Next to Duhu Seafood Street is the Food Street, where tourists can freely choose to buy delicious and inexpensive fresh seafood, and then pay the processing fee in the Food Street to have it processed and tasted immediately, which is very convenient. When buying seafood, make sure you choose ones that are still alive and moving. Try the "buy materials → process" consumption method In addition to the local seafood of Duhu, there are more and more seafood varieties from other places, including seafood shipped from Tiantou, Tonggu, Guanghai, Hengshan and other places. The delicious seafood not only attracts regular customers from the Wuyi area, but also diners from Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Shunde and other places. Walking into the seafood street, you can hear the stall owners' shouting and tourists' bargaining for seafood everywhere. The large and small seafood stalls and the dazzling array of seafood opened my eyes. The white turtle, flower fish, fur fish, sea bass, mantis shrimp, meat crab, lamb crab, snail, flower snail, mussels, clams, etc. are all fresh and still alive! There are many processed seafood restaurants near the seafood street, which are similar and have similar prices. The average price of blanched pork is 5r, regardless of the weight. In other words, whether it is 1 jin or 10 jin, it is 5r. It’s really super cheap! Address: About 50 meters northeast of the People's Government of Duhu Town, Taishan City, Guangdong Province Parking: There is a large open space in front of the fire station near the market. It is a parking lot. It will be packed during holidays. Don't park on the road. Be careful not to eat "beef jerky"

The main point is that it is really clean and has no odor. There is also a large full-length mirror ▶️The mattress is an American Simmons mattress, which is really comfortable to lie on.

Location: Taishan Guanghai Pier⛵️ Travel mode: Self-drive 🚙 Must visit: ✅ Pier Seafood Market ✅ Lighthouse Must-eat: ✅ Oysters, shrimp, shellfish If you want to relax and watch the sunset, eat the local beautiful seafood, really highly recommend Guanghai, everyone is afraid of seafood prices, but really did not expect, seafood here, even if not bargain, are cheap to you can not believe, of course, a small cut, eat happier. First time to eat ready-to-eat oysters, cheap to $ 1 dollars a piece, how dare to bargain, and Taishan oysters really sweet and no slag, go kind of milk fragrance, can not forget, local processing is really unexpected, and no other seafood street processing kind, anyway deduct a little of your raw materials, really served dishes, and question, what I bought so much? Shellfish is really recommended to buy a little as well, because there is sand, maybe I'm unlucky. 😂😂 After eating seafood, you can go for a walk by the sea. When the tide is low, you can also go down to the beach to catch crabs. The children are very happy. The sea breeze is relatively strong. Be careful and safe. #Taishan Good Places #Taishan #Taishan Oysters #Taishan Attractions #Taishan Food

During this trip to Jiangmen, we drove 160 kilometers from Hong Kong to taste the authentic Taishan eel rice. "The first Xinghua eel rice in Taishan", the eel rice here is ordered by kilogram, and the proportions can be freely matched, for example, one kilogram of rice with a kilogram and a half of eel. But it turns out that there are two factions in the area. Both schools boil the eel first, rinse it in cold water, remove the bones and shred the meat, then heat up a pan with oil, add ginger, garlic and seasonings to stir-fry the eel shreds, and then cook rice in a clay pot. The difference is that one school of thought puts the sautéed eel shreds with juice on the white rice cooked in a clay pot, covers it and bakes it for a while, which is more like clay pot rice and needs to be mixed well before eating after opening the lid; while the other school of thought takes more time and adds the white rice in the clay pot into the oil pan and stir-frys it with the sautéed eel shreds until the rice grains are well-seasoned. Then, the eel shreds and rice are put back into the original clay pot and baked for a while, which is more like fried rice, but there is also burnt rice at the bottom of the clay pot. There is a local restaurant called "Shuangshuang Yellow Eel Rice", which is known as the first restaurant selling yellow eel rice. It was founded by Huang Jingyue in 1985 and is a version of the former. The latter version is "Taishan's First Xinghua Yellow Eel Rice". The name of the restaurant almost made me think it was the original store. In fact, it was founded by Peng Rihua and his wife in 1987, two years later than Shuang Shuang. Although the two methods are different, they have both been recognized by the Jiangmen Municipal People's Government and were awarded the Taishan City-level intangible cultural heritage plaque "Taishan Yellow Eel Rice Making Technique" in 2018. ✨Special dishes: eel rice, tangerine peel bone, lotus root balls 💰Average consumption: 3 people spent 170 yuan Next time I come to Taishan, I must eat here! ! Really nice! ⭐️Collect and follow me🩷🩷#台山

Chuan Island Town is a tourist town in Guangdong Province and a national 4A scenic spot. It is divided into Shangchuan Island and Xiachuan Island. Open the map, in the vast ocean, the Chuanshan Islands are located in the South China Sea in the south, connected to the western Guangdong waters in the west, and backed by the Taishan mainland in the north. It is also a part of China's second largest archipelago - the Islands outside the Pearl River Estuary. We chose Shangchuan Island for the May Day holiday because we heard that there are not many tourists on Shangchuan Island, it is not very commercialized, and the island is larger, making it more suitable for family travel. We drove to Shanzui Port, parked in the parking lot and then went to buy ferry tickets. The parking fee is 100 yuan per car per day, and the round-trip boat ticket is 170 yuan, which includes the ticket to Feisha Beach. The following two days and one night will focus on five main attractions. Attraction 1: Sanzhou Port It takes half an hour by boat from Shanzui Port to Sanzhou Port on Shangchuan Island. Sanzhou Port is the port closest to the mainland of Shangchuan Island. It is also the place with the largest population and the most complete supporting facilities. There is a blue and white lighthouse next to the pier, and many fishing boats and passenger ships are moored on the shore. In the sunshine, the whistles sound and the harbor scene is busy. Attraction 2: Flying Beach After arriving at Fei Beach, check in to the hotel. The beach is just a one-minute walk away from the hotel's balcony. On the beach, children are playing in the water and making sand sculptures; some people set up tripods on the beach and broadcast live to the camera; some people are playing on the beach wearing life jackets; some people are surfing on the beach on motorboats. The beach is bustling with people like ants, and Baoya Island in the distance is looming, like a fairy island. It’s a pity that the weather was a bit gloomy, so I couldn’t capture the stunning beauty of Kawashima. Attraction 3: Gaoguan Wharf Wedding Photography Base After leaving the hotel, the first stop of the island tour is the Gaoguan Wharf Wedding Photography Base. It is 6 kilometers away from Feisha Beach, surrounded by fine sand, clear water, unique reefs and lush forests. The vast ocean is crystal clear when viewed from close up and azure blue when viewed from afar. Attraction 4: Fish-Watching Stone There is a Shisun Village next to the Wangyu Stone, where villagers have always retained the tradition of dragging large nets to catch fish. In the past, villagers would always send someone here to look out over the sea and observe for fish signs before dragging in the big nets. If they see schools of fish on the sea, they blow the conch shell and other fishermen head out to sea and cast their large nets. Because this stone is a commanding height, villagers have been watching the sea and fish from here, so it is called the Fish-Watching Stone. Attraction 5: Shadi Fishing Port From Wangyu Stone, go south for more than 10 kilometers, pass Qipan Mountain, and soon you will reach Shadi Fishing Port. Shadi Fishing Port, located at the southwestern end of Shangchuan Island, is a key fishing port in Guangdong Province. The harbor is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side, with a very wide view. I heard that at sunset, thousands of sails return to the harbor under the evening glow, which is quite spectacular. This is also a must-see attraction for island tours.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, relatives and friends gathered together at Midea Luhu Villa Apartment in Gaoming District, Foshan City. The room is fully equipped with mahjong tables, KTV, and barbecue facilities. It was a unique experience to have a barbecue and chat facing the lake. I will book a room again next time.

There is a beautiful island called Xiachuan Island in Taishan, Jiangmen. September happens to be the season with abundant seafood harvest and good weather, so we planned a two-day and one-night trip. In general, the experience is excellent. Here are some tips to share and help you avoid pitfalls! Transportation in Area 1: Purchase a package ticket (including round-trip boat, island bus and tickets) on the official account "Chuandao Tourism Network" at least 1 day in advance, drive to "Shanzui Port", take a boat for about 40 minutes to "Xiachuan Island Duwan Wharf", and take a bus for about 30 minutes to "Wangfuzhou Tourist Area" after getting off the boat. The homestay is in the scenic area. There are basically no Didi taxis on the island, and almost every restaurant and hotel has electric cars. For free pick-up and drop-off, we should proactively talk to them about the pick-up and drop-off issues. Accommodation in District 2: Because we were traveling in the off-season, we saw a good review on Meituan and called to ask. The price was definitely much cheaper than buying on the spot or on Meituan. We chose "Taishan Kaiyi Seaview B&B". We rented a sea view room. The environment and hygiene were good. The boss and his wife were very nice. They took the initiative to drive to the scenic area to pick us up and take us to the B&B. They would recommend hotels, car rentals and other services. There was no mandatory consumption. District 3 Food: I would recommend "He Yi Restaurant" and "Hai Lan Xuan Restaurant". They are restaurants opened by locals. A meal for 9 people only costs about 450 yuan. The menu is rich, with freshly caught and cooked mussels, snails, mantis shrimps, various fish, crabs and other seafood. There are also sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried free-range chicken with ginger and scallions, etc. They are fresh and taste good, but these two restaurants are not on Meituan, so many people will just look at other restaurants on Meituan and go there to eat. Area 4 Tour: I have divided it into two routes: a. The main beach is recommended for

The Nachin Peninsula Geo-Marine Park, although not very convenient, is definitely worth a visit. The whole island is made of natural stone, which is very special and beautiful. The geopark has built wooden canyons and blue fences along the coastline, which is very easy to walk. The total length is about 6000 meters. In some places, you can go up to enjoy the endless sea view from a high place. The stones are also different shapes, some like a human head, some like a footboard, very special, great for photography. It is recommended to stay on the island where you can slowly enjoy the views at different times. Address: No. 2, Seaview 1 Street, Naqin Peninsula, Taishan, Guangdong Province, China #OverseasTravel #ChinaTravel #Taishan City #geopark

Located around 45km from Yangjiang city, we arrived to explore this nice Naqing Geological Ocean Park. When you park your car and buy ticket, which is 98rmb, you can enjoy inside for a few hours.

There is also a restaurant so if you are hungry you can eat some local food. If you want to spend night or few days at this location it's possible because they have hotel and many room options. #exploring #china #guangdong #beach #park

I went to check out Nimman Road. Even though I got there quite early, many shops on Nimman Road were already closed. I found this area to be very quiet. If, like me, you just want to take photos, this place is a good option. Provided you don't stop for a drink, you can check out the whole area in about half an hour.

This time when I went down to Taishan, I didn't particularly want to go to some popular photo spots. Instead, I wanted to find a comfortable and convenient hotel to relax with my family for a few days. Taishan New World Hotel is very suitable, its decoration itself has a retro flavor, quite a sense of age, not that kind of fancy new hotel, but the stay has some feelings, very suitable for family gatherings. The location of the hotel is really a big selling point - 398 Phoenix Street, Taicheng Street, which is very close to the city center and the main business district. The first feeling into the room is enough space, not cramped, the overall hygiene is quite good, basic cleaning is in place, I stayed in the room did not find any major problems, however, if the requirements are particularly high, it is recommended to bring your own disinfectant tissue, because a small number of residents mentioned room hygiene occasionally defects. To talk about the hotel facilities, the gym downstairs is perfect for morning exercise habits; the swimming pool is a bit unfortunately, the facilities and sense of space is actually quite nice, but I think the swimming pool hygiene can be better. If you take your children, you have to shower immediately after playing - by the way, it will be more peace of mind to bring a swim cap and goggles. The breakfast is full of sincerity, there are many choices of Chinese and Western food, there are Taishan specialty rice dumplings made on the spot, sold on site, eat the whole day with spirit! Children and elders alike ate happily. Some people may not prefer too crowded breakfast times, and it is recommended to get down a little early to avoid the rush. Service, the front desk check-in was very fast and enthusiastic. If you do not know where to play / eat what, you can ask them, they all try to recommend local play places, food, however some people reflect some employees handling efficiency in general, encounter special situations can take the initiative to ask communication. For the price, the value for money is really good, the facilities are already very complete. Whether it’s for a family outing, or a business trip, it’s quite right here. The vicinity of the hotel is quite busy, especially lively on holidays and nights. You can walk to nearby parks, cultural and creative shops, or go to the cafeteria to find authentic Taishan food, many of which are within walking distance. Closing tips: It is recommended to book online in advance when booking, some platforms offer family room/business package deals. The weather in Taishan is more humid. Bring multiple sets of change of clothes and slippers. Remember to pay attention to dietary hygiene when traveling, especially after the hotel swimming pool to take a shower to avoid allergies. In addition, if you want to experience the local culture, you have to eat Taishan rice dumplings anyway. Remember to go down at breakfast time to grab something fresh! #Taishan Hotel Recommendation #Family Travel Warm Choice #Smart Home Comfort Experience #Swimming Pool Hygiene to Pay Attention to #Authentic Food Must Try #

Duhu Seafood Street in Duhu Town, Taishan City, is famous for its fresh, vibrant seafood. The street primarily consists of a seafood market and several seafood processing restaurants. You can buy seasonal seafood at the market stalls, especially Taishan's amber crabs and fresh prawns. Taishan's amber crabs are particularly famous for their sweet, succulent meat and fragrant roe. The thick-skinned crabs are especially rare. I only bought three this time, but the prawns were crisp and tender. After purchasing the seafood, they were taken to a nearby restaurant for processing and cooking. The salt-baked amber crabs offer the most authentic flavor, while the prawns are delicious whether deep-fried or dipped in pepper broth. Other seafood, such as boiled shrimp and conchs, are fresh and well-cooked. The restaurant also charges a reasonable price for processing, making this seafood spot a great value. 📍Provincial Highway 365, Duhu Town, Taishan City #TaishanFood #TaishanAttractions #TaishanTravel #Greater Bay AreaAttractions
