An amazing getaway from Beijing. I try to go once a year to the beach nearest to the capital and I love to go in may before the crowds start coming. The weather is not that warm in may but I just love to feel the sand under my feet. This time we drove a car to Aranya. It took about 3 hours each way. As an alternative you can take a train from Beijing to Beidaihe or Qinhuangdao train station, they are not so far apart and from the station it’s very easy to take a taxi or DiDi. Aranya is a closed community with hotels, apartments, restaurants, shops, cinema and you need to live in one of the hotels or go to an event to be able to get access to enter. Once inside it is so amazing nice. The beach stretch is quite long and you can find a church, library and bars along the beach. As we entered we had lunch at HE Kitchen before heading to the beach. In the evening we had shake shack however there are multiple options for food if you want to explore. Very satisfying to just be by the ocean and get some vitamin Sea 🌊 #2023travelwish #passionpassport #Beidaihe #Aranya

As the most famous high-end leisure area around Beijing, Anaya has been very popular for a while. Many people choose to go there in summer, but I actually prefer Anaya in winter. Winter is definitely the off-season. The advantages of the off-season are, first, fewer people, and second, cheaper accommodation. Accommodation that costs two to three thousand yuan during the peak season can be managed for only six to seven hundred yuan in winter! The most important thing is that the sea in winter has a unique charm: cold, aloof, and clear. Only at the lonely seaside in winter can you understand why it is called the loneliest library in the world. If you start from Beijing, you can drive about 300 kilometers to the Anaya Gold Coast community. Or you can take a train + taxi, 40 yuan from Changli Railway Station to Anaya / 70 yuan from Beidaihe Railway Station to Anaya / 110 yuan from Qinhuangdao Railway Station to Anaya. #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs

Anaya Photo Raiders: Shoot the most beautiful and most filmed at dusk! came to Anaya and found that it was a little different from what I thought. Of course, the building is still beautiful, and the waters of Beidaihe are also beautiful! And people who often have surfers during the day, sitting on the beach, really enjoy, but when they come to the church of Anaya, there are people except everyone, people, people, want to find a corner of no one to take pictures, That is almost impossible. So, I want to take a panoramic view of the church. I dont know what else to do except the aerial photography. Because its all of them, Ive got a small problem with my aerial photography. Friends did not bring a memory card, only the phone connected to the screenshot, so this picture quality is a bit slag ~ this band can be aerial photography, the plane can fly to shoot, very beautiful ~ morning shot, the sun Big, hard light! The eyes can't open, basically the state of blinking! In the afternoon, the sun is still very large, and more and more people. evening sunset: This time is the best shot, the sun is going down the mountain, the light of the evening is soft and graceful, the angle is good, there will be some light and shadow, it is really Gentle and good-looking ~ In addition to shooting the auditorium, I think it is OK to stand on the beach. If there is a wave, it feels great. This trip, although a lot of people are beyond imagination, but the photos taken are quite satisfactory. PS: Because the building is beige, so just look for a corner, no one, stand, squat, sit and pat, pat, clothes, I think the solid color is pretty good~~ too deep The color is very conflicting, and it may not look good when you shoot it, but this is still a matter of personal preference! 1. Appointment: Search for an appointment on the WeChat public account to visit Anaya. Some attractions have a limited number of appointments per day, which is a fee. I dont remember how much money I can ask. 2. Check-in: Choose to stay in a villa, hotel or hotel in the Anaya community, with a room card or a hotel voucher, you can choose the hotel directly in the WeChat public account! Address: Ana Gold Coast Community, located in the Anaya Auditorium, Gold Coast Central District, Changli County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province

In the past two years, I have basically been taking my baby to Aranya. Apart from digging sand, I have been playing in the water. My bestie asked me if I wanted to have an extreme 2️⃣4️⃣ hours, check in at the classic camera positions, and watch a sunrise over the sea. Let's go🚘! This time, we drove ourselves. If you book a hotel or homestay in Aranya, you can drive into the park (you need to report your license plate number in advance). Free parking is available during your stay. There are plenty of parking spaces in Aranya during the off-season, so you can drive around inside, saving you the time of waiting for the park bus or hotel shuttle bus🤪~~ 🚶‍♂️Itinerary Day 1: Dog House ➡️ Aranya Auditorium ➡️ Tagi. Clock Slide Tapi House ➡️ Dionysus Theater ➡️ Tagi. Store Day 2: Watch the sunrise at Aranya Auditorium ➡️ Lonely Library ➡️ aranya swing ➡️ North Shore Chapel 📷Classic camera positions ✅P2: Dog House, go up the stairs on the right-hand side of the entrance to the second floor. We took the photo at 2pm. The atmosphere is better when the sunset shines through the gaps at around 5pm. Remember to make a reservation in advance. ✅P3: Dionysus Theater, pretending to be in Rome. The photographer walks to the top of the steps and shoots from above. ✅P4: Aranya Auditorium. Because it was raining, I took a photo of the empty auditorium. Usually, you can go there after watching the sunrise (around 8–9am) when there are relatively few people. ✅P5: Lonely Library. 🙅 No photos are allowed inside the library. The most recommended is this popular frame. No reservation is required. The effect is best at sunrise or dusk, but be prepared to wait in line for more than 30 minutes… ✅P6: Xiao Ye Sculpture, north of the Lonely Library. Watch the sunrise by the sea with Xiao Ye. ✅P7-8: Tagi. Clock Slide Tapi House (P7) and Tagi. Store (P8). Tapi House is located north of the skate park in the Phase 6 Cultural and Creative Block. The store can be seen across the road and a little further north. ✅P9: North Shore Chapel, a new check-in spot. You can also take photos inside the chapel, but it is a bit far from the main park area. You can drive there or take the park shuttle bus, which runs every half hour. ✅P10: aranya swing, on the beach north of the Lonely Library. In addition to the letter swing, there are many ordinary swings here. It is so healing to sit on it and look out at the sea💕 ⚠️The Seaside Concert Hall (Red House) is currently under renovation and cannot be photographed.

#chinatrip I came to Aranya, which I had been wanting to visit for a long time. I went to Aranya Auditorium, Lonely Library, Art Center, Dune Art Museum, Ono Exhibition, North Shore, etc. I ate in 5 clean, delicious and cost-effective canteens. I stayed in Suka and Anlan, and the experience was good. In just two days, I was immersed in it. I was still not satisfied, and I started to miss it when I left. It is worth repurchasing. There are only zero times and countless times in Aranya. Aranya not only has beautiful scenery and delicious food, but also snacks, drinks and toiletries sets of the hotel. The toiletries set is Aranya's own niche brand. Especially Suka Hotel, The Lugatu toiletries set, a combination of shampoo + conditioner + shower gel, is actually 80ml, with dense foam and comfortable body feeling. The smell of sandalwood, a light high-end fragrance. I liked them the first time I used them, so I took them all away. The wide-headed toothbrush is also very useful, but I forgot to take it. n

#chinatrip 🧩 Picture 1⃣️ Aranya Auditorium There are many people in the auditorium, so you can take pictures from a distance, or you can raise the camera up to block the crowd taking pictures in the auditorium. Picture 2⃣️ 3⃣️ Lonely Library You need to make an appointment in advance to enter the library. You can't take pictures inside. You need to queue up for the most popular camera position. You can also take pictures from the side. Sitting on a chair outside the library is also a good camera position.

Aranya in winter is truly a peaceful and beautiful place. As soon as you step in, you can feel the cool and pure air. Although the weather is a bit cold, the unique atmosphere is really intoxicating. I have to say, the Aranya Chapel is a great place to take photos. In winter, there are very few people there, so I can stand quietly in front of the chapel and feel the sea breeze on my face, as if the whole world has quieted down. The interior design of the chapel is also simple and elegant, and you can see the sea view outside through the windows, which is really beautiful. There is also the Lonely Library, which is known as the warmest place in Aranya in winter. I went in for a stroll and found that there was a wide variety of books, and the environment was very comfortable. I found a corner to sit down and read quietly for a while, and I felt that my soul was nourished. Of course, the sunrise and sunset in Aranya are not to be missed. I got up early to watch the sunrise. Although the weather was a bit cold, when I saw the sun slowly rising from the sea level, I really felt that it was all worth it. At sunset, I stood by the sea with my coat on and watched the sunset slowly sink into the sea. The beauty of the scene was really unforgettable. Speaking of food, there are many good options in Aranya. I tried the saozi noodles and fried noodles at the Yellow River Estuary Restaurant, and they were really delicious and reasonably priced. There were also skewers, milk rice wine, and other snacks that made me very happy. As for accommodation, I chose a homestay in Aranya, which was very cozy and well-equipped. Transportation is also quite convenient. You can take a train to Changli Station and then take a taxi to Aranya. There are also many shuttle buses in the park, so it is very convenient to get around. However, it is important to note that winter is the off-season for tourism in Aranya, so there are relatively few tourists. It is best to plan your itinerary and route in advance before you travel. Overall, Aranya in winter is really a place worth visiting. If you also like a quiet and beautiful atmosphere, you might want to experience it!

- If you come to Aranya and don't visit the Aranya Chapel, your trip will be incomplete. The pure white Aranya Chapel stands alone by the sea and has become a landmark of Aranya, attracting every visitor to Aranya. 🙂 . As a landmark building of Aranya, the building was designed by Chinese graphic designer Dong Gong, and the design inspiration came from the work "Christina's World" by American painter Andrew Wyeth. 🖼️ The original idea of the building was to create a spiritual place for the community, but with the spread of its reputation, it has now been given many new functions, such as art exhibitions and concerts, and has become an art and cultural space in Aranya. . 👉Tour experience After experiencing the cold wind for more than an hour in the morning, we went back to the hotel to warm up and then started our morning tour with my wife and kids. Since the restaurant with the voucher from the hotel opened late, we had plenty of time, so we decided to visit the church and the library. The weather did not affect the tourists' interest, and it was not easy to find a place with no people around. The tour was not long, and the interior space of the church was not large, so the beauty was more external (⚠️ No photos are allowed inside, so I didn't take any). . 👉Photography tips 1️⃣ If you have a drone, it is suitable for taking aerial photos of people and the church, but you need to find a time to avoid the crowds, which is very patience-testing. 😌 2️⃣ Many angles of the church are very suitable for minimalist composition. In winter, there are relatively fewer people, so you can take a clean background photo by waiting for a while after finding a good view. 3️⃣ Try to choose solid color clothes, which are more compatible with the color style of the church. 🙂 . 📍Address: Aranya Chapel, Changli County, Qinhuangdao City

🌞 When the sun rises, the sea looks like it has been enchanted, turning a beautiful orange color. 😍 The lonely church looks even more mysterious in the morning light. The flying seagulls are like elves in the sky, and the romantic swings sway gently in the sea breeze. The romantic sunrise in Aranya is something I could never get tired of watching. I could watch it forever! 💕 Now, let me share my Aranya travel guide with you. 👇 🚗 [Transportation] You can take a high-speed train to Beidaihe Station or Changli Station, and then take a taxi. It takes about half an hour to get to the Aranya community. 😎 I recommend staying in the scenic area, so it's convenient to get up early to watch the sunrise. 🛏️ 🌅 [Sunrise] The sunrise is around 6:30 am, but the light of the sunrise actually starts around 5:30 am. The light at this time is very soft and beautiful, and the photos taken are amazing. 📷 📸 [Photo Guide] 1. 🌊 Aranya Chapel Whether at sunrise or during the blue hour, from the front or the side, this sacred church is super photogenic! It's like it has its own halo, and it looks beautiful no matter how you take the photo. 😎 2. 📖 Lonely Library It's on the left side of the church, just a few steps away. It has a frame structure, and when you take photos at sunrise, the atmosphere is amazing. 👏 3. ☕ Bar Lotus The first floor is full of autumn atmosphere with reeds, and the second floor has windows facing the sea. This is a treasure coffee shop. You can take artistic photos here. 😜 4. 🐶 Kennel In the afternoon, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the building, forming a beautiful beam of light, like a dream world. The light and shadow effects are amazing. 🤩 5. 🎠 Swings There are many swings on the beach. Sitting on the swing, facing the sea, it feels like you're heading towards freedom. Any photo you take will look great. 😎 6. 🐦 Seagulls I didn't expect there to be so many seagulls in Aranya. You can prepare some bread, feed the seagulls, and take photos. The scene is really beautiful. 🥰 ❄️ [Notes] It's quite cold by the sea in winter, so make sure to keep warm and don't catch a cold.

The Aranya Chapel is a famous building located in the Beidaihe New District of Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. It has become a spiritual symbol of the Aranya community along with the Lonely Library.

The white exterior is particularly eye-catching by the sea, making it a popular check-in spot for tourists and photography enthusiasts. The Aranya Chapel is not only a religious space, but also carries the function of community cultural activities, such as concerts, art exhibitions, etc. Its design concept emphasizes harmonious coexistence with nature. The interior space introduces natural light through the gaps between the walls, creating a quiet and sacred atmosphere. The pointed roof design of the chapel allows natural light to penetrate into the interior at specific times, forming a unique light and shadow effect.

All the following are experiences without any nonsense ✔️ Tips that must be placed at the front: 1️⃣ Download the Aranya app in advance, the whole day's itinerary depends on it 2️⃣ Drive or take a taxi directly to South Gate 2! 👉🏻 Ways to enter the park: 1️⃣ Free visitor channel reservation 🆓 A small number of tickets will be released every day, but this cannot take the park bus! 2️⃣ Search for 'UCCA Contemporary Art Center' and spend 💰100 yuan to buy a ticket and you can roam freely! (At first, I was reluctant, but later I found it super worth it 👏) Walk 200 meters to the right after entering the park to see the bus stop. You can choose to continue walking forward to check in at the Tagi 🍎 Apple House, or wait for the bus to go directly to the UCCA Art Museum. After all, you spent the money, you always have to come and see 👀. There are many places in the art museum where you can take photos, be sure to go up to the rooftop terrace! Coming out of UCCA is the most beautiful sea in the north (personal opinion 🤣). The sand won't hurt your feet, the sea is very blue and healing, and there won't be too many people like dumplings. For photos, I personally tested that you must wear a light-colored long dress!! Any shot will be beautiful 👏. The price of seaside projects was a bit beyond my expectations, I thought it would be very expensive. For those seeking excitement, choose a jet ski, the calmest is a sailboat. I chose the small happy speedboat. Looking back at the sea at sunset, the sunlight sprinkled on the sea like stars, it was really romantic! Then I must remind everyone to try not to go to eat at peak times. We decided to go at four in the afternoon, and by six or seven o'clock, we were so hungry that we couldn't find a place to eat (but I can responsibly recommend Yellow River into the Sea (Shaanxi cuisine) / Shack Shake (burgers) / Green Bag Bread, all of which I have personally tried and are not disappointing!) Starving, we stumbled into the convenience store 'Seaside Market', super fun to shop, super photogenic 📷, all the snacks are super interesting, and the famous Aranya mineral water can also be bought here. The newly opened Tagi Pink House is also not far from it. Out of the Pink House is the bus stop, first go to the food center to eat and transfer, then change to another bus to the church and the Lonely Library. The buses here are a bit chaotic, you can ask the surrounding staff more, they are all super nice ~ There are more people queuing to take pictures at the church, but taking pictures outside the wall is also very photogenic. The whole park is pet-friendly, seeing many dogs really boosts happiness 😆
