Beidaihe train station is inconveniently located 15km north of the town; bus #5 will take you from here into the centre. If you arrive at night (likely if you're coming from Beijing), there will be private minibuses and taxis waiting, but you'll have to barter hard to get a price of less than ¥40. If you intend stopping at both Beidaihe and Shanhaiguan, 35km to the east along the coast, it might be better to go to Shanhaiguan first (two stops farther down the line, but check, as some trains don't stop there), where the station is close to the hotels. Buses #3 and #4 (¥2), and minibuses (¥4) run throughout the day until around 6pm to Beidaihe from Shanhaiguan, passing through the port of Qinhuangdao and terminating at Beidaihe's bus station ; it's a fifteen-minute downhill walk from here to Middle Beach. Taxis around town cost ¥10, but Beidaihe is small enough to get around easily on foot. CITS is located in the Haibin Hotel and will arrange onward train tickets and tours to the nearby nature reserve.
