It's time to eat oysters, come here for a spin (Beihai Edition)

How many ways are there to eat oysters? Garlic, white boiled, charcoal grilled... Just thinking about it makes your mouth water! Now is the season when oysters are fat and juicy, and Qinzhou, the 'Big Oyster Town of China', is definitely worth a visit. However, since you are in the Beibu Gulf region, just one Qinzhou is not enough, why not take a 4-6 day self-drive tour, along the coastline to experience the colors of the three cities (Beihai, Qinzhou, Fangchenggang) in the Beibu Gulf that are completely different from the hinterland of Guangxi. From the colorful Wuhai Beach to the old streets in black and white film, you can enjoy a slow-paced life, or dive into the sea to explore the unknown world. Most people in Beihai have vivid memories of the pyramid schemes and real estate bubbles here, but Beihai, which has already awakened from these two nightmares, is welcoming the arrival of travelers with an unprecedented peaceful attitude. Silver Beach is a rare high-quality bathing beach on the coastline of Guangxi and even the whole of China. The silver-white beach and clear sea water meet most people's expectations of the beach. The sand here is very fine and soft, and it feels great to step on it barefoot; the long beach is also gently sloping, making it suitable for swimming and walking. Dusk is the most beautiful time on Silver Beach, the tide-smoothed sand is smooth as a mirror, perfectly reflecting every inch of changing sky light. If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of tourists, go to the beach park a little to the west, where the coast is more suitable for strolling. The old street is a clear mark of old Beihai. Zhuhai Road, which was built in 1883, was once the busiest commercial district in Beihai, later became a street mainly for residences, and is now a sightseeing pedestrian street. The shops that used to sell fishermen's supplies have turned into restaurants, bars, guesthouses, coffee shops and shops selling tourist souvenirs. Unlike other extremely commercialized pedestrian streets in China, there are places here that locals also frequent, and you need a little patience to identify them. Although the various reliefs, window tops and plaques of each household have lost some of their age after several renovations, they are still worth stopping and watching carefully. Guantouling is a good place for self-drivers to avoid the crowd on the west side of the city. There are fewer tourists here, and it is a holiday paradise for locals. This is the highest point in Beihai, with lush vegetation on the mountain, you can drive to the top to overlook the sea; the South Village at the foot of the mountain is known as the 'First Village of Beihai', the coastal erosion area on the beach has the momentum of a 'small Weizhou Island', and the large seafood stalls outside the village, such as South Fishing Village, are often visited by local self-drivers. · Seaside city, seafood is indispensable ·>The location of Waisha Island is very good, close to the sea and the city, and there are many large seafood restaurants, high quality and high price, not necessarily suitable for all travelers. There are also many seafood stalls in the area of Qiaogang Style Street, and in recent years there have been many mid-priced, exquisite new-style restaurants, suitable for diners who have requirements for the dining atmosphere. More economical seafood stalls are concentrated on Sanzhong Road, Guizhou Road North Section, but do not have expectations for the dining environment. Another good way is to go to the seafood market to buy ingredients yourself, many hotels in Beihai offer cooking services for guests, and some roadside restaurants can also do it. The Civilized Market and Nanzhu Market in the city center, and the Qiaogang Market in Qiaogang, are all popular seafood markets favored by citizens. More advanced buyers will go directly to Waisha Pier, Qiaogang Pier, and Nanwan Pier to buy, with fresh catches in the early morning and bargain prices at night.
