Because I am from Weihai, this is my second visit to Liu Gongdao. I was anxious for the first time, but I didn't enjoy myself. Besides, I'm not familiar with Liu Gongdao. Many routes have gone the wrong way, and they don't know much about various offers. This time is better. With my last experience, my trip was particularly smooth.
First, let's talk about where to take a boat. People who have been to Liu Gongdao before may know that the pier is a little south of the harbor, but last year, the Liu Gongdao Passenger Transport Center moved to the northeast of Raul Middle School, and they had to go there by boat. You can take bus No.32 at Hualian Station in the city center and get off at the terminal.
Tickets. Let's talk about tickets. The ticket price is still 138 yuan/person. 138 yuan includes island-wide boat tickets and scenic spot tickets. The price is not expensive either.
It takes about 15 minutes to reach Liu Gongdao by boat.
As soon as sightseeing bus leaves the waiting hall on the island, you will see a row of sightseeing bus waiting there. This sightseeing bus has two routes. One is a small roundabout, and the ticket is 20 yuan/person. After starting from the pier, drive eastward along Ding Highway, and stop at National Forest Park (Zoo)-undersea scenic spot-pier (or China War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Museum Exhibition Hall and Cableway Station), and one of these three stops will be the terminal. The other is the big island, which can basically be bypassed all over the island, and the driver will always wait for you when you get off the bus and visit. This kind of price is relatively expensive, and it varies in different seasons, generally ranging from 600 to 800 yuan.
The exhibition hall of the Sino-Japanese War Museum, because we came early and the weather was not too hot, we chose to walk to the exhibition hall. It took about 5 minutes, and we could go in with the pass bought outside the island, which was checked by the ticket inspector. There are some historical sites of the Sino-Japanese War with a big screen inside. When I'm lucky, I can still catch the movies of the Sino-Japanese War.
Liu Gongdao cableway station visited the exhibition hall and came out from the back door. Opposite the road are the ropeway station and the Expo Park. At this time, it was already half past nine. My friend said to go to the Expo Park, and I quickly told them my last lesson of blood and tears. Last time, I went to the Expo Park first. After coming out, it was almost 1 1, and then I went to the ropeway station. The people waiting in line to take the cableway in the hall are full. Visually. Later, the staff told me that it was best not to take the cableway at noon because there were too many people. On the contrary, there are almost no people before 10 and after 1: 30, so you can take them directly without queuing.
So we went to take the cableway first, so we didn't have to wait in line. After going up, I went to Qidingshan Fort to take some photos, and then we took the cableway down. After coming down, I found that the ropeway hall was full of people, and my friends repeatedly praised me for my foresight.
I forgot to mention that the round-trip price of the ropeway ticket is 60 yuan/person. When getting on and off the ropeway, holes will be punched in the ticket. Don't throw ropeway tickets after getting off the bus. You can also visit the submarine for free after keeping it.
Liu Gongdao World Expo Park, as soon as we got out of the ropeway station, we went straight to the Expo Park. There is a sperm whale museum in the Expo Park, which contains the largest sperm whale specimen in the world, and it is still worth seeing. We've been shopping for more than half an hour, and it's past 1 1. Everyone is a little hungry. We just saw a lot of sightseeing bus stopping here at the exit of the Expo Park, so we asked the driver, who was very enthusiastic. He not only told us the route of the sightseeing bus, but also enthusiastically introduced the Liu Gongdao Hotel next to us, which was very close and didn't need us to walk much.
The three of us ordered four dishes, two seafood and two home-cooked dishes in Liu Gongdao Hotel. The food is delicious and plentiful. Finally, we counted more than one hundred but less than two hundred, which was not expensive.
After a short rest, we went straight to the coach and didn't want to be basked in the sun.
The first stop of the zoo is the zoo. We are going to see the giant panda. When you look at the giant panda at close range, it is a big fluffy ball, almost motionless. That's a particularly docile look. It was once widely rumored on the Internet that the panda is an animal with extremely agile movements and great lethality. Sure enough, pandas are ugly.
After seeing pandas, we saw sika deer and long-haired goats. There are fewer animals in the zoo, so we went up along the zoo, which is a loyal monument of Beiyang Navy. We didn't go up because of the hot weather.
The submarine came back with the ticket and continued to take the bus to the next stop-the submarine scenic spot. There are still many people in the undersea scenic spot, because there are many discounts here, except for round-trip ropeway tickets, which can be visited for free. I just heard in the car that tourists who come to the bottom of the sea by tour bus can visit at half price, that is, tickets 10 yuan/person.
Although there were many people, we decided to wait in line, because it was very attractive for us to get down into the submarine cabin and have a close look at its internal structure. After all, no one in the submarine has been there.
We are not used to actually entering the engine room, because the hatch is not big enough to accommodate only one entrance and exit. After we went down from the front, we went straight along the passage in the cabin. The cabin was very narrow, because there were people in front and back, so we couldn't go back and finally came out from the back door.
It is worth mentioning that while waiting in line, we found a QR code outside the ticket booth, which is the official WeChat account of Liu Gongdao Travel Service. After I added it, I found it was full of information about Liu Gongdao tourism, and it was very comprehensive. Even people who have never been to Liu Gongdao can fully understand some sightseeing and preferential information through this website, which is very practical for tourists.
There is only one last stop left in the museum. We chose to get off at the China Sino-Japanese War Museum, which was the former Naval Museum. The building inside is Sanjianyuan, which has a history of 100 years, but some places have been transformed into the style of English architecture, and each room has largely restored the scene of that year. There is a wax scene in the Second Hospital, which is very realistic.
If you play faster in one day, you can go to all these scenic spots, so if you are not in a hurry, you can play for two days, and if you are in a hurry, you can experience it in one day.
