A drone saw a strange phenomenon: the 600-meter sand line after low tide was alive?

[Island] At 10am on the first day, my sun protection jacket suddenly performed a magic trick of floating over the Ten Mile Golden Beach. It was like a jellyfish cast a spell by a siren, suddenly rolling up into a spiral of Turkish ice cream, suddenly stretching out into a flying bath towel in "Spirited Away", and finally landing accurately on the coconut smoothie of the guy at the surfboard rental shop - the most magical way to start this journey was hidden in the pocket of my sun-protection jacket that was blown into a kite by the sea breeze. [Beach] The waves gnaw at the rocks, making a crackling sound similar to opening a blind box. Standing on the "pearl-spitting" beach strip in Dinglong Bay, I suddenly realized that the sea water here might have selective amnesia: in the morning it was the same jelly texture as in the Maldives, at noon it switched to the treasure map filter of Pirates of the Caribbean, and at dusk it suddenly began to imitate the fluorescent sea in "Life of Pi". Three hundred meters away at Texas Water World, the roller coaster was packing screams into cans and pouring them into the salty and humid sea breeze. [One] Transportation Guide 1. Choose your departure location Depart from Guangzhou/Shenzhen High-speed rail: Guangzhou South/Shenzhen North → Wuchuan Station (about 3 hours), then take a taxi to Dinglong Bay (about 30 minutes, 50-70 yuan). Self-driving: Navigate to "Dinglongwan International Ocean Resort", Guangzhou-Zhanjiang Expressway → Shantou-Zhanjiang Expressway, the whole journey takes about 4-5 hours. Depart from Zhanjiang City Public transportation/coach: Take the bus to Wuchuan from Zhanjiang Bus Station, and transfer to the "Wuchuan-Jizhaowan" bus (please confirm the bus in advance). Taxi/self-driving: about 1.5 hours drive (60 kilometers). 2. Aircraft Arrival Zhanjiang Wuchuan Airport → Dinglong Bay, about 40 minutes by taxi (about 100 yuan). [Two] Accommodation Recommendations 1. High-end resort hotel Four Points by Sheraton Dinglong Bay: Sea view rooms, equipped with swimming pool and private beach, suitable for families/couples. Texas Water World Theme Hotel: Family-friendly, close to the water park. 2. Cost-effective selection Holiday apartments/B&Bs: Such as "Dinglong Bay Seaview Apartment", the price is 200-400 yuan/night, cooking is available, and it is suitable for multiple people traveling together. Nearby B&Bs: Stay in B&Bs near Jizhao Bay to experience the fishing village style. Tips: If you book one month in advance during the peak season (summer vacation/holidays), the price may double. [Three] Must-see Attractions 1. Dinglong Bay core area Texas Water World Highlights: large water slide, wave pool, children's playground. Tickets: about 150 yuan for adults and 100 yuan for children (discounts available for online purchases in advance). Lover's Beach: Free and open to the public, suitable for strolling, watching the sunset, and riding beach motorcycles (50 yuan/10 minutes). Umi-no-Yu Onsen: Japanese-style hot spring with multiple pools. Ticket price is about 128 yuan per person. 2. Explore the surrounding area Jizhao Bay Mangrove Wetland: Bird watching on the ecological boardwalk, free of charge. Wuchuan City Cultural Tour (optional): Wuchuan Academy, Meilong Ancient Town (40 minutes by car). [Four] Food Guide 1. Must-try specialties Sandworm porridge: delicious local flavor, recommended "Wangcungang Food Stall". Wuchuan Rice Noodles: Served with crushed peanuts and soy sauce, it is the best choice for breakfast. Charcoal grilled oysters: freshly grilled at Dinglongwan Beach Night Market, about NT$5 per oyster. Boiled Zhanjiang chicken: The meat is tender and smooth, and is perfect with ginger sauce. 2. Recommended restaurants Dinglongwan Seafood Street: Freshly caught seafood, 80-120 yuan per person. Jizhaowan Fishing Village Food Stall: Authentic fisherman’s cuisine, great value for money. Restaurants in the resort: convenient but slightly more expensive, suitable for lazy people. [Five] Itinerary suggestions (3 days and 2 nights) Day 1: Arrival → Check-in → Sunset at Lover’s Beach → Seafood dinner. Day 2: Full-day visit to Texas Water World → Hot spring bath in the evening → BBQ on the beach. Day 3: Hiking in the mangroves → foraging in Wuchuan city → return. [Six] Notes Sun protection and mosquito protection: The ultraviolet rays at the seaside are strong, so prepare SPF50+ sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Swimming safety: obey warning flags (red flags prohibit swimming) and do not go into the sea alone. Avoid typhoon season: There are many typhoons from July to September, so check the weather before traveling. Bargaining tips: You can bargain appropriately at seafood markets/night markets, and ask the price clearly before making a purchase. Environmentally friendly travel: Do not litter and protect the beach environment. Have a great time! If you have enough time, you can visit Zhanjiang Chikan Old Street or Huguangyan to enrich your trip.
