Remember a trip to Rushan, Huangdao, Shandong, Cangzhou, Hebei 01

I have always wanted to travel recently. I just went to Inner Mongolia in July, and I started planning to go to Shandong in August (all thanks to the strong support of my sisters and brothers-in-law).

This trip to Shandong was just to see the sea, so I planned to visit Qingdao-Weihai-Yantai. However, due to insufficient preparations (too much sun), I came back a day early, but was forced to return due to heavy rain. Stayed in Cangzhou for one day.

I originally planned to travel by train, but the direct trip from Beijing to Rushan takes thirteen hours and there are no sleepers, so I temporarily changed it to a self-driving trip. In this way, not only the time is reduced by half, but it is also more convenient to take the local route.

The day before departure, I printed out a map of Shandong Province. I first found out the places I thought were valuable from the geography manual in high school (to facilitate my next trip). After marking them, I focused on them. Three locations on this trip: Qingdao, Weihai, and Yantai.

First of all, I used Ctrip.com to find out the must-visit attractions in the three places, and selected several similar attractions suitable for children for everyone to choose from. Then calculate the time to the three places on Baidu Map and determine the route for several days. Finally, we imitated the travel arrangements made by travel agencies and group tours to determine the location and accommodation.

day1? Departure - Huangdao accommodation - sightseeing - dinner

day2? Huangdao Beach - Underwater World - Rushan accommodation

day3? Wake up naturally - Rushan Silver Beach - Rushan Accommodation

day4? Liugong Island (Yangma Island) - Bathing Beach - Hot Spring Accommodation

day5? Penglai - Return

However, the plan No matter how good things are, changes come quickly, and you have a lot of freedom without going with a group. I didn’t go to any of the scenic spots that were originally planned, and because of the children, many things were restricted, which led to a lot of regrets on this trip.

The first day

At four o'clock in the morning, the alarm rang on time. I am the kind of person who can wake up at what time I tell you. However, because I have children, when I set off, It's half past five. Still, all the back seats were put down, and we lay in the back to catch up on our sleep and eat while our brothers-in-law drove and navigated the car in front.

After more than eight hours of driving, we finally arrived at our first stop, Huangdao. We booked the apartment in advance, simply packed our things there, and the ladies put on their makeup and went out to eat.

I don’t remember what I ate at Wuyue Plaza. Meituan’s meal coupons and two large seafood set meals only cost more than 500 for five adults and two children. (There is only one picture, I don’t like taking pictures very much)

After dinner, we wanted to go to Silver Beach first, but they closed at six o’clock, so we had to go back to the apartment early and buy two decks of cards. play cards. As a result, the four card players, two bronzes and two kings, alternated and formed teams. In the end, it was a tie and they dispersed without interest.

The second day of the trip

Originally, I wanted to get up early to watch the sunrise. I am inexplicably obsessed with the sunrise. Maybe it is because I like the feeling of vitality and power. But the place where I live is a bit far away, no one is willing to accompany me, and Didi there is not very developed, so I gave up the idea.

It was past eight o'clock when we got up. We packed our things and applied sun protection, bought swimming rings and playthings for children, and a group of us set off in a grand way.

Only when we got there did we realize that it was quite hot. The guy who rented umbrellas and equipment was waiting in the parking lot early. When we entered, he chased after us to sell us rentals. Yes, we need an umbrella, but the tent on the beach is the real king. Without hesitation, we went out and bought a tent and pitched it on the beach as our base.

The sky is blue and the sea water is clear. The sun was hot, but we were in a determined mood to play. Not afraid of the scorching sun, heading straight to the sea is our truest action.

The crocodile was so cute that the little guy couldn’t get off it at all. The aunt and uncle picked him up and walked toward the sea together.

Later, the little guy finally went to play with his big shark. Datong and I sat on the crocodile, and the uncle pulled us and floated to the deeper water. As a result, a big wave came over accidentally, and we fell off the crocodile and were forced to drink sea water.

It’s so salty. This is my biggest feeling. I have been to the beach before and choked on the water, but this is definitely the saltiest sea water I have ever drunk. It tastes really bad.

The little guy has a shark swimsuit, and to match it, he also bought a shark swim ring. It’s so cute that you don’t need it.

My two sisters and I, plus my little nephew, made the photo beautiful.

Although the midday sun was scorching, we were sitting in the tent, eating the food brought back by my brother-in-law, blowing the sea breeze, and being accompanied by familiar family members. We were very happy.

After lunch, the little guy couldn't help feeling sleepy and started to take a nap. But after a while, he was woken up by the desire to play and was about to walk to the sea with his butt naked.

But the sun was too poisonous and everyone was sunburned. Considering the first day, we started to move to the next location without playing very late.

At this point, our first stop of the trip is over.

What unexpected surprises will there be at the second stop? The second part, let’s reminisce together
