My friends all thought I went to Sanya again when they saw my posts.

【The "Unconventional" Guide to Cangzhou's Seaside – Where the Grand Canal Meets Bohai Bay】

✅🌊 Pretend You're on an Island Edition
1️⃣ Nandagang Wetland
- Spend 30 yuan to ride a wooden boat through reed marshes, where you might bump into wild ducks at any moment (practice your "duck apology" in advance)
- Rent binoculars for 10 yuan/hour to spot birds—and the nose hairs of the guy on the next boat

✅2️⃣ Huanghua Port Beach
- Bohai Bay's waves are as gentle as an old lady doing tai chi, but the sand scores five stars for foot discomfort (wear Crocs, aka "Cangzhou Foot Massagers")
- Shell collecting will net you plenty of "mussel shells," which your mom might mistake for "seafood remains" and toss out

✅🍤 Seafood "Gotcha" Guide
▪️ Huanghua Swimming Crab
When the vendor says "full of roe," it means one pea-sized lump inside (Cangzhou-style crab roe soup dumpling?)
▪️ ✅Fermented Shrimp Paste
Smells like a biochemical weapon; pair it with cornbread for an instant trip back to the 1960s (wear a mask afterward)
▪️ **Seafood Stalls**:
Always ask for prices! Otherwise, you'll think shrimp are priced by the "whisker" at checkout

✅🚣♂️ Surreal Experience Activities
- Fishing Village Boat Tour
Pay 200 yuan to be a "fisherman for a day"—which mostly means watching an old man cast nets (reward: three finger-sized fish)
- ✅Salt Field Mini Train
30 yuan for a loop around the salt fields, where blindingly white salt piles force you to squint (forgot sunglasses? Your eyelids are natural filters)

✅📸 Cangzhou Photo Ops
- Pose on the Shell Embankment, but avoid stepping on "thousand-year-old fossilized shells"—they’re actually clamshells from last week’s tourists
- Run dramatically under wind turbines for a "K-drama shot," though it’ll look more like being chased by a giant fan

💡 Survival Tips
✅ Must-Bring:
- Sunscreen (Bohai UV rays + salt field glare = human teppanyaki)
- Flip-flops (the beach shells will teach you humility)
❌ Avoid:
- "Fresh Catch" boat tours (you’ll get seasick before the fish do)
- Beach ATVs (50 yuan for 3 minutes—slower than an e-bike)

(Total cost: 300 yuan for "budget seaside vibes" and a free souvenir of fishy smell.)
