Xigang Garden, a good place.
Xigang Garden in Qinhuangdao should be a well-developed place in recent years. The place is relatively large and has many elements, such as the sea, port, and railway. This combination is always attractive. The scenery is very good, and there are various gift shops, food shops, coffee shops, etc. You can choose to take a sightseeing car, which has several stops, or you can choose to walk slowly to search for more places to check in and play. The most important thing is that it is completely free here, so it is worth coming.

In Qinhuangdao | Student Budget Travel Edition
In Qinhuangdao | Student Budget Travel Edition
Here comes the four-day three-night guide to Qinhuangdao, without any detours, every place visited is worth it.
🏠 Stayed in Beidaihe District, Dabohuzhai Homestay Area
🚗 Did not take the bus, traveled by taxi, all the drivers encountered were very nice, the local customs are very simple.
1️⃣ Arrived at around 3 pm on the first day, went to Xigang Garden to watch the sunset, a very beautiful place with a bit of a Japanese-Korean feel, the buildings inside are also very nice, looking at the sea and taking photos, it felt like being abroad.
In the evening, went to Qinhuang Alley to eat, the prices were normal and not expensive, there was a big restaurant called Blushing Qin Tiantian, and some nice shops behind it. A very characteristic place, worth a visit.
2️⃣ Reserved a whole day for Aranya, it is really worth it!!! So beautiful, the sea in the evening is even more beautiful, the sea breeze is very comfortable, time should be wasted in such places. The whole community is like a world in a game, people would believe me if I said I was abroad. Many places to take photos, when I went there were not many people, but during May Day, it should take a long time to queue.
3️⃣ Laohushi, just a beach bathing area, many people, there is a Qin Tiantian near the entrance. Walking along the sea, the scenery is very good, there is a wedding photo base in the middle, it charges a fee, not worth it, nothing special to see. A little further ahead is Biluota Park, one internet-famous spot after another, all need to queue for a long time, since you're here, you might as well queue. There will be a wild party at night, the atmosphere is quite lively, the songs are very familiar, even Shang Chunshan was there, haha.
4️⃣ Zhoudun Manor, this place is free, beautiful, and suitable for taking photos, the big castle grape manor, am I in the UK! Qinhuangdao really has a lot to offer, very beautiful!
🧃 Strongly recommend Blushing Qin Tiantian's Yimu Zhatiantian!!! I fell in love with it immediately, sweet but not cloying, very refreshing and thirst-quenching.
🥙 In Qinhuang Alley, the mashed potato fried Menzi had a long queue, but I prefer Changchun fried noodles, this one is a bit dry and scratchy, the potato cake is delicious.
🍤 Fuzhong Xiaochu is delicious, not expensive, large portions, must try the boiled shrimp and flavored eggplant, the best eggplant I've ever had, no exaggeration.
🥟 Ye Cunli Seafood Big Dumplings, really big filling, had the three-fresh dumplings with a big shrimp inside, very fresh and delicious.
🍲 The hot pot chicken is also very delicious, sweet and spicy, the chicken is very tender.
So happy, Qinhuangdao is really great, beautiful scenery, nice people, lots of delicious food, will come again!

Qinhuangdao City, Haigang District, the west side of the intersection of Dongshan Street and Nanshan Street.
🚉Transportation strategy:
Self-driving is recommended, as there are multiple parking lots within the scenic area. Parking fee is 3 yuan for the first 2 hours.

💰Average cost per person:
Admission: Free admission, opening hours: 9:00-21:00,
⏳Recommended duration of visit:
2-3 hours should suffice.

① Laogang Road Pedestrian Street (Old Shipyard, South Warehouse) route: A leisurely stroll, photo opportunities, and dining are concentrated along this route, which leads to the seaside. There are many popular photo spots along the way, where you can enjoy the sea breeze and have a pleasant time.
② Jia Wharf route: This is a sightseeing route. During peak season, there are tour vehicles available. You can take photos of abandoned railways, trains, sailboats, and view the Bohai Sea introduction and graffiti wall. There are also gravity-defying facilities for children to play with. Now it's the off-season, so we just drove around for a look.
🗓Itinerary:
1. For those who are short on time, it is recommended to focus on route ① of Laogang Road, where there are more photo-worthy and fun places. You can park at either Parking Lot No. 1 or No. 6. Lot No. 6 is closer to the dining district, while No. 1 is near the Railway Flower Sea.
2. There are several photogenic spots along route ①:
The Railway Flower Sea, where roses bloom in May;
The seaside photo frame, which looks average but is great for silhouette shots; the seaside lighthouse, the beach is not open, so you can only take distant shots of the scenery;
Kai Bu Di 1898, which has a sense of history.
3. If time permits, go in the afternoon to experience the sunset🌇 by the sea. The scenery is beautiful and healing.
🍽Dining recommendations:
There is a dining district with not many restaurants, but it's better to enjoy some coffee. Yishanshu has an unbeatable atmosphere, and the coffee is good too. However, it's located on the outskirts, near Parking Lot No. 1 at the entrance of the scenic area.
🌟Highlights:
Kai Bu Di Post Office allows you to send postcards, which are quite worth it at around 5.8 yuan each.
Xigang No. 1 Store and the Imported Goods Exhibition and Experience Center are good for a little stroll. The items are reasonably priced, and the roses at the entrance are very popular. Located opposite Parking Lot No. 1 at the entrance of the scenic area, next to Yishanshu Coffee.
