#100waysoftravel Who knows! Every moment that time, I cried so much! Aranya in Qinhuangdao is known as the "Utopia of Literature and Art". This place combines various art forms such as aesthetics, music, literature, architecture, etc. Traveling here provides a transcendent travel art experience, where you can discover romantic little joys in your daily life. There are many cultural attractions that can be visited all year round, and I highly recommend walking in winter and summer as the scenery will be even better. Taichi Yue! Due to the fact that Anaya is different from traditional tourist attractions, it is a closed and privately managed community that can be accessed through the following four channels: 1. Consultation with the property owner: Can Anaya property owners help with the check-in procedures? 2. Admission with a ticket: If there are music festivals, drama festivals, or other performances in the community, you can enter with a ticket. 3. Accommodation guests: Book accommodation for people or hotels in the park, and enter "How to enter Anaya?" based on the reservation information

This is a nice weekend escape from Beijing - around 2hr15 ride on the fast speed train. The library and church are actually part of the Aranya resort and is located on the beach front of the resort. You can chose to stay in the resort or can also stay outside and pay only to enter the library area . I stayed outside and payed an entrance fee. However I would really recommend booking a room and staying in Aranya. You can’t really swim in the sea but the resort seems to have its own pool, restaurant and even a livehouse. Also if are able to avoid the holiday periods - you can actually get some nice deals at Aranya. #chinatravel #wecreate #beijing

Aranya! The best place to visit while you’re in Qinhuangdao! Totally worth it! This “little town” has got everything inside! The beach, many western restaurants and bars, outdoor movie area, cinema, library, church etc! The architecture is very modern! I will definitely return during summer! Would love to spend some summer holidays here! #holidays

The sea is really a romantic place. Whether it is a walk on the beach or the sunrise and sunset at the beach, it is fascinating. Here is the Lonely Library and the white Aranya Auditorium. It's really worthwhile to come to Aranya when the weather is good. Transportation: Take a train from Beijing to Changli or Beidaihe, and after getting off the train, take a taxi to Anaya Community.

🏝️ Speaking of romantic things to do in winter, watching the sunrise by the sea and welcoming the arrival of red-billed gulls from Siberia must be on the list. 🪽 This flock of birds travels all the way from distant Siberia. Studies show that their wintering grounds are not limited to the north but also include Yunnan. I've encountered this family of birds in Yunnan before, and I believe it's the same group. 🌊 The sunrise at Aranya happens around 7 a.m. every morning. Initially, I thought it would just be the fiery red sun rising high in the sky. But to my surprise, as I was waiting for the sunrise, a flock of birds flitting about caught my eye. I was standing by the Aranya Auditorium, and there was already a group of people on the beach waiting for the sunrise. The birds flew towards the crowd—oh, they were hungry! Seeing people holding food for them, they eagerly rushed forward to enjoy their breakfast. A mischievous child lit a sparkler nearby, which startled the birds, causing them to fly to the deeper waters further away. They returned after a while when everything was calm again. 🏖️ The sunrise at Aranya is romantic. I've heard it said that you can witness the "Orange Sea" here, where the orange hue dyes the melancholy blue of the sea into the color of orange soda—a little sweet and a little sour. When a ray of sunlight sweeps past you, it's like a blue bag sprinkled with golden sand, absolutely beautiful. At this moment, a flock of red-billed gulls dances with the people. Everything nature bestows upon us is free. As long as you pay attention, everything around you could be a treasure. 🕙 For the best birdwatching experience, arrive an hour before sunrise in winter. Bring binoculars and a camera. 🌅 Sunrise Time: Check the app in advance. ⚠️ Note: You won't see a perfect sunrise every day. You need a clear day. Keep an eye on the weather forecast, though; it's usually accurate. If you stay for a few days, you're bound to see one. 🐦 Bird Species: Mainly Siberian red-billed gulls, the same species seen in Tianjin. Also, black-tailed gulls and common black-headed gulls. 🍽️ Feeding: You can buy special seagull food from seaside shops for CNY 10 per bag. 🚗 Transportation: Bus, taxi, or ride-hailing services. Approximately 30 minutes from Beidaihe Railway Station. Best Birdwatching Time: Winter (November to March), best at sunrise. Location: Aranya Auditorium, Changli County, Qinhuangdao City

Aranya in winter is truly a peaceful and beautiful place. As soon as you step in, you can feel the cool and pure air. Although the weather is a bit cold, the unique atmosphere is really intoxicating. I have to say, the Aranya Chapel is a great place to take photos. In winter, there are very few people there, so I can stand quietly in front of the chapel and feel the sea breeze on my face, as if the whole world has quieted down. The interior design of the chapel is also simple and elegant, and you can see the sea view outside through the windows, which is really beautiful. There is also the Lonely Library, which is known as the warmest place in Aranya in winter. I went in for a stroll and found that there was a wide variety of books, and the environment was very comfortable. I found a corner to sit down and read quietly for a while, and I felt that my soul was nourished. Of course, the sunrise and sunset in Aranya are not to be missed. I got up early to watch the sunrise. Although the weather was a bit cold, when I saw the sun slowly rising from the sea level, I really felt that it was all worth it. At sunset, I stood by the sea with my coat on and watched the sunset slowly sink into the sea. The beauty of the scene was really unforgettable. Speaking of food, there are many good options in Aranya. I tried the saozi noodles and fried noodles at the Yellow River Estuary Restaurant, and they were really delicious and reasonably priced. There were also skewers, milk rice wine, and other snacks that made me very happy. As for accommodation, I chose a homestay in Aranya, which was very cozy and well-equipped. Transportation is also quite convenient. You can take a train to Changli Station and then take a taxi to Aranya. There are also many shuttle buses in the park, so it is very convenient to get around. However, it is important to note that winter is the off-season for tourism in Aranya, so there are relatively few tourists. It is best to plan your itinerary and route in advance before you travel. Overall, Aranya in winter is really a place worth visiting. If you also like a quiet and beautiful atmosphere, you might want to experience it!

Here is a guide to taking photos in Aranya, including photo spots, times, and outfits: Photo Spots - Aranya Chapel: The iconic building of Aranya, with a white spire against the blue sky, white clouds, and sea, is holy and beautiful. You can sit on the platform in front of the chapel logo, lean against the small gap under the chapel and take a photo from below, or go down the steps on the side of the chapel and take a photo with the blue sky and the building as the background.  - Lonely Library: Literary and mysterious, the seaside boardwalk outside is a great photo spot, and the library's square frame for viewing the sea is also suitable for photos. You can come at sunrise or sunset when the light is good and there are fewer people.  - Seaside Concert Hall: The red building is unique, next to the Tagi Apple House, with the blue sky and beach as the background, using a medium telephoto lens to shoot in front of the sunset, the effect is very good. - UCCA Dune Art Museum: Designed by OPEN Architecture, the interior gallery resembles a cave, and the outdoor gallery faces the beach. You can take photos along the spiral staircase to the top of the dune viewing platform or by the window of the gallery facing the sea.  - Aranya Art Center: The atrium has a circular theater, which can be shot from a wide-angle overhead or from a window.
