2025 Xing'an County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

I've tried it for everyone, this B&B was recommended by a friend. I've always been scared of B&Bs, thinking that many of them are overhyped. I usually prefer staying in star-rated hotels, feeling assured about the environment and facilities. Luckily, this time I didn't step on a landmine. Take the high-speed train to Xing'an North, the B&B is about 50 kilometers from Xing'an North, it takes about an hour by car, suitable for self-driving, but calling a car is also very convenient. The hotel has a sense of design, with simple decoration, surrounded by green mountains and streams, and you can play in the water just outside the door. The hotel has its own swimming pool, and the boss changes the water every night, which deserves real-name praise. You can see the beautiful scenery outside the window from every corner of the room, super beautiful. The toiletries are horse oil, which is also quite good. The meals at the B&B are very good, breakfast is rice noodles with egg and corn, other meals can be ordered, just tell the boss on WeChat what time you want to eat in advance, and it's ready when you get back, simply too cool. The B&B also has nice coffee, you can drink iced Americano when you wake up in the morning, this life is just too cool! So happy, thanks to my friend's recommendation, this holiday has been much happier because of this place! Love]

It was actually part of a staycation deal that we signed up with a tour group. Situated among the rice 🌾 fields, we had two options to leave behind our bags 🛍️ so porters will help to bring things up or, we sweat it out to make this worth it 😎. We chose the second, and hiked with some nice view of the field. The hotel was nice with all the amenities, but as it is summer and bit of moisture there; 🐝 insects problem was there. Again, we went for a evening 🥾 hike into seven head dragon trail (yes, that was the name 😉) only to meet a wriggling stranger with hiss sound 🐍. It was fun though !! #hikefreak #chinatravel #summervacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
