I have long been going to write a review about the trip to Baidayhe. Were with the family in 2014, in 2016 and this summer of 2017. Were almost at the same time - the end of July - the beginning of August. The trip is our plane from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, through Vladivostok, through Beijing (here for another three days stopped) and by train two hours before Baidayhe.
Always stayed at the Hotel Open. Beach is 10 minutes go.
Baidayhe, as a beach holiday place we really like. Quiet, calm, purely. Good yellow sea. Because This is a place where government officials are resting, a lot of attention is paid to security. A lot of police and military patrols go. Feel protected.
Since 2014, changes have been changed, maybe neither cardinal, something closes, something new appears. Guides say that Russian tourists have become little compared to 2014. So in 2014, the restaurants of Maxim and Marina restaurants were popular with Russians, in 2016 they united, in the center of Badayhehe one restaurant was, called "Maxim" or "Marina", I did not understand, and anyway. But in 2017, they again disconnected, "Marina" remained in the center, and Maxim became so far from the center that we went to it just a couple of times, uncomfortable. The owners remained the same. But "Marina", in our opinion, "spoiled", were three times, waited long, some kind of bustle, noise. As a result, began to go to Harbin, right in front of Marina. There is clean, calm, quiet, fast.
In a large shopping center, near a circular movement, where the flower bed with the Olympic rings, also changes, compared with 2016. On the first floor they made a big catering point, you can also eat well, but the food here is Chinese, a lot of seafood, soups can be scored and welded, but for ignorance you can run into acute food, from which in the stomach is on two more than two hours. And it is interesting, somewhere from 15-30 to 16-30, they like rest, and many workers simply sleep on chairs, although it is not written about anything about the break.
Still that rushed into the eyes, the Chinese began to fight smoking and garbage. Many posters calling no smoking and not to sift. It is very pleased. Although the hotel was smoked directly in the corridors, which grieves.
On the streets, there are a lot of special people with long tongs and collect trash, even the one, by whom will pass and not notice. And there are a lot of them on the beach. After that, personally, our hand does not rise anything to quit past the urn.
I want to say about the beach. The beach was cleaner, also on the shore a lot of posters "do not smoke", "not to sift", "do not care."
And really very few Chinese smoke on the beach, to be honest, I did not see them, just a massage the beach smoked, and that's it. But now the Russians smoke, especially many women, bulls throw or buried in the sand, very unpleasant from this spectacle, that the Chinese think about us, "for the power of the shame." Although garbage tanks are near, in 3 meters.
In addition to the beach holiday, you can go on a bus to the "City" of Qinhuangdao, go shopping, just like the city. Prices for travel rose, in 2014 and 2016 with Baidayhehe to Qinhuangdao ticket cost 2 yuan, then in 2017 - 3 yuan. And in Badyhehe itself, from 1 yuan to 2 rose passing bus. And there were still tourist buses number 1 and No. 2 on Baidayhe, they can immediately be distinguished from ordinary, something on the tram is similar, in retro style. In it, the passage of 20 yuan is worth. There, with a Chinese guide, you can drive, it is for the Chinese.
In general, everything, too, also at 20-00 in the Olympic Park begins light-music fountains and at the end of the cartoon in the air. In the center also a water panel, on which the hieroglyphs are discharged from the water. Also a waterfall near the bus station. In the Lantern Park, the same ideas as before.
We like this holiday place. And next year we plan somewhere and finish in Baidayhe.
