Must-see in Beidaihe! Qinhuangdao 3-day, 2-night nanny-level guide!

The right way to experience Qinhuangdao, a summer resort! This tried-and-true guide will teach you how to create vacation photos with the same texture as those of ins bloggers 👇

📸 Top 5 attractions to check in at
1️⃣ Aranya Chapel - The sunrise magic of the Lonely Library 🌅
✨ Camp out at 4:30 am to watch the orange sea sunrise. The pure white chapel + pink and purple sky come with their own filters! For outfits, we recommend a solid color long dress + straw woven bag to unlock the same atmosphere as in "Our Little Sister"

2️⃣ Pigeon Nest Park - The romantic dance of seagulls and tides 🕊️
🌟 A world-class bird watching destination! Remember to bring bread crumbs to feed the flocks of pigeons circling in the sky. The 360° sea view cafe at the end of the trestle bridge is perfect for daydreaming (strongly recommend the coconut latte!)

3️⃣ Laolongtou Great Wall - The epic shock of the giant dragon entering the sea 🐉
🔥 The only sea Great Wall! It is recommended to rent Hanfu to take photos of knights. Drone aerial photography shows more grandeur (the scenic spot has professional follow-up photographers who can be booked)

4️⃣ Xigang Garden - The literary paradise transformed from industrial ruins 🚢
💫 Old railway tracks × blue and white lighthouse × sea swing, a holy place for Japanese-style portraits! Be sure to experience the sunset cruise in the evening. It's breathtaking to blow the sea breeze on the deck and watch the sunset

5️⃣ Biluo Tower Bar Park - The right way to experience island nightlife 🎆
🌌 Enter after 18:00 to watch the sea light and shadow show! Internet-famous hot air balloon + Santorini-style blue-domed church, beach disco + bonfire party every night is super high

🦀 Qinhuangdao on the tip of the tongue
✅ Seafood lovers must try: Daihexiang Seafood Restaurant (steamed swimming crab/salt and pepper mantis shrimp)
✅ Locals' private collection: Shanhaiguan Meat Hot Pot (copper pot seafood hot pot + sauerkraut is a perfect match)
✅ Night market king: Gongfuzhuang Snack Street (roasted cold noodles with stinky tofu/bursting durian pie)

⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls
❗ Beidaihe Station is closer to the scenic spot than Qinhuangdao Station
❗ Book a room at least 2 weeks in advance during the peak season in July and August
❗ The ultraviolet rays on the beach are poisonous! Sunscreen + sun hat + sunglasses three-piece set
❗ Renting an electric car is more cost-effective than taking a taxi (50 yuan per day to travel along the coastline)
