Shanwei, a place worth revisiting

Shanwei, the place I have visited the most times in Guangdong Province, is undoubtedly Shanwei! A great place for workers in Shenzhen to relieve their exhaustion on weekends! 【Two-Day Itinerary】 Depart from Shenzhen North by high-speed train on Saturday morning, and arrive in Shanwei in 1h Upon exiting Shanwei station, you can see 【Shenzhou】 and 【Yihi】 car rentals Day ① ◎【Magong Seafood Market】 The seafood street is not long but has a rich variety, fresh! There's the Shanwei specialty "Morning Light Oysters", and there are processing shops next to the seafood street. Add some stir-fried noodles and sweet potato leaves, and you're more than satisfied! ◎【Honghai Bay Area】 【Honghai Bay Shelter】C【Nanhai Guanyin Tourism Scenic Area】G【Windmill Island】 The waves in Honghai Bay are big, and in summer, you can tumble in the sea to your heart's content. In spring and autumn, it's also fun to wade in the water without swimming. The Nanhai Guanyin is very worth visiting for its magnificent sea views and vast South China Sea. 【Jintian Bay Area】 If the budget allows, choose Hilton Yilin; for value for money, choose the newly opened sea view hotel. There are many privately contracted sea view apartments here, it is recommended to choose 【Building 1 with high-rise direct sea view, Building 5 with mid-high floor side sea view】. Look at the opening time, generally, the ones opened in the past one or two years are good. ◎【Dama Road © Erma Road (Sanma Road】 Frequent visits to: Cup Cup Fresh Juice Ice, Deji Beef Brisket, Shanmei Fierce Plum Juice Fruit, Huiyao Hongji Old Vegetable Tea, Lin Shunjie Thin Pancake (I personally think both their savory and sweet versions are the best I've ever had!) Also: winter pigeon, vegetable kueh, millet, flat beef cake soup, grass kueh, Jiumaogao, etc., randomly choose one each time and the taste is always good! The food in Shanwei really wins the heart of our family. My family members are all pure northerners who might not be used to Chaozhou cuisine at first, but there's no threshold to accepting the food in Shanwei, haha! Day ② ◎【Fengshan Mazu】 The Tianhou Pavilion is filled with the rich traditional Fujian architectural style, with colorful ceramic pieces and exaggerated flying eaves. I really like watching the locals come to the Tianhou Pavilion to worship, it's truly full of ritual. ②【Five-Body Mazu】 It's the only five-body Mazu statue in the world! Currently, there are not many tourists. It takes about half an hour to climb to the top of the statue, and you can have a panoramic view of Hailufeng City! Nearby there is an RV campsite and a wetland park, which is a great place for bird watching during specific gatherings each year! ◎【Lufeng Shanghai Bund】 The sea is not as clean as Honghai Bay, but it wins in size! Fewer people! Lively and interesting! This place is very suitable for sea foraging! There are super many small crabs digging holes on the beach, various shells, and several seabirds gazing into the distance on the beach, with a few children digging in the sand. For the last meal before leaving, I plan to have beef hotpot in Shanwei! Chose the highly ranked 【Li Ji Chao Niu Zhuang】. This place is worth visiting multiple times! Fresh meat, good price!

This isn't Japan or Jeju Island, but it has the same anime feel.
