It's water play season again
We're revisiting the DoubleTree by Hilton Shanwei for the second time.
Here's our complete 2-day-1-night family travel guide 📕 Save it now!
📍Hotel: DoubleTree by Hilton Shanwei Jinding Bay
🚗Transport: Recommended self-drive within the province
🅿️Parking: Convenient hotel parking available
📖Itinerary:
Depart from Shantou 🚗 About 2.5 hours to Shanwei.
Checked in directly around 2:30pm.
While it's still hot, first stop: the super photogenic spiral staircase indoors 📷
Gotta praise the kid's photography skills - improving again and again!
After photos, played at the hotel kids' club before changing into swimsuits
Then headed to the infinity pool for swimming and water fun 🏊🏻
Remember both adults and kids need swim caps to enter!
When the sun gets milder, perfect time for beach play and tidepooling 🌊
No need to leave the hotel - just follow the path behind the rooms straight to the beach 🏖️ Super convenient!
Nearby Whale Bay Town has less crowded beaches with fine white sand. Perfect for kids with attractions like mini trains, carousels, and ferris wheel - also great for photos 🎡 Frequent evening fireworks, and kids can play with sparklers by the shore too.
🍽️Dining:
Many seafood restaurants and BBQ spots near Jinding Bay - can't vouch for quality/pricing so do your research online to avoid disappointments ❌ We drove to downtown for dinner at a Taiwanese restaurant - pepper chicken, garlic baked prawns (so fresh!) and fragrant braised pork rice - everything was delicious 😋 No regrets.
After dinner, check out Erma Road for local snacks and souvenir shopping 🛍️
