There is no need to say anything except “looking forward to your next visit”, or just say nothing for farewell.
Who will not come again? Who will forget about the friendly visits, the stars, the memories, and the sleepless nights.
The waves are dancing, the Great Wall winds through the mountains, making an elegant and majestic scroll.

Watching the sunset in the sound of waves, and the sun rising above lush mountains in the morning.
The sea witnessed Qin Shi Huang seeking immortality, the mountains witnessed emperors pursuing the dream of strong country. Emperor Wu of Wei Dynasty Cao Cao, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin, and Chairman Mao Zedong have left poems for this land, demonstrating her beauty and majesty, making a scroll of the mountains and the sea with the unique charm for visitors.

Strolling along the wooden trestle by yourself, you will feel calm and relaxed, because there is no mad crowd and gossips around you, sing a song with the rhyme of the waves, and just move forward!
Birds are singing, breeze is blowing through the flowers and trees, bringing you the breath of water and fragrance, touching your face, embracing your waist and shoulders, it’s full of joy and happiness.
The sand dunes, wetlands, riffs, tidal flats... What treasures are hiding there?
The lovely islands, the surging waves, and the tender breeze are calling us to pay a visit.

“Nature is always the source of all beauty and the model of all art.” Look at the waves of the sea, homing to the unpredictable humanities and celestial phenomena, and covering a mysterious gauze.

The mountain village is tranquil naturally. The Bancheng town with blue tiles and eaves hides in the lush forest. The river water around the town is sprinkled with golden threads of morning light. It does not pass through deserts or treacherous beaches, only flows steadily at the foot of the Great Wall, nourishing the charm of the ancient town with simplicity and harmony. The winds in the morning or evening sometimes break the quietness, blowing away the moon marks, dissipating the stars, and staining the dawn, like an indenture of affection.
Living in the mountain village, you don’t have to wear make up or dress up, just do whatever you like, like singing or dancing, and find who you truly are. You will grow up in the mountainous scenery, your mind will open up as the time passing by.

There is a memorial hall hiding behind some tall trees on the side of the road, which is for the General Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty, who defeated the Japanese pirates, and rebuilt and guarded the Great Wall with his warriors from Yiwu, southeast China’s Zhejiang province.
After more than 20 generations, their descendants have thrived here as wild weeds, yet they never forget their hometowns.
The dusk is approaching, the mountains and the ancient pagoda is invisible, and the afterglow of the sunset smears a bunch of red on the blue bricks of the Great Wall, like blood, but it is richer, hotter, and heavier. The Great Wall connects with the history of the Chinese nation at one end and leads to the future of the Chinese nation at the other end.

Laojunding with full makeup is pure and beautiful.
The water was embraced by the mountains, and filled with a pool of agility. If you stay on the river bank, I would like to be a white horse, chewing calmly, and flicking my tail leisurely. If you rest by the spring, I would like to be a silver carp, hiding in the bottom of the water, chasing the light. My mind quivered among the water and grass, and I chased the fish over the moss on the rock, swimming to a secluded place upstream. The soft grass and sand on the beach are the silk carpets to soothe the soul. In the early morning, in the afternoon, and at dusk, I often stay there, reading, watching the water, or watching the clouds. I want to be a green tree, dancing with the wind when I am happy, and falling leaves when I am sad.

Human being is a part of nature. As Zhuang Zi once said, “Both man and nature are born naturally”, meaning that only by breaking the desires and barriers added to the heart can human return to nature, and by then you will see the world naturally.
Mountains and rivers encompass everything, and everything is encompassed by mountains and rivers. They embrace together tightly.
In the light all over the ground, I saw the shadow of time, the shape of the wind, and what in my heart.
I have no idea what stories will happen in the future. What I wrote for her are just a few words. Only the waves, the flowers and the birds can be still with the presence of time.
Shu Ting once wrote in her poem, “Everything now conceives the future, and everything in the future grows from its yesterday.” At this moment, the wind of vitality is blowing from the green fields, and the locust trees are rustling.
There is no doubt that the breath of fresh and sweet air is the flavor of Qinhuangdao.
