[Winter Starry Sea Roaming: Encounter the Blue Romance at 39°N]

When the north wind covers Bohai Bay with a cool filter, Xinghai Square sheds its summer hustle and bustle, transforming into a silver-white canvas. Seagulls skim over the century-old lighthouse in the morning mist, snatching the last breadcrumbs from the palms of visitors, letting the winter sea and sky play a lively poem. The midday sun pours onto the kilometer-long book-shaped square, the snow reflecting a faint light on the bronze footprints. Waves push broken ice to gently kiss the reefs, while in the distance, the Cross-Sea Bridge lies like a silver dragon, its towers cutting into the cobalt blue sky unique to winter. Stroll along the boardwalk at this moment, each step striking a chord of ice crystals and sunlight. Dusk is the best time to climb Lotus Mountain and watch the Xinghai Bay Bridge light up with golden lights, winding like a Milky Way falling to earth. The neon lights of the buildings on the opposite shore gradually bloom, casting colorful halos on the frosted glass windows. Hold a coffee in your hand and lean against the railing to gaze into the distance, as the starlight sprinkles thousands of tiny diamonds onto the inky sea. Tips: ▫️Seagull feeding spot is most active at 10:00 am daily. ▫️The blue moment of the Cross-Sea Bridge is 20 minutes after sunset. ▫️Recommended pairing: Caramel Chestnut Latte with the winter seascape. When the northern sea is covered with a coat of ice crystals, the gentle warmth of the ice-free port still flows here. Come and waltz with the biting sea breeze, and let the winter of Xinghai Bay brew into a clear and sweet wine in your memory.
