Tangshan Station 唐山站
As usual, it’s pretty vacant. And outside, it’s even more vacant. The locals don’t really like it …

Yigang Hongyuan 伊港弘园美食城
Either I ran into the right people or China’s wine has improved: Kenos Chardonnay (2016) from Central Valley in Chile is decent, so is the Tempranillo (2017). And the food at this restaurant is delicious too.

Dazhao Park 大钊
The park was built in 1954 under the name of People’s Park and changed to Dazhao in 1986, to honor Li Dazhao, Chinese intellectual who co-founded the Communist Party of China. It’s in a prime location: to the east is Wanda Plaza and Xinhua Hotel.

Xinhua Hotel 新华大酒店
105 Xinhua E Road 新华东道105号
Tangshan, China
This hotel has seen a better day. It used to be the tallest building. Next to the hotel, a new building is going up. I didn’t check the hotel before booking, just took a recommendation from a local friend. Location is great, opposite from Wanda Plaza, diagonally from Dazhao Park (大钊) and a stone throw away from Kailuan headquarter and Kailuan Hotel. It’s a revolving restaurant on the top, where I’ve two breakfasts: almost forgot that I’ve paid for, -:). Often I was the only customer. Food varieties were limited.
Left is for sale, that included a toilet seat cover… pretty inventive = sneaky.
