Qinhuangdao - Beidaihe

Beidaihe is one of the most popular holiday and health resorts in China with numerous guesthouses and sanatoriums. The beach, the mild climate, and the many parks attract large numbers of visitors.

In 1898 the status of Beidaihe was raised when, by imperial decree, it was chosen as a health resort. At that time Europeans and wealthy Chinese built their villas here, but after 1949 Beidaihe became the health resort for the workers and sanatoriums were then erected.

The climate on this coastal stretch is very mild; in the summer the average temperature is around 23°C (72°F). The bathing season normally lasts from May to October.
