Northeast Little Jiangnan, close to North Korea
🌟 Highlights:
The starting point of the northern end of China's coastline, and the only city in all of Asia that has a border port, airport, high-speed rail, river port, and seaport at the same time. This is Dandong.
❤ Recommended Reason:
Dandong can be considered an anomaly among the cities in the Northeast, with the title 'Northeast Suzhou-Hangzhou, Little Jiangnan outside the Pass', and is one of the most livable cities in the entire Northeast.
⏳ Best Time to Visit:
Autumn is the best time, in addition to the city's ginkgo trees, Tianqiao Gully is also a great place to enjoy the fall foliage, with mountains full of red maples. The villas at the entrance of the park, matched with the wild scenery, resemble a small town in Europe.
✅ Must Experience:
The park is very large, and right after entering the main gate, you can take a ferry car to the starting point of the plank road and the mountain top. There are also many plank roads to explore on foot.
🏨 Hotel Environment:
If you want to stay for another night, there is a large villa area right inside the entrance of Tianqiao Gully National Forest Park, where you can stay and even live by the lake. Dandong Tianqiao Gully Scenic Area Dandong Xin Andong Hotel is suitable.

Summer Resort Park, an unexpected beauty
Tianqiaogou Forest Park, truly a great place for the whole family to relax and holiday.
👍Highly recommended:
Once inside the park, I felt a coolness, especially the high content of negative oxygen ions, really giving a sense of oxygen inhalation, and suddenly found this is a great place for treating the sequelae of Yang Kang.
Take a deep breath, then exhale forcefully, repeating this process as if giving one's lungs a 'dialysis'. While walking, I gradually felt refreshed and invigorated.
❤Reasons to recommend:
The most amazing thing is that there are no mosquitoes here. Many people who are sensitive to mosquito bites in the summer are amazed when they come here. The park is next to the Tian Tan Reservoir, and it would be normal to have mosquitoes, but for some reason, there are none. The version I heard is that there are many plants on the mountain, including various medicinal herbs, making it difficult for mosquitoes to survive.
✅Must experience:
With no one ahead or behind, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the 'solitude' all by myself. Listening to the sound of the mountain springs in this quiet forest was especially healing. I couldn't resist taking a few photos. After taking them, I enjoyed my own company, which was also very pleasant.
🖼Environment:
It just rained a sunshower, I saw raindrops falling in the distance, but I felt nothing on the wooden walkway because the leaves were so dense that I wasn't drenched. Unexpectedly, as I walked further, the rain got heavier. I didn't bring an umbrella, only a straw hat, so I hurriedly took shelter in a pavilion, enjoying the view and listening to the rain.
Tianqiaogou Forest Park has a slogan, 'Holiday in the oxygen bar, rejuvenate in the ginseng forest', and it lives up to its name.
Come to Dandong Tianqiaogou Scenic Area, Tianqiaogou Forest Park for a summer retreat!
