Things to do in Yi County

There were so many people and tourists that I didn't have time to take in many things. It's like a low-end version of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many of the artifacts on display were discarded from the Forbidden City. Some rooms were off-limits, so people crowded around the entrances to take photos. There was no lighting inside, so the photos didn't look great. The architecture is still quite distinctive.

A trip to Donggang, Dalian, wouldn't be complete without experiencing Venice Water City! The entire area recreates European style, with over 200 castles scattered throughout, featuring Gothic spires, Baroque reliefs, and vintage clock towers paired with various arched bridges – every detail is meticulously crafted. Strolling along the canals, the beige walls adorned with exquisite carvings offer a picturesque view at every turn, as if you've stepped into a European town. The daytime atmosphere is refreshing and soothing, but as evening falls and the lights illuminate the buildings, their reflections shimmering on the water and canals, creating a captivating ambiance perfect for photos. A gondola ride is highly recommended – the soul of the water city! The long, elegant gondolas glide gently across the water, the gondoliers rowing with long poles, the boats slowly gliding beneath the stone bridges. Sitting on the boat, you can gaze at the buildings on both banks, admiring the castles and their reflections up close. A gentle breeze ripples the water, offering a completely different perspective than walking on the shore. Slowly immerse yourself in the romantic waterways, feeling the tranquility of a boat adrift in a painting. A gondola ride at dusk is the best way to experience this. We chose the Atour S Hotel next door for our stay, which was incredibly convenient, just walking distance from the water city. The stay was excellent; the room was clean and comfortable, and the service was attentive. It was convenient to explore the water city without having to travel back and forth; we could simply return to the hotel to rest after a long day. The area offers free admission, and the riverside walkways and plazas are perfect for strolling. It's suitable for couples or families. With its grand and elegant European-style architecture and the unique romantic atmosphere of gondola rides, this is a must-visit in Dalian's Donggang area – definitely worth a special trip!

If we're talking about the most famous attraction in Changli County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, it has to be the Aranya Community. Originally a real estate development project intended as a community, it has now transformed into a popular tourist destination. This is because the unique atmosphere created by the cultural heritage and neighborly relations within the Aranya Community makes both residents and visitors feel comfortable. Due to the success of the Aranya project, it's now undoubtedly Changli's must-visit spot for social media check-ins, and it's definitely worth a visit.

Liaoning Provincial Museum, the first museum established after the founding of the People's Republic of China, is a national first-class museum with a collection of nearly 120,000 items. It is a highly representative historical and cultural landmark of Shenyang. Detailed address: No. 157, Zhihui Third Street, Hunnan District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. No reservation is required; simply present your ID card for direct entry. It is a 150-meter walk from Exit D of the Provincial Museum Station on Metro Line 2. Vehicles can enter and park through the South Gate, while visitors enter and exit through the West Gate.

Nanyu is very suitable for big babies to play. They are tall enough to play many games, and small babies can play some non-powered games and watch performances. The beach is by the sea, and the cableway on the right hand side of the entrance is great. The scenery is great and cool. Except for the queue, it is good. There are restaurants on the beach, which is convenient for eating. There are even Shanghai aunties, and the taste is not bad. The only complaint is that after playing on the beach, you can take a shower. 20 yuan per time is fine, but there is no parent-child room. The father is not here, and the mother can't take the boy to take a bath. He can't change clothes because he is covered in sand. I hope there will be improvements!

星海公园绝对值得打卡！这里海景超赞，蓝天碧海相映成趣。游乐项目超丰富，海上蹦极超刺激，摩天轮能赏全景，还有海水浴场可戏水。不管亲子、情侣还是度假，都能玩得尽兴。

The highlight is the breathtaking panoramic painting gallery titled "The Capture of Jinzhou," which creates an immersive battlefield experience through a 122-meter circular painting and sound, light, and electricity special effects. It also offers a wealth of precious cultural relics and free guided tours, allowing visitors to deeply experience the history and revolutionary spirit of the Liaoshen Campaign. The memorial tower and weapons park outside the museum are also worth seeing [__LINK_ICON].

There are many travel photography places at the entrance, the prices are not expensive and you can choose. The scenery includes the Little Potala Palace, the Little Great Wall, and the Little Temple of Heaven. It is too far to take photos at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. This time you can take photos at a close distance.

The romantic ceiling of the Bohai Bay! Pigeon Nest Park offers breathtaking views at every turn, from the sunrise over the sea to birds soaring on the tidal flats and the sea-viewing corridor, blending nature and culture seamlessly. The environment is tranquil and comfortable, impeccably clean, and the service is attentive. Whether watching the sunrise or sunset, feeding pigeons, beachcombing, or simply taking a stroll, it's all incredibly pleasant, therapeutic, and wonderful. Highly recommended!

I rode a shared bike along Zhongjie Street in Shenyang to get to the Shenyang Imperial Palace. The street was really lively, but apparently, you can't park bikes along the way; you have to go around to a farther area to park. It seems that the city center commercial street isn't suitable for shared bikes. The next morning, I walked back to Zhongjie Street. There weren't many people on the street that morning. I saw Liu Laogen Grand Stage, but when I turned into the Imperial Palace, there was already a long queue waiting for it to open.
