Introduction to Qingdao

Qingdao is an important economic center city and an open coastal city in China. It is a national historical and cultural city and a scenic tourism and holiday resort.

The climate is mild and belongs to the temperate monsoon climate, with an average annual temperature of 12.2 degrees.

When people mention Qingdao, they will think of it as a bustling modern city and a world-famous summer resort. When you set foot on the land of Qingdao, you will be dazzled by all kinds of villas: pointed, round, high, low, stone... all built along the mountains and roads. Shady green trees are planted along the roadside, and there are buildings with red tiles and pink walls. The red and green contrast with each other, creating a unique scenery.

The most fascinating thing when you come to Qingdao is the sea. It surrounds Qingdao from three sides, especially the area called "Qianhaiyan" by the locals, the scenery is even more beautiful. The trestle is like a buffalo, stretching its neck into the sea far away. The "Huilan Pavilion" at the head of the bridge is a pavilion-style two-story pavilion. Boarding the Huilan Pavilion is like boarding a giant ship. The waves are rolling, just like sailing in the ocean. On the footbridge, it looks like it is on the water from a distance. Not far from the trestle to the east is the first bathing beach. This place is endowed with a deep bay, gentle slopes, clear water and fine sand. It is currently the largest bathing beach in the country. Standing next to the bathing beach, there is Lu Xun Park to the north and Badaguan to the south. Lu Xun Park, built along the coast along the mountains, has undulating steps and winding roads, and the pavilions in the garden are even more elegant. There is also the "Qingdao Aquarium", where various aquatic animals are available for viewing. It is a must-visit place for those who go to Qingdao. The coastline along Badaguan is extremely irregular. Along the way, there are towering cliffs, vast beaches, etc. The scenery is varied and breathtaking.

Laoshan, the third highest mountain in Shandong, stands on the outskirts of Qingdao. Many myths and legends have been dispersed in the mist in the mountains for thousands of years and have been passed down to this day. Mount Laoshan is located in a corner of the Yellow Sea, making it difficult to set foot in. Moreover, it faces the sea on both sides in the southeast. The mountains and seas intersect with each other, and the scenery is endless. Naturally, it adds a sense of mystery to people. It has become a place longed for by famous Buddhists and Taoists in the past. Even Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han once visited it. Laoshan Mountain is regarded as the "House of Immortals Cave". Today's Laoshan Mountain is still full of ancient temples and temples, and stone steps and waterfalls hang all over the mountain, which is fascinating.

As a tourist city, Qingdao has Neolithic sites such as Sanli River, famous monuments such as the Great Wall of Qi, Tianheng Island, Langye Terrace, and Zhushan Grottoes; the dangerous peaks and rocks of Mount Laoshan and the coastal scenery of the city It has also formed countless scenic spots; there are magical caves such as Narayan Cave and Baiyun Cave. There are famous springs and clear streams such as Taiyi, Shenshui and Jinye. Ancient celebrities such as Zheng Xuan, Qiu Changchun, Zhang Sanfeng, Li Bai, Gu Yanwu, Pu Songling, Gao Fenghan, Kang Youwei, etc. have left their footprints all over the country, leaving behind beautiful poems and prose. In midsummer, the number of bathers in various bathing beaches often reaches hundreds of thousands a day. New hotels are rising from the ground. The former official residence of the German admiral and Prince Gong's Mansion have also been opened to the public.

The beautiful and fertile Qingdao attracted celebrities to gather and write poems and essays. Comrade Chen Yi also wrote in the poem: "Try to see the blue sea and sky, its green shines on the streets. Try to see the green pines and cypresses, its green dyes the mountains and mountains." "The entire Qingdao is surrounded by mountains and seas. The beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, and urban area built on the mountains make the urban architecture unique: blue sea and sky, red walls and green trees interweave to form a beautiful harbor style; fine waves, Barges and beaches form a moving island scenery. People often say: "Taishan is about mountains, Qufu is about ancient times, Hangzhou is about scenery, and Qingdao is a combination of all three." This is the perfect combination of Qingdao's beauty and genius.

Introduction to Qinhuangdao

Qinhuangdao

Qinhuangdao is a tourist city with beautiful and colorful scenery. Whether it is natural scenery or cultural landscape, they are all wonderful and moving.

Especially rare are the mountains and the sea. The natural scenery and the cultural landscape blend into each other and complement each other.

Qinhuangdao is located in the northeast of Hebei Province, bordering Yanshan Mountain to the north, Bohai Sea to the south, and Beijing and Tianjin to the west. Qinhuangdao was called "Jieshi" in ancient times, with a total area of ??more than 75,000 square kilometers. It has a population of 2.6 million and governs three districts, three counties and one autonomous county. Qinhuangdao has a pleasant climate, belonging to the temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate. The average annual temperature is around 10 degrees. Warm and comfortable.

Qinhuangdao is characterized by its beautiful natural scenery and excellent cultural landscape. The natural scenery is especially famous for its mountains and seas. The territory is vast and mountainous, with numerous peaks, some of which are clusters of peaks, or one of which stands alone, with various shapes and interesting features. Dangerous peaks and green valleys. Strange rocks, strange streams, waterfalls and flying springs can be seen everywhere, the ever-changing old mountains and sea of ??clouds, the Xiangshan Mountain where you can hear the sound of orchestral music on windy days, the "there are holes in the caves, and there are holes on the caves" and the Xuanyang Ancient Cave made of nature... ..all are wonderful landscapes in the mountains. The vast sea area and long coastline are the main charms of Qinhuangdao. Sometimes the blue sea is a vast expanse of blue, and the sea is as flat as a mirror; sometimes the waves rise and fall, and the tide rises and falls, which can be said to be unpredictable. Up to 126. The 4-kilometer coast has cliffs and rocks of different shapes, golden beaches that stretch for dozens of miles, dense green jungles, and the blue sea, forming a wonderful natural picture. Qinhuangdao not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also has extremely rich cultural landscapes. The Great Wall, Qin Dynasty palace ruins, Meng Jiangnu Temple, Tianma Mountain cliff carvings, Baofeng Temple, Qinghe Pagoda Temple, Hanwen Gongfu, Lulong Stone Building and many other historical relics form Qinhuangdao's unique cultural landscape. The successive completion of cultural landscapes such as Journey to the West Palace, Around the World Palace, Nandaihe Amusement City, Wanbo Cultural City, Beidaihe Film and Television City, and Warring States Customs have added novel and fascinating tourism content to tourists.

The second main feature of Qinhuangdao’s tourist landscape lies in its wonder. The ocean desert scenery of the Gold Coast, the mysterious mirage, the magnificent Great Wall building in Shanhaiguan and the huge Qin Dynasty palace ruins are known as the four wonders of Qinhuangdao. Along the Changli Gold Coast, there are winding and undulating "crescent-shaped" sand dunes. The dunes intersect steeply and gently, forming a rare dune chain that stretches for dozens of miles. The highest dunes can reach 40 meters. These sand dunes have unique shapes, like long dancing dragons, and the scenery is extremely majestic and spectacular, forming a unique ocean desert scenery. Mirage is another wonderful sight in the coastal area of ??Qinhuangdao. As early as more than 400 years ago, Xie Pengnan, a magistrate of Funing County in the Ming Dynasty, made a detailed record of the mirage scene that appeared on the sea surface of Jinshanzui in "Lianfeng Mountains and Seas". Zhai Peng, a native of Funing who served as minister of the Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Pu, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, both saw the sea market and left behind a poem of the same name, "Hai Shi with Lotus Peng". The Shanhaiguan Great Wall is built between the mountains and the sea. It is large in scale and majestic. It can be said to be the essence of the Great Wall. The most amazing thing about Shanhaiguan is that it is the only Great Wall on the sea in the world. The place where the Great Wall enters the sea - Laolongtou, has become the most attractive Great Wall landscape. Qinhuangdao is an ancient stone area. Qin Shihuang once visited here on his eastward tour and carved the "Xieshimen Ci" to commemorate his achievements. Qinhuangdao also got its name. The discovery and excavation of the magnificent palace ruins of the Qin Dynasty in 1984 provided solid evidence for this. Therefore, the architectural ruins of the palaces of the Qin Dynasty have become a unique cultural landscape that attracts the world's attention, and has greatly increased the popularity of Qinhuangdao.

The third main feature of Qinhuangdao’s tourist landscape lies in the blending of mountains and sea, and the blending of natural scenery and cultural landscape. Lianfeng Mountain is close to the coast and complements the sea. The two are cleverly combined. The blue sea and green mountains, plus white waves, golden sand, green trees and red walls, form the harmonious beauty of Beidaihe's scenery. If the beauty of Shanhaiguan is reflected in the Great Wall and its majesty, mainly in the architectural beauty of the Shanhaiguan Great Wall building complex, then the majestic steepness of Jiaoshan Mountain sets off the majesty of the Great Wall, and the majestic majesty of the sea further sets off the grandeur of the Great Wall. The Great Wall, Xiongguan, mountains, and the sea blend into each other and form a perfect unity of natural beauty and artistic beauty.

Coupled with the anecdotes of celebrities such as Xu Da, Qi Jiguang, Sun Chengzong, and Xiao Xian, as well as the traces of emperors such as Kangxi, Qianlong, and Daoguang, visitors can truly appreciate the beauty of the Great Wall landscape. For another example, Tianma Mountain is named because its peak resembles a galloping horse in the clouds. Therefore, the masses associate Qi Jiguang's achievements in guarding the border and fighting against Japanese pirates with the legend of Tianma, which highlights the theme of "Heroes are invincible, and people miss heroes." The cliff carvings on the cliffs of Tianma Mountain, the interesting mountain topography, the temple characters with painted beams and carved columns, and the reflection of Tianma Lake at the foot of the mountain, make the lake, mountain scenery, historical sites and myths and legends complement each other, making tourists linger.
