On the afternoon of the day that we arrived
in Xingcheng, we left for Qinhuangdao. It was raining heavily while we were on
the highway. I kept the speed less than 100 kilometres per hour. We got to
Qinhuangdao in the late afternoon. We booked in a hotel a normal room with a
large bed, an air conditioner, a TV and a toilet. 150 yuan more or less is
worthy of that.
The next morning, it only took us less than
30 minutes to get to the beach. Policemen were everywhere, and they guided our
traffic. The bill of the parking was 20 yuan. I paid some money for life
buoys because none of us could swim. The water was not too deep near the
beach and with a life buoy I could float on the water in order not to get
drowned. I taught my wife how to use the life buoy, although it was also the
first time that I used it. But my daughter was fascinated by the sand. She
played with the sand with all her attention, which made us laugh. The
environment in Beidaihe was fine, although it was not very clean, and we had a
good time.
By the way, in the evening we visited the
shopping street in the central city. We visited a shopping street near Beidaihe.
There were a lot of people, shopping and dining. Of course, we had some seafood
there too.
