    Overall its an interesting attraction to visit, but subject to weather conditions. The service staff attitude is meh (wonder if they dont know how to deal with international tourists and make you feel like you are weird) but you can ignore them and just enjoy the scenary

    This is a place worth visiting, suitable for a person to relax, girlfriends to meet, couples to date. In the morning, stroll by the beach to enjoy the sunrise, and enjoy the lonely auditorium at night. It is really lonely. In quiet times, children may prefer to play and play on the beach. A shot is a blockbuster. There are several canteens in the community, the dishes are rich in variety and the taste is very good. The most convenient thing for staying guests is that there is a hotel shuttle bus, which is very convenient and the gospel of lazy people.

    Well, I went to Qinhuangdao for a few days. Actually, there is nothing special about Siam Island. The scenery is mainly for the cable car that crosses the sea. I have never done this cable car before. I took my children to play around. If you go, I recommend getting up before 6:30 in the morning. There are too many people, especially during summer vacation.

    I was confused for a long time because I saw a lot of bad reviews, but often there are ten thousand Hamlets for ten thousand readers. I personally think it is worth it. First of all, I went there during the National Day holiday. The beach was quite cold at that time, so I didn't expect water sports, so the main purpose was to watch and dig sand. There are also many amusement facilities, free grass sliding, non-powered park, Ferris wheel, no queues at all, and the ticket price of more than 60 is absolutely cost-effective. The weather was good and the pictures taken were very beautiful.

    Zushan, historically also known as Linyushan, Chapanshan, Huangya, Zhushan, and Laoling, is located in Qinglong Manchu Autonomous County, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, on the northern shore of the Bohai Sea and the southern foothills of the Yanshan Mountains, covering an area of ​​approximately 118 square kilometers. The formation of Zushan can be divided into two periods. The first period, from the Jurassic to the end of the Cretaceous, involved the Yanshan crustal movement, accompanied by volcanic activity and magma intrusion, resulting in the formation of granite, which was still buried underground at the time. The second period was the Himalayan crustal movement, which uplifted the granite. Over a long period of weathering and erosion, it formed unique rock formations, cliffs, and caves; after the Quaternary glaciation, it formed stone seas and glacial potholes; and through the convergence of springs and the erosion of streams, it formed waterfalls and canyons.

    The park is large in size and the green trees and flowers are beautiful. Taking pictures and punching in is very good, suitable for dating, bringing a baby, and spending leisure time. No tickets are more like a public welfare garden. But the parking fee is too high, 8 yuan for 1 hour, and it took 12 yuan for more than an hour.
