Avoid tourist traps with the Beijing-Qinhuangdao travel guide for a two-day, one-night trip||| If I had to name the city in Hebei I've visited the most, aside from my hometown, it would be Qinhuangdao. I used to think that summer was the only suitable time to go to the beach to enjoy the sun and sand, but ever since I met my girlfriend, I've discovered how beautiful the island is during the off-season. 'So close, so beautiful, weekend trips to Hebei'—Qinhuangdao 🚞: 8:15-11:50 Beijing-Qinhuangdao soft seat💰66.5 (Taking the high-speed train from Beijing is not cost-effective, doesn't feel much faster) 🏨 Accommodation: Jinmeng Bay has many B&Bs (first-line sea view rooms are very nice) ❄️ Off-season: Weekends 200+, winter only 100+ so off-season is really a good deal! 🔥 Peak season: Expect to pay six to seven hundred during the May Day holiday or summer vacation (staying in the Haigang district is more cost-effective‼️) 🚗 Transportation: Taxis and ride-hailing are very convenient and not expensive, if it's close by, riding a shared electric bike is also good. Day 1⃣️: When you're at the seaside, of course, you have to eat seafood, I've personally tried two places that are not bad. Per person 💰100 🦐 Kun Wu Seafood Big Shot: Reasonably priced, an old local shop, a big pot is quite satisfying to eat. 🦀️ Xiao Jie Affordable Seafood: Their mantis shrimps are very large and all alive, very fresh, the spicy crab is also good, the boss and waiters are very nice, and the price is okay. Afternoon ⛲️ Xigang Garden: As Qinhuangdao's version of 'Little Kamakura', Xigang Garden, which used to be an old port, is especially suitable for walking and taking photos📷. Dock, lighthouse, ship, sea, railway, retro buildings, you can think of all the places to take photos. If you're tired, you can also go to a coffee shop to rest. ⛩️ Qinhuang Alley: A place with a local atmosphere at night! 🥔 Mashed Potato Stew: Sticky mashed potatoes with glutinous stew, plus sesame sauce and vinegar, are especially fragrant. 🍜 Fried Noodle Skin: The first time I heard about it on the island, after frying with shredded potatoes, then mixing with sesame sauce and small ingredients, it's especially delicious when dipped in soup. 🧋 Blushing Qin Tian Tian: A local milk tea shop on the island, quaint and tasty, and cheap, with an average price of around 10💰! Day 2️⃣ 🌊 Jinmeng Bay: If the weather is good, you can get up early to watch the sunrise🌅, if you stay by the sea, the beach is right downstairs, friends who live in the city can also come directly, and after watching, you can go to the beach. The island's off-season beach and sea🌊 are super clean, the whole sea is shining, and you can also feed seagulls! Tiffany green from KFC is also there Noon 🌶️ Gele Mountain · Sichuan Small Restaurant: (Exclusive recommendation!) Super delicious Sichuan cuisine on the island, I've been there several times with my girlfriend, close to the seaside, the fragrant spicy chicken, ordinary potato slices are not ordinary at all, glutinous fresh pepper pig's trotters are very tasty! In the afternoon, you can go to the Qinhuangdao Museum for a visit, and the garlic sauce barbecue and fried meat are also delicious! In short, the off-season island feels like a high cost-performance ratio and beautiful scenery. If you don't consider going into the sea to play, I really recommend visiting!

I really like the sea in Qinhuangdao in January ( The white frozen sea, the blue sky, the red lighthouse, I have an illusion of being in Iceland FREE Free! FREE Free! And the seagulls from Siberia, I brought seagull food Seeing the red lighthouse by the sea It's like a scene in Miyazaki's comics I love this unpopular and deserted seaside in Qinhuangdao too much I brought a fountain and fireworks, it's so romantic! But it's not obvious at night Sisters, come and take pictures while there are not many people! The lanterns are also brought by myself~ In order to set off the atmosphere of the upcoming New Year, Beidaihe Dongshan Bathing Beach (A little bit of the beach in front of Pigeon Nest Park)|Free

Dr. Sinbeson Theme park in Beidaihe,Qinhuangdao! This theme park is small but super nice! You can explore the castle inside and if you go up to the roof it offers a beautiful view of the park! There was a nice restaurant and bar too! The ticket price is only 10 rmb! #themepark #themeparks

Day of the dead ft halloween ghost train! This was an amazing event that we hosted at Clubmed Joyview Golden Coast for Halloween last year. Everyone dressed up as the characters from the animation movie Coco and we set out to make a ghost train scareing people as they passed through. Fun was had by all at the Halloween after party! #hallotrip

Beidaihe Gold Coast, the new photo punching place is here! A few days ago, I came back from Qindaidao Beidaihe. I have to say that Qinhuangdao is really a good place to take a summer vacation. There is no summer heat. I walked by the sea, and the sea breeze blows away and blows away the heat. It was cool and so comfortable. In Beidaihe these days, I found a good place to take pictures! There are various kinds of red card punching elements here, such as seaside swings, hot air balloons, helicopters, glass boats, and bird nests! The background is the sea, and the endless sea is super good! Here is the fishing island, located in Changli County, next to the Anaya community. But here is more suitable for vacation! It is a great place to relax! There is a lavender manor on the fishing island. This is the season of lavender bloom. The purple ocean is so beautiful. The small train around the lavender manor is also a good shot. The retro-style train is also a special style! There are also exciting outdoor hot springs! There are several large pools in the outdoor hot springs. I probably have no one at 7 o'clock in the past. Oh, and the sunset glow is super beautiful. The island is not only suitable for a family vacation, but also suitable for taking photos with girlfriends. In the few days here, I feel like I have given myself a long vacation, and my body and mind have been relaxed! ! And to be honest, its better than Anaya! Praise

In the Pingshuiqiao Park in Beidaihe District, a thin layer of ice covers the entire coastline, forming a peculiar ice sea landscape. The landscape stretches along the coastline, such as white silk scarves set on the beach, and several fishing boats are scattered among them, matching the fishing boats in the sea. Under the action of seawater and wind, sea ice forms different characteristics, some of which are wavy, some are blocky, and some are like snow peaks floating on wetlands. The sea ice extends to the surface of the sea and blends with the surrounding reefs. It is spectacular. To appreciate the magnificent scene, always have to suffer, and pay more hard work for ordinary people. Get up at 5:30, the island is here at six o'clock, the frozen seaside is very quiet, there are about a few photographers. We are all hard people and happy people. I like sunrise, prefer the sunrise of the ice sea.

Complete Beidaihe Travel Guide is here! I. Preparation 1. Documents: Bring your ID card, which may be needed for accommodation and some scenic area transportation. 2. Clothing: For summer visits, pack light, breathable clothes like short-sleeve shirts, shorts, and dresses. Also bring a light jacket as evenings by the sea can be cool. In spring and fall, temperatures average between 10-25°C, so bring long-sleeve shirts and light sweaters. Winter is quite cold, requiring thick cotton clothes, scarves, and gloves. 3. Sun protection: Sunglasses, sun hats, high SPF sunscreen, and UV-protective clothing are essential as UV rays are strong by the seaside. 4. Other items: Comfortable sandals for walking on the beach, swimwear and swimming cap/goggles (if you plan to swim), and a power bank to keep your electronic devices charged. II. Transportation Guide 1. Getting there - By air: Fly to Beidaihe Airport, then take the airport bus to downtown Beidaihe (20-40 yuan, 1-1.5 hours). Taxis are also available but more expensive (100-150 yuan). - By train: Beidaihe Station is closer to the scenic areas. From there, you can take buses or taxis to various attractions. If you arrive at Qinhuangdao Station, you can also take public transportation or taxis, though it's farther from Beidaihe scenic area (40-60 minutes by bus). 2. Getting around - Buses: Beidaihe's bus routes cover most attractions, making travel convenient. Fares are typically 1-2 yuan. You can get a digital bus card by searching "Qinhuangdao Public Transit E-Card" in Alipay or WeChat. - Taxis: Convenient in the city center, but traffic jams may occur during peak tourist season. - Shared bikes: Many bike-sharing stations are available along the coast. Rent a bike and ride along the coastline to enjoy the sea breeze—relaxing and liberating. III. Recommended Attractions 1. Beidaihe Beach: Fine sand and clear water. Come early to watch the sunrise over the sea; stroll along the beach in the evening to enjoy the sunset. It's open all day and free of charge. 2.

Admission is about 25 yuan, and the best times to visit are early morning and evening. Here you can birdwatch and collect shells at low tide. 3. Xianluodao Island: Take a cable car across the sea to reach the island. From the cable car, you can overlook the vast ocean.

Lianfeng Mountain Park: With rolling hills and fresh air, it's perfect for hiking. From the top, you can overlook the panorama of Beidaihe and its beautiful coastline. Admission is about 25 yuan. Best visited in the morning or afternoon for a peaceful walk in nature. IV. Food Guide 1. Seafood: Beidaihe offers abundant fresh seafood. Recommended: crabs, mantis shrimp, and scallops. You can select seafood at the market and have nearby restaurants cook it for you. Processing fees vary by cooking method and restaurant, generally 10-30 yuan per 500g.

| Winter Love Song at Beidaihe's Orange Sea. The winter sea at Beidaihe is like frozen poetry and flowing art. When morning light reddens the sea surface, orange ripples soften the northern chill. This two-day, one-night budget guide helps you encounter the most healing romance of Bohai Bay with the lightest footsteps. Day 1: Chasing a Golden Sunset at Tiger Stone Beach After arriving at Beidaihe in the afternoon, head to Tiger Stone Beach (free admission). Around 4:30 PM, the sunset gilds the reefs amber. Waves gently lap against the stone walls as fishing boats return to harbor, their silhouettes merging with the twilight. On clear days, the sunset bathes the entire orange sea in a glow—a perfect wallpaper straight from your phone camera. Overnight: Cozy Guesthouse near Dove's Nest Choose the "Sea Time" guesthouse near Dove's Nest (150 yuan/night in low season), just a 5-minute walk to the seaside. The host's homemade seafood porridge is both warming and affordable, and from the windowsill, you can glimpse the sea at dawn. Day 2: Ice Sea Wonderland · Private Sunrise at the Deserted Orange Sea In the early morning, head to Sea and Sky Beach to enjoy the poetic dawn in solitude. Avoid the crowds at Dove's Nest and walk 10 minutes from the guesthouse at 6:30 AM to a hidden gem—Sea and Sky Beach (free). Few tourists visit here, where the ice-covered sand resembles a spilled Milky Way. Around 7:10 AM, the horizon turns orange-pink, with ice reflecting golden fragments of light. Walking on the icy sand feels like stepping on stars. Occasional seagulls cross the skyline, and a simple click of the shutter captures the spectacular scene of "ice sea merging with the sky." As the sun rises in the east, a boat appears on the horizon, with the red sun slowly ascending behind it—a breathtaking moment. Location Guide: Walk east along the coastal boardwalk from the guesthouse, passing through a pine forest (ask the host for specific directions). In the morning, visit Shanhaiguan Ancient City to touch the boundary between the Great Wall and the sea. Take bus No. 34 at 9:30 AM to Laolongtou (Old Dragon's Head, 50 yuan admission). Standing where the Great Wall meets the sea, watch the desolate winter waves crash against the base of Chenghai Tower—a stunning intersection of historical significance and natural power. Remnants of snow remain in the shadowed parts of the wall, creating dramatic photos with every shot. In the afternoon, visit Qinhuang Alley. Before returning at 12:30 PM, rush to Qinhuang Alley Night Market. The 5-yuan palm leaf cakes are crispy outside and chewy inside, while the 10-yuan charcoal-grilled squid is fresh and tender. Compared to the bustling Liuzhuang Night Market, this place has more authentic local flavor. Highlights and Practical Tips Excellent Value: About 300 yuan per person for two days (including food, accommodation, and transportation), with off-season discounts on tickets and hotels. Photography Guide: The light is softest half an hour before and after sunrise; wear light-colored clothing for better atmosphere in photos; at Laolongtou, use a wide-angle lens to capture the magnificent convergence of the sea and the Great Wall. Staying Warm: The seaside feels about 5°C colder than downtown, so bring gloves, scarves, and non-slip shoes; attach hand warmers to the back of your phone to prevent low-temperature shutdown. Winter in Beidaihe is a verse of the orange sea, a whisper of icy waves, and a sanctuary for travelers' hearts. When the city's noise is blown away by sea breezes, you'll understand—romance isn't in distant places but in every moment embracing nature.

I didn't have high expectations before coming to Beidaihe, but as soon as we checked into the Qinhuangdao Beidaihe ZD Atour Hotel, we decided this is where we'll stay every time we visit! The hotel is right by the sea🌊, just a 3-minute walk to the beach for photos📸. Holding hands and watching the sunrise together is so romantic🌅❤️ The breakfast was a delightful surprise! Local seafood breakfast🦐🦀, and steaming hot wontons – I fell in love instantly! Atour's quality never disappoints. The bed is super comfortable🛏️, the shower has great water pressure and is separated from the toilet, and the service is exceptional✨ During the day, we went seashell collecting🐚, and in the evening, we had "Ye Cunli Large Stuffed Steamed Dumplings"🥟. The skin was thin, and the filling was juicy and delicious – pure bliss～ The best part is the location, right in the heart of Beidaihe📍, making it easy to get around and close to lots of great food!
