Qinhuangdao Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Aranya Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Aranya Travel Guide
Off-season Aranya is really comfortable! Two-day and one-night guide! Aranya in November is perfect for vacation, the leaves turn yellow, the scenery is beautiful with fewer people, no need to queue for meals, two days and one night is just right.
‼️Attached is a super detailed guide, it is recommended to save it.
✅Photo check-in
①Aranya Chapel
②Lonely Library
③Doghouse
④Coffee shops around the beach
⑤Nordic street corner
⑥Seaside swing (behind the Sand Dune Art Museum)
✅About transportation
Beijing Station-Changli Station (if you can't buy a ticket, you can directly buy to Beidaihe, the whole journey is about 3 hours, after getting off the train, directly take a taxi to the hotel, about 30 minutes.)
✅About catering
I personally think that the taste of the canteen in the community is not bad, the price is relatively affordable, I recommend the third canteen, the sixth canteen, the per capita is super low.
✅About accommodation
Accommodation recommends hotels in the Aranya community, the off-season price is not expensive, basically includes breakfast, snacks, coffee, etc., feel like a quick return. Close to the beach, the attractions are relatively close, there are basically shuttle buses, it is convenient to go anywhere.
✅Precautions
①Aranya Chapel and Lonely Library need to be booked one day in advance.
②Be sure to check the sunrise time in advance to avoid missing it.
③If you stay in a hotel in the community, remember to report the license plate number to the hotel when taking a taxi, otherwise you will not be able to enter.
④The temperature has dropped, it is colder to watch the sunrise by the sea, the wind is strong, bring warm clothes and down jackets.
Beijing Escape | Qinhuangdao | Lonely Library
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.

Beidaihe Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Promise me! You must come to Qinhuangdao to see the frozen sea in winter
I really like the sea in Qinhuangdao in January (
The white frozen sea, the blue sky, the red lighthouse, I have an illusion of being in Iceland
FREE Free! FREE Free!
And the seagulls from Siberia, I brought seagull food
Seeing the red lighthouse by the sea
It's like a scene in Miyazaki's comics
I love this unpopular and deserted seaside in Qinhuangdao too much
I brought a fountain and fireworks, it's so romantic!
But it's not obvious at night
Sisters, come and take pictures while there are not many people!
The lanterns are also brought by myself~
In order to set off the atmosphere of the upcoming New Year,

I am writing my first post today.
this is about our recent trip to this lovely small city of Beidaihe , Neat Beijing.
we did our two Nights and three days trip during recent october National day holidays.
As it was a first long major holiday after COVID-19. So it was special but on the same time it was so called risky.
we decided not to go far from Bejing and after doing some research on trip.com decided to visit this place.
This city and it's attraction are wonderful. we really enjoyed the beach , Greate wall,
fun filled evening , Photos , drinks ..
and yes delicious Seafood.
it was not a regular turist place hence was very nice crowd.. not too many people though it was National holiday
Trip.com has provided very accurate information about this city . I used trip.com attraction list and used it like a google to roam around .
it's amazing .. keep adding more and more information as possing ..
we are looking forward to visit this place again in summer so that my kids can also enjoy bath in clean sea water .
please comment if you like my some of the pics I clicked during this trip .

|Go to see the ultimate geometric aesthetics of the seaside utopia. Finally, I went to the long-awaited Aranya
Sitting by the sea alone
As if I entered the world of the utopia in my dream
It is said that there are only 0 times and countless times to see the sea
And so is Aranya
A place where you want to come countless times~

Photo check-in place
1 Aranya Chapel
The white church stands between the sea and the beach, as if floating on the sea, the seaside church aims to find life itself, to find oneself
2 Lonely Library
The library is not lonely, there are always people coming and going, facing the sea, you can shoot through the frame composition
3Paulmann1986
The same geometric shape echoes with the Aranya Chapel, like the morning star on the sea, passing tourists can write down their wishes and stick them on the pillar of the bulb, and reignite their passion and expectation for life by making a wish under the light
...
Play small tips
1 The sunrise and sunset here are very beautiful, you can rush confidently
2 Choose pure color clothing, which is more suitable for the scene
3 Shooting drone perspective, you must get up early, after 9 o'clock, it is full of people!

I can SEA you
An amazing getaway from Beijing. I try to go once a year to the beach nearest to the capital and I love to go in may before the crowds start coming. The weather is not that warm in may but I just love to feel the sand under my feet. This time we drove a car to Aranya. It took about 3 hours each way.
As an alternative you can take a train from Beijing to Beidaihe or Qinhuangdao train station, they are not so far apart and from the station it’s very easy to take a taxi or DiDi. Aranya is a closed community with hotels, apartments, restaurants, shops, cinema and you need to live in one of the hotels or go to an event to be able to get access to enter. Once inside it is so amazing nice. The beach stretch is quite long and you can find a church, library and bars along the beach.
As we entered we had lunch at HE Kitchen before heading to the beach. In the evening we had shake shack however there are multiple options for food if you want to explore. Very satisfying to just be by the ocean and get some vitamin Sea 🌊 #2023travelwish #passionpassport #Beidaihe #Aranya

Anaya Photo Raiders: Shoot the most beautiful and most filmed at dusk!
came to Anaya and found that it was a little different from what I thought. Of course, the building is still beautiful, and the waters of Beidaihe are also beautiful! And people who often have surfers during the day, sitting on the beach, really enjoy, but when they come to the church of Anaya, there are people except everyone, people, people, want to find a corner of no one to take pictures, That is almost impossible.
So, I want to take a panoramic view of the church. I dont know what else to do except the aerial photography. Because its all of them, Ive got a small problem with my aerial photography. Friends did not bring a memory card, only the phone connected to the screenshot, so this picture quality is a bit slag ~ this band can be aerial photography, the plane can fly to shoot, very beautiful ~
morning shot, the sun Big, hard light! The eyes can't open, basically the state of blinking!
In the afternoon, the sun is still very large, and more and more people.
evening sunset: This time is the best shot, the sun is going down the mountain, the light of the evening is soft and graceful, the angle is good, there will be some light and shadow, it is really Gentle and good-looking ~ In addition to shooting the auditorium, I think it is OK to stand on the beach. If there is a wave, it feels great.
This trip, although a lot of people are beyond imagination, but the photos taken are quite satisfactory.
PS: Because the building is beige, so just look for a corner, no one, stand, squat, sit and pat, pat, clothes, I think the solid color is pretty good~~ too deep The color is very conflicting, and it may not look good when you shoot it, but this is still a matter of personal preference!
1. Appointment: Search for an appointment on the WeChat public account to visit Anaya. Some attractions have a limited number of appointments per day, which is a fee. I dont remember how much money I can ask.
2. Check-in: Choose to stay in a villa, hotel or hotel in the Anaya community, with a room card or a hotel voucher, you can choose the hotel directly in the WeChat public account!
Address:
Ana Gold Coast Community, located in the Anaya Auditorium, Gold Coast Central District, Changli County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province
Aranya! Big terrace with sea view room! I will come again next time!
💗I really like the big terrace of this homestay, sitting on the chair at night, drinking a little wine, blowing the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the waves.
💗This moment is really comfortable and romantic, and I instantly found the meaning of traveling.
🚪Homestay: Appointment with the Sea Homestay

Laolongtou is not only the starting point of the Great Wall, but also the point where it meets the sea, the only section of the Wall that extends into the ocean. The scenic area is vast, featuring beaches where you can gaze at the sea. Standing at Laolongtou and watching the waves come and go can make one feel extremely joyful. Indeed, the sea is a supremely healing landscape! Inside, there are attractions like the Longwu Camp, the Bagua Formation, and the Sea God Temple, all worth a visit. Time seems to fly in the pleasant atmosphere, and half a day passes in a blink. Anywhere with the sea feels like a photogenic spot, especially in winter, when you can also see ice and snow!

Sunrise and seagulls
Watching the sunrise at Dove Nest, it's absolutely beautiful. It's a must-visit spot for photography. The sunrise in winter is around 7:20. The park opens at 6:40, and there was a long line at the entrance. Seeing the pink clouds, I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to catch the sunrise because the gate opened too late. Because it's a long walk after entering. But actually, it was just in time. It's just not very ample. The sunrise is fleeting, so you need to do some homework before shooting. There are two shooting spots, one is by the coast, the other is at the pavilion on the corridor. Both are good.

Beidaihe Travel Guide·How to play in Pigeon Nest Park recommendation
🙋♀️Beidaihe Pigeon Nest Park travel guide is here❗️Friends, look here🥳Share with friends~
📝Route recommendation:
1⃣️:Tiger Stone Park🏖️——Biluo Tower Bar Park🍻
2⃣️:Pigeon Nest Park🐦——Blue Coast·Cat's Sky City Bookstore📖——Tiger Stone Park🏖️
3⃣️:Xigang Garden🧩——The First Pass Under Heaven🏯——Qin Emperor's Alley🥘
🔖Note: I spent the first two days in Beidaihe, went to Qinhuangdao in the afternoon of the second day, and spent the third day in Qinhuangdao. Transportation takes some time, so everyone should plan well✅.
🧩Pigeon Nest Park
🎫Ticket: Peak season 25r
🕑Time: 3h (including waiting for sunrise🌄 time)
🏷Route recommendation: Enter the park——Climb the mountain to watch the sunrise🌅——Halfway up the mountain Eagle Corner Pavilion——Beach seaside 'Beidaihe' stone photo📷——Pigeon Nest Square to see pigeons🕊️——Exit the park
I got up at three o'clock🕒 in the morning, booked a car online🚗 (I was worried at first that it would be too early to book a car, but I got one quickly), and arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot at about four o'clock, and the gate opened at four twenty. There were already some tourists waiting.
There are two✌️ choices for watching the sunrise: the top of the mountain⛰️ and the seaside. I personally recommend going to the top of the mountain. But if it is peak season, there may be more tourists on the top of the mountain, so it may block the view of the sunrise, so it is recommended to go to the seaside🌊.
To go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise🌅, after entering, follow everyone and you will basically not go wrong. You may walk faster, after all, you want to watch the sunrise, so you should go up the mountain as soon as possible. The mountain is not very high, and you will reach the top after climbing for a while. Then it's waiting. You can find a suitable position.
After watching the sunrise, you can go to the beach for a walk👣. There are several roads down the mountain, and some roads can go directly to the beach. The morning sun shines on the sea☀️, the atmosphere is very beautiful🌊, but try not to go into the water, the sea water is quite cold in the morning~ There is a stone carved with 'Beidaihe' on the beach, it's nice to take pictures here📷.
There are shops selling souvenirs inside, and some snacks, such as sausages. I got up early in the morning without eating breakfast, and when I was about to leave, I was hungry and went to buy it.
There are quite a lot of pigeons🕊️ in the square. There is a bathroom🚻 next to the square.
🏨Accommodation: It is recommended to stay near Tiger Stone Park, which is closer to the beach and the street scenery is also more beautiful. ⚠️But don't be too far away on the street. I stayed a little bit far away, although it was near the beach, but it actually had to walk nearly a kilometer, and then I went to the beach several times by taxi for a starting price, in this case, it's better to live near the bus stop🤣
