July in Anshan is seriously underestimated, okay? 🍃 There are no tourist crowds like in Dalian, nor the sweltering heat of Shenyang. The mountain breeze carries the fragrance of grass and trees, and most importantly, prices are incredibly low. A three-day, two-night trip can be very comfortable for just 800 yuan per person. 🥟 Let's start with the food. Anshan people really know how to eat! Niuzhuang meat pie deserves a shout-out. It's a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage, and that's no exaggeration. The crust is so thin it's translucent, and one bite and the beef juice bursts out. Even just sitting outside the shop with a bowl of millet porridge is delicious. The old-established restaurant in Haicheng is so filling you'll be stuffed for just 20 yuan per person. Xiuyan mutton soup is also a lifesaver in the sweltering heat. The milky white broth isn't gamey at all. Soak a flatbread in the soup, and I can easily eat two bowls by myself. Back in Tiedong city, I had a bowl of Lao Siji pulled noodles. Chicken broth with a spoonful of chili oil—a local breakfast staple—costs 15 yuan per person. For a main meal, I recommend the Anshan version of Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork). The old-style version has a higher proportion of vinegar and sugar, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior. In the evening, we headed straight to the barbecue stalls. Anshan barbecue is known for its generous portions of meat; grilled lamb trotters with an iced drink were the perfect summer night treat. The Nanguo pears weren't fully ripe yet, so we picked out a couple of unripe ones to take home and let them soften. They have a subtle, wine-like aroma; the title "Queen of Pears" isn't just marketing hype. 🏨 For accommodation, I chose a place near Tiedong Railway Station this time, as it had the lowest chance of being a disappointment. If you want convenient access to shopping and dining in the city center, search for the area around the station/Victory Square on Ctrip. Budget options like the Aikesi start at 139 yuan, while Lifeng and Haotai are just over 200 yuan. The Victory Road night market is right downstairs, with grilled cold noodles and fried chicken racks just downstairs. If your budget allows, head straight for the Anshan Hilton Garden Inn; it's around 300 yuan a night, with new rooms, free parking, and a 10-minute taxi ride from the high-speed rail station. For a relaxing vacation feel, stay at the foot of Qianshan Mountain, like at Zhuoyue Qingshui Bay, which offers private hot springs starting at 470 yuan. After hiking, a soak in the hot spring water amidst the cicadas chirping in the valley is surprisingly comfortable in summer—not too hot, and the night breeze is just right. Remember to check reviews on Ctrip before booking, as rooms in the Qianshan area sell out quickly on weekends in July. ⛰️ Don't try to see too many attractions; three are enough. Qianshan Mountain is definitely the main attraction; it's called the "Pearl of Northeast China" for a reason. The "Thousand Peaks, Thousand Scenery" route goes through Wuliang Temple—Jiabianshi—Tianshangtian—Wufoding, taking about four to five hours in total. Tickets are 80 yuan for adults and 39.9 yuan for the evening session on Ctrip. I highly recommend starting the hike at 6:30 am. In July, Anshan can reach over 30 degrees Celsius at noon, so finishing early and going down for lunch is the most comfortable. The cable car costs 40 yuan one way, saving you a lot of energy. Make sure your shoes are non-slip; you'll have to squeeze sideways through the section with the flat stones, and a heavy backpack will get stuck! 😂 The Jade Buddha Garden is in the city center. A 30 yuan ticket lets you see the world's largest Xiuyan jade Buddha, carved from a single piece of jade weighing over 260 tons. The red walls and warm jade color make for great photos. Afterwards, you can visit 219 Park and sit by Laodong Lake for a while—it's free and a popular spot for locals to stroll. If you want to play in the water, head to Yutangquan Water World. The indoor temperature is constant, so you don't have to worry about getting sunburned. Evening admission is 98 yuan. If you're obsessed with hot springs, go to Tanggangzi—the Tang Dynasty royal hot spring. After applying the hot mud, your skin will feel incredibly smooth. ☔ A few tips, based on my own experience: In July, Anshan's daytime temperatures are around 30 degrees Celsius, and the nighttime temperatures are around 22-23 degrees Celsius, which is quite cool. However, it rains a lot; for the past three years, rainy days have accounted for about half of July's days. A folded raincoat is more practical than an umbrella. On the Qianshan mountain roads, drive slowly in rainy or foggy weather. Sunscreen SPF50 or higher is essential. There's no shade on the mountain, and I was lazy and didn't reapply it on the first day, resulting in a bright red rash on the back of my neck. Qianshan Mountain tickets are valid for two days. Remember to register upon entry; you can save on a ticket if you want to take more photos of the morning mist the next day. Buy unripe Nanguo pears! Buy unripe ones! They soften and become sweeter after a couple of days. The yellowish ones near the scenic area entrance don't last long. By the way, the Anshan Iron and Steel Museum is free. It's a converted red-brick factory building, and the industrial style is perfect for taking great photos. It's worth a visit if you're passing by. Take it easy with your itinerary. Anshan isn't a place for special forces; it's perfect for leisurely enjoying pastries, soaking in hot springs, and daydreaming at the foot of the mountain—this is what summer in a small town should be like! ✨

On June 27, 2026, artist Zhu Xinyu's solo exhibition "World" will open at Bernian Art Space in Beijing 798 Art District. · The exhibition features nearly 20 new oil paintings on canvas, all newly created by Zhu Xinyu around daily spaces, viewing experiences, and the essence of painting. · These works continue his creative thread that starts from subtle everyday elements such as studios, roads, window views, and plants. By segmenting, layering, and reconstructing real spaces, they present a visual state between perception, memory, and construction. · Zhu Xinyu was born in 1980 in Haicheng, Liaoning, and graduated from Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts. His upbringing is closely tied to the Northeast industrial region. His early works often convey a sense of desolation and emptiness. This exhibition focuses more on the painterly exploration of everyday microscopic perspectives. Exhibition address: Bernian Art Space, Beijing 798 Art District Exhibition period: June 27–July 25, 2026

Haicheng Shanxi Guildhall: a temple, half the history of Shanxi merchants In the old city of Haicheng, deep within an unremarkable alley in the west gate area, lies a group of ancient buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles. The main gate is modest, but the pair of stone lions in front already exude an extraordinary presence. Above the gate hangs a plaque with the four characters "Shanxi Guildhall," though locals more commonly call it the Guan Di Temple. This building has a unique history. According to local records, it was originally built in the 21st year of the Kangxi reign in the Qing dynasty (1682) as a Guan Di Temple. Two hundred years later, in the 11th year of the Tongzhi reign (1872), Shanxi merchants doing business in Haicheng collectively funded a major renovation, transforming it into the Shanxi Guildhall. Guan Yu was from Shanxi and was widely respected for his loyalty and righteousness—worshiping Guan Gong in the guildhall served as both a spiritual anchor and a bond uniting fellow townsmen. Pushing open the slightly ajar wooden door reveals the building’s refined details. The entire complex faces south, stretching over 80 meters from north to south and nearly 40 meters from east to west, covering about 3,200 square meters. Along the central axis are the mountain gate, Guan Di hall, and rear hall, with symmetrical bell and drum towers and east and west side halls on both sides. The mountain gate is a three-bay, single-eave xieshan-style building. The brick carvings of clouds, dragons, and peonies on the main ridge are quite exquisite. On the walls flanking the gate are two large characters—“loyalty” and “righteousness.” These simple yet powerful words act like keys, unlocking the theme of the entire courtyard. Passing through the mountain gate, the bell and drum towers stand on the left and right. The bell hangs in the east tower, the drum in the west, both built in the single-eave xieshan style. Looking up from beneath the bell tower, the bronze bell shows its age with a darkened sheen. The main hall is the heart of the complex. A plaque reading “Guan Di hall” hangs high above, and the hall sits on a raised stone platform. Its design is somewhat special—a three-bay, suspended gable roof building with a front open bay and a rear extended section. From the side, it looks like two buildings of different heights joined together. This combination of an open bay and extended section is rare among Guan Di temples. The wood carvings inside are especially worth examining. Between the pillars and horizontal beams are carved dragon and phoenix cloud panels. The eaves feature layered dougong brackets with cloud patterns carved on the projecting ends. Though a northern-style building, it reveals the delicate craftsmanship of Shanxi artisans. On both sides of the main hall are five rooms in the east and west side halls, each with a hard mountain-style roof and clean, sharp lines. The rear courtyard has a five-bay rear hall with a front corridor. The beams and rafters are inlaid with swallowtail wood carvings. The side halls and rear hall are under renovation with scaffolding, but this does not obstruct viewing the overall layout. The most eye-catching feature in the courtyard is the pair of stone horses. Carved in the 11th year of the Tongzhi reign (1872), they were made during the same renovation and renaming of the Guan Di Temple. The horses are vigorous and realistic, with smooth lines combining the boldness of northern stone carving and the finesse of Shanxi craftsmanship. Guan Yu, known as the “martial saint,” was often accompanied by a fine horse; for Shanxi merchants venturing to Liaoning and the northeast, the horses symbolized their hopes for success and a bright future. On the west side of the courtyard is a stele forest, displaying ancient steles collected from across Haicheng. The oldest dates back to the 60th year of the Kangxi reign, with others from the Jiaqing and Guangxu periods. The inscriptions vary from clear to faded. Running your fingers lightly over the stone surfaces, you can feel the depth of the carvings—each one recording over a hundred years of repairs and history, etched stroke by stroke into the stone. Leaving the guildhall as dusk approaches, looking back at the blue-gray rooftops, you realize the building has changed its name three times in over a hundred years—Guan Di Temple, Shanxi Guildhall, and back to Guan Di Temple. But no matter the name, the stone carvings, woodwork, inscriptions, and the pair of stone horses and lions still stand in place. A group of merchants from afar used this temple to settle both their homesickness and their business. Now the temple remains, but the people have long since gone far away.

Cuoshi Mountain Park: a stone history book hidden in the city center Deep within the streets of Haicheng’s urban area, a small hill less than 50 meters high rests quietly among the buildings. Though not tall, it stands out because of the large reddish-brown stones covering it. Locals call it Cuoshi Mountain. In ancient language, "cuo" means whetstone. Looking closely, the stones do seem deliberately arranged—some round, some square, with wild grass and moss sprouting from the cracks, like a stone book opened but unreadable. In the 32nd year of the Guangxu reign in the Qing dynasty (1906), county magistrate Guan Fenghe raised 6,000 taels of silver to create a park on this hill. A city with a mountain, and a mountain with a park—this is quite a rare sight in a plain city. Passing through the park gate, the first thing to catch your eye is the glazed screen wall. Over 4 meters tall and 6 meters wide, it is made entirely of glazed bricks originally fired by the imperial kiln for the Qing palace. The wall is carved with auspicious patterns like cranes and deer sharing spring and a qilin gazing at the sun. Despite nearly 200 years of weathering, the colors remain vivid. On the left side of the screen wall is an inscription marking the 21st year of the Daoguang reign. Walking up the mountain path, the giant stones on both sides of the steps become more numerous. Some stones protrude halfway from the soil—some resemble resting cattle, some look like chessboards, and some are simply flat stone walls. Faint pits and carvings on the walls are marks left by ancient ancestors. Continuing upward, the red walls of Bao’an Temple peek through the trees. The temple gate is small, with stone lions crouching on either side, and the courtyard is clean and tidy. Further up, Kuixing Tower appears at the summit. Made of blue bricks and green tiles, it is a three-story octagonal building. Climbing it offers a panoramic view of the entire Haicheng. Near Kuixing Tower, a large stone by the roadside is engraved with the five characters “Sanjiang Yuehucheng.” Midway up the mountain is a hexagonal stone pavilion with a couplet carved on its pillars—this is the Qu Si Pavilion. The words “Qu Si” come from the Book of Han, meaning “to be missed after leaving.” On the other side of the mountain stands the Xi Zi Pagoda, a six-sided, two-tiered structure built of blue bricks, over 7 meters tall. In ancient times, paper with writing was considered sacred, so pagodas were built specifically for burning it. Coming down the mountain as dusk approached, I looked back at the small hill—the glazed screen wall still glowing green, the flying eaves of Kuixing Tower catching the last light of day. It quietly sits in the city center, using its stones, steles, and brick pagodas to layer time upon time. The hill may be low, but its stories run deep.

Known as Anshan locals’ hidden natural oxygen bar, it combines the beauty of Huangshan with the daring cliffs of Huashan — a story of Haicheng’s Baiyun Mountain Before coming to Anshan, a friend told me that if I wanted to see truly unique peaks and strange rocks, I shouldn’t just visit Qianshan. I had to take a walk at Haicheng’s Baiyun Mountain. So I picked a clear weekend, set off from downtown Anshan, and headed south along the Danhai Expressway. Baiyun Mountain is located in Gushan Town, southeast of Haicheng City, about 40 km from downtown Haicheng. Covering an area of about 23 square kilometers, it has 450 peaks of various sizes. The main peak, Tangmao Mountain, stands at 876.3 meters. It is a provincial forest park and a national AAA scenic area, with over 90% forest coverage, earning it the reputation as Anshan locals’ hidden natural oxygen bar. ⛰️ must-see highlights The unique peaks and strange rocks are the biggest attractions. Baiyun Mountain is part of the Changbai Mountain range, mainly composed of wind-eroded granite. It is famous for its high mountains, unusual rocks, twisted pines, and secluded caves. Some visitors say it’s a “condensed version of Huangshan plus a mini Huashan,” with towering, jagged rocks that look impressive in any photo. Baiyun Cave sits atop the first high peak after entering the mountain. It’s a naturally formed stone cave, said to have been a place where a Taoist priest once practiced. Sifangding is a must-climb spot, where danger and fun coexist. From the summit, you get a wide, breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. The mountain is also home to Taoist sites like Sanqing Temple and Baiyun Palace, with red walls and green tiles nestled among the trees, exuding an ancient charm. Xianren Cave is a Neolithic human site and a nationally protected cultural relic. 🌿 scenic all year round In spring, flowers bloom in full color. Summer offers cool shade. Autumn paints the forest in rich hues. Winter covers the mountain in a silver blanket. More than 30 streams and small ravines wind through the mountain, creating a rich water system. 🚗 practical information · Address: Songtuo Village, Gushan Town, Haicheng City, Anshan · Tickets: Information varies across platforms; some show free admission, others about 40 yuan. It’s best to check and confirm on OTA platforms before you go · Hours: Open year-round from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM · Transportation: Driving is highly recommended. Take the Danhai Expressway and exit at Gushan Station, then drive 10 km south to reach the mountain. You can also take a long-distance bus from Anshan to Xiuyan and get off at Haicheng Gushan · Suggested visit duration: 4–5 hours · Tips: Wear non-slip sports shoes as some sections are steep. Supplies are limited on the mountain, so bring your own water and snacks By the time I left Baiyun Mountain, it was already afternoon. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. There were no crowds, no commercial noise—just endless greenery and cool breezes. If you plan to visit Anshan, be sure to set aside a day for Baiyun Mountain—walk among the unique peaks and strange rocks, breathe in the fresh air of this natural oxygen bar, and leave the city’s noise behind the mountain gate.

In autumn, I went to a pottery workshop to learn how to make pottery. The clay was on a potter's wheel; my hands were wet as I guided the clay, and as the wheel spun, I slowly shaped it. At first, it was always crooked or collapsed. The master craftsman corrected me step by step, and slowly I was able to make a clumsy yet adorable cup. After shaping it, I let it air dry, glazed it, and finally fired it in the kiln. A few days later, I could receive my finished product. Taking it home and using it to drink water reminded me of the time I made the pottery—the itchy feeling of my hands covered in wet clay, and the buzzing sound of the potter's wheel. Even if it wasn't perfect, it was a unique souvenir. This joy of creating with my own hands is incomparable to buying souvenirs. #NewYearDestinations2026 #travel2026

Cuoshi Mountain Park The first photo starts with Cuoshi "Mountain," the glazed tile screen wall (Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty), Kuixing Tower, an old monkey statue, the Xizi Pagoda (where local officials and scholars used to destroy official documents and calligraphy), Jing'an Shrine, and the Eight-Treasure Glazed Well in Longhua Pond—Blessings Without Limit, Bao'an Temple, the peonies and Buddha's hand citron in Bao'an Temple, Sanjiang Yuehu, and the Poetry Wall. The Laisi Pavilion was under maintenance and not photographed. Cuoshi [cuò] Mountain Park is located in Haicheng City, Liaoning Province, also known as Haicheng Park. It has a history of nearly a hundred years, dating back to the 32nd year of the Qing Dynasty. Haicheng County Magistrate Guan Fenghe raised 6,000 taels of silver to build it to enrich the cultural life of Haicheng people. Although the park covers nearly 30,000 square meters and seems a bit small, "a mountain is famous not for its height but for its immortals; water is spiritual not for its depth but for its dragons." On Cuoshi Mountain, which is only 49.9 meters above sea level, there truly are immortals and dragons, full of spiritual energy.

I recently stayed at the Qiji Hotel, conveniently located right next to the Development Zone Experimental School in Haicheng, Liaoning Province.

The bed is fitted with a perfectly firm latex mattress for a great night's sleep, and the linens are impeccably clean.

You can start your day off right with a hearty buffet breakfast featuring a wide variety of Chinese and Western dishes. Its close proximity to the Haicheng River and nearby parks also makes it a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll. While it can get a bit crowded on weekends since it's a popular wedding venue, the exceptional service quality and great value make it the top choice for business trips or vacations. Overall, it was a highly satisfying experience, and I would definitely love to stay here again on my next visit to Haicheng.

Apart from the heavy traffic nearby, there are no downsides. The traffic in Los Angeles is notoriously bad. The market is very beautiful and enjoyable to visit. Next door, there's a farmer's market where you can try various snacks, which is quite interesting. The place is extremely crowded, so be cautious, especially with children. The crowd is comparable to the Lantern Festival at the City God Temple in Shanghai during the Spring Festival. It's quite similar, really. It's a traditional festival where you can see lights in a shopping district, with a small lake and winding bridges, surrounded by stalls selling souvenirs and snacks. #ChristmasIsMoreThanOneNightOfRomance #Christmas #ChristmasTree #VisitChristmasMarket #LightUpChristmasTree #ChristmasTreeLighting #LosAngelesChristmas #LosAngelesAttractions
