Shopping recommendations:
Qinhuangdao is adjacent to the Bohai Bay, and its specialty products are mainly seafood. Almost all the handicrafts here are made of shellfish, including various pearl jewelry, door curtains, necklaces, pendants, etc. Some local craftsmen also slightly modify the conches to make unique small handicrafts to attract customers. The southeast gate of Lianfengshan Park is the small commodity distribution center in Beidaihe. All the above-mentioned small handicrafts can be purchased here. Near the sand skating ground of Nandaihe Recreation Center, there is a newly built large-scale shopping mall in the city. After playing on the beach, you can go here to buy some suitable commodities. However, the prices at different stalls vary greatly, so you need to choose carefully.
