Shuangyue Bay
Most of the pictures above are from Shuangyue Bay, where the sea is a deep aqua blue, the sand is coarse but the scenery is very beautiful~🪑Swinging on a swing near 'Duxi'
It's also fun to set off fireworks on the beach at night~

Spring Festival travel, I really love this niche and super beautiful seaside!!
That day, the bright sunshine, the clear blue sea🌊,
The sunset chased by the sea 🚢, gradually rendering the entire sky's sunset clouds,
And the fireworks 🎆🌌 in the sky,
The purchased and processed seafood delicacies all make me and my parents feel extremely happy~
·
The first day's itinerary: Guangzhou——Direct to Huizhou Shuangyue Bay (🍑Book the direct bus one day in advance) Get on the bus at Haizhu Square, 3 hours, there will be a stop in the middle for meals (Well, those who understand, can choose not to eat, we ate some to pad our stomachs) The driver sent me directly to my hotel🏨
‼️About Shuangyue Bay:
It is two bays that look like 🌙🌙 and back to each other, the bend is Turtle Island, the distance between the two bends is tens of kilometers, one is convenient for watching the sunrise, the other is convenient for watching the sunset, as an adult, I definitely want both!
So, my itinerary is planned to end at Turtle Island from 13:00 to 17:00 in the afternoon, take a motorbike 🏍️ for 10 minutes, and catch the 17:20 to go to Lover's Dam to charter a boat 🚢 to watch the sunset at sea, so the hotel is set on this side that is convenient for watching the sunrise!
🚗Transportation: The transportation in Shuangyue Bay is not very convenient, because it is relatively small, it is easy to get stuck in traffic by taxi or driving, the most convenient is to take a motorbike, the uncles' skills are very good, 40 yuan for 2 people to go to the "Turtle Island" entrance from the hotel (highly recommended)——From Turtle Island, take a motorbike to "Lover's Dam"
🐢Turtle Island: Admission ticket is required 30/person, named after the whole sea area where turtles migrate and lay eggs, there are many large turtles on the island, friendly to children, very well-behaved close contact! There is also a viewing platform at the exit of Turtle Island. If you want to watch the sunset, it is recommended not to go to the viewing platform. It takes time to climb up, and the sea view you see is the same.
🚢🌄: Lover's Dam charter boat to chase the sunset
Lover's Dam is the best place to watch the sunset. On the way, you will pass the local seafood market and the relatively concentrated dining area. After watching the sunset, you can walk a few minutes to buy seafood, and then find a special shop for processing.
·
You must come here to watch the sunset, the charter price is 600-800 per boat, we are a family of six, will cast nets to catch fish, if you are lucky, you will have a lot of seafood to take away~
·
The seaside can also play motorbikes, and set off fireworks at night~
The romance of the sunset, really every time can move me, on the beach, in the desert, on the mountain, on the grassland...every time I chase the sunset, I can remember it in my heart, the sky of the sunset clouds is romantic and beautiful~Every frame is a beautiful big picture!
·
About food: The itinerary on the first day is a bit full, the eyes have seen too many beautiful scenery, will be tired, so we directly found a restaurant to eat, the price is actually okay, there is no such thing as slaughtering customers, the taste is delicious!
·
After eating, 🚶walk back to the hotel, about 15 minutes to arrive, the hotel faces the sea, open the curtains to see a few people setting off fireworks on the beach at night🎆, rest early on the first day, good night💤
·
Clothes: Autumn➕Winter coat, because the wind is a bit big, the sun will be hot in the afternoon, and it will be a bit cold in the morning and evening due to the big wind.

Although there are many sea turtle conservation bases abroad, it is the only turtle nature reserve in China. Surrounded by sea on three sides, environmental conditions such as climate, temperature and seawater salinity are very suitable for sea turtles to survive. Green turtles, Pacific turtles, tortoises, etc. live here, and turtles from months to nearly 100 years old can be seen in the turtle museum in the conservation area.
