Huizhou is great, but I won't go again

Hi everyone! I just got back from Huizhou~ As a first-time visitor, I really think this city full of life is perfect for a slow-paced trip! I've compiled a super detailed "guide to avoiding pitfalls + treasure tips", so quickly take out your notebook 📒 and follow my steps to unlock the right way to experience Huizhou~💃 🌟 [Pre-trip Tips: Understand these things before you go!] ✅ Transportation Guide: ✈️ Travelers from other places can fly directly to Shenzhen/Guangzhou Airport, and then take the high-speed train to "Huizhou South Station" or "Huidong Station". The journey takes about 1 hour, which is super convenient~🚄 🚗 It is recommended to take a taxi/bus in the city. The distance between attractions is not too far, and a taxi basically costs 20–40 yuan! If you are traveling with multiple people, it is more cost-effective to charter a car~ ✅ Weather & Clothing: 🌞 Huizhou is warm in all seasons. In spring, wear a thin coat + long sleeves. In summer, wear short sleeves and shorts directly (remember to bring sunscreen!). A sweatshirt is enough for autumn and winter~🌧️ Remember to bring a folding umbrella with you during the rainy season. There will occasionally be showers by the sea! ✅ Must-have items: 👓 Sunglasses, sunscreen (the ultraviolet rays on the beach are super strong!), comfortable sneakers (you won't be tired even if you walk all day), a power bank (there are not many rental points around the scenic spots), and a student ID (some scenic spots have discounts)~ 🌊 [Must-visit attractions: Locals' private treasure spots are revealed!] 🌿 Huizhou West Lake: The poetic romance of the Lingnan version of "Little Jiangnan" 🌷 I didn't expect Huizhou to have such a beautiful West Lake! The lake is sparkling, and the Nine-Bend Bridge and the Lakeside Pavilion are great for taking ancient-style photos📸~ It is recommended to go before 9am or in the evening. There are fewer people and the scenery is beautiful, and you can also see egrets flying by! When walking around the lake, remember to buy a "West Lake Ice Cream" to check in🍦. The matcha and coconut flavors are super delicious~ 🏖️ Xunliao Bay: Enjoy a piece of blue sea and sky 🐚 This crescent-shaped beach is really amazing! The sand is so fine that it is super comfortable to step on barefoot~ You can experience sailing ⛵️ and digging for shells (remember to bring a small shovel!). In the evening, sit by the sea and drink coconut water 🥥, watching the sunset dye the sky orange, the atmosphere is directly full~ By the way, the nearby "Mozi Stone Park" has super cool reef groups, and the photos are amazing! 🌅 Shuangyue Bay: See the romantic double of "sunset + sunrise" at once 🌄 It is strongly recommended to stay for one night! Hike in Turtle Bay during the day 🚶‍♀️, watch the waves hit the rocks along the "Huixian Bridge", and encounter super cute baby turtles~ In the evening, go to the "Spanish Style Town" for shopping and eating, and set off fireworks by the sea at night 🎆~ Get up early the next day and go to the "Observation Deck" to watch the sunrise, overlooking the "double moon" spectacle composed of two bays. The naked eye is 100 times more shocking than the photos! 🍽️ [Food Radar: You will regret not eating these local delicacies!] 🍲 Danshui Old Street: The atmosphere of life hidden in the alleys ✔️ "Grandma's Roasted Goose": The goose meat is soft and delicious, and you can eat three bowls of rice with the sauce! 🍚 ✔️ "Stuffed Tofu": A classic Hakka dish, tofu wrapped in meat filling, so fresh that your eyebrows will fall off~🥢 ✔️ "Grandma Cries": Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, shredded radish fritters, perfect with sweet and spicy sauce! 🌶️ 🦪 Must-eat by the sea: A seafood feast that is so fresh you will stomp your feet It is recommended to go to "Xiayong Seafood Market" to pick fresh seafood for processing~ Mantis shrimp, sea snails, and Hele crabs are must-orders! 💰 Remember to cut the price in half~ Pair it with a bowl of "Sampan Congee", it's so fresh that you can drink all the soup! 🦀 🍧 Dessert crit: Happiness that cools down in a second "Sugar Water Shop" is the soul of Huizhou people! Recommended "Mung Bean Paste + Lotus Seeds" and "Taro Sago", the ingredients are super sufficient~ Have a bowl of "Qingbuliang" in summer, with coconut milk shaved ice, it's amazing! 🧊 🛏️ [Accommodation recommendation: Choose according to your needs and avoid pitfalls!] 🏨 City Center Party: It is recommended to live near "Huamao Center", which is convenient for transportation, and you can also go shopping in the mall at night~ The cost-effective "Atour Hotel" and "Vienna" are both good, and it is a 10-minute walk to West Lake! 🌊 Seaside Party: Xunliao Bay's "Sea Park Apartment" has a super awesome first-line sea view room. Open the window and you can see the sea~ Shuangyue Bay has an Instagram-worthy infinity pool, and you will be asked about it when you post photos on WeChat Moments! 📸 ⚠️ [Pitfall reminder: You must know this for your first time!] 1. Sun protection by the sea: Remember to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours! Sunglasses and sun hats are essential, otherwise you will be tanned in minutes😭 2. Anti-pit guide: Be cautious about spending money on fruit stalls and souvenir shops around the scenic spots. Ask for the price before you start~ 3. Avoid traffic pitfalls: Don't pay attention to the solicitors around the train station/airport! It is safer to use regular taxi-hailing software~ 4. Environmental awareness: Remember to take away the garbage when playing by the sea and protect this beautiful coastline~🌍 💖 Summary: Huizhou is really a city that you will "fall in love with if you slow down"~ Whether it is the poetry of West Lake, the romance of the seaside, or the atmosphere of life in the streets and alleys, it makes people want to come a second time.
