| Qinhuangdao Yutian Qilihai, Fun for the Whole Family! Looking for a place to relax and vacation with the whole family this weekend? You can't go wrong with the Yutian Qilihai Resort in Qinhuangdao. There are plenty of fun activities here, so both the elderly and children can find enjoyment!
📍 Location: Located in Beidaihe New District, Qinhuangdao, with convenient transportation whether you drive or take the high-speed train. If driving, the parking lot is huge, so no worries about parking 🚗
🎫 Ticket Information: Adult tickets are 99 RMB, children under 1.2 meters and seniors over 70 enter for free, offering great value. You can also check official channels for discount packages like parent-child tickets or family packages to save a lot of money 💰
🏨 Accommodation Options:
- Wanda Lan Giraffe Resort Hotel: Highly recommended! The rooms are cozy and comfortable, and the biggest surprise is being neighbors with giraffes. You can even have breakfast with giraffes in the Giraffe Restaurant in the morning, which will surely excite the kids to scream with joy. However, only guests staying in giraffe rooms can access the VIP dining area where you can feed the giraffes; window-side scenic seats require early arrival to reserve.
- Qili Suji: A unique courtyard with a theme for each yard, including Moroccan and artistic styles, perfect for taking beautiful photos. The rooms are fully equipped and very comfortable to stay in.
🕙 Itinerary:
- Day 1:
- Morning: After check-in, head to the Long Neck Park to interact closely with giraffes, feed them carrots, and enjoy the non-powered rides in the park for some parent-child fun. Then go to Animal Broadway; arrive 30 minutes early to get a good seat and watch adorable pet shows like alpaca fashion shows and parrot arithmetic 🐒
- Noon: Taste delicious food at Yutian Wonder Street, which gathers local snacks and full meals such as cloud bread, Turkish ice cream, teppanyaki squid, and a seafood feast to satisfy the whole family’s tastes.
- Afternoon: Take a sightseeing boat (45 RMB/person) through the Qilihai lagoon, enjoy the water-themed drama "Time Performance" along the way, then disembark to feed the popular capybaras at the Capybara Forest Friends Club. Afterwards, try fishing and catching fish at the Fishing Water Village for a fun little fisherman experience.
- Evening: Arrive early at Celebration Garden to watch a stunning fireworks show combining traditional fireworks with sound, light, and electric technology, creating a magnificent spectacle. After the fireworks, go to the Fisherman’s Fire Theater to watch the intangible cultural heritage iron flower performance and feel the charm of traditional craftsmanship. Finally, stroll through the Starlight Market to pick up shell handicrafts and other souvenirs 🎁
- Day 2:
- Morning: Join the Fishing Culture Workshop to make fishing nets by hand, learn about ancient fishing culture, and experience traditional fishing methods. Then take photos at the terraced flower sea, where the colorful blooms are perfect for pictures 📷
- Noon: Try specialty foods like kiln-baked pizza and almond tofu, or enjoy a fresh seafood feast at a seafood restaurant.
- Afternoon: Visit six newly refreshed scenes including the Marine Ranch and Hot Spring Bath Travel. Highly recommend trying the "fluoride-type mild hot spring," soaking in 55°C natural spring water to relieve travel fatigue. Then watch the water flying show, where stunt performers flip and maneuver on water, super thrilling. Afterwards, take a leisurely walk along Water Street · East Square, have afternoon tea, and enjoy a relaxing time ☕
🎈 Tips for Visiting:
1. Check the official resort WeChat public account for show schedules in advance to plan your itinerary and avoid missing exciting performances.
2. Parents with kids should bring several sets of clothes for changing, as the water play area can get wet.
3. On sunny days, rent a Hanfu costume to take ancient-style photos in the quaint town; the blue hour light at dusk is especially beautiful.
4. Some activities require extra fees, such as horse riding at 30 RMB per round. It’s recommended to buy package tickets including boat rides in advance for better value.
Come to Yutian Qilihai Resort and spend a relaxing and joyful weekend with your family. We believe you will create wonderful memories!
