Departure point: Shenyang City, Liaoning Province
Transportation: 33 yuan/person by train, 50 yuan/person by bus
Saturday, August 1, 2009, burdened with nearly a month of preparation and Looking forward to it, my family and I finally boarded the train to Xiong Yue early this morning.
Before this trip, I made up my mind to write down some of my experiences on this trip. The purpose is to provide help and advice to some people who want to go to Xiong Yue, even if it is just a little bit.
This trip to Xiongyue is generally as follows: go to Jinshatan Beach at noon on Saturday, swim at the beach in the afternoon, stay at Jinshatan Beach in the evening, go to Xiaoyu Hot Spring on Sunday morning, and return to Shenyang in the afternoon.
At 5:00 in the morning, I got up on time and started packing my bags; at 5:30, my four-year-old daughter also got up by herself (poorly, my daughter always kept mental notes at a young age, usually in order to go to kindergarten You can play on the swing without queuing, and you get up early on time, every day, rain or shine). After packing our things, our family took a taxi to Shenyang Station. We checked in at around 7 o'clock and the train left on time at 7:15.
Pictured above: There is no waste in this big bag, it is all food.
The K7382 new express air-conditioned train costs 33 yuan per person. Children under 110 cm without a seat do not need a ticket. It is really not as good as the express, the speed is not fast, and it must stop at every station, but fortunately there are seats. There is air conditioning, there are not many people standing, and the journey is quite pleasant. At 10:30, the train arrived at Xiongyuecheng (Xiongyuecheng Railway Station is really small, there is only one flight of stairs from getting off the bus to the exit). As soon as I got out, I was confused by all the minibuses going to various beaches in Xiongyue, and I had long forgotten about it. I went to the train ticket office to buy a return ticket first, and then stepped on the minibus to Jinshatan Beach. It cost 3 yuan per person, 15 yuan for five adults. Children did not need a ticket if they had no seats. It was almost half a mile away. It took more than an hour to arrive at Golden Beach. By the way, I want to mention that the roads in Xiongyue are still very good, especially there are very few vehicles, and there are no taxis on the road. They are all small three-wheelers, but they are not fast. There is a nearly 1,000-meter road to Jinshatan Beach that is really difficult to walk. It is a big dirt road with ditches and bumps. If the minibus hadn't slowed down, it might have gone flying, so self-driving people should not drive a car with a low chassis, because you Simply can't get through it. However, the passenger cars here are quite particular about driving. They are much better than those in Shenyang. At least Xiong Yue passenger cars will slow down when they reach corners and will not drive too fast. The conductors who pick up and drop off passengers will not use their hands to push...
When I arrived at Golden Beach, I was a little disappointed. Not to mention the dusty dirt road, there was no decent hotel nearby, all were farmhouses, and it was a Saturday, so the room was very tight, so I ran around , and finally found the only room that could accommodate five adults. My plan: one room for three people and one room for two people, was completely in vain. I was exhausted and couldn’t find it. No matter, they were all family members anyway, even if there were both men and women, it was still okay. I didn’t pay much attention to the other conditions, so I hurriedly paid 110 yuan (100 yuan for the room, 10 yuan for the key deposit) and went straight to the beach.
I haven’t been to the beach for almost ten years. Even if Xiongyue Beach is not very beautiful and not very clean, it can still excite me. I need to find a place to set up a tent first. I just started to set it up, and here comes one. The woman said that this place has been contracted and tents cannot be set up. If you want to set up a tent, you will be charged 20 yuan for the land. I have heard this kind of thing on the Internet a lot, so I was not too surprised. I bargained and gave me 10 yuan. . After setting up the tent and changing into my swimming suit, I rushed into the sea without putting on a lifebuoy. I like the waves of the sea the most, making me feel the most free. After playing and eating together, I returned to the farmhouse I just rented in the afternoon. Only then did I realize that there was no hot water for taking a shower, just tap water. I regretted it while washing, what a flat place! 55555! My daughter got tired from playing, so she went into the house and fell asleep.
Xiongyue must be a beach after all, and the seafood is still very fresh. However, there is only one stall that sells beach food regularly. It is very expensive. I probably also bought some scales and bought five sea crabs (I don’t know much about seafood, so I don’t know what kind they are. ), 50 yuan per pound, 140 yuan per pound. Other seafood types were sold out, so we had to go to the beach to see if there were any fishermen who went out to sea. We bought another two pounds of shrimp crawlers from the fishermen, and they came back, 20 yuan. One kilogram, my husband said he also saw a huge crab, which cost 40 yuan a piece, and the counter-offer was 30 yuan. They didn't sell it, and he didn't buy it either (it doesn't matter, I don't like crabs). Compared with seafood sellers, processed seafood is everywhere. When I returned to the farmhouse where I rented, I ordered two more dishes for 5 yuan a pot. To eat rice, it cost 60 yuan per day. By the way, the portion is quite large and the fried food is delicious, but the crabs are not very fat and the shrimp clams are very good. The ones from the seaside and Shenyang City What a different taste! Another point is that when you swim at the Golden Beach, there will always be fishing boats docked selling seafood for 20 yuan a pound. There is also a speedboat that costs 50 yuan per person and will take you for a ride in the sea. I didn’t take a ride, but I think the business is pretty good and there are a lot of people going back and forth.
After dinner, it’s evening. Xiongyue Golden Beach has a bit of the style of the Changbai area in Shenyang a few years ago. Almost every house has an open-air karaoke OK. We played with various sounds and tones. Walking to the beach, I found that the Golden Beach is still very lively at night, with fireworks, sky lanterns, dancing, and bonfire parties. The sea water has receded. Standing on the shore during the day, I can no longer see where the sea water has receded. I stayed there for a while and it was boring. I went back to sleep at about 9 o'clock. I thought that the karaoke next to it would affect my sleep, but I didn't expect it. , I slept well. Although there was no air conditioning in the room, it was still cool and there were no mosquitoes.
The next morning, I woke up at around 4 o'clock. This is my habit. As long as I go out, no matter how late I sleep, I will definitely wake up very early the next morning. Besides, I woke up very early last night. I went to bed very early, so I felt refreshed. After washing up, I quickly ran to the beach. There will be many gadgets on the beach after the tide goes out. On the way, there were already people in twos and threes going to the beach. When they got to the beach, there were even more people. There are small holes and small sand balls everywhere on the beach. If you go inside and dig into a larger hole, you can dig out slightly larger crabs. The ones here are slightly larger, that is, about 3 centimeters in length. There are also so many little rainbows that die before they grow up, which is a pity. There were some brave people who walked into the depths of the sea, and there were also fishermen, but they probably couldn't catch any decent fish, just some small, thin fish two or three centimeters long.
Back at the farmhouse, I wanted to have some breakfast, so I asked about the price. It cost 6-7 yuan per person, and it consisted of steamed buns, porridge and pickles. After calculation, it was not suitable, so I decided to eat in front of the station. .
Summary of the trip to Xiongyue Golden Beach: The beach at Golden Beach is average, with some garbage, and I even picked up a piece of broken glass near the tent (I'm afraid); the sea water is average, there are many people, and the sea water is nearly ten meters It is a mixture of sand and seawater, but the seawater is not very deep. When the tide rises in the afternoon, there will be no one tens of meters away. When the tide goes out, it is even shallower. The sand in the seawater is very fine. The only drawback is that Sometimes I step on big logs or something. My skin was sunburned here. It was red, painful, and hot to the touch. Therefore, I would like to remind people who want to go swimming at the beach to be prepared for sun protection and put it on when they go ashore. Bath towel, otherwise it will be very painful. The accommodation conditions here are really average, there is no hot water, no private bathroom, the toilet is a dry toilet, and the bathroom is next to the toilet. The smell is really..., and it is not clean and dirty. However, if you want to play in Golden Beach, it is really inconvenient not to live in a farmhouse, because the transportation here is not very convenient. There are minibuses to and from the train station and Golden Beach only during the day. There is no transportation at all if it is too early or too late. Tools, except those who drive themselves, of course, so if you want to stay here, it is best to book a room in advance, and you may be able to book an air-conditioned room.

To be continued (Xiaoyu Hot Spring Trip)
On August 2, a group of 6 of us continued our bear tour Today’s destination for the Yue trip is Xiaoyu Hot Spring. I have seen many reports about Xiaoyu Hot Spring on the Internet. I am yearning for it and jumped on the earliest minibus back to the train station (probably around 6 a.m., probably It departs at irregular times. I saw a few minibuses waiting next to the Golden Beach early. There is no need to wait until the seats are full before driving, because they will take a lot of people on the road). ?
After a half-bumpy, half-smooth drive, we arrived at the train station. Everyone was hungry, so we found a restaurant that advertised authentic Hangzhou steamed dumplings and had breakfast. We had three bowls of mung bean rice porridge and three drawers of steamed buns. , plus two plates of pickles and a bottle of soda for 19 yuan each, it’s not a bad meal. During this period, I also went to the ticket office of the train station to inquire about the train back to Shenyang in the evening. Unfortunately, there were no seats. I also asked about the passenger bus, which was said to cost 50 yuan per person and run once an hour. I felt relieved, as long as there was a vehicle for the return journey. I took two small three-wheelers (taxis were really hard to find, and the six of us couldn’t fit in one, and we were a bit afraid of getting ripped off) to Xiaoyu Hot Spring, asking for the price. It’s 7 yuan, and when it comes to 6 yuan, it’s 12 yuan per car for two cars. The Internet says that Xiong Yue’s small three-wheeler can run all over the city for 5 yuan, but that doesn’t seem to be possible, because after talking for a long time, it didn’t reach 5 yuan. After a frightening ride all the way, we arrived at Xiaoyu Hot Spring in about 20 minutes. ?
We arrived relatively early, at eight o'clock. There were very few people at this time, there were only two cars in the parking lot, and there were no people in the lobby. The two pictures above were taken after we came out of Xiaoyu Swimming Pool. Around 11 o'clock, there were more and more people. Two buses could no longer come in and were parked outside the gate. The parking lot was even more crowded. The same goes for the lobby inside. So those who want to come to Xiaoyu Hot Spring should come early, the early bird catches the worm. ?
The purpose of my coming to Xiaoyu is to take a wild bath. The prices are basically as follows: swimming pool + bathing is 20 yuan/person, half price for children; bathing bath is 20 yuan/person; wild bathing old pool A room for 4 people costs 200 yuan/3 hours, and each additional adult costs 50 yuan, and children are free; a room for 4 people in the new wild bathing pool costs 500 yuan/3 hours, and each additional adult costs 100 yuan, and children are free; there seems to be other items, but there is no I remember clearly, it seems to be picking, cycling activities or something. By the way, the accommodation here is really expensive. When I came here, the retail price was 412 yuan per room, which is the standard room level of ordinary star-rated hotels in Shenyang.
For wild bathing, all the old pools here have been booked. After looking at the new pool, it seems that the only difference between the old pool and the old pool is new decoration, so I booked the old pool after 12 noon. I looked at my watch. It was still early. I was going to go to the swimming pool. When I returned to the lobby, I happened to meet a tour group. Dozens of people were gathered around the swimming pool door that hadn’t opened yet, waiting for it to open. 8: 40. The swimming pool is open. I really can’t squeeze in those people. After waiting for a while, I bought a ticket and entered the swimming pool.?
The main entrance of the swimming pool
The condition of the swimming pool is pretty good. There are bathing pools and fish spa pools inside. The hot spring water in the museum is also good, blue and blue, but a bit deep. The shallow water area is too deep, and the deep water area is too deep and there are many people. After swimming for more than two hours, I turned back to the lobby. ?

The highlight of this trip to Xiong Yue is coming. -------Wild bathing! It's really good, it looks good, feels good, and the environment is good. It's different from the public bath. Not to mention the separate private rooms, the hot spring water is new for every guest, and the hot and cold water can be controlled automatically. ? Introduction to the row of pictures above:
Picture 1: The exterior view of the most expensive new pond; Picture 2: The exterior view of the second most expensive new pond; Picture 3: The pond outside the wild bathing pool; Pictures 4 and 5: Exterior view of Laochi; Pictures 6, 7, and 8: Laochi rest room; Picture 9: Laochi washroom; Pictures 10 and 11: Laochi outdoor hot spring pool.
The three-hour wild bathing in Xiaoyu Hot Spring is really worth the trip. I personally think this is the best place in Xiongyue. It is said that wild bathing is the best in winter, but it also feels good in summer.
It feels really good to have a bath together as a family! Moreover, the weather has been beautiful these two days, and the sun is shining brightly when I go to the beach! Come to the outdoor hot springs when the weather is cool! It started raining in Yingkou on the way home!
Star recommendation: 5 stars.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, we rushed to the train station after soaking in the hot springs. We also rented two small three-wheelers for 12 yuan each. However, when we arrived at the train station, there were no buses returning to Shen. After asking around, we found out that there were many buses returning to Xiongyue in the morning, but not in the afternoon, and there were none at Xiongyue Passenger Terminal either. I had no choice but to go check out the train, but the huge crowd of people at the ticket office made me hesitate. Back outside, fortunately, there were many people going back to Shenyang, and everyone was waiting to pick up the bus. Finally, at 6 o'clock in the evening, we got on a sinking air-conditioned bus, which cost 50 yuan per person. My daughter was exhausted and slept on my and my husband's lap the whole way. I got off the bus at exactly 8:30 pm and got home at 9:00.
To summarize this trip to Xiongyue:
The first recommendation is Xiaoyu Hot Spring! However, during the conversation with the tricycle driver, he said that the iron therapy is the best hot spring in the area. There are also wild bathing private rooms, but I have never been there. Xiaoyu is also good. According to the locals, the best is the iron therapy. Xiaoyu is similar to it, saying that iron therapy is more expensive than Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu Hot Spring is very suitable for self-driving travel, or the entire Xiongyue City is more suitable for self-driving travel, because the transportation in Xiongyue City is not very developed, there are not many taxis, and sometimes you can’t find them; small three-wheelers Well, the safety factor is still relatively low; for buses, to be honest, I only saw 204 all the way. I don’t know if it’s really just this one, or there are others that I didn’t see.
I don’t recommend anything at Xiongyue Golden Beach. I don’t know about other beaches. It’s just that there are very few things that can be dug at the golden beach when the tide is low. There are no other beaches where you can find a crab when the tide goes out. phenomenon. In fact, the beach is not bad, but there is too much garbage, and the sea water is not bad, but the fishing boats coming and going too frequently make me feel unsafe. I dare not drift in the sea with my eyes closed, because I have to worry about the fishing boats coming and going and their boats. anchor! I feel that charging land fees is very uncomfortable, but there is no other way. I heard that Huludao charges 50 yuan.
In terms of accommodation, Xiongyue is really high and low, but I still saw a lot of other hotels in the city, and the conditions seemed to be OK. It is recommended that friends who drive by themselves go to places that are not scenic spots. Find a hotel.
