This is one of the few national gateway scenic areas in China that simultaneously boasts both railway and highway ports; it's also home to the first crossing point during the Korean War; visitors can see the railway gateway and the former bridgehead ruins, and enjoy panoramic views of Manpo, North Korea, from the riverbank; they can also take a cruise to get a closer look at the opposite bank, creating a strong historical atmosphere.

A great place to learn about the history of Goguryeo, including the Stele of King Gwanggaeto, the Tomb of King Jangsu, and Wandu Mountain Fortress. The 5A-level scenic area has good service, but each attraction is somewhat limited, so you'll finish visiting them quickly.

During the National Day holiday, I brought my parents and children to the small town of Meihekou to visit the famous Zhibei Village. When I showed the old houses to the elderly, they were particularly moved. The old objects brought them back a lot of memories.

It's a 4A scenic area, definitely worth seeing. The people of Ji'an are incredibly hospitable, and the border town is quite clean, tidy, and orderly. The scenery at Wunü Peak is also nice, although it's not yet the season for red maple leaves. The electric cart ride for 30 yuan is definitely worthwhile; it's inexpensive, saves a lot of energy compared to walking the mountain paths, and is very convenient for the elderly.

It's great, really great. You can visit on the hour; if you arrive early, they won't let you in. They check your ID at the entrance, and the exhibits are quite good. Lots of liquor! 🪣. The liquor at the entrance is a bit pricey; you can buy a few bottles to try, but for bulk orders, buy online—the prices vary wildly! Worth visiting; antiques and artifacts.

I went to Triceratops Bay more than ten years ago. It was very nice, cool, and there were few tourists.
I went there again more than ten years later, and there were even fewer people. Why don't people go to such a good place?
Changchun is too hot this year. It's so stuffy that I can't live. The whole family came to Triceratops Bay to escape the heat. It's so cool in the woods.
The scenic area is not big overall, the road is flat, and there are boats. There are several steep steps. Those who can't climb can choose not to go up. My mother waited for us to get down the mountain.
In fact, I feel that going to Triceratops Bay is not for sightseeing, but mainly for the good air and to breathe😃😃😃

You can see a burial complex dating back approximately 1500 years and remnants of city walls from about 1700 years ago, but only the foundations of the palace remain. It seems the view overlooking the burial complex from above the hilltop is currently closed, so without this perspective, the burial complex isn't as spectacular as it appears.

Truly worthy of being called the Pyramids of the East! A World Heritage Site! The Goguryeo Royal Tombs! Magnificent and grand! Thousands of massive stones, terraced granite, standing for thousands of years—truly awe-inspiring. The scenic area is very clean, and there are even elementary school student volunteer guides who explain things in a detailed and easy-to-understand way!

Sifangdingzi in autumn is truly worth a visit; the scenery is breathtaking, a blend of historical depth and natural beauty, offering a chance to explore its pristine charm. The shuttle bus zips along narrow roads, its swaying from side to side showcasing the driver's skill and years of experience. The driver offers helpful travel advice, and the uncles maintaining order will assist with carrying children—the warmth and hospitality of Northeast China are evident in every detail. Next time, I'd like to stay at a nearby hotel to experience the sunrise and sunset; it would be absolutely stunning.

The autumn scenery on the mountain during the National Day holiday is good, with colorful red, yellow and green colors, and the lake is beautiful. It is recommended to go there on a sunny day. Personally, I think the lake tour is average, the cost performance is not high, and there are many steps to climb after getting off the boat, which is a bit strenuous for the elderly
