April of Beidaihe District is a month with beautiful flowers, clear lakes and rivers and sees the beginning of new life. Besides the beautiful natural scenery, a “revolution” of tourist attractions just began.
This year, in order to promote the hardware facilities, management ability, tourist-hosting standard and international competitiveness of old-brand tourist attractions, Beidaihe district boosts the upgrading of its local tourist attractions to a “5A” level. It attaches importance to the upgrading and management system reform of the tourist attractions, many old-brand scenic spots are totally refreshed thanks to this project.
Dove Nest Park of Beidaihe is one of the major attractions that goes through all-round upgrading. The park is upgraded under the guidance of “5A Tourist Attraction” standard. It builds 7 new environmental friendly washrooms, improves the tourist center and post houses, repairs historical buildings, plants many plants and installs many lightings. Other than the above moves, the park also integrates the nearby birds’ museum, wetland reserve and a 5.5 kilometer coastline from Jinwu Bath to the Chitushan Bridge into its original park area, forming a new Dove Nest Park. The original Dove Nest Park, the birds’ museum and wetland reserve are closed-type spots, covering an area of over 1.49 square kilometers. The 5.5-kilometer coastline from Jinwu Bath to the Chitushan Bridge, on the other hand, is an open-type spot. The new Dove Nest Park has a total area of 3.17 square kilometers, 0.7 square kilometers are the land area and 2.47 are the beach area.
Meanwhile, the park will introduce famous restaurant brands into the park and add high-end services to the park, making the park not only good for traveling, shopping and entertaining, but also characterized by business, self-relaxation, studying ad exploring, leisure, good moods and special attractions. After upgrading, the Park’s tour time will increase from one hour to two or more hours.
The other two ole-brand tourist attractions—Lianfengshan Park and Jifa Agricultural Sightseeing Garden is also undergoing an upgrading project.
We see from the Lianfengshan Park that a new, large-scale tourist center is being built. Ticket office will be included in the new tourist center. The old ticket office will be upgraded, forming a new open-type park with new entrance landscapes for tourists to stay and relax. What’s more, the park is installing new water-supply pipelines, expanding new water system and building 4 more washrooms.
With the development of Beidaihe educational camp, the Jifa Agricultural Sightseeing Garden combines its ecological farming with the camp education, transforming its original 4000-square meter distribution center into a natural education camp. Moreover, the Garden adopts the natural camp and study and research education and plans a theme park designed for study and outdoor group training. The park is also building a new 3D vegetable art hall, an environmental science hall suitable for teenagers and a 3000-square meter amusement park for children of different ages. The original traditional custom garden is redesigned to shoulder the functions like agricultural education, study and research center and traditional commodity selling. At present, all the upgrading projects of Jifa Garden are under steady construction.
