Recommended Spring Festival activities in Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan

During the Spring Festival, Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan also held some activities here. If you come here for a trip, there are a lot of fun things waiting for you. Whether you want to enjoy the scenery or participate in activities, you can find everything here. How fun? The editor will introduce you!

Old Dragon Head

The old dragon head in Shanhaiguan, covered by ice and snow, is still full of vitality, adding to the tranquility and warmth. Walking on the rime avenue, the pine trees are covered with a layer of gorgeous clothes in the snow, as if they are composing a winter love song, elegant and holy, like a fairyland. As an old faucet in the eastern part of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty, you can actually see crystal clear sea ice in winter. Stand up and look out into the distance, watching the mountains and seas rise and fall, as if you are going back in time. At that time, Qin Huang traveled east to Jieshi and passed Qinhuangdao. He also sent Lu Sheng, Harem and others to the sea to seek the elixir of immortality, so it was named Qinhuangdao. Walk along the seaside, reminisce about the past, and look for the beautiful and profound taste of the winter sea!

Ice and Snow Carnival

From the end of December to February 10, 2008, there were many ice and snow carnivals in Shanhaiguan Laolongtou Scenic Area. Even if you don’t have skiing skills, you can get up close to the ice and snow and have fun all winter long! You can enjoy skiing on the snow track, challenge the Bagua maze, or you can try the fast and furious snowmobile, snowmobile in your childhood, or build a snowman in winter, have a snowball fight with the whole family, and return to the simple joy of childhood! The most surprising thing is that there was no price increase during the Chinese New Year, and the off-season ticket price of 20 yuan was still implemented. All-in-one cards can also be used normally. So considerate!

The Ancient City Annual Expo

During the 2018 Spring Festival, a 9-meter-long giant Spring Festival couplet was hung on the majestic gate of "The First Pass in the World". The staff at the door dressed as soldiers from the Ming Dynasty guarded the pass and processed customs clearance documents for tourists. In the square, there are loud gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances, land boat races, local Yangko, monkeys playing sticks, drum music, shadow puppets, and scenes of crossing the Guandong. Not only that, but also adding fresh trendy elements! Not only the popular roly-poly sister, but also the Shanhaiguan original painting sister, and other performances such as Hanfu dance! Let people who like traditional New Year customs enjoy the strong flavor of the New Year, and let young people have a popular New Year!

Marching Food Mud Pot

When you come to Shanhaiguan, the first pass in Qinhuangdao, you must try an authentic mud pot. This is the marching delicacy brought by the Qing army entering the pass. In an era of material scarcity, local people could only eat it during the Chinese New Year. Nowadays, clay pots are becoming more and more abundant, including fat but not greasy pork belly, meatballs made from more elastic meat, sauerkraut made from local cabbage, minced chicken nuggets from free-range crispy chicken, octopus, crab, frozen Tofu, braised chicken, prawns, dried seaweed, stuffed pork ribs. The dipping sauces are also quite rich and exquisite, including sesame sauce, fermented bean curd, chive flowers, hot sauce, sugared garlic, coriander powder, etc. All the dipping sauces went well together and Red, Green and Green were very happy. Remember to serve it with this crispy sesame pancake. It’s so enjoyable and satisfying!

Okay, do you understand? There are temple fairs, snow activities and delicious food here. I believe you will like it.
