Beihai, this sea’s sunset is heartbreakingly beautiful!

Autumn Drunk in Beihai｜Three Days and Two Nights, Encounter the Gentlest Silver Beach and Fireworks of the South China Sea When the autumn breeze brushes over the blue waves of Beibu Gulf, Beihai in Guangxi stretches out like a poetic painting under warm sunshine—the powdery Silver Beach extends for kilometers, the sunset melts gold over the sea, and the old street arcades hide a century of Nanyang charm. There’s no harsh winter, only a gentle autumn at 23°C. In three days and two nights, a 3.5-hour high-speed train ride from Guangzhou brings you here to stroll slowly, daydream, and eat seafood under swaying coconut shadows, making the whole autumn lazy and abundant. Day 1: First Encounter with Beihai, Stroll Silver Beach to Chase the Sunset After arriving at Beihai Station, check in at the [Seaside Homestay near Qiaogang Style Street] (about 320 RMB/night), just a short walk to the beach. In the afternoon, head straight to [Beihai Silver Beach]—“long beach, fine white sand, clean warm water.” Barefoot on the singing sand, waves gently kiss your ankles, and sailboats dot the distance. In the evening, sit by the sea and wait for a magnificent sunset as the sky shifts from orange-red to purple-gray, incredibly romantic. Dinner is at [Qiaogang Sweet Soup Street], with a bowl of chilled Qingbuliang dessert + crispy crab vermicelli, plus a plate of spicy stir-fried sea snails. Around 50 RMB per person to start a feast for your taste buds. Day 2: Taste the Old Town, Light in the Depths of the Arcade In the morning, walk into the century-old [Beihai Old Street], where the bluestone road is flanked by weathered arcade buildings. Under the Nanyang-style carved window frames lie countless authentic delicacies. Try the fresh shrimp and beef rice rolls from [Uncle Changfen], drizzled with secret yellow skin sauce, tender and juicy; then a bowl of [Vietnamese Rice Noodle Rolls], with thin rice sheets dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce. In the afternoon, hike the forest trail at [Guantouling National Forest Park] (entrance 40 RMB), overlooking the entire city and coastline. At dusk, choose the [Jinhai Bay Mangrove] tidal experience (entrance 70 RMB including guide), digging for sand worms and picking small crabs at low tide, endless fun. Day 3: Weizhou Island Day Tour or Seafood Feast Before Departure If time allows, join the [Weizhou Island One-Day Pure Tour] (about 380 RMB including ferry and entrance fees) to see volcanic rock wonders, colorful reefs, and the Catholic church heritage; if you prefer a relaxed ending, stay in the city to feast on seafood—recommended is [Waisha Seafood Island] where you pick and cook on the spot: steamed grouper, garlic scallops, salt and pepper mantis shrimp... Around 120 RMB per person for a lavish and satisfying meal. 💰 Budget Reference (Per Person) Transportation (round-trip high-speed train + local taxis): about 600 RMB Accommodation (2 nights): about 640 RMB Meals (80 RMB/day × 3): 240 RMB Tickets + Experiences: 110 RMB Total: about 1600 RMB In Beihai’s autumn, you once wrote your name on Silver Beach, only to have it gently erased by the waves; you also once caught a whiff of century-old coffee aroma around a corner in the old street. For less than 1600 RMB, you can exchange for the gentle hospitality of a coastal town— here there is sea, wind, the warmth of everyday life, and you, in this season, deeply embracing the autumn of the South. 🌊 This autumn, go to Beihai, let your heart rise and fall with the waves, free as ever.
