Taking a walk in Beihai in autumn feels like stepping into a Southeast Asian island (no need to go abroad at all!)

Tired of seeing so many travel posts pretending to be abroad?
This time, I’m coming clean—I’m at Beihai Silver Beach! The sea is so blue it dazzles, and even the sea breeze has softened!

No more hiding from the midday sun to take tourist photos. Now, if you go to the beach around 3 or 4 PM, the fine sand won’t burn your feet, and when you look up, fluffy cotton candy-like clouds float over the sea. Every photo you take is a “no-filter masterpiece” 📸 You can even apply two layers less sunscreen!

Who understands the joy of the off-season! At Qiaogang seafood stalls, there’s finally no need to queue, and for just over 100 yuan, you can feast on a table full of fresh shrimp and crabs; riding a small electric scooter through the old streets, the autumn breeze carries the sweet scent of sugar water shops, and fishing boats lazily unload their freshly caught haul. This lively atmosphere is even more healing than that of small foreign islands!

Stop wondering where to go in autumn—Beihai’s “off-season perks” are so good you’ll want to stomp your feet! Set off this weekend and turn your social media “vacation abroad” photos into “poetry and distant places right at your doorstep”~
