Ru porcelain experience, beach digging, starry sky movies... three days and two nights are just not enough. Quickly grab this play-and-learn guide👇

🌊 Secret Seaside Spot
• Boasting 4.5 kilometers of coastline, just a 3-minute walk to the silver beach of Binhai Park. Remember to bring sand digging tools! Some rooms offer unobstructed sea views right from the window, so you can enjoy the orange sea sunrise from bed in the morning.
