Transportation: Take bus No. 2/10 and get off at Jinsha Bay Station Self-driving: Park parking lot CNY 10/time (arrive early on weekends as parking spaces are limited) ## Travel Guide Jinsha Bay Seaside Park is divided into three parts: the seaside leisure area, the mangrove ecological area, and the sea-viewing corridor. The recommended order of play is: Seaside Beach > Coconut Grove Trail > Sea-viewing Platform > Mangrove Boardwalk > Lighthouse Square 1. Seaside Beach (recommended time: 8:00–10:00): There are fewer people and finer sand in the early morning, which is suitable for taking sunrise silhouette photos. There are colorful parasols and popular swings on the beach. 2. Coconut Grove Trail (all day): The 300m-long coconut tree corridor with mottled shadows is especially suitable for taking Mori-style photos. There are fresh coconut juice stalls at the end of the trail. 3. Mangrove Boardwalk (low tide): It is recommended to check the tide chart for the day. You can see fiddler crabs and mudskippers at low tide. Both sides of the boardwalk are excellent photography spots. 4. Lighthouse Square (sunset): The white lighthouse + red navigation mark combination. There are often street performers in the evening, and the background is the sunset of the Qiongzhou Strait. Special tips: The "blue tears" spectacle (noctiluca scintillans outbreak) can be seen from May to September. There is a seafood stall street on the west side of the park. It is recommended to try grilled oysters. Sun protection! The intensity of ultraviolet rays in Zhanjiang is high all year round. Photography suggestions: Bring a wide-angle lens to take sea view photos, and a telephoto lens to capture the mangrove forest ecology. Come to Zhanjiang this summer to experience the blue romance of the South China Sea! (Special events such as the Fishing Festival in August and the Beach Music Festival in October can be added according to the actual situation.)
