Follow in the footsteps of *The Bad Kids* and unlock a retro youth journey.

Here's a detailed guide to Chikan, Zhanjiang (featured in *The Bad Kids*), perfect for young people looking for Instagram-worthy spots. - Clothing: Pack plain or denim retro-style clothes to match the old town atmosphere. - Items: Bring essential items such as mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and a portable charger. Check-in Locations - Zhu Chaoyang's Home: Located at No. 2, Xingfu Heng Road. The red brick walls and green iron gate are full of nostalgic charm. Visit before 9am for fewer crowds and better photos. Bring a math book as a prop and take a picture sitting on the steps by the side door, as if you've traveled back in time to the show. - Benli Grocery Store: This small shop with a red sign is located on the corner of Xinhua Road. Buy a popsicle and imitate Zhang Dongsheng buying soda. Add a retro filter, and you'll be instantly transported back to the year 2000. - Shui Jing Tou Fried Dough Sticks: Now located at No. 14, Dazhong Road, Rongshu Bay Food Court. Get up early to experience the same lively atmosphere as in the show and enjoy fried dough sticks, seafood lo mein, and other local specialties. - The Deadly Corner of the Old Staircase: The sloping staircase of the blue brick building on Minquan Road. The low-angle shot is super impressive, and wearing white clothes makes for even better photos. Please be quiet when taking pictures so as not to disturb the residents. - Grandma's Barber Shop: At the corner of No. 31 Heping Road, with a blue wooden door. Get a 90s haircut for just 10 yuan. The old-fashioned perm machine and vanity mirror create a perfect photo opportunity. - Nan Hua Grand Hotel: Located prominently on a street corner in Chikan's old town. This four-story building with gray-white gable walls and blue window decorations extends in a fan shape towards two streets. It was the most upscale place to visit in the 1940s. - Chamber of Commerce of Guangzhou Bay: Located on Minzhu Road, Chikan. Completed in 1925 and funded by various businesses in Chikan, it features Lingnan arcade architecture combined with a French-style clock tower, equipped with a chiming clock. - Jinsha Bay Seaside Corridor: Stroll along the corridor, enjoy the sea view, and gaze at the distant Haiwan Bridge. This is where the beach scenes in the show were filmed. Enjoy a stunning sunset here in the evening. Food Recommendations - Seafood: As a coastal city, Zhanjiang offers abundant and fresh seafood. Visit the local seafood market to make your selection, then find a restaurant to have it cooked. - Local Snacks: In addition to the fried dough sticks and seafood lo mein at Shui Jing Tou, try local snacks such as duck cakes, seafood chicken biscuits, and rice noodle rolls. Transportation Guide - External Transportation: Arrive at Zhanjiang Airport or Zhanjiang High-Speed Railway Station, then transfer to local transportation to Chikan District. - Internal Transportation: Attractions in Chikan's old town are relatively close together, so you can walk or cycle. To reach the more distant Jinsha Bay Seaside Corridor, take a bus or taxi.
