Off-season trip to Beihai! A one-day travel guide for the ultimate adventurer

Start your morning with a coastal foraging trip to the Mangrove Forest. There are many "foraging bases" near the mangroves—no need to enter the paid scenic area, just access from the side (entering the official scenic spot requires a fee). Since it's all the same stretch of coastline, any "foraging base" will do. The mangroves are teeming with tiny crabs, but they're tricky to catch. After walking endlessly and getting exhausted, we ended up empty-handed—professional guidance is recommended for successful foraging.

At noon, head to Silver Beach. As soon as you arrive, vendors will offer speedboat rides. We tried this thrilling experience for the first time—after bargaining, it cost 40 RMB per person for a 10-minute ride circling the open sea and returning. The ride was incredibly fun and highly recommended.

In the afternoon, visit Liuxia Village. 📷 Perfect for photo lovers! 🌞 Packed with Instagram-worthy spots. After exploring, head to Zixia Bay for sunset watching 🌊—a prime location for photos and shell collecting, though it gets crowded.

Be cautious at Qiaogang Folk Street's seafood stalls—they often overcharge tourists and use dishonest scales. Always double-check the weight when buying seafood!

We dined at Yuexiang Xiaochu: the place was packed, but our group of four ordered 9 dishes with generous portions, delicious flavors, and fair prices (we even had leftovers to pack). Remember to plan wisely when traveling!
