Strolling along the beach, the sea breeze carries the scent of the ocean, making you feel intoxicated. 🌊Hebei・Aranya Aranya is not just a beach; it's a place where art and nature blend perfectly.

The pure white chapel, simple and sacred, nestles against the vast sea, creating a breathtaking picture. Here, you can feel the tranquility and beauty of the sea in an artistic atmosphere, and your soul will be healed. 🌊Hainan・Lingshui・Hainan Lingshui's coastline is winding and charming, with crystal-clear waters, and Fenjiezhou Island embedded like a dazzling pearl.

Here, you can immerse yourself in the gifts of nature and feel the power and gentleness of the sea. 🌊Fujian・Dongshan Island Dongshan Island is full of artistic atmosphere. The colorful houses of Nanmen Bay are scattered along the coast, forming a bright and beautiful landscape. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun spills onto the sea, dyeing the entire bay orange-red, creating a breathtaking view. The beach of Jinluan Bay is flat and wide, and under the sunlight, the seawater shimmers with golden light, like a golden ocean, making every photo a masterpiece. 🌊Shandong・Qingdao・Shandong Qingdao, this coastal city, is exceptionally charming.

Here, you can not only enjoy the magnificent sea view but also encounter stunning sunrises and sunsets, a tranquil and beautiful paradise.

#100waysoftravel Who knows! Every moment that time, I cried so much! Aranya in Qinhuangdao is known as the "Utopia of Literature and Art". This place combines various art forms such as aesthetics, music, literature, architecture, etc. Traveling here provides a transcendent travel art experience, where you can discover romantic little joys in your daily life. There are many cultural attractions that can be visited all year round, and I highly recommend walking in winter and summer as the scenery will be even better. Taichi Yue! Due to the fact that Anaya is different from traditional tourist attractions, it is a closed and privately managed community that can be accessed through the following four channels: 1. Consultation with the property owner: Can Anaya property owners help with the check-in procedures? 2. Admission with a ticket: If there are music festivals, drama festivals, or other performances in the community, you can enter with a ticket. 3. Accommodation guests: Book accommodation for people or hotels in the park, and enter "How to enter Anaya?" based on the reservation information

This is a nice weekend escape from Beijing - around 2hr15 ride on the fast speed train. The library and church are actually part of the Aranya resort and is located on the beach front of the resort. You can chose to stay in the resort or can also stay outside and pay only to enter the library area . I stayed outside and payed an entrance fee. However I would really recommend booking a room and staying in Aranya. You can’t really swim in the sea but the resort seems to have its own pool, restaurant and even a livehouse. Also if are able to avoid the holiday periods - you can actually get some nice deals at Aranya. #chinatravel #wecreate #beijing

Aranya! The best place to visit while you’re in Qinhuangdao! Totally worth it! This “little town” has got everything inside! The beach, many western restaurants and bars, outdoor movie area, cinema, library, church etc! The architecture is very modern! I will definitely return during summer! Would love to spend some summer holidays here! #holidays

The sea is really a romantic place. Whether it is a walk on the beach or the sunrise and sunset at the beach, it is fascinating. Here is the Lonely Library and the white Aranya Auditorium. It's really worthwhile to come to Aranya when the weather is good. Transportation: Take a train from Beijing to Changli or Beidaihe, and after getting off the train, take a taxi to Anaya Community. Or you can drive here directly. Accommodation: If you stay in a hotel or B&B in the Aranya community, you do not need to make separate reservations for the auditorium and library, you can enter directly for a visit. Eating: There are many community canteens and restaurants in Anaya. In the off-season, only the canteens are open, while in the peak season, all the restaurants are open. Shopping: There is a seaside market and library, where fresh snacks and souvenirs can be bought. #Hot summer destination

Friends, I've seen the sea in Qinhuangdao for you, and it's absolutely stunning! I've been to Qinhuangdao three times before, and it was always cloudy, making the seawater look incredibly dull and gray. I thought that was just how it was. 😩 But now‼️ My favorite northern coastal city has finally appeared! 🏖️ Qinhuangdao‼️ It's truly an underrated seaside town. 🏝️ There's more than just Aranya here. 🌊 West Harbor Garden, Azure Coast, Fairy Conch Island, Biluo Tower, Lianfeng Mountain… Each one is more fun than expected✌️ and offers great value. All photos are unedited and unfiltered.

You can skip Aranya, but you must stay at least once at Yun Song EOSO. It's really well done. It's no longer just "staying one night." But a "space-time capsule" to spend 24 hours. Everything/every space that guests will use every hour is prepared to the extreme. It is easy for high-end homestays to make guests feel like they have to put on airs. But everything here will only make me feel "comfortable." Not too much disturbance, not too little attention for even a second. · Whether it was designed by Shūhei Aoyama is no longer so important. What is important is that all design concepts are implemented in a normalized way. · This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at in terms of design concept execution. The design, service, and experience are completely consistent. It's really rare. · Aranya's treasure. It doesn't even need Aranya to add points to it. · Finally, I must sigh again and again and again. "Their trash cans don't have trash bags." Those who understand will understand how detailed and rare this is!

In June, I went to Aranya with my family. I ordered coffee and sat at a scenic spot. Before I could finish my coffee, I was asked to leave because I was "obstructing someone's photo." While walking along the beach near the auditorium, I might have accidentally wandered into someone's shot and was met with a barrage of complaints. Aranya, a place known for its relaxing atmosphere, suddenly made me feel very anxious. I consider myself to be quite observant, but there were still people urging me to hurry up, move away, or even speaking to me rudely. The same camera angles, the same compositions, and the same poses... sometimes, the overwhelming influencer culture does lower our aesthetic standards, making all travel experiences feel less aesthetically pleasing. I remember Jiang Fangzhou saying in a talk show: "The essence of a single aesthetic is our single channel for cultural acceptance. When we lack the experience of appreciating 'beauty' from art forms like reading and movies, and rely solely on influencer culture to define our aesthetics, it leads to a high degree of conformity in our aesthetic concepts. This kind of aesthetic lacks independent experience and is merely a blind pursuit of current trends." The scenery along the way and the feelings of travel shouldn't be uniform, and neither should our judgment of "beauty."

Aranya, located in the Beidaihe New District of Qinhuangdao, Hebei, is a high-end leisure community integrating natural beauty and artistic culture. Here's a guide to Aranya: Must-sees • Aranya Auditorium: The landmark building of Aranya, this white structure stands by the sea with a strong design sense, perfect for photos day and night. • Lonely Library: Known as "the loneliest library in the world," this three-story open space faces the sea, allowing you to sit, listen to the waves, and read. • UCCA Dune Art Museum: This uniquely shaped white cave-like building blends with the coastline.

🏝️ Speaking of romantic things to do in winter, watching the sunrise by the sea and welcoming the arrival of red-billed gulls from Siberia must be on the list. 🪽 This flock of birds travels all the way from distant Siberia. Studies show that their wintering grounds are not limited to the north but also include Yunnan. I've encountered this family of birds in Yunnan before, and I believe it's the same group. 🌊 The sunrise at Aranya happens around 7 a.m. every morning. Initially, I thought it would just be the fiery red sun rising high in the sky. But to my surprise, as I was waiting for the sunrise, a flock of birds flitting about caught my eye. I was standing by the Aranya Auditorium, and there was already a group of people on the beach waiting for the sunrise. The birds flew towards the crowd—oh, they were hungry! Seeing people holding food for them, they eagerly rushed forward to enjoy their breakfast. A mischievous child lit a sparkler nearby, which startled the birds, causing them to fly to the deeper waters further away. They returned after a while when everything was calm again. 🏖️ The sunrise at Aranya is romantic. I've heard it said that you can witness the "Orange Sea" here, where the orange hue dyes the melancholy blue of the sea into the color of orange soda—a little sweet and a little sour. When a ray of sunlight sweeps past you, it's like a blue bag sprinkled with golden sand, absolutely beautiful. At this moment, a flock of red-billed gulls dances with the people. Everything nature bestows upon us is free. As long as you pay attention, everything around you could be a treasure. 🕙 For the best birdwatching experience, arrive an hour before sunrise in winter. Bring binoculars and a camera. 🌅 Sunrise Time: Check the app in advance. ⚠️ Note: You won't see a perfect sunrise every day. You need a clear day. Keep an eye on the weather forecast, though; it's usually accurate. If you stay for a few days, you're bound to see one. 🐦 Bird Species: Mainly Siberian red-billed gulls, the same species seen in Tianjin. Also, black-tailed gulls and common black-headed gulls. 🍽️ Feeding: You can buy special seagull food from seaside shops for CNY 10 per bag. 🚗 Transportation: Bus, taxi, or ride-hailing services. Approximately 30 minutes from Beidaihe Railway Station. Best Birdwatching Time: Winter (November to March), best at sunrise. Location: Aranya Auditorium, Changli County, Qinhuangdao City

📍Location: Aranya, Qinhuangdao 📝Before coming to Aranya, I'd heard online about its strict social hierarchy. They say it's the playground of Beijing's middle class.
