Beidaihe - a place very cozy, quiet, with houses in 3-4 floors, parks and restaurants. In search of new impressions, one must sometimes get out of the comfort zone of a resort rest and independently study another country. Coming to China (which by economic power is considered the center of the world economy), I want to see its noisy cities, even if not so huge as Beijing or Hong Kong.
Beidaihe itself is not a city, but the district of Qinhuangdao City District, to the center of which we went. There was no huge impassable crowd of Chinese there. Everything is pretty quiet, and this is with a population of 2.8 million people.
Even it seemed strange: the center, the shopping area (which is not even the type of Russian Manchuria), around residential arrays with skyscrapers in 35 and> floors, but where are people? After all, someone lives in these huge high buildings? It seemed like in the movies on the pedestrian crossing there will be people that will not squeeze out 😆 But no. Only motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles.
