2025 Qidong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

No kid can resist playing in the water and beachcombing, right? Qidong is relatively closer compared to Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changzhou 🚗About 2-3 hours drive Perfect for short getaways or weekend trips ✔️If you want to visit Bihai Yinsha (Silver Beach) You can directly book hotels within Evergrande Resort There are two options: Evergrande Venice Hotel and Castle Hotel (Venice is more upscale, right opposite Bihai Yinsha with great location and environment, while Castle Hotel is a few hundred meters away from the beach but more budget-friendly💰) ✔️Both hotels include various package deals with breakfast, making it very convenient for families (access to Bihai Yinsha, Five Nations Hot Springs, Petting Zoo, Gym, Infinity Pool) - you can easily spend 2 full days within the Evergrande resort! There are also many great homestays within Evergrande, but you'll need to purchase attraction tickets separately if staying at homestays. 1⃣️Bihai Yinsha is an artificial beach🏖, still worth visiting. While the water isn't as blue as Sanya's, it's still clean and blue🐶. The sand seems to be transported from Hainan too (other beaches in Qidong have yellowish seawater🌊) 2⃣️Five Nations Hot Springs♨️ is also great, located within Evergrande resort. Features hot springs with Japanese, Thai🇹🇭, Finnish, Turkish, and Italian themes, plus kids' play pools - very photogenic📷! 3⃣️For beachcombing, I found a blogger's recommendation about free beachcombing spots near Evergrande at Binhaidu Resort City area - not crowded at all. You can also try Shili Haibay or Golden Beach. Beachcombing is so much fun - I got more excited than the kids! ✔ ️For dining, there are many restaurants within Evergrande resort. If driving, you can easily go to Jiangfeng Road for more food options. 2 days and 1 night trip was perfectly relaxing The kids were already begging to go back as soon as we got home

Where to go in Nantong on weekends? Visit the beautiful and uncrowded Black Sand Beach This hidden gem of a seawall in Nantong is the perfect weekend destination for families! Drive along the winding seawall with the endless ocean on your left and spinning windmills with vast grasslands on your right (see my previous note for details). Every casual photo looks like a professional shot! Take your kids here on weekends to watch the tides rise and fall, the sun rise and set, walk on the fine, soft black sand beach, and collect little seashells scattered around... 📍Location: Black Sand Beach at the Eastern Seawall in Qidong City ⚠️【Tips】 ✅Check the tide schedule before coming; you can go down the ladder shown in photo 8 during low tide ❌Best to visit on sunny days, avoid rainy days! The black sand sticks to feet and is difficult to clean ✅Bring wet wipes + spare shoes, wear water shoes (there are broken shells on the beach) 🅿️Parking is free! Save this guide and I look forward to seeing your photos~ -

Amazing and beautiful buildings. It will be very interesting for visitors in close future. #themepark

This was an amazing trip…took us about 2 hours to drive there. One can also take a didi which is cheap too from Shanghai. Qidong is very serene,not much happening there apart from the beach 🏖 life. It met my expectations,a mini Sanya close by (I would like to call it). There were many water activities by the beach which makes the surroundings even more pleasing. There are some random shops at the resort too,which you can buy some snacks. The one day we went for brunch at one of the hotels near the beach and they had some western food which was good. We stayed at a Villa hotel nearby, which are very common and easy to get, around the place. It’s a great place to visit,just to go unwind and get a break from the city life ☺️ #summervacation#beachvacation

Perfect place for summer fun! #summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay

In the circle of friends, I saw a picture of the Venetian hotel on the sea, blue sky and blue sea, European castle, which is called a luxury, which makes people look bright. When they look at the place, they are only 1.5 hours away from Shanghai. I cant believe Shanghai. The surrounding sea is not yellow. After inquiring, I realized that Evergrande had spent 600 million to build a huge cofferdam on the East China Sea coast. The seawater in the cofferdam was filtered many times, and finally the original color of the sea was revealed. . Local, self-willed! I like it, and I immediately grow grass, and I am very excited to go to Evergrande with the ingot. The hotel is located on the north bank of Chongming Island in Shanghai, the estuary of the Yangtze River. It is on the southeast coast of the Fuxing Town, Qiyang Town, Qidong City, Jiangsu Province. It faces Shanghai across the river. It is only after the car enters that the hotel is located in a super large comprehensive tourist resort. Inside, next to many residential properties, resorts set hotel, conference, food, entertainment, sports, health and business in one, you think you are going to live in a hotel, only to find out that it came to a small town. Crystal chandelier in the guest room, solid wood furniture, European bed, printed carpet, it is easy to see that the decoration of the hotel room is a bit of blood, the color is also relatively elegant, although the local tyrant, but not at all, the hotel's bathroom is also bright The style, shower, bathtub and toilet are separated, just the carved marble on the wall, telling the truth, this decoration is really a test of the late cleaning.

After driving a bit further, you’ll start to see cows leisurely grazing... Creating a unique landscape where grassland and ocean coexist — truly a "Seaside Grassland." It is said the coastline stretches 15.68 km... On good weather days, cycling or running here feels like a great choice~ Keep driving forward, and you’ll see the sign "China National Geography - Freshest Highway - East Seawall · Black Sand Beach." Drive a bit more to reach the entrance area... There are some vendor stalls, though the selection is limited... Grilled sausages, cold drinks, and the like are available...

In the middle of the beach, there’s a popular swing — taking photos with the sea as the background makes for great shots~ At Black Sand Beach, you can catch the tide according to the tide table~ You’ll also see horseback riding and kite surfing, which is super cool... PS: Black Sand Beach itself is free to enter... Activities likely charge extra, but I didn’t check the exact prices. If interested, you can ask around when you get there~

#7月發文留言活动2025**【】** This time I came to Qidong, Jiangsu, and chose to stay in the "Sea Venice Water Villa". The overall experience was far beyond my expectations! This luxury resort located at the mouth of the Yangtze River perfectly transplants the style of Venice Water City to the East. **The waterfront villas are stunningly unveiled**, each villa is equipped with a private dock and an infinity pool, and the canal view is just a window. The waterfront villa we stayed in is designed in the Italian Tuscan style, with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in full sunlight, and the smart home system is amazing. The most special thing is the private butler service, which is meticulous from check-in to dining arrangements. **The supporting facilities are comparable to those of international resorts**, with yacht docks, water parks, and golf courses. It is especially recommended to take a yacht out to sea in the evening to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunset over the canal, which is extremely romantic. In terms of dining, the Italian restaurant run by a Michelin-starred chef is unforgettable, with freshly caught seafood paired with local specialty old white wine, an excellent combination. This is not only a holiday resort, but also an ideal place to experience a high-end lifestyle. If you want to experience a different river and sea holiday style, Venice on the Sea is definitely worth a try!

During my recent trip to Qidong, I chose to stay at Yue Xiang Song Hotel, nestled beside the tidal wetlands. The experience was nothing short of a hidden paradise! The hotel's standout feature is its "immersive nature experience." Each room is equipped with large floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing guests to wake up to breathtaking sunrise views over the tidal flats and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of chirping insects and croaking frogs. A must-try is the rooftop open-air hot spring pool, where you can soak under the starry sky while enjoying the hotel's specially crafted lavender essential oil—instantly washing away all fatigue. The dining experience is equally impressive! Breakfast is reservation-based, featuring freshly made Qidong-style clam pancakes paired with slow-cooked fish soup, offering a taste of the ocean's freshness. For afternoon tea, the "Tidal Flat Seasonal Vegetable Platter" showcases organic vegetables harvested daily from nearby farms. The staff are as warm and attentive as family. They not only proactively introduce hidden spots in the surrounding wetland park but also provide weather updates and remind guests to bring rain gear. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, this boutique hotel, blending natural healing with local culture, is absolutely worth a special visit!

This time, we traveled to Qidong, Nantong, and chose to stay at the "Evergrande Venice Water Joy Boutique Vacation Villa." The entire experience exceeded our expectations! The villa is located in the picturesque Venice Water City, just about a 70-minute drive from Shanghai, making it highly accessible. Upon entering the villa, the luxurious decor immediately caught our eye—featuring a 70-inch LCD TV, JBL home theater system, and smart air conditioning. Every detail reflects high-end quality. What stood out the most was the fully equipped kitchen, allowing us to cook our own meals, enjoy the joy of gathering, and savor fresh local seafood—a truly unique experience. The villa area boasts a beautiful environment with a greenery coverage rate of up to 50%. It also has a private dock and garden, perfect for relaxing strolls. The staff were friendly and attentive, even proactively offering recommendations for local delicacies, making it easy for us to explore the local culture. If you're looking for a vacation destination that combines luxury and leisure, Nantong Evergrande Venice Villa is undoubtedly the perfect choice!

This trip to Qidong was made unforgettable by our stay at Zhouyi Hot Spring Hotel (Qitangcheng Branch). Inspired by the "Tang Dynasty Palace Music Painting," the hotel features 36 standalone villas scattered around a serene lake, showcasing the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty with their intricate eaves and brackets. At night, when the lanterns light up, it feels like stepping back a thousand years in time. The private courtyard hot springs in each villa were my favorite. The soothing 2,500-meter-deep sea hot spring water was perfect for relaxation, all while enjoying the view of the ecological lake. Our room came equipped with a King Koil mattress and a Dyson hairdryer, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a stunning view of the Zen garden. The attentive butler service even included Hanfu rental and styling, fully immersing us in the Tang Dynasty ambiance. The hotel's "Fragrance Pavilion" and "Yunshui Tea House" exude elegance, and on weekends, you can enjoy traditional cultural performances. While Qitangcheng is just a 5-minute walk away, I preferred the tranquil moments within the hotel. For a luxurious getaway in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region, this is undoubtedly the top choice!

#Sign up for tripbest July Hotel Tester**【 Finally arrived at the Qidong Hengda Sea Venice that I had been longing for! This resort hotel that imitates the Venice water city has a 3.5-kilometer private coastline, and the blue sky and white sand are like "Little Sanya", making people feel like they are in a holiday paradise in a second. The highlight is of course the "Five Countries Hot Springs"! The cherry blossom hot spring pool in the Japanese Pavilion is paired with Japanese kneeling etiquette, the essential oil SPA and tropical plant environment in the Thai Pavilion, the Pamukkale and fish therapy in the Turkish Pavilion, the artistic atmosphere in the Italian Pavilion, and the polar ice house experience in the Finnish Pavilion. Soak in five major themes at once, it's super value! The hotel facilities are even more complete: the infinity pool overlooks the sea view, the children's playground allows children to play until they don't want to leave, and there are luxurious SPA and multi-national cuisine. The most surprising thing is that you can wear a kimono to take pictures in the hot spring area, and the photo output rate is super high! If you want to experience "international vacation at your doorstep", this is definitely the best choice. Remember to make an appointment for a private hot spring in advance to enjoy a more private and relaxing time!
