The quotation is inflated and easy to increase the price halfway, be sure to go to the regular dock to find the official shipowner, and the shipowner in advance to say the length, route and total price, and write clearly to avoid disputes 2. ❌ don't believe the "low price tour all over Baiyangdian" gimmick, the black boat has no safety guarantee, and the life jacket may not have ✅ July-August Baiyangdian sultry sun exposure, must bring: high-power sunscreen, mosquito repellent water (reed mosquitoes are huge!), sun hat, ice sleeves, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, portable small fan, mineral water on board is expensive can bring their own 4. ✅ take pictures and wear light-colored dresses/light-colored clothes, and lotus reeds beyond the sheet, with a thin coat in the morning and evening 5. ✅ take the elderly and children to choose a wooden boat first, do not take a big speedboat (shaking and noisy), take a battery car/small train in the scenic spot, save physical strength 6. ✅ peak travel: 8-10 am, the most comfortable after 4 pm, around 3 pm exposure to the sun as far as possible to hide indoors/boat; Saturday after 10 am, Sunday at 3 pm pier return queue may be 1 hour, try to go early 7. ✅ If the official scenic spot does not have a ticket, go directly to the surrounding villages to tour the wild lake, the experience is better and cheaper --- ##💰 cost reference (per capita) - 2 days and 1 night classic tour: 500-900 yuan (transportation 100-150 + ticket 185 + accommodation 200-400 + catering 150/day) - 1 Amano Lake Tour: 200-300 yuan (ticket sharing + catering) The overall cost performance is very high, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei weekend short trip is very suitable~
