I have been to the beach many times, but I have never seen a sunrise there. When I am in a bad mood, looking at the sea will really make me feel open-minded and enlightened. There are only three days of holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I chose a beach closest to Beijing and came to Beidaihe. When I checked the scenic spots, I found that Dove Nest Park is suitable for watching the sunrise, which just met my long-cherished wish - watching the sunrise at the seaside. I got up at four o'clock in the morning and arrived at Dove Nest Park at five twenty. Fortunately, the weather was very good. It was still light, the sea and the sky were red, the sunrise rose on the sea, the beautiful scenery came into view, and my mood suddenly became bright. This is my first time to watch the sunrise at sea, but it will not be the last time. Such a beautiful scenery makes people linger.
Dove Nest Park is a must-see attraction for almost every tourist who goes to Beidaihe. One of the reasons for going there is to watch the "Sunrise at Sea" at the Eagle Point Pavilion. Although Beidaihe has the best geographical location for watching the sunrise, you can't see the sunrise just because you want to. The visibility on the sea surface is not high in the early morning, and sometimes it is foggy. The probability of seeing the sunrise after September is relatively high. The second reason for going there is to watch birds in the shallows. There are more than 1,200 species of birds in China, and 416 species have been found in Beidaihe. Tens of thousands of migratory birds migrate every spring (mid-March to late May) and autumn (early September to mid-November). Staying here is the best time for bird watching. Dove Nest Park is not a beach, so you can't go swimming in the sea, but you can step on the sea water barefoot, and there is a place to wash your feet for free.
I went there in December, and tickets are free from November to March of the following year. The shops and cruise ships are closed, so you have to bring food and drinks with you, otherwise you can only eat takeout. There is a vending machine in Dove Nest Park, which only has Coke and mineral water.
It is worth going on a good day, when the autumn water and the sky are the same color. The bus is very convenient during the tourist season, but not at all during the off-season. The sightseeing line 1 and bus 37 do not reach Dove Nest. You can call the bus company in advance. From the city, take bus 25 and transfer to bus 34, and walk about 500 meters.
There is a small pavilion for watching the sunrise, but it is very small. The best position can only accommodate four or five people. There is a plank road under the pavilion. There are few people. Just find a stone to sit and you will have a wide view. The photos taken are different from those in the pavilion on the high ground.
Located in the northeast corner of Beidaihe Beach, it is one of the famous attractions in Beidaihe, so some tourists
The park consists of three parts: a mountain, a lake, and a beach.
The mountain refers to the beautiful rocky hill Eagle Rock by the sea.
The lake refers to the Yuanyang Lake in the center of the park.
The beach is a coastal wetland
The area is not large, 2-3 hours is enough
Dove's Nest is a symbolic tourist attraction in Beidaihe and you must visit it. There is a huge Eagle-horn rock here, which is more than 20 meters high. In the past, groups of pigeons often gathered here in the morning and evening or nested in the cracks of the rock, hence the name Dove's Nest.
The service facilities in the scenic area are relatively good, and there is a place to store bags, which is good.
After the May Day holiday, there are fewer people, the scenery is beautiful, and the view is endless. Except that you can't go swimming, the rest of the scenery is fascinating. The blue sky, the azure sea, and the golden sand are a unique view. The most fun thing is that children can go into the water barefoot and turn over small stones to easily find hermit crabs, small crabs, small fish, small shrimps, and small shells. While increasing their knowledge, they can also appreciate the magic of nature.
The park is not very large, but the scenery is beautiful. There is a small hill in the park. Climbing up it, you can see a nice sea view.
The park is very big, the ticket price is very low, the scenery is beautiful and it is worth a visit
A seaside park with quite rich content, there are many places to visit and take photos.
Beidaihe is a good place to watch the sunrise ~ 4A scenic spot, catch the sea, climb, walk ~
I came here on May Day and thought it would be cold, but it turned out to be surprisingly hot. It wasn't that hot for two or three days after May 2nd. After visiting Dove Nest, I walked along the coastal boardwalk and saw the entire Dove Nest. I continued walking and arrived near the Repulse Bay Bathing Beach. The sea water was very shallow and there weren't many views.
It's just a park, but there are so many people and there's nothing to see overall.
The scenery is similar to that of Xiajiahezi Beach in Dalian. It may be very novel to people from the south or the north who have never seen the sea. If you drive to see the sea ice, it is not necessary.
It can be understood as raising a group of pigeons in the seaside park.
Just caught up with the free entrance to the scenic area. Notes: 1. You must enter the park at the entrance of Qinhuangdao Bird Museum. The original entrance has become the exit. 2. Don't spend money to see the telescope. You can't see anything. 5 yuan wasted. 3. You can bring a small shovel and a small bucket to take your children to the beach to dig some clams, yellow clams, small crabs, etc. 4. Don't buy a small shovel and a small bucket at the entrance of the scenic area. It is very expensive. Buy it in advance and you will save a lot. 5. The parking lot of the scenic area is free during the off-season. Don't be fooled.
If you booked your tickets online, you can enter the park directly with your SMS and ID card without exchanging tickets.
As soon as you enter, there is a large wetland on the left where some birds are nesting. There are some buildings that look like bird nests on the winding path on the right.
Going further inside, you can reach the beach under the windmill through a corridor. The sand in this sea water is very fine, soft and comfortable to step on, and the weather is not very cold, very comfortable.
The little pigeons in the Pigeon Square are all on the eaves and refuse to come down.
Next door is Beidaihe Wetland Park. There are many migratory birds living in Dove Nest Park. Many seagulls fly in the sky by the sea. It is rare to see such a wonder on the beach. A bird museum is being built at the entrance of Dove Nest.
As soon as you enter the park, you can see many artificial bird nests on the trees. There are many pigeons in the Dove Nest Square, and tourists are feeding them.
There is also an oceanarium where you can watch marine life.
The view from the observation deck is quite broad and the scenery is quite beautiful.
Looking into the distance, you can see the Dove Nest sea view in an unobstructed view, and you will feel extremely happy.
The water here is relatively shallow. Although the beach area is small, you can walk a distance away. There is a lifeguard booth in the far sea. There is also a wooden boardwalk by the sea, where you can see the waves and tourists playing in the water. It feels really good.
The sunrise is worth seeing
It's just too early. I got it at around 5 o'clock.
Arrive early and get to the front row.
It is not the peak tourist season, so there are not many visitors in the park. We have arranged to spend about two hours here, so we have plenty of time. We can enjoy the sea breeze on the sea-view promenade, and look at the blue sky, white clouds and seagulls. The sun is shining, and there is no pressure to play in the water barefoot. We don't have to worry about the water being cold. We can pick up small shells and look for small crabs on the beach, which is very pleasant.
I saw the Sun Bath, it was so beautiful. A miracle of the solar system, warmth 150 million kilometers away.
The Dove Nest Park is located on Gechi Road in Beidaihe, along the coast. The ticket price is reasonable. When you walk into the Dove Nest, there are large and small scenes for tourists to take photos. My daughter loves it very much. There are many migratory birds in spring and autumn. This is the best place to watch the sunrise, but you have to get up very early to get there. The entrance fee is 25 yuan, which is not expensive. It also makes the beach in the park less crowded than the free beach, and it is quieter.
When searching for Beidaihe sunrise, all I saw were Dove Nest. So, I went to Dove Nest to watch the sunrise this time.
Tickets are 25 yuan for adults, 13 yuan for students, and 20 yuan for parking. Even if you can bear with these, the entrance to the Dove Nest is 300 meters west of the scenic spot navigation point and parking lot, and it is estimated to be 1,000 meters away from the sunrise viewing point. It really makes people have to complain. I really don't understand what this scenic spot is thinking. Next time, I will definitely go directly to the east side of the scenic spot.
Although the entrance is a bit disappointing, the seaside scenery is still nice and I took some nice photos.
The tickets are quite cheap, the water is shallow, the sand is soft, and the scenery is pretty good.
Adult tickets are 15 yuan, and student tickets are 13 yuan. The beach is relatively clean and there are many people playing. You can also climb up to watch the sunset. The sunset glow and seagulls flying together are very artistic. I went there during the summer vacation. It was especially cool at the beach in the evening.
If there is a must-visit attraction in Beidaihe, it must be Dove Nest Park. There are large tidal flats and plank roads along the coast. Both joy and beauty can satisfy you~
Tickets: Ctrip 5 yuan/person, free for seniors over 70 years old and children under 1.2 meters
Many children brought small buckets and shovels to dig shells and crabs on the beach. There were very few pigeons when we went there, only a few flying up and down in the distance.
Dove Nest is very suitable for watching the sunrise and catching the sea. If you want to go there, go early. It is worth a visit.
Dove Nest is very suitable for watching the sunrise and catching the sea. If you want to go there, go early. It is worth a visit.
It's pretty good, the scenery is nice, there are many seabirds. But the sea water is a bit dirty. It's suitable for playing on the beach, and the waves on the sea are very big.
It's actually a circled park. I suggest you buy tickets online. If you buy tickets on site, you also need to buy 2 yuan insurance. There is no need to spend this money. There are student discount tickets. There are many people watching the sunrise in the morning. Unfortunately, I didn't see it. There are also many parents bringing their children to catch the tide. 27 yuan overall, it's not worth it
The park is very small and you can walk around in half an hour. The beach is suitable for children to play in the sand and catch crabs🦀️small fish🐠. You can't swim. The scenery is very ordinary, but you can see the panoramic view of the entire Beidaihe from the observation pavilion at the highest point of the park, which is still spectacular. The park opens at 4 o'clock in the morning. You can watch the sunrise. There are many people. Whether you can see it depends on the weather. The ticket is 25 yuan, which is a few yuan cheaper if you buy it online. There are discount tickets for the elderly and children.
This scenic spot must be praised. It is very suitable for bringing a family, especially children, because there is a large beach and shallow water area where you can dig crabs and small mantis shrimps. Children love it the most. Remember to bring your equipment in advance. Wear beach shoes, bring a small shovel and a small bucket, and the kind of plastic water gun that can spray water. Remove the head and use a long plastic cylinder to suck the sand directly. You can suck out the shrimps inside, which is much faster than digging, haha
The sea here at Dove Nest is even more frozen, especially where it merges with the ground. I love it. Stepping on the ice feels like being in a movie. This is the first time I’ve seen a different style of sea, and I really like it.
I drove from the northeast and felt cheated. It was so boring just to watch the sunrise in this place.
This park is really nice! Clean and beautiful! Worth a visit! We played until 6:30 and the park closed, so we had to leave.
Dove Nest Park is the most worthwhile place to visit on this trip. It has beautiful beaches, gorgeous scenery, and of course beautiful people.
The good thing is that the sky is not blue and it happens to be cloudy.
It's really good, with good greening and good services. I recommend it to everyone.
The air is fresh and the environment is beautiful. It's hard to describe the feeling. As for the travel suggestions, after entering the park, it is recommended to go to the Eagle Point Pavilion first. Because it is a small slope, it is not very tiring to go up. If you go to other places first, you will need to go up the stairs at the end, which is a bit high. If you walk down from the Eagle Point Pavilion, you won't be very tired. In this way, you can also finish visiting other attractions without feeling tired.
It is so beautiful to take wedding photos in the Dove Garden. Friends who are taking wedding photos can come here in the off-season to enjoy the scenery and take some photos!!!
I came here once in 2016. It was under construction and I was disappointed. I could only take pictures of the interior from outside the fence. The sand was soft and the beach was gentle, and the water was clear. There is a parking lot opposite the main entrance of Dove Nest. It is free, probably because the park is not open.
Dove Nest Park has many pigeons and a beach where you can go in the water and enjoy the scenery. It is a very nice attraction.
It is currently under renovation and is not open to the public. China-TravelNote shows that it was "the most popular place yesterday". Let's change it quickly!
It was undergoing major renovations when I went there in April. There was only a photo taken at the entrance. I guess it might be open to the public in June.
Heavy rain falls in Youyan, white waves surge to the sky, and fishing boats are fishing outside Qinhuangdao.
The park by the bay is called the Dove's Nest because there are so many pigeons.
It's closed. Please don't come here recently. I don't understand why there are still people commenting on it at the end of March.
There is a wetland near the highway. I came here to take pictures of birds in late July. There were many egrets. There were no birds when it was frozen. I watched the sunrise over the sea.
Disgusting park, what about watching the sunrise? If you see the sunrise, you may not be too disappointed. Friends who don't expect to see the sunrise, don't visit this park. It's a waste of time. There are too many people. Few people who have been there have good things to say
It's such a pity that the upgrade and renovation came in vain, so sad
Dove Nest Park is quiet and less crowded in winter. The downside is that some basic service facilities are out of service, such as the toilets near the beach.
Dove Nest Park, also known as Eagle Point Park, is one of the four major scenic spots in Beidaihe Scenic Area of Qinhuangdao City.
Dove Nest Park is located at the easternmost end of Beidaihe and is also the best place to watch the sunrise in Beidaihe.
One of the most famous attractions in Beidaihe. Take bus No. 34 in Qinhuangdao city to the foot of Chitu Mountain. Take bus No. 22 at Beidaihe Railway Station and transfer to bus No. 34. The ticket is 25 yuan. The most famous thing here is to watch the sunrise over the sea at Yingzui Rock. There are many unknown seabirds on the mudflats on the left side of the park. I don’t know what kind of birds they are, but they are not pigeons. There is a wooden plank road on the sea on the right side. Because bathing in the sea is prohibited here, the sea water is not damaged by human beings, it is very clear, and the scenery is very good. However, there are not as many seabirds as I imagined. This attraction is a must-visit place when visiting Beidaihe, and it is highly recommended.
Beidaihe is the best place to watch the sunrise. It is really great. You can watch the sunrise over the sea without any obstruction and catch crabs while waiting for the sunrise. The sunrise is also super spectacular and beautiful.
A must-go place for those who want to get up early to watch the sunrise. On the day of watching the sunrise, I got up at 5am, but when I got to the destination, I found it was cloudy. Many people gave up after waiting for a while. It was very cold, so I persisted at the beach for a while. The clouds disappeared for a short time, and the sun came out slowly. I was so excited that it was hard to describe. I also witnessed the most beautiful moment of the morning in Dove Nest.
We went there in September this year and it was already a bit cold, not suitable for going into the sea.
The Dove Nest Park, which is regarded as the symbol of Beidaihe, is located in the northeast corner of the Beidaihe seaside. On the cliff facing the sea formed by the fracture of the stratum, there is a huge stone shaped like an eagle standing upright, so it is named Eagle Corner Stone. The stone is more than 20 meters high. In the past, groups of pigeons often gathered in the morning and evening or nested in the cracks of the stone, so it was named Dove Nest. Dove Nest Park is the best place to watch the sunrise over the sea. Every summer morning, tens of thousands of tourists gather here to watch the wonder of "the red sun bathing the sea".
We went to Dove's Nest in the morning and fished by the sea. My son was very happy.
Dove Nest Park is generally good. There is a small hill and a beach. You can catch small fish in the shallows or go up the hill to overlook the sea view. Beidaihe is a place for vacation and recuperation, so why not slow down our hurried pace, breathe the slightly salty air by the sea, and find a different kind of tranquility. By the way, fishing is a good choice when you come to Beidaihe, especially for those who have not tried sea fishing. It feels completely different from being in a reservoir. Talk more with local anglers and you will find better fishing spots.
When I got up, I felt that the sky was foggy. The Didi taxi cost 20 yuan, and the price was the same for watching the sunrise. I asked the driver and he said that I probably wouldn't be able to see it. Hey, the weather forecast said it would be sunny today, so why was it foggy this morning? It's a rare opportunity to watch the sunrise with someone, but I still couldn't see it. Moreover, I arrived too early and the amusement facilities were not open, so watching the sunrise meant there was nothing fun.
Dove Nest is a small park with shallow sea. Children and ladies can enjoy the warm sunshine and the feeling of sea water washing their feet. It is a good place for leisure and vacation.
A good place to watch the sunrise. Be sure to go early to occupy a favorable position. The pavilion on the mountain is a good observation point, but the beach below is also good. Dove Nest is not big, but the sea is wider and bluer. We went there on October 5th, and there were not many people. It was especially suitable for a leisurely walk.
I went there at 5am to watch the sunrise. Although the weather was not ideal, there were many crabs and clams at low tide. I was very happy.
I came to Beidaihe in the second half of the National Day holiday. For me, this place name is always heard and seen in some political history. I also hear others talk about their experience of playing. I am also a little curious. After arriving in Beidaihe and staying there, I went directly to the bird watching wetland. I looked around on the road. The sea and sky are one color, vast and far-reaching, very beautiful. This beach wetland is open to the public for free. So I walked more and looked for a long time. It has been a long time since I saw the sea. I was a little excited. It was a little cold at the seaside in the evening in autumn. I rode back to my residence at more than six o'clock. The surrounding areas of Liuzhuang are places to eat and live. The food is stereotyped. They are all similar snacks or restaurants. The competition is very fierce. I also ate a few. The taste is all very general. Some can be said to be very unpalatable. There are Northeast accents everywhere. The next day, I went to various places to recommend the Dove Nest Park. There are a lot of people on holidays. Once you go in, there are people, and then there are various vendors and places to eat, as well as various paid facilities on the beach. When I came here, I slowly felt that Beidaihe is obviously inserting cultural and natural scenic spots in the commercial district. If it weren't for the blue sky and clear sea, I really wouldn't be in the mood to play here. Just at this time, I was pushed a piece of historical knowledge that Shanhaiguan was revoked of the 5A level because of excessive commercial services and poor environmental damage in the scenic area. So I immediately canceled the strategy-style trip, freely went to a few comfortable places I wanted to go, and went home early. Qinhuangdao Beidaihe is not a very ideal and happy travel destination. On the way back, I saw a train art exhibited at Beidaihe Railway Station, which was quite nice.
I went to Beidaihe during the Dragon Boat Festival. It was still a bit cold, so it was not suitable to go to the sea for too long. The scenery of Dove Nest Park was nice. It was suitable to go there early in the morning. If you are lucky, you can catch sea crabs! I like it very much. It is very large, with parks and seaside plank roads. It is said to be the best place to watch the sunrise. Unfortunately, the timing was not right and I was not able to see the sunrise, but the affordable tickets are still worth going!
The place called Dove Nest is a must-visit for many outsiders who come here.
Dove Nest Park is the best place to watch the sunrise in the northern region. The moment the sun jumps out from the sea level in front of you is very shocking. Unfortunately, I have never seen it in many times. The park facilities are really average, there is nothing, I just come here to watch the sunrise
Dove Nest Park is named after the sunrise and history. It is a must-visit place when you come to Beidaihe. Highly recommended!
Facing Jieshi in the east, you can see the vast sea. Not bad, the tickets are not expensive. I just don't understand why it is called Pigeon Nest.
As one of the "Nine Great Sunrise Viewing Spots in China", Dove Nest has attracted many people at 5 a.m. The park is very beautiful, and the beachfront mudflats and reefs are very good, which is very suitable for children to play in the water, play with sand, and catch crabs.
In a true and objective evaluation, I really don't recommend it! There is nothing to see, and nothing to do. And the beach in the park is super dirty. When we went there, it was full of seaweed, dirty and smelly, especially fishy!! Super boring, no fun...
It's a pity that I didn't see the sunrise. It was cloudy and then the sun came out a little and then disappeared.
I like Dove Nest Park very much. I wanted to watch the sunrise in the morning, but the weather was not good. It was foggy and I couldn't watch it, but I was not disappointed. I bought a ticket on Meituan for 20.3 yuan. I went in and took a leisurely tour, feeling the waves and the beach. It was comfortable. I have been here 3 times in 30 years. Every time I was very excited and I hope to come here again... It is said that it is easy to see the sunrise in June or after the beginning of autumn.
Not bad, enough for kids to play for most of the day...especially catching fish at the beach...otherwise, it doesn't seem to have much to offer...
The scenery is pretty good, a place worth visiting near Beidaihe
I went there during the Dragon Boat Festival. It was raining. I queued for 2 hours for lunch. After lunch, I had to catch the train. I didn't see anything in Dove Nest. I just had a meal. It was a pity. I will go there again if I have the chance.
It's not that interesting, really. The most common thing I see is the crabs. And they charge for it.
Dove's Nest is like a shy girl, with gentle sea water and soft sand. There is an observation deck where you can see the panoramic view of Dove's Nest. It is a good choice for a weekend vacation.
🕊I always thought that Dove Nest was a park, but I didn't expect such a big view to appear. It definitely exceeded my expectations and was very cost-effective! When we were in the parking lot, we saw a lot of sand digging tools and the like. We came early and staggered with the locals, and Beidaihe on the ice showed us the beauty of Beidaihe in winter~ As a southerner, I was super excited to see snow and ice😜
After this experience, I found that I can take a lot of special photos in the off-season. This really opened my eyes. It seems that I should not be too narrow-minded in the future! As long as you have a heart that can discover (in fact, as long as you bring my big fat dog with you), you can always discover different beauty!
Special tips:
1. Prices in the park are relatively expensive, so it is recommended that you prepare snacks and drinking water before your visit.
2. If you come to watch the sunrise in winter, the temperature at the seaside will be colder than in the city, so be sure to prepare warm clothes.
The tickets here are the same as those at Lao Longtou, which uses the off-season ticket price, with a uniform ticket price of 5 yuan per person. There is also no distinction between senior citizen tickets and children's tickets!
