Nalan Hotel (Xinbin)

9.5/10154 Reviews

Guest User: After comparing several hotels, I finally settled on this one, and I wasn't disappointed after checking in. The environment is quiet with good soundproofing, so you won't be disturbed by outside noise. The interior layout is well-designed, with excellent natural light and ventilation. The bedding is soft and skin-friendly, allowing for a good rest. The bathroom design is thoughtful, so you don't have to worry about water accumulation. In your free time, you can immerse yourself in relaxation; there's plenty of space, so even with multiple guests, it doesn't feel crowded. The value for money in the local area is quite impressive.

Fushun Xinbin He Mu Hotel (He Mu National Forest Park Branch)

9.3/10128 Reviews

guanhan: I stumbled upon this forest park by chance and have brought my kids here about 5 or 6 times since. This time, I was surprised to find I could book a room on Ctrip! The breakfast here is very simple but heartwarming – homemade steamed buns, mixed pickles, and congee, and it tastes great too. The best part is that once you've booked a room, you get unlimited access to the mountain and free rides on the electric shuttle. We arrived late in the evening, and Sister Wang Yuqin from the third floor escorted us to our room, turned on the TV, and AC for us. The front desk service was excellent. Aside from the outdated facilities, this hotel has no other issues. But considering the price, including breakfast and free mountain access, this place is a hidden gem. Honestly, if it weren't for how kind the front desk and the service ladies were, I wouldn't even be sharing this. I'm genuinely worried that if too many people come, it won't be as quiet anymore! 😂

8.8/1044 Reviews

Aiyoheaiyowei: Health is very good, the environment is average. I didn't expect any service for the service, but it was really awkward. The front desk also had a lottery business and kept playing lottery tickets. I had to wait for the guest to check in. The room has a charged drink, but the room rate of 150+ does not include drinking water. I asked the front desk sister to tell me that there is no charge. I have to go out to buy it myself. I have never stayed in a hotel that does not give bottled water for these years.

Xinbin Houjin Hotel

9.1/1033 Reviews

Guest User: The hotel is in the scenic area. After checking in, you can order food in the town, but there is nothing you want to eat. The eight bowls of local specialties were not eaten, and there were few people who went there and didn't try them. The room is still very small... The breakfast is also very ordinary. At this price, remember that the price is very general. If you include tickets, it is very cost-effective. The hotel sells tickets on behalf of the hotel, which is cheaper than buying online.

Bucuohuode: The location of the homestay was originally a village where the original residents of the city of Hetunara moved. The night was very quiet. The rooms are all in a courtyard house, fully implemented and clean. The service staff is also very warm and thoughtful. Breakfast is simple but nutritious. There are also small workshops around Manchu non-legacy embroidery and so on. People who like the comfortable way of travel are suitable to stay here for one night to feel this rare simplicity and tranquility.

Fushun | Hetu Ala City travel tips to avoid pitfalls, local insights compiled Hetu Ala City is one of the core historical sites of the pre-Qing era, located in Fu

Fushun | Hetu Ala City travel tips to avoid pitfalls, local insights compiled Hetu Ala City is one of the core historical sites of the pre-Qing era, located in Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun. It is an important historical coordinate for the rise of the Manchu people and a unique scenic spot for experiencing Manchu folk culture 🏯. The scenic area is divided into two main zones: the inner city and the outer city. It retains the architectural style of the early Qing Dynasty and features regular Manchu folk performances, making it suitable for history buffs and those interested in folk culture. The following content is compiled based on public local information to help visitors avoid common issues during their trip. 📜 Basic information about the scenic spot Hetu Ala City was built during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. It was the first capital of the Later Jin regime established by Nurhaci and is considered one of the birthplaces of the Manchu people. Among the existing ruins, the inner city preserves core historical remains such as the Khan Well, the Zhengbai Banner Office, and the Khan Palace, while the outer city focuses on Manchu folk villages and spaces for displaying intangible cultural heritage. In 2006, Hetu Ala City was designated as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level. Most of the buildings in the scenic area today have been reconstructed on their original sites according to the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty, while also preserving several original archaeological excavation layers, offering both historical research value and sightseeing appeal. Before visiting, it is recommended to learn some basic history of the pre-Qing era and Manchu folk customs, which can significantly enhance your experience and help you avoid feeling lost when facing the buildings and exhibits. If you need historical explanations, it is recommended to book a licensed guide at the official service point in the scenic area. Do not trust "unauthorized guides" who approach you outside the scenic area; their explanations often contain a lot of inaccurate information and may even lure you to private attractions with extra fees. 🌟 Core visiting areas and highlights The scenic area is divided into two main visiting zones: the inner city and the outer city. It is recommended to visit in the order of "inner city first, then outer city" to avoid backtracking: Inner City ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: This is the area with the most concentrated historical remains. The Khan Palace is the core landmark building, restoring the scene of political discussions in the early Later Jin period, and houses a permanent exhibition on the history of the founding of the Qing Dynasty. The Khan Well is the only authentic Ming Dynasty relic remaining in the inner city; it still has flowing water and is a must-visit spot for tourists. The Zhengbai Banner Office preserves the restored scene of the Qing Dynasty banner office and features a small exhibition of Manchu documents and artifacts. Outer City Folk Area ⭐⭐⭐⭐: This area mainly features traditional Manchu village architecture and includes spaces for displaying intangible cultural heritage such as Manchu paper cutting, shaman costumes, and Manchu cuisine. At specific times, there are regular performances of Manchu Yangge and shaman sacrificial rituals (you can check the performance schedule on the bulletin board at the entrance of the scenic area), which is suitable for tourists who enjoy folk experiences. Surrounding supporting areas: There is a Manchu folk commercial street near the exit of the scenic area, selling special souvenirs and snacks. Prices are generally slightly lower than those inside the scenic area, so it is recommended to purchase what you need after finishing your tour. ⚠️ Travel and visiting tips Transportation Hetu Ala City is quite far from downtown Fushun, and public transport is limited. If you choose to travel by public transport, it is recommended to check the official departure times released by the bus station in advance to avoid missing the last bus back. If you choose to charter a car, it is recommended to book through a regular platform. Do not take unlicensed vehicles that solicit passengers outside the scenic area; these vehicles often quote high prices and may force you to take detours to shopping spots. The scenic area parking lot is located on the east side of the main gate. Parking spaces are tight during peak seasons, so it is recommended to avoid peak times during public holidays or arrive at the scenic area before 9:00 AM. Consumption The scenic area uses a one-ticket system, which includes admission to all open areas in the inner and outer cities. Apart from self-funded folk experience projects and guide services, there are no additional mandatory charges. Do not trust claims from outside personnel selling "internal discount tickets" or "all-access passes including hidden attractions"; most of these tickets cannot be used to enter the park. There are few dining options inside the scenic area, and prices are relatively high. You can bring a moderate amount of drinking water and portable snacks to reduce the financial burden during your visit. If you want to taste authentic Manchu specialties like "Eight Dishes and Eight Bowls" or Suantangzi, it is recommended to return to regular restaurants in Xinbin County, where the taste is more authentic and the prices are more reasonable. There are self-funded projects in the scenic area, such as Manchu costume rentals and archery experiences. It is recommended to ask about the charging standards and service duration before consuming to avoid disputes later. Visiting precautions Most of the visiting areas in Hetu Ala City are outdoors. The sun is strong in summer, and the temperature is low in winter. It is recommended to prepare for sun protection or cold weather according to the weather conditions before traveling, and wear comfortable flat shoes for walking. The cultural relics and reconstructed buildings in the scenic area have protection requirements. Do not climb walls or touch exhibits at will. Please follow the on-site regulations for exhibition halls where photography is prohibited. When watching folk performances, please respect traditional Manchu customs. Do not interrupt the performance process at will, and do not take impolite photos or videos of the performers. 📝 Visiting suggestions If you want to deeply understand the history of the scenic area, you can reserve 4–5 hours for the visit. If you only visit the core spots, you can finish the main areas in 2–3 hours. If you have enough time, you can combine it with a visit to the nearby Qing Yongling. The two attractions are close to each other, allowing you to fully experience the development of pre-Qing history. Overall, Hetu Ala City is one of the few pre-Qing historical scenic spots in Northeast China. It has not been overly commercialized and is suitable for tourists who like history, culture, and folk experiences. Planning your trip in advance will ensure a great visiting experience.

Deep mountains lock in summer heat, creek water brings coolness, Fushun’s hidden original ecological summer escape guide

Deep mountains lock in summer heat, creek water brings coolness, Fushun’s hidden original ecological summer escape guide For summer cooling in Liaoning, there’s no need to crowd popular seaside spots. Nestled in the forested mountains and streams of the Changbai Mountain foothills, Fushun offers a vast area of untouched natural coolness in Northeast China. Its extremely high forest coverage keeps temperatures low, with gurgling canyon streams, gentle lake breezes, and secret natural rafting spots. The cool 22℃ feeling lasts throughout, with few people, peaceful scenery, and lush greenery, making it a local favorite for short summer escapes. Food, lodging, and travel guide Most of Fushun’s summer cooling spots are in the suburban mountains and forests, best explored by car. The mountain roads are gentle and easy to drive, connecting attractions without detours. Accommodation options vary: for convenience, stay in the city’s commercial area with plenty of night market food; for quiet mountain retreats, choose countryside inns around Qingyuan or Sarhu, where you can wake up to mountain breezes and fall asleep to creek sounds. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is significant. Even in midsummer, evenings feel cool, so bring a light jacket. Follow the summer rhythm of “morning in the mountains, afternoon by the water, evening in the city” to avoid midday heat and stay comfortable all day. Local prices are affordable, with fresh and reasonably priced farmhouse dishes, offering excellent value for a summer getaway. Three-day cool summer itinerary Day 1: Cool off by the forest lake, immerse in fresh oxygen The first day focuses on enjoying natural coolness with a full-day stroll through Sarhu Scenic Area. The forest coverage exceeds 90%, forming a huge natural oxygen bar around the Dahuo Reservoir. The lakeside greenery is dense, with continuous shade and no direct sun exposure. Take an early morning walk around the lake to enjoy the cool air. The lake’s mist carries a refreshing breeze that dissipates the summer heat. Walk slowly along the wooden boardwalk through the forest, surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air. Relax on the lawn or enjoy the water view. At noon, rest in the forest shade to avoid the heat. In the evening, visit Crescent Island Ecological Park, where the gentle breeze and soothing night views offer a peaceful city retreat. Day 2: Cool off in the canyon stream, enjoy natural rafting On day two, experience Fushun’s top summer activity: rafting in the Honghe Valley. Known as Northeast China’s premier rafting spot, the 12.8 km long river winds through deep mountain canyons, surrounded by green mountains and dense forests. The average summer temperature is just 22℃. Ride a raft downstream on the clear, icy water. Relax in the calm sections to admire the forest greenery, then have fun splashing in the rapid parts. The whole experience is an immersive water adventure that beats summer heat and boredom. After rafting, explore nearby mountain streams, wade in shallow water, or hike along the creek to connect with pristine nature. Day 3: End with a secret mountain forest, a gentle finish to the trip On the last day, visit Kuangzigou original ecological area, where 95% forest coverage creates a naturally cool secret spot. The valley streams run through the entire forest, and towering ancient trees provide full shade, so no sunscreen is needed while walking. Stroll along the creek trail, listen to the mountain springs, and feel the cool mountain breeze. The air is full of negative ions, making it refreshing and healing. The deep forest is quiet and serene, perfect for slow walks, relaxing, and taking photos. In the afternoon, return to the city to explore local streets and enjoy specialty snacks, ending your cool trip with ease. Summer cooling specialties Fushun’s summer food is refreshing and light, perfect for cooling off. The signature Fushun spicy mix is sweet, sour, and dry, stimulating the appetite without heaviness. Qingyuan farmhouse stir-fry uses fresh ingredients and has a strong home-cooked flavor. Xinbin lamb soup is mild and cooling, paired with freshly baked farmhouse flatbread for a warm and comforting meal. Wild mountain vegetables picked in the mountains are light and refreshing, helping to clear heat and grease. Chilled local fruits are sweet and juicy, making a natural summer treat. Home-style dishes at mountain inns use real ingredients and authentic flavors, far surpassing typical scenic area fast food. Summer travel tips Wear waterproof gear for rafting and bring a change of clothes. Do not bring valuable electronics near the water. Mountain forest areas often have short rain showers, so carry a sun and rain umbrella. Canyon trails can be slippery, so wear non-slip sports shoes throughout. Mosquitoes are common in summer forests, so prepare insect repellent in advance. Weekdays have fewer visitors, making the forest and rafting experience quieter and enhancing the summer escape atmosphere. Coolness hides deep in the mountains, and creek water brushes away summer dust. Fushun offers an original ecological forest and stream retreat to avoid crowds and heat, promising a gentle and refreshing summer holiday.

The banks of the Daling River are great for a leisurely evening stroll to watch the sunset. 🏯 Fushun The birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, offering both forests and culture.

Food recommendations 🥘 Jilin: Wula Manchu hot pot with a rich broth and abundant ingredients; slippery jianfen (jelly noodles), which you can find at street food stalls; old-fashioned pastries that are sweet but not cloying, perfect as a snack. 🍲 Liaoyang: Sanxing lamb soup with fried cakes—warm up with a bite of soup and a bite of cake; Lao Yangtou roast chicken is tender and flavorful; ta tang (pagoda candy) is a local specialty pastry that is crispy, sweet, and fragrant. 🍜 Chaoyang: Lingyuan lamb soup with sesame flatbread; stewed intestines are a local specialty with a unique texture; pork rib steamed dumplings with thin skins and generous fillings—one bite is super satisfying. 🌶️ Fushun: Signature spicy mix—the sweet and sour sauce coats every ingredient, making it addictive; perilla leaf bobo (steamed buns) with a fresh, leafy fragrance; Manchu "Eight Great Bowls," with hearty portions and authentic flavors. Local features Each of the four cities has its own flavor. Jilin is a gentle riverside city where landscapes and Manchu culture blend. Liaoyang has over 2,000 years of Liaodong history, with clusters of ancient buildings and a quiet, uncrowded atmosphere. Chaoyang is a treasure trove of ancient civilization, rich in Hongshan culture and fossil resources, making it very fresh and interesting to explore. Fushun is a veteran coal capital, with Manchu history on one side and unique industrial imprints on the other. Overall, people in these small Northeast cities are very warm, portions are large, and they offer great value. Temperatures in mountainous and riverside areas can vary significantly between day and night, so bring a light jacket. Most museums are closed on Mondays, so keep that in mind before you head out.

Visiting the Shenyang Imperial Palace on its 400th Anniversary.

August 16, 2025 The year 2025 marks the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Shenyang Imperial Palace. After Nurhaci, the founder of the Later Jin Dynasty, established his state, he moved the capital from Hetu Ala in Fushun to Dongjing in Liaoyang, and then relocated again to Shenyang in 1625, where construction on the palace began. During this period, major structures like the Dazheng Hall and the Ten King Pavilions were built, establishing Shenyang as the new political center of the Later Jin. Since various celebrations for the 400th anniversary were taking place, I was eager to revisit the palace. Walking through a palace that has preserved 400 years of history was a moving experience, and reflecting on the historical transition from the Later Jin to the Qing Dynasty made it even more meaningful. This visit was more than just sightseeing; it was a profound opportunity to appreciate the historical value and architectural significance of the Shenyang Imperial Palace once again. ■ The Significance of the 400th Anniversary ▪︎ Historical Significance: The 1625 relocation of the Later Jin capital to Shenyang marked the beginning of the palace's construction, which eventually served as the political hub for the early Qing Dynasty. ▪︎ Architectural Significance: Starting with the Dazheng Hall and the Ten King Pavilions, the palace expanded over approximately 160 years, blending architectural features from Manchu, Han, and other cultures. Shenyang's history did not begin in 1625. The area had a long history of settlements and urban life well before that; however, 1625 represents a major turning point when Shenyang rose as a new political center through the relocation of the capital and the construction of the palace. This makes my visit during the summer of 2025, for the 400th anniversary, particularly special. This anniversary is not merely a celebration of the palace’s age, but a chance to reflect on Shenyang’s transformation from a historical capital and industrial hub into the largest city in Northeast China (Manchuria) today.

Don't just go to Shenyang and Dalian! These 4 hidden gem cities in Liaoning are just a 1-hour high-speed train ride away and are surprisingly uncrowded

Beyond Shenyang and Dalian, there's another way to experience Liaoning. Jilin, Liaoyang, Chaoyang, and Fushun—four severely underrated small cities, all within a 1-hour high-speed train ride. They are uncrowded, rich in history, and affordable. You can explore one in just a weekend. 🌊 Jilin | Slow living by the Songhua River Depart from Shenyang North; the high-speed train takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Go boating on Songhua Lake to see the "Thousand Island Lake of the North," hike up Beishan Park for a free panoramic view of the river city, and see the world's largest stone meteorite at the Jilin City Museum. The Wula Street Manchu Ancient Town is worth half a day; be sure to have an authentic Wula Manchu hot pot. 🥢 Eat: Wula Manchu hot pot (sauerkraut, pork, and blood sausage, approx. 55 yuan per person), fried starch noodles (8 yuan), and traditional pastries from Fuyuanguan. Hunchun Street Night Market is the ultimate spot for local vibes. 🗓 2 days: Day 1: Beishan Park > Museum > Evening stroll by the Songhua River; Day 2: Songhua Lake boat tour > Wula Street > Return. 🏛️ Liaoyang | A 2,400-year-old ancient city in Liaodong 25 minutes by high-speed train from Shenyang. Baita Park is free and features the tallest existing Liao Dynasty pagoda in Northeast China, with exquisite octagonal, 13-story brick carvings. Admission to Guangyou Temple is about 40 yuan; it houses the world's largest bronze seated statue of Sakyamuni. See thousand-year-old artifacts at the Liaoyang Museum, and head to the Taizi River at sunset. 🥢 Eat: Liaoyang spicy mix (a signature sweet and sour local dish), Laoyangtou roast chicken. ⚠️ The museum is closed on Mondays. Guangyou Temple is best visited in the early morning. 🦕 Chaoyang | Where the first bird took flight About 1 hour by high-speed train from Shenyang. Twin rooms cost about 180 yuan/night. Admission to the Bird Fossil National Geopark is about 80 yuan. See the 120-million-year-old Sinosauropteryx fossil; hiring a guide (50 yuan/person) is recommended, or you might not fully appreciate it.

Spent 3 days in Fushun, no tourist traps (insider tips)

Fushun in October–November is amazing. No suffocating crowds, and the crisp, cool atmosphere of late autumn and early winter is just perfect! I spent 3 days there recently, walking over 20,000 steps a day, but I just couldn't stop exploring. I stayed up late to put together this guide—avoid the traps and follow my recommendations! 👇 🍁 [Great photo spots, these places are truly stunning] 📸 Sarhu Scenic Area: Late October is the perfect time to visit. The autumn colors are breathtaking, with vast skies and waters—the grandeur of nature is truly awe-inspiring. Find a high vantage point to overlook the lake, put on a coat and a scarf, and you'll get those cinematic shots! 📸 Gao'er Mountain: Hike to the top to overlook the city's autumn scenery. The ancient pagoda paired with yellow leaves, especially when the sunlight hits, creates a profound sense of history. Wearing new Chinese-style clothing will definitely make your photos stand out. 📸 Hetuala City: It's far from the city center, but it's worth it! Rich in Manchu culture, the grey bricks and tiles paired with golden fallen leaves give it a real sense of time travel. It's great for textured photos. 📸 Yueya Island Park: The reed marshes in late autumn are perfect for photos. Go in the evening to catch the sunset—it's incredibly relaxing. 🍜 [Foodie radar, don't go to viral spots, listen to the locals] ❌ Avoid those high-end tourist streets; they are easy traps! ✅ Mala Ban (spicy mix): The soul of Fushun! Just duck into an old alley and find a small, unassuming shop packed with people. Sweet, sour, spicy, and numbing—add an order of red meatballs and mix it with wide noodles. It's so good you'll lick the plate! ✅ BBQ: Fushun BBQ is top-tier! Remember to order the local small skewers. Grill them yourself until they sizzle, dip them in dry rub, wrap them in lettuce, and take a bite—it's heaven. ✅ Lamb soup: With the cold weather in November, a bowl of hot lamb soup in the morning, paired with a freshly baked flatbread, will warm you from head to toe. ✅ Manchu specialties: When visiting the Xinbin area, look for authentic Manchu flavors. Try a few items from the "eight dishes and eight bowls" feast, but be careful when ordering—the portions are huge! 🏨 [How to choose accommodation] 👉 For convenience (food, drinks, and fun): Choose the Xinfu District city center or near Wanda. You'll have food right downstairs, and everything is close by. 👉 For a quieter stay or if you're driving: Choose Shuncheng District. The environment is better, and it's easy to get onto the expressway. Actually, taxis in Fushun are quite cheap, so staying in the city center is the most worry-free option. 🚗 [3-day, 2-night lazy itinerary, no backtracking] 🔹 Day 1 (Slow city tour): Arrive at noon and start with a meal of Mala Ban 👉 Afternoon: Visit the Lei Feng Memorial (very meaningful) 👉 Evening: Go to Gao'er Mountain to watch the sunset and city views 👉 Night: Enjoy Fushun BBQ. 🔹 Day 2 (Nature and fresh air): Depart early for Sarhu Scenic Area, bring some snacks, and explore at your own pace while taking photos of the autumn scenery 👉 Afternoon: Return to the city to stroll around Yueya Island and see the reed marshes 👉 Night: Have some lamb soup. 🔹 Day 3 (History and culture): Drive or take a taxi to Hetuala City in Xinbin to experience the heritage of the Manchu birthplace 👉 Noon: Eat some authentic local farm-style food 👉 Afternoon: Head home. 💣 [Honest advice to avoid traps, listen up!] 1️⃣ Dress warmly! Dress warmly! Dress warmly! Northeast China in October–November is no joke, especially in the suburbs and mountains. The wind can be brutal, so make sure you have a down jacket and thick thermal leggings. 2️⃣ Sarhu is huge, and there isn't much good food inside. Pack your bag with plenty of water and snacks before you go, or you'll be miserable if you get hungry. 3️⃣ Xinbin is over 100 kilometers from the city center. If you want to go, it's best to dedicate a full day to it. Plan your transportation in advance and don't leave in the afternoon—the roads are difficult to navigate after dark. 4️⃣ If you encounter a taxi driver who is overly enthusiastic and insists on recommending a specific restaurant, be cautious. Take out your phone, check the map and nearby reviews, and then decide.

Yongling Tomb of the Qing Dynasty

As a World Cultural Heritage site and the foremost of the three imperial mausoleums outside the Great Wall, this ancestral mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty exudes a solemn tranquility, devoid of hustle and bustle. Red walls and yellow tiles reflect against Qiyun Mountain; the unique wooden fence and red gate, the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han inscriptions on the Four Ancestors Stele Pavilion, and the distinctive stone dragon carvings unique to Qing mausoleums—every detail holds a piece of early Manchu history. The guides are professional and meticulous, vividly explaining the imperial ancestral worship rites and the stories of the mausoleum's feng shui. The scenic area is well-managed, clean, and free of forced purchases and noisy vendors. It's a perfect place to calmly appreciate and explore!

Shenxian Valley Ecotourism Resort

The scenic area is not big, suitable for bringing the elderly and children to play together, absorbing the negative oxygen ions of the forest. There are many amusement facilities for children in the scenic area. The most attractive aerial cableway is entertaining, but the cost performance is not very high. Accommodation and parking in the scenic area are not included. It is charged per time. Even if you stay out, you still have to pay extra

Shenyang Fangcheng Cultural Tourism Area

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.

Liaoning Qingyuan Red River Valley National Forest Park is located in the middle of Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province, on the branch of Longgang Mountain, a remnant of Changbai Mountain. [1] It is only 5 kilometers away from Qingyuan Town, the county seat, less than 100 kilometers away from Shenyang, Fushun and other central urban areas in Liaoning Province, and less than 100 kilometers away from Meihekou City in Jilin to the east, with a total area of 9112.3 hectares.

Jingyue Lake

It's a large lake, and we circled around it. An unlimited shuttle bus ticket costs 20 yuan, while a single ride costs 10 yuan. You can hop on and off at any stop. The park is lush with greenery, but the entertainment options are average, as it's not the dead of winter. There are skiing facilities, though.

Changbai Mountain

Changbai Mountain, true to its name, is incredibly clean! The restrooms in all areas were spotless, with sensor-activated flushes and hot water for handwashing – a truly touching experience for an autumn/winter trip. The restrooms had different themes, such as sables and black bears, adding a touch of vibrancy. We arrived a little late; most of the leaves had fallen, and it was the dry season, so the waterfalls weren't at their most beautiful. The small Tianchi Lake wasn't worth visiting yet; it's small, the water quality is so-so, and the surrounding forests are bare. Overall, the autumn air was crisp and clear. The 50-kilometer stretch from the distribution center to the transfer center was beautiful, vibrant with color, and Tianchi Lake was stunning. I especially loved the forest at the bottom of the valley; the pine scent was wonderful! I highly recommend walking to the end; there are vast, fairytale-like forests there, and we were lucky enough to encounter foxes and quite a few chipmunks along the way!

Hemu Forest Park

I don't know if it's because of the epidemic, there are no more than 10 cars in the scenic area, and then you need to pay in cash to buy tickets when there is a power outage. I exchanged money with the roasted sweet potato seller at the door, and the people were quite enthusiastic. The scenic area is not big, and one day is enough to walk the whole way. The thin sky is more interesting. When the groundwater flows down, it's wet and my shoes are soaked. The scenery basically remains natural, and it's very good for relaxation.
