Beidaihe is back, and my spending philosophy has collapsed.

🌅 You have to visit Beidaihe at least once, feel the sea breeze in the evening, watch the sunset like an orange sea, and experience the romance and gentleness of the ocean. This is the most comprehensive Beidaihe travel guide📖, taking you to fully enjoy this seaside town, so start saving it now! 📍Recommended Attractions: 🏞️ Pigeon Nest Park: A birdwatching paradise🕊️, with migratory birds from March to May and September to November, where you can see lots of adorable birds. It’s also an excellent spot to watch the sunrise over the sea🌄. In summer, the sunrise is around 4:30 - 5:00 AM, so remember to check the time in advance and wear a windbreaker. The wetland boardwalk inside the park is perfect for photos, and you can even bring bread to feed the seagulls~ 🎇 Biluo Tower Bar Park: During the day, you can check in at the pink Santorini, where every shot looks like a blockbuster📸. At night, there are beach parties, bonfires, and spectacular light shows, creating a fantastic atmosphere to fully enjoy the fun🎉! 🏖️ Laohushi Seaside Park: A landmark scenic area in Beidaihe, with reefs stretching into the sea, a natural masterpiece. You can sunbathe on the beach and try water activities (but make sure to check prices beforehand to avoid pitfalls❌), very relaxing. 🐘 Qinhuangdao Wildlife Park: You can get close to various rare wild animals and have an intimate encounter with tigers, elephants, and more. Kids will definitely love it if you bring them😃. 🚠 Xianluo Island: The only 1,000-meter-long cross-sea cable car in the country. Riding the cable car, you feel the sea breeze and see stunning sea views. It’s said that couples who hold hands crossing it will stay together forever💕. 🚗 Transportation Guide: 🚄 High-speed train: It takes about 2 hours from Beijing to Beidaihe Station, and then about 15 minutes by taxi to the seaside. 🚗 Self-driving: Direct access via Jingha Expressway, but be aware of traffic jams on weekends in July and August, so plan your time in advance. 🚲 Local transport: Cycling along the coast is fantastic, bike rental costs about 20 RMB/day, allowing you to enjoy the seaside scenery while riding. You can also choose taxis or buses; Didi is more regulated than taxis. Shared bikes are rare, and electric bike rentals cost about 60 RMB/day, with room for bargaining~ 🏠 Accommodation Suggestions: 🐯 Around Laohushi: Many sea view rooms, just steps from the beach, perfect for couples or those seeking convenience, costing about 600 - 1200 RMB/night. 🏡 Around Liuzhuang Night Market: Concentrated homestays, with a night market nearby for various snacks and vibrant nightlife. A good choice for budget-conscious young travelers, costing about 300 - 500 RMB/night. 🏖️ Anaya Community: Full of design sense with a private beach, ideal for those who love quality vacations and photography. Prices are relatively high, about 1500 RMB+/night, and visitor reservations are limited daily, so book at least 3 days in advance via the official app. 🌊 Nandaihe: Less crowded and quiet, a bit farther from the main attractions, suitable for families staying long or self-driving tourists, costing about 400 - 800 RMB/night. 🍱 Food Guide: 🦀 Seafood Selection: At Shitang Road Market, you can choose your seafood and have it cooked (steaming usually costs about 10 RMB per jin). Recommended are swimming crabs and razor clams, which taste super fresh. But be careful of the "switcheroo" tricks by street vendors. 🍗 Time-honored Recommendations: • Tongde Roast Duck Restaurant: A popular spot for locals to gather, with generous seafood portions. • Zhao’s Restaurant (near Qinhuangdao Station): A century-old brand, the signature steamed dumplings are a must-try, very satisfying with every bite. 🍢 Night Market Snacks: • Liuzhuang Night Market: Crowded with people, offering grilled gluten, steamed jelly, and various snacks. • Daihexiang Snack Street: Prices are about one-third lower than Liuzhuang Night Market, with more local specialties. ⚠️ Pitfall Avoidance Tips: • Seafood traps: Always confirm the price before having seafood cooked to avoid being overcharged. • Taxi scams: If you encounter taxis that don’t use the meter, take a photo of the license plate and complain. Use ride-hailing apps as much as possible in the city. • Peak season crowds: July and August are peak tourist seasons with many people. For a quieter experience, visit in late June or early September. • Beach umbrella fees trap: Always ask if there is a charge before sitting down; usually, it’s about 50 RMB/hour. • Be cautious about low-priced fishing trips, as they may shorten the duration or charge extra fees. #BeidaiheTravel #BeidaiheGuide #SeasideVacation
