Xingcheng travel guide (latest 20 10-8)?
-Xingcheng Travel Guide
Xingcheng is a very desirable place, mainly for three reasons: First, it is close to Beijing, about 378 kilometers, and it only takes more than 2 hours by train with D prefix; Second, the sea is pure. After all, unlike Beidaihe, people are afraid of famous pigs and strong ones. There are many people going there, and the pollution is serious. Not many people know and understand Xingcheng, and they are basically like young ladies. Third, Xingcheng Island is so beautiful. Juhua Island, about 20 kilometers away from Xingcheng, is said to be about the same size as Macau, with clear water and delicate beaches, and is worth visiting.
As the saying goes, "hearing is false, seeing is true." After reading countless online posts and strategies, I was dazzled and finally decided to go and have a look by myself. Below, I will talk about what I saw and heard during my five days in Xingcheng in detail, hoping to bring some help to my brothers and sisters who want to go to Xingcheng. Due to the limited time, this paper mainly evaluates from four aspects: "play, eat, live and travel", striving to be objective and fair without too much personal feelings.
I. Xingcheng City
The 2589 train we took left Beijing at 1 1: 36 in the morning and arrived in Xingcheng at 19: 10 in the evening. I was half an hour late and walked for more than seven hours. I was in a hurry after getting off the bus. I didn't know if there were any rooms in Guang Lai Hotel, so I took a taxi to the hotel. It's only 65,438 yuan from the railway station to Guang Lai Hotel, which is much cheaper than Beijing. When I arrived at Guang Lai Hotel, I realized that my worry was not unnecessary. I was told that the room I booked by phone yesterday had been seized. In addition to being angry, there is some helplessness, and the three of us don't know what to do. Contact "Water Conservancy Hotel" immediately, there is no room. I was very depressed and angry with the waiter in Guang Lai Hotel. Just then, the hotel owner arranged for the staff (probably his son) to drive us to the "Labor Bureau Hotel" in a Honda car to see if there were any rooms. Fortunately, there is a standard room, 100 yuan. The first impression of Xingcheng people changed from bad to good. It was really simple, enthusiastic and responsible.
After everything is arranged, it's already 20 o'clock, and I'm hungry. I asked the receptionist about the local specialties. The young man's name is Xiao Guo (0429-516811). He is 20 years old, enthusiastic and a little shy. It is said that there are two "spring cake shops" that turn right when going out. He hurried along the direction of his finger and came to a shop, where he saw that the decoration was poor and the hygiene was general. Think about a small county, and don't be too embarrassed. Compared with your hometown, it is not bad. So three people went into the restaurant and found a so-called private room to sit down. The bartender came over and introduced that there were "spring cakes with shredded pork in Beijing sauce, rolled mung bean sprouts and rolled bacon", so he asked for one for each person. It turns out that the local people say spring cakes are similar to Beijing roast duck, but the area is larger and the price is more affordable. After the food was served, the three of them ate it with great gusto. It's really delicious, very delicious. Finally, the bartender recommended a tofu soup, which is even more delicious, that is, adding the warm tofu in the sea to the local old tofu and cooking it together. It is delicious and beautiful, and words cannot describe it. Final settlement, 87 yuan, is really cheap and affordable.
Considering going out for a long trip to Chrysanthemum Island the next day, I decided to go to bed early and get up early and have nothing to say all night. The next day, at dawn, I went to the street to find breakfast. Go right for about 100 meters, and you will see a restaurant called "Shuaifu Soymilk" across the street, with a large storefront and breakfast. There were quite a few people when I entered the room. I ordered three fried dough sticks and three bowls of special soybean milk in the shop. It's really good. Deep-fried dough sticks are crisp (one from 2 yuan) and soybean milk is fragrant (a bowl from 2 yuan). I spent 12 yuan, and I have eaten very well.
After breakfast, considering that the ferry to Chrysanthemum Island is still early, I decided to visit the ancient city. The ancient city is really "old" Many square bricks of the city wall have been eroded by the sea breeze, and the stones under the city gate have been trampled uneven. The whole city is square, with the "Bell and Drum Tower" in the middle. A pass to 50 yuan is a bit expensive. Compared with the Summer Palace in Beijing, it is only worth 30 yuan. The streets running through the north and south of the ancient city are full of small shops selling small commodities and seafood, and the traffic is endless. It is commendable for the local people. An old man selling hairy crabs, in his fifties and sixties, heard that children like crabs, so he took out a crab and gave it to his children without stint. You know, the local area is not developed. For a catty of crabs 18 yuan, the old people give at least two taels of crabs. The simple and enthusiastic local folk customs can be seen!
After visiting the ancient city, I hurried back to the hotel to pack my bags, checked out and took a taxi to the dock, ready to take a ferry to Chrysanthemum Island. Take a taxi from the Labor Bureau Hotel to the pier 15 yuan, and the visual distance is more than 10 kilometers, which is really not expensive. It's just that the ferry is a little dark. It's about 20 kilometers from Xingcheng to Chrysanthemum Island, and the round-trip ticket is actually 90 yuan per person. If you add several scenic spots, the pass is *** 140 yuan. Think about what caves and beaches on the island can be seen all over the country, so I decided to buy only boat tickets and not visit scenic spots, and be an out-and-out sea watcher!
Comprehensive evaluation: As the saying goes, "The weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as people." Traveling to Xingcheng is in late August, which is much cooler and quieter than Beijing and takes up time. Xingcheng has beautiful sea water, beautiful beaches, beautiful islands, and places of interest that cover an area; Xingcheng people are mostly simple, enthusiastic and harmonious. It should be said that Xingcheng is really a good place. Therefore, according to the percentage system, the scores in all aspects are as follows:
1. Play: 90 points. The ancient city has a long history and is worth seeing, but the ticket price is on the high side!
2. Eat: 92 points. Color, fragrance, characteristics, good quality and moderate price; That is, decoration and hygiene need to be improved. Another disadvantage is that the concept of time is not strong. In the evening 19: 00, some restaurants decided to close when there were not many customers. Many brothers and sisters who want to taste delicious food should go early.
3. Place of residence: 84 points. Warm service and convenient transportation; That is, the room is wet due to sea breeze erosion, and the "seafood" in the room is heavier.
4. Good: 90 points. The rent is high and the price is reasonable; Buses are frequent, and one yuan gets on the bus. It's just that the ferry is too expensive. Let's calculate, according to a ferry carrying 500 people at a time, the round trip is 45,000 yuan. Have you calculated the price? Is there a public hearing? But then again, even if the price hearing is held by local people, we foreign tourists still have no right to speak and can only be slaughtered!
Comprehensive score: 89.0. If you have different opinions, you can make a field trip. Please also ask Xingcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to consider the opinions of the people and strive to do better.
Second, Chrysanthemum Island
At noon the next day, the passenger ship sailed for Chrysanthemum Island. The weather is clear and the sea breeze is mighty, and the ferry rides the wind and waves, which is very spectacular. For those of us who don't often go by boat, it is both fresh and exciting. Everyone in the bow posed as "Titanic" and waved like a great man. It was so lively. Singing and laughing all the way, sea breeze and waves all the way. After 45 minutes, the ship arrived at Chrysanthemum Island. After the ship docked, I saw someone calling in the distance. Judging from the mouth shape, it should be the "new rural hotel" in Liu Jingli. As soon as we met, we were as warm as old friends. Hua 15 yuan hired a "triple jump", which was fast and backward all the way, and all the entourage felt extremely novel and exciting. About half an hour later, we finally arrived at our habitat in Chrysanthemum Island-the New Rural Family Hotel in Chrysanthemum Island.
As soon as the car stopped at the door, the hotel family came out to meet her. Sister-in-law has a "sea face" with a dark face, which may have been blown and sunburned by the sea breeze. Girls are quiet, probably in junior high school. When I saw the room, it was simple, clean and white, which made it impossible to dirty the sheets. The south side of the room faces the sea, the sun shines on the fish scales, and the breeze blows the waves. What a fairyland on earth! What a paradise!
Because of the strong sunshine at noon, other comrades' suggestions for swimming were resolutely stopped. After a nap, get ready swimsuits, tents, swimming rings and other items, and rush to the South China Sea for a bath with excitement! What needs to be reminded here is that many family hotels say that they are close to the sea, only 100 meters, but this is not the case. For example, this hotel is not far from the seaside in a straight line, but it is estimated that it will go down a big slope and cross a cornfield, at least 1500 meters. All the pictures I saw on the Internet were taken in the window of the room, only seeing the sea but not the road. But from the point of view of cleanliness, hygiene and tranquility, I think this family hotel is still good.
Ten minutes later, I finally walked into the sea and stepped into the waves. The water is so clean that even the aquatic plants in the sea can be seen; The sand is soft and clean. Walking on it is like massaging. I also went to Beidaihe last year, but the sea here is very different from Beidaihe. First, there are few people. There are less than 50 people swimming or playing with sand on a big beach. Unlike Beidaihe, just like "cooking jiaozi", there is almost no place to stay on the beach. The second is clean. There are basically no industrial and mining enterprises and no pollution on the island. The water is clean and the sand is pure. Later, we caught more than a dozen sea crabs and hermit crabs in the sand in the sea, but all we touched at Xingcheng seaside were pebbles. Third, it is gentle. From the shore to the seaside, it is nearly 10 meter, and the sand bottom is still gradually thinning. Unlike some places, which are not far from the sea, many people who are not good at swimming will definitely have a lingering fear.
At the seaside, a group of people set up tents in a hurry. After a while, it finally took shape. Suddenly, a man appeared out of nowhere: his face was dark, as if he had just emerged from the chimney; A big belly is like a pig coming down to earth. Be bold, like a hungry wolf pouncing on pleasant goat; In a hurry, it seems that I have to rush to the mortal world to cast a pig fetus. Shout loudly: "Who told you to pitch a tent here!" " "The roar was like a bolt from the blue, which startled several of us." You can pay the land occupation fee if you want to take it! "
We were very angry after hearing this: we can give you money if you want, but we won't give it to you. You can't say you want it, so we won't give it. If you don't want it, we can only give it to you. Why so rude! ? Just a huge sea breeze blew, and the tent was a little uncontrollable and was about to be blown away. So, my heart is crossed and I won't take it! Roll the tent into a ball at once and hold it down with stones. This man is too damaging to the image of the people of Chrysanthemum Island and Xingcheng. Since it is stipulated to pay the so-called "land occupation fee", why not make it clear when the tent is set up, and then threaten it when it is almost set up? Since you want the customer, the God, to send you money, can you be a little nicer and make God feel better? Alas, when these problems are solved, we will be much closer to a well-off society!
Seeing the beautiful sea, the unhappiness just now quickly vanished. We play in the sea, swim, somersault and dig sand together. Tell everyone a good news. Although some people in Chrysanthemum Island are not of high quality, God is extremely caring for this island: we step on some hard things in the sea and plunge into it, either sea crabs or hermit crabs. Once, I caught two sea crabs and hugged them tightly. I don't know if they are fighting the wind and waves or falling in love.
It is better to walk around, so free and comfortable, than to lie in the sea and let the wind and waves beat. I really want to do this until eternity passes. However, time is like the never-ending sea water, which is fleeting. After a while, dusk came. Considering that there is still a long way to go to the island, I have to walk to the camp.
In the evening, while eating on the observation deck of the hotel, I watched the sea view and looked around: the moon passed through the clouds like snow lotus, casting a golden light on the sea, several fishing boats swaying on the sea, and the moonlight and fishing light scattered into scales at the seaside. Suddenly I remembered that poem: "Look at the fishing lamp in the dark and windy month, and the lamp is lit;" Slight wind and waves, scattered like river stars. "It's beautiful, really as beautiful as a fairy tale!
The spirit is satisfying, but the material aspect is not satisfactory: several dishes are not ready, and the face is sour. Finally, I learned that people on the island have more snacks and seafood, but less pasta and rice, and their experience is really not rich enough. The day before I left, I cooked three dishes myself: fried onions, fried eggs and fried celery noodles. My sister-in-law cooked a stew in the northeast. I asked my sister to taste the three dishes I cooked, and she always said yes. Indeed, it is estimated that they can't reach the level of an experienced person like me. However, on the other hand, Sister-in-law's "chaotic stew" is really good and has been well received by the staff!
On the third day, it rained continuously, big and small, a dime a dozen, and mung beans. All plans for hiking and swimming in the sea fell through. Finally, I arrived at the seaside at a time when it didn't rain, just to see the spectacular sight of the rising tide of the sea: in front of dozens of strange-shaped boulders, waves rushed over, stirring up waves nearly 2 meters high in front of the boulders, flying beads splashing jade and splashing waves, which was spectacular! In two days, I saw both the quiet side of the sea and the rushing side of the sea. Although the food is similar, it is worth it!
On the fourth day, the weather was still not beautiful and the rain was intermittent. After fierce ideological struggle, I finally decided to leave this beautiful island. Once again, it took 15 yuan to come to the dock under the fierce turbulence of "triple jump". What needs to be reminded here is that it is better to come to the ship on time than to return to it. We waited until 1 1: 30 in the morning. You can't send it back in time when you just pull it in; Just want to make money, not good service, really not very authentic.
Comprehensive evaluation: It's late August to travel to Chrysanthemum Island, and it's already the weather after beginning of autumn. It rained continuously and the weather was not good. Swimming and donkey walking have become extravagant hopes, so it is best to come here before mid-August. Chrysanthemum Island has beautiful seawater, beautiful beaches and beautiful islands. Most of the "islanders" are simple and enthusiastic. Therefore, according to the percentage system, the scores in all aspects are as follows:
1. Play: 94 points. The sea is absolutely first-class, and the characteristics of scenic spots are insufficient.
2. Eat: 80 points. Seafood has characteristics, quality and moderate price; It's just that pasta and rice are not well prepared. Although it is not like "pig food" as some comrades said, it really needs to be greatly improved.
3. Residence: 95 points. The service is warm, clean and tidy, the price is not high, there is a solar water heater and a separate bathroom, especially a hot bath every time, which is really cool and good.
4. Good: 80 points. Taxis are all "three jumps", but buses are not. The ferry is too bad, just take it and don't send it; Come on time, wait back. A little unorthodox!
Comprehensive score: 87.25 points.
As the saying goes, "eat the mountain by the mountain and eat the sea by the sea." Please Xingcheng Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government, Juhuadao Township Party Committee and Township Government listen carefully to tourists' opinions, make efforts to do a better job, and let this good island play a good role for the benefit of local people.
Third, Xingcheng Waterfront
Cut the gossip. When I returned to Xingcheng from Chrysanthemum Island, it was noon. I hurried back to the Labor Bureau Hotel to arrange my room, had lunch at Shuaifu Soymilk and quickly rushed to Xingcheng Beach.
There are many beach people here. Although it is not as "spoiled" as Beidaihe, it is much more than Chrysanthemum Island. I heard that admission to the seaside used to be charged, but now it has been cancelled under the concern of the local government. It feels really good. But the phenomenon of "asking for money" on the beach makes people feel like eating a fly, disgusting! Let me calculate for you:
1. Swimming ring rental: 3 60 yuan each 20 yuan; Buy a swimming ring in the supermarket just 10 yuan!
2. Tent occupancy fee: 20 yuan;
3. Bathing: 5 yuan per person, *** 15 yuan; The water temperature is extremely low, making people tremble. I wonder if tourists are allowed to exercise?
4. Change clothes: 2 yuan per person.
5. Toilet: 1 yuan per person.
Let's calculate that it costs so much for three people to swim upstream of the beach. Imagine taking a sauna in a big city at this price. Although the tickets were cancelled, there was no discussion! I wonder if the beaches in the whole country are so dark and so unscrupulous. I only remember that there is a pipe at the beach entrance of Beidaihe, which is convenient for tourists to wash their feet. The price is not like this.
After swimming in the sea for a while, I felt the slope was particularly steep. I swam about 5 meters from the shore to the sea, which was a steep submarine slope and soon fell to more than 2 meters deep. In addition, the shore also suggests that there are reefs in the sea and they dare not go deep. In addition, the overall quality of seawater is not good, the color is dim, and the bottom is sloppy. The beach is not very clean either. People who take a "sand bath" in the sand always feel a sense of shame. I don't know why.
On the fifth morning, the light rain stopped and the lead clouds were gathering, so I decided to go to the seaside. At first glance, it doesn't matter. Yesterday, I discovered the shame of sand: it rained last night, and there was more water on the road. Some workers just made a hole in the beach to let the dirty water flow into the sea along the sand, and a lot of dirty water and garbage seeped into the sand; Rooms with showers and toilets all lead to the beach at the door. Hey! There is a beach at the end of it, which is used as a garbage station and sewage pool by these unscrupulous people; How painful it is to have a beach and be stained by a group of people who don't know how to cherish it! What a pity! Anger! So I decided never to swim on this beach again.
Coming to the reef by the sea is another groping. I caught some small sea crabs. The children shouted happily, but my heart was very heavy. What a beautiful beach! What nice people, but their reputation was ruined by several vendors! After catching a few small crabs, they were all released into the sea. I got on the 1 bus and spent 1 yuan to go back to the station.
At this time, Xiaoguo brought good news. The D24 ticket for Huludao North Station has been bought. What needs to be reminded here is that the trains from Xingcheng to Beijing are ordinary trains, which take a long time, have many stops and are cheap, but it is extremely difficult to buy tickets. But Xingcheng is a city in Huludao, and the distance is not far. You only need 30 yuan to take a taxi from Xingcheng to Huludao North. You can buy a bullet train from Huludao North to Beijing and return to Beijing within 3 hours. In short, after taking the D24 train, it was really fast, with only one stop in Tangshan. The speed is very fast, sometimes reaching 220 km/h.
Comprehensive evaluation: most people in Xingcheng are very good, but individual seaside vendors have ruined the reputation of Xingcheng people; Xingcheng seaside is generally good, but if it is not cherished and protected, it can be predicted that it will become a beach in 10. Therefore, according to the percentage system, the scores in all aspects are as follows:
1. Play: 80 points. There is some pollution in the sea and the beach, and vendors are a little robbed of money.
2. Eat: 93 points. Because I found a clean and high-quality hotel, I saved the trouble of picking and choosing, and my score was higher than when I first came.
3. Place of residence: 82 points. Warm service and convenient transportation; It happened that it rained these two days and the room was humid. The room was flooded and the smell of smelly salted fish was stronger.
4. Good: 92 points. The rent is high and the price is reasonable; The bus is very convenient. You can get on for one yuan.
Comprehensive score: 86.75 points.
I remember Sun Dasheng Stephen Chow had a classic line in A Chinese Odyssey: "There was a sincere love before me, and I didn't cherish it. I regret it when I lose it. The most painful thing in the world is this. Cut your sword on my throat! Don't hesitate any longer! If God can give me another chance, I will say three words to that girl: I love you. If I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it is-10,000 years! "
For Xingcheng seaside, should it be changed to this: "There was a beautiful beach in front of me, and I didn't cherish it. You will regret it if you lose it. The most painful thing in the world is this. Wash your dirty water on my beach! Don't hesitate any longer! If God gives me another chance, I will say three words to Na Pianhai Beach: I love you. If I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it is-10,000 years! "
Fourth, the postscript
Total score of Xingcheng tourism: 86.7 points.
Xingcheng has "three beauties": sea beauty, island beauty and human beauty; But there are also "three shortcomings": not caring enough for the beach, not providing warm service and not building enough hardware.
It's late at night and the computer is still working. I have written more than 6000 words for a long time. For the sake of being so serious about literature and art, please forward this post more. I guess you may not need this article this year. Many friends will read it from June to September next year. I just want to say to the brothers and sisters who read this article: I will be satisfied if I can provide you with some useful enlightenment!
Because it is a travel book, it is similar to a running account in some places. Please criticize and correct me.
The rhythm of autumn
Record 20 10 in a hurry at 4: 30 am on August 23rd.
