What motivates Russians to travel to the Chinese resort city of Qinhuangdao by rail

BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — Who doesn't want to vacation at a seaside resort during the peak summer season? With beautiful scenery, well-maintained beaches, a variety of cultural and entertainment events and modern service infrastructure, China's Qinhuangdao has everything to attract tourists looking to escape the summer heat.

The summer resort of Qinhuangdao in Hebei Province in northern China is popular not only among Chinese, but also among foreigners. According to statistics, last year Beidaihe, one of the districts of Qinhuangdao, was visited by about 30.9 thousand foreign tourists, including 24.5 thousand Russians.

As for Russians, especially residents of the Far East and Siberia, one more advantage of the Chinese resort city for them should be added – geographical proximity. The flight time from Vladivostok to Qinhuangdao is about two and a half hours.

Russians have another option to get to Qinhuangdao. Since the beginning of last month, about 3,000 Russian tourists have entered China through the Manzhouli checkpoint and have gone on train tours from there.

The Manzhouli checkpoint is located in the city of the same name in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which borders on Russia's Zabaikalsky Krai. According to the press service of the city's government, 180 foreigners recently traveled from Manzhouli to the city of Qinhuangdao on the K1302 high-speed passenger train.

Train K1302 Manzhouli-Beijing departs at 09:07 and arrives in Qinhuangdao the following day.

Compared with air travel, rail travel does not save time, but it does save on ticket costs. The cost of a reserved seat train ticket on the Manzhouli-Qinhuangdao route starts from 363 yuan /about 4,000 rubles/, and in a compartment – 572 yuan /6,000 rubles/.

The 24-hour train journey can be quite impressive for passengers who have never visited China before. During the day, the train offers idyllic views of blue skies and the vast Hulunbuir steppe with its flocks of sheep, while in the evening, when the train stops at Qiqihar and Daqing in Heilongjiang Province, passengers can admire the views of modern, densely populated cities.

As the number of foreign travelers continues to increase, railway staff in Manzhouli are doing their utmost to assist them.

A “green corridor” is opened for foreigners at the railway station. English- and Russian-speaking staff are on duty in the waiting room and on the platform. Passengers are also provided with free drinks, chargers and emergency medications.

"We will continue to optimize service measures and improve service quality to ensure that passengers feel at home when traveling in China," said Liu Ying, a station attendant. -0-
