Taking a Trip to Tangshan with Kids, |So Close and So Beautiful, Perfect for a Weekend Getaway

|So Close and So Beautiful, Perfect for a Weekend Getaway. Just a 2-hour drive from Beijing, we visited several attractions in Tangshan that I highly recommend! We stayed at the Guofeng Grand Skylight International Hotel From our lakeside room, we could watch the fountain show every night Let me tell you about the places we visited in Tangshan 1️⃣ Hetou Old Street I was truly amazed In that moment, I felt transported back to the Tang Dynasty It gave me a sense of the Tang Dynasty's golden age Tangshan's tourism department has put in great effort This was the first scenic area I've seen with pet care services, Just register at the service center at the entrance Tangshan tourism really thinks of everything! No need to worry if it's inconvenient to bring a stroller with your child You can borrow one for free inside, including wheelchairs There are many volunteer service points offering free hot water and tea, Various snacks, and even the food stalls maintain good hygiene Inside there are various performances and interactive activities When tired, you can rest; when hungry, you can grab some snacks. 2️⃣ Tangshan Feast It was packed with people, with both snack stalls and restaurants Despite the crowds, it's worth visiting 3️⃣ Tangshan Earthquake Ruins I can't explain why, but as our car got closer, my mood became increasingly heavy While touring the ground level, I tried hard to hold back my emotions We bought chrysanthemums at the entrance to offer to those who died in the earthquake Once we reached the underground exhibition hall, I could no longer contain my sadness I cried loudly, with uncontrollable tears, and it took a long time to calm down 4️⃣ Eastern Qing Tombs Burial site of many emperors, empresses, concubines, and Empress Dowager Cixi The scale is enormous - it's several kilometers from the ticket office to the tombs by electric cart 5️⃣ South Lake Park You need to take an electric cart - the park is truly vast Various pavilions and towers, with bridges over water creating a very pleasant atmosphere 6️⃣ Purple Swan Manor Cabins A collection of mountain villas where we had a meal, but it can be difficult to get in sometimes Since visiting Tangshan, whenever friends ask me about short-trip destinations I tell them, go to Tangshan!
