/Qinhuangdao, round trip about 400 RMB), check in to a comfortable hotel in the city center (such as Wanda Realm, 380 RMB/night × 2 = 760 RMB). In the afternoon, visit 【Dazhao Park】 to pay tribute to pioneers, then check in at 【Tangshan Earthquake Memorial Hall】 (free) + 【Nanhu Central Urban Ecological Park】—a former coal mining subsidence area transformed into a 5A-level green lung, perfect for cycling to enjoy autumn scenery and photographing the light and shadow on the pier. Day 2: Explore 【Kailuan National Mine Park】 (ticket 80 RMB), go underground to experience miners' work and learn about the history of the "Cradle of Modern Chinese Industry." In the afternoon, visit 【Qixin 1889 Cement Museum】 (free), featuring a retro artistic style, with a café and graffiti walls great for photos. At dusk, head to 【Tangshan Bay International Tourism Island】 (1-hour drive, options include Yuetuo Island or Putuo Island, ticket + ferry about 120 RMB), watch the sunset over the sea, and stay in a characteristic wooden cabin (day trips are possible if budget is limited). Day 3: Visit 【Eastern Qing Tombs】 (World Cultural Heritage, ticket 90 RMB, 1.5 hours from the city), stroll along the main axis of Shunzhi Emperor’s filial tomb, with ancient towering pines and solemn stone statues. Before returning, taste authentic Jidong flavors: chess piece sesame cakes, lecha boxes, shrimp paste cabbage, and peanut sausage. 💰Budget breakdown: Transportation 500 (including taxis + short-distance buses) + Accommodation 760 + Meals 600 + Attractions about 290 + Miscellaneous 850 ≈ **2700 RMB** 📌Tips: - Nanhu music fountain opens on weekend evenings, check the schedule in advance; - Kailuan mine experience requires wearing a safety helmet, suitable for families; - It is recommended to hire a guide or rent an audio guide at Eastern Qing Tombs. ⚠️Warnings: ❌ “Black taxis” on the tourism island charge exorbitantly, carpooling or public transport is recommended; ❌ Specialty gift boxes sold by street vendors near the station are overpriced, supermarkets are more affordable. Three days and two nights to understand a city reborn. Tangshan is not only the steel backbone but also the green charm of Nanhu, industrial heritage, and mountain-sea romance. Come here to recall a century of industrial history, see the light of hope on the ruins, take a bite of piping hot sesame cake, and feel the resilience and warmth of the Phoenix City.
