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

#2024Travel Review Hailing Island is located in the northern waters of the South China Sea at the southwest end of Yangjiang City, covering an area of ​​105 square kilometers. It is the fourth largest island in Guangdong Province and is known as Guangdong Hawaii. There are national AAAA-level scenic spots on the island - Dajiao Bay, Mawei Island Scenic Area, Shili Silver Beach Scenic Area and Golden Beach Scenic Area. The island is covered with tree-lined trees, the sea bottom is flat, and the water is calm. It is famous for its "Hailing Sunset", which is the best place to watch the sunset. When the sky is filled with colorful clouds at night, many tourists stop here to wait. Hailing Island also has rich cultural and historical landscapes, such as Taifu Temple, Linggu Temple, ancient fort, Zhenhai Pavilion, Guanyin Pavilion and more than 10 places. Everywhere has a tragic and touching story. The newly developed Maritime Silk Road Museum mainly displays cultural relics salvaged from Song Dynasty merchant ships.

There's nothing more refreshing in summer than jumping into the water to play. Now, during the summer vacation, everywhere is crowded with people. To avoid the crowds, I found such a place in Guangdong, full of Southeast Asian style 'Venice Water City'. A super long swimming lane surrounds the entire villa resort. Open the garden door, and you can dive into the water. Few people and lots of fun, staying for two nights is extremely enjoyable. - 🔸Garden directly into the Hawaiian swimming lane This time I stayed in a waterside suite, the biggest feature is the back garden on the first floor, open the door and there's the swimming lane, super cool! The key point is that they also provide free glass boats, yellow ducks, banana boats, and other popular floating swimming gear, perfect for taking photos, really fun and photogenic! The garden comes with a private hot spring pool, and the hotel also offers floating afternoon tea, so you can play in the water while enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea. The living room also has an automatic mahjong table, making vacation gatherings super fun. . 🔸Bird's Nest Hot Spring The swimming lane can also lead directly to the hot spring area, with various health-preserving hot springs like red wine, angelica, and rose, as well as massage pools. Swim during the day and soak in the hot springs at night while watching the starry sky, it's so relaxing. . 🔸Fairy-tale amusement camp There is also a super large riverside camping area here, with a huge lawn for running freely, camping, and picnicking, as well as slides and moon swings. Kids can ride the small train, adults can play go-karts, and animal lovers can get close to alpacas, ponies, and other cute pets in the pet park. . 🔸Sunset lighthouse boardwalk Be sure to come to the pier at sunset, stroll along the riverside boardwalk, there's a lighthouse, colorful stairs, perfect for photos. The sunset reflects on the river and the mountains on the opposite shore, giving a special Bali vibe! - 📝Other travel tips: ▪️Don't worry about food, the hotel provides free buffet breakfast with Yangjiang specialties like pig intestine rolls and Sanjia noodles. For lunch and dinner, you can eat at their restaurant, which serves Yangjiang specialty farmhouse dishes, cheap and delicious. Spend over 500 and you can sing karaoke for free, really awesome. ▪️It's about an hour's drive from Hailing Island, where you can enjoy the sunshine and beach. - 🌴Guangdong Yangjiang DS Hot Spring Resort Hotel 📍Futong Shiliquancheng, Yangchun Hot Spring Avenue, Yangjiang City

It’s summer in China! Woke up at 5.00am packed with photography equipment fully charged and headed to the beach just behind hotel Crowne Plaza, 5mins walking distance. Feeling the strong blowing wind during the blue hour while strolling across the beach before sunrise is really relaxing. Just right about 5:39am, get the camera ready when the sky started to turn yellow indicating the sun is rising.

Attractions - Upon arriving on the island you’ll be greeted by the lush coastline. The most famous one being the 10km beach. the beaches are clean and beautiful and not very crowded which makes for a peaceful trip. at night people go to the beach to set off fireworks. Food & Restaurants - you must try the seafood when on hailing island. often the fish is caught from the sea and then served on your plate. it doesn’t get any more fresher than that! #tigeryear2022 #beachlife #staycation #mountainview

My wife and I decided to holiday here because it would be close to the beach. Despite the anticipated 1 hour trip from the railway station to the hotel, we found the hotel did its best to take as much money as possible from its customers. It's on-site convenience store was vastly overpriced and significantly understocked compared to other locations, while access to its pools were charged to those staying on the property. This put a sour taste in our mouth, so we opted to minimise our spend within the hotel. Fortunately, there were plenty of options for food in the local area, and delivery options were also plentiful.

China is the “hometown of silk”, and silk was the most representative of the goods exported by China on the Silk Road. At the end of the 19th century, German geographer and traveler Ferdinand von Richthofen called the Silk Road routes die Seidenstrasse (‘the Silk Road’) or Seidenstrassen (‘silk roads’) in his book ‘China’. The term was quickly accepted by academics and the public, and “Silk Road” was formally accepted as a proper noun. #urbanexplorer #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Dajiao Bay is a well-known scenic spot in Hailing Island. It has beautiful scenery, gentle winds and calm waves, evenly distributed and soft beaches, clear and pure sea water, and fresh air. It is a great place for tourism and vacation. The public bathing area in the middle of the scenic area allows you to experience a variety of water activities, including surfing, windsurfing, motorboats, paragliders, beach cars, etc., which are very exciting.

HaiLing Island in China has added some new spots that opened in the last few years to check out if you haven't been there in a while : the sank cargo boat from ancient Silk Road; and the HaiLing National Wetland Park. Both are interesting. #happynewyear #happynewyear

The hottest red spot in Guangdong - hit the highest infinity pool in the country. The photo taken on the top is super high, and the Skyline Pool is located on the 30th floor of the main building of the hotel, 100 meters high. Because he is very close to the beach, plus his absolute height, the landscape here is completely different. The sea seen here is almost vertical, and the sea, the sky and the pool are mixed together, and the photos are super beautiful! Swimming here is not just the enjoyment of the body, under the hundred meters is the vast sea, 180 degrees invincible seascape, overlooking the bar, white beaches, rolling waves, beautiful views, Bringing not only the enjoyment of the body, but also the psychological shock... As the most popular place in Hailing Island, the tourists who come to take pictures and record videos every day, want to shoot For a good photo, you can find inspiration from the following suggestions: 1, you can pick a long shirt on the beach chair, you can use the swimsuit to shoot at the pool, that is, fashion, and can play sunscreen The role. 2, if you think your little thighs are slightly thicker, you can tie the shirt to your waist and cover the fat of your legs. 3, the chain hanging on the body, adding some decorations is very sexy and full of temptation, but also reveals a luxurious atmosphere. 4, if your swimsuit is bright, you can choose a white crocheted shirt to show the beautiful swimsuit.

👭 Girls! This time I've truly struck gold! No need to go to Sanya—Guangdong hides this heavenly island gem! It's Yangjiang's Hailing Island, one of Guangdong's four major islands, crowned as the "Oriental Hawaii." Here, you wake up naturally every day, feast on the freshest seafood, and soak in the most healing ocean views. Save this nanny-level guide and get ready to go👇 🏨 Living Between the Clouds and Waves Choosing the Element Hotel was a beautiful accident. I just wanted a seaside stay but unexpectedly unlocked a new "laid-back ocean-viewing" experience. The 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows are like a giant movie screen, showcasing ever-changing ocean scenes daily. The designer clearly understands "lazy philosophy": the mini-kitchen even comes with seasonings. Buy seafood outside and DIY a feast anytime! 🌅 The Three-Minute Sunrise Ritual The biggest perk of staying by the sea? Turning sunrise viewing into an impromptu performance. At dawn, I walked through the dewy coastal path. Three minutes later, my toes touched the cool seawater. The sunrise here is gentle—first a shrimp-pink hue, then peach-colored clouds, and finally, the sun rising like a soft-boiled egg yolk. In the morning light, even your hair glows. 🏖 The Carnival of Ten-Mile Silver Beach A five-minute drive takes you to the legendary Ten-Mile Silver Beach. The water is so clear it looks filtered. The beach is loveliest at 10 AM—sunlight isn’t too harsh, lounge chairs are freshly set, and water sports require no queues. Don’t miss jet skiing for some ocean-speed thrills. Or try parasailing—when the speedboat accelerates, the wind lifts you up, offering a drone-like view of the bay. Exhausted? Collapse on the sand with lemon tea, watching jet skis carve white waves. 🦀 The Lively Charm of the Seafood Market Zhabo Market is liveliest at 4 PM! Fresh fish, lively mantis shrimp, feisty flower crabs—each tempts your taste buds. Master the "three checks" for seafood: intact crab legs (broken ones spoil faster), black-free shrimp antennae (black means stale), and bulging fish eyes (sunken means old). Back at the hotel, try the local "fermented black bean steam"—savory with a hint of seafood sweetness. ⛱️ I’m in love with this trip! No crowds, no rush! Ocean-view rooms, sunrise by the sea, and seafood freedom—this is what a vacation should be!!
