    The resort boasts a prime location with convenient access. The scenery within the resort is beautiful, and the architecture is distinctive. After hiking, you can enjoy a distant view of the "Little Potala Palace" and also visit the Misty Rain Pavilion for photos.

    This was my second visit to Shanhaiguan, and the experience was definitely different! It's more beautiful than it was ten years ago, and there are many more interesting shops, especially one trendy shop that my child loved!

    Aranya Community is located in Dapuhe, Changli, now also known as Beidaihe New Area. It's easily accessible from Beijing by car, approximately 300 kilometers away. Visitors can also take the train to Changli Station and then take a bus or taxi to Aranya. If taking the high-speed rail, get off at Beidaihe Station. If traveling by train from East China to Northeast China, you need to get off at Qinhuangdao Station and then take a taxi or ride-hailing service to Aranya.

    It's definitely worth a visit. The park is very large, and once the lights are on, you can truly feel the prosperity of the "Tang Dynasty." There are many NPCs you can interact with to win silver tickets. The performance of the Tang Emperor's Eastern Expedition is very impressive. It was my first time visiting Tangshan, and I had a great experience. I'll definitely come back next time.

    As a frequent traveler, the only thing I recommend about Xianluo Island is the sea cable car. This suspended, non-enclosed gondola ride is incredibly thrilling, with the sea breeze caressing your face and the vast expanse of turquoise waters, making it well worth a try. However, Xianluo Island itself isn't worth exploring; it's a small area and the attractions are relatively old. The island's conch museum isn't particularly impressive, but there are plenty of parking lots nearby, making it relatively convenient.

    Longxing Temple was originally named Longzang Temple, and its name was changed to Longxing Temple during the Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of the Kaibao era of the Northern Song Dynasty (971 AD), a Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue was cast and the Great Compassion Pavilion was built by order of Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, forming the main architectural complex of the Song Dynasty. It was repaired during the Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and underwent large-scale reconstruction during the Kangxi and Qianlong eras of the Qing Dynasty, forming a three-section layout of east, central, and west. After falling into disrepair in modern times, it was restored to its original appearance through scientific preservation after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Longxing Temple is a typical example for studying the layout of Buddhist temple architecture, integrating Buddhist art with traditional Chinese culture. Emperors of past dynasties, such as Kangxi and Qianlong, once stayed there. We also visited Longxing Temple to experience the architectural styles of the Tang, Song, and Qing dynasties, to feel the Buddha's broad-mindedness, and to feel the traces of the past.

    If you're interested, you can buy a package ticket, and also a transportation package ticket, which includes pick-up and drop-off at each attraction, making it convenient and fast. Be sure to visit Hongji Bridge and the Prefectural Government Office, enjoy the local delicacies on the main street, and climb the ancient city wall from the south gate to the east gate.

    Perhaps because of the rain, there weren't many people. It's a small ancient town with almost no interactive activities. There were only a few shows, which weren't as good as the online reviews suggested. The food at the small shops was expensive and mediocre. More importantly, while it's a half-hour taxi ride there, it took ages to get back. I finally managed to get a shared ride, but they wouldn't even charge extra. Transportation is inconvenient. The 98 yuan entrance fee only covered the night view.

    Cultural sites leave us with historical imprints, and the gilded tiles of the Little Potala Palace are awe-inspiring, highlighting the weakness of a nation that can't even protect its own treasures! The tourism regulations regarding fire prevention at the Little Potala Palace are played on repeat, and the background music during the tour is a bit unbearable. I don't understand it, but I respect it!

    Aside from the crowds, there are no other problems. It has a classic and antique feel, and the shops inside are very bustling, with everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment. Some local specialties are worth buying. The overall planning of the scenic area is also good, with both a sense of traditional history and a modern atmosphere. It's worth a visit.
