How can you not give yourself a winter trip this winter? So where is it suitable to go this winter? Which scenic spots are worth visiting? People often say Harbin in Northeast China is a good place to see snow, but I think it’s also great to see different scenery in Liaoning.
1、Lushun Binhao Road
Lushun Binhao Road is located at the westernmost end of Lushunkou District, Dalian, with a total length of five kilometers. At sunset, Binhao Road, adjacent to Dalian’s west coast, becomes the best place to watch the sunset. As the sun slowly sets, the sky and the sea slowly turn from a brilliant golden yellow to a soft red, until it completely sinks into the sea. It is breathtaking.
Recommended route: Enter Lushunkou District along Lushun Nan Road from Heishijiao, drive along Xincheng Street, enter Beima Line, and Binhao Road starts at the intersection of Guoshui Road.
2、Liaoning Qixing Wetland Binhao Road
From the center of Shenyang to Shenbei, pass Huanghebei Street, Daoyibei Street, Qixing Street, and then enter Yinshi Line from Qixing Street, go north all the way, until you reach Qixingshan in Shifo Township, Shenbei.
This is a Binhao Road where you can see both water and mountains. Drive slowly along the mother river of Liaoning, with flat Liaoning River alluvial plains on both sides, a vast expanse of fertile land.
The small islands in the water, seemingly absent, are a sight wherever you look.
On the south side of the Binhao Road, many paddy fields have been planted, so this place has become a bird paradise. Here, you will encounter many water birds that are rarely seen in other places. They soar and frolic here. Encounter a herd of cattle and sheep, and frighten away a flock of gulls.
Recommended self-driving route: Huanghebei Street – Daoyi – Qixing Street – Yinshi Line – Shifo Township Qixingshan.
3、Zhuanghe to Gaizhou Expressway
This is a 99-kilometer expressway located in southern Liaoning. The starting point is located northwest of Zhuanghe City, intersecting with Dandah Expressway, and the end point is connected to Shen Dah Expressway in Gaizhou. It closely connects Zhuanghe and Gaizhou.
This is a scenic expressway, with scenic spots all along the way, where you can see all the scenery of southern Liaoning. Including the Bingyu Scenic Area, Buyunshan Hot Spring, Tianmen Mountain, Chengshan Ancient City, Haiwang Jiudao, Shicheng Island, Heidao, Gelid Island, Shifoshan, Xiemashizhuang in Zhuanghe; Qinglongshan Tourist Area, Guizhou Baishawan, Yantongshan City and Xianrendao Forest Park in Gaizhou.
4、Lushun Cherry Blossom Viewing
The cherry blossom garden of Lushun 203 Scenic Area covers an area of nearly 500,000 square meters with more than 3,000 cherry blossom trees. It is currently the largest cherry blossom garden with the most cherry blossom trees and the most complete varieties in China and abroad.
Recommended route: Depart from Shenyang, turn onto Guoshui Road at Guojiaogou on Lushun Nan Road, go straight, and the 203 Scenic Area sign on the roadside is about 15 kilometers, turn right; or turn onto Guoshui Road from Lushun Bei Road, the same as above.
5、Benhuan Highway: The Chinese Maple Leaf Road
There is a famous Chinese Maple Leaf Road in Benxi. It is a provincial road with continuous mountains on both sides of the road. Golden larch, fiery red torch trees, ochre oak, purple maple, dark green pine, and the colorful red leaves are staggered, which is very beautiful when viewed from a distance.
The best time to enjoy the red leaves in Benxi is from the end of September to mid-October every year. During the red leaf viewing season of more than half a month, red, yellow and green leaves of various colors hang on branches or float in the ditches and streams, with extremely rich colors.
The Chinese Maple Leaf Road is the name of the road from Ben (Benxi) to Huan (Huanren) in Benxi City, Liaoning Province. It is a mountain valley road more than 30 kilometers long. Along this maple viewing road, there are large and small scenic spots known for their red leaves. Besides the well-known Guanmen Mountain Scenic Area in Benxi, Lao Biangou, Yanghugou, Dadi Forest Park and other maple viewing places are good places to go in autumn with fewer people.
Recommended self-driving route: Shen Dan Expressway – Benxi – Xiaoshi – Tianshifu – Nandian – Jianchang – Dongyingfang Township – Yanghugou
Self-driving travel tips
【Before departure】
Comprehensive vehicle inspection, learn to change tires
Maintenance technicians suggest that you should try to have your car inspected at a 4S store or repair shop before your trip. Car owners who have not had their cars inspected within a month before the trip can have their car “examined”. The most common items include tire inspection, brake inspection, headlight inspection, chassis inspection, and spare parts inspection. Reporters learned that most repair shops provide such services, and they are usually free of charge.
It is reported that the tires are the easiest part of the car to have problems during self-driving trips. Pay special attention to checking the spare tire, whether the rubber is aging, whether the tire pressure is sufficient, and whether the tools for changing tires are carried with you. During your journey, you should also pay attention to the condition of the tires, such as when you rest at a service area on the highway, get out of the car and walk around the car to see if the tires are flat. If you encounter a problem with the tires in a place with no villages or shops nearby, you have to change the tire yourself. Therefore, people who are preparing for a self-driving trip can go to the 4S store and let the staff teach you step by step, so that you can cope with the situation if it happens.
【During the journey】
A tow rope, solves big problems
Besides the necessary car inspection before departure, what else is essential equipment for long-distance travel? The answer from experienced traveler Zhang is: a tow rope.
“Once, the car got stuck in a pit, and several people couldn’t push it up, so we had to use a rope to tie it to another car and tow it out.” At that time, there were many passing vehicles, but most drivers did not have a tow rope. Zhang and his friends searched for a long time before they found a tow rope. Zhang said: “Since then, I’ve always kept a tow rope in my car. Many times, it’s not that there’s no car to help tow the car, but that there’s no tow rope.” It is understood that such tow ropes are available in most 4S stores and repair shops, and they are not expensive and do not take up much space.
【After returning】
Repair three parts
After returning from your holiday, car owners should also remember to have their car serviced. Three reminders for car owners:
Scratches should be painted over promptly
Paint is not only for aesthetics, but also for its more important function of preventing rust. During your holiday trip, due to your unfamiliarity with the road surface or poor road conditions, your car may be scratched or dented on the outside, especially in the front bumper area. If a collision occurs, the car owner should have the outside painted promptly.
Damaged tires should be scrapped
After long-distance driving, you should check the tire pressure and balance, and also check for signs of aging, cracking or damage. Tires with severe wear should be scrapped promptly.
“Three liquids” should be checked and replenished frequently
After long-distance travel, the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid of the car may be depleted. If there is a shortage, it should be replenished promptly. If the engine oil is too dirty, the new oil and new filter should be replaced.
