Beihai Silver Beach visited, already got ripped off

Things to avoid

- Sun protection & heat prevention: Strong UV rays at the beach ☀️, apply high-SPF sunscreen, wear a sun hat, etc. The sand gets scorching hot in the afternoon, so wear flip-flops or beach shoes 👟.

- Seafood consumption: Always ask for prices and weighing methods when eating seafood. Opt for reputable restaurants like Qiaogang Folk Culture Street to avoid overpriced or short-weighted shops near tourist areas 🦐.

- Transportation choices: Avoid unlicensed taxis at train stations or docks 🚗. Choose official taxis or ride-hailing services. Skip unnecessary sightseeing cars in the scenic area—walk along the beach or rent shared e-bikes instead 🛵.

- Activity expenses: For water sports like jet skiing, use official ticket booths in the scenic area and beware of low-price traps ⚠️. Don’t trust roadside "free guides" to avoid being upsold expensive activities.

- Belongings safety: The beach gets crowded at night 👨👩👧👦. Don’t leave phones or valuables unattended on the sand to prevent loss 📱.
