Accidentally stumbled into "Hawaii" | Huizhou Xiaojing Bay

🌊A one-day adventure at Huizhou Xiaojing Bay! Complete guide to beach check-ins + all-you-can-eat seafood🍤

✨Tickets: Enjoy the glassy sea for free!
Xiaojing Bay Beach is open all year round for free, with sand as fine as flour and crystal-clear water. For thrill-seekers, try jet skiing (about 150 RMB/30 minutes). If you’re worried about the sun, rent a sun umbrella (about 50 RMB/3 hours) and relax—it’s super refreshing!
⚠️Tip: Don’t buy overpriced drinks on the beach! Bringing your own bottled water is more cost-effective. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours; UV rays by the sea are three times stronger than in the city!

🏨Hotels: Watch the sunrise from your sea view room!
For a day trip, we recommend Guan Haixuan Guesthouse (about 400 RMB/night), with 270° floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea and just 50 meters from the beach! For luxury travelers, check out Le Méridien Hotel (about 1341 RMB/night) with an infinity pool and private beach. Their afternoon tea set (about 198 RMB) is stunning!
⚠️Tip: Book guesthouses 3 days in advance and choose rooms tagged “near the beach” to avoid being tricked into cheap rooms 3 kilometers away!

🚗Transportation: Choose from 5 options!
✅Self-drive: Navigate to “China Resources Xiaojing Bay,” plenty of free roadside parking, fuel and tolls about 300 RMB (from Shenzhen)
✅High-speed train: Get off at Huiyang Station, then taxi about 30 minutes (about 50 RMB)
✅Bus: Direct from Shenzhen Futian Bus Station, ticket about 50 RMB, 2-hour ride
⚠️Tip: The greenway has no streetlights at night, return before 5 PM! If driving, don’t park in the scenic area lot; free parking is available at “Shanhai Zizai Garden”!

📸Photo spots: 5 must-visit locations!
1️⃣Wutoushan Greenway S Curve: Capture shots while cycling, mountain and sea in one frame is super healing (bike rental about 30 RMB/hour)
2️⃣Reef Park: Stand on the rocks in a white dress for a “sea warrior” style photo shoot
3️⃣Le Méridien Hotel Lawn: Shoot silhouettes against backlight at 4 PM, guaranteed to blow up your social feed
4️⃣Beach Swing: Capture sunset and swing vibes in the evening, atmosphere maxed out
5️⃣Starry Tent: Book in advance (about 458 RMB/night), lie down and shoot the Milky Way and waves together!

🍽️Food: Seafood freedom for about 60 RMB per person!
Recommended to buy freshly caught mantis shrimp at Xiayong Seafood Market (about 35 RMB per jin), processing fee about 15 RMB per jin, steamed is the freshest and sweetest. Must-try at the popular “Lemei Hakka Seafood” is the cheese abalone tower! At night, enjoy grilled oysters on the commercial street (about 10 RMB for 3), paired with ice-cold beer—amazing!
⚠️Tip: Ask vendors to drain water when weighing at the market. Avoid “wild grouper” sold from tricycles; 90% are farmed!

💰Budget reference (for 2 people):
Transportation 200 RMB + Food 240 RMB + Water activities 300 RMB ≈ 740 RMB (adjust as you like)

📌Summary:
✔️Free beach + super photogenic spots
✔️Seafood so cheap you’ll want to take it home
✔️Convenient transportation, 1.5 hours direct from Shenzhen/Guangzhou
⚠️Now is the perfect time to avoid summer peak, fewer people and beautiful scenery—go for it!
