💡 Tips:

1. Jiajing Island cannot be visited independently; you must join a tour. Safety first⚠️.

2. The UV rays by the sea are very strong. Be sure to apply sunscreen, wear sunglasses and a sun hat—don’t get sunburned into a charcoal ball☀️.

3. If you want to take photos at Phoenix Jiuli Book House, try to go early morning or evening when there are fewer people and the lighting is good for easy empty-frame shots✨.

Shimei Bay is truly a hidden gem for travel. Come and enjoy your seaside vacation here🏖️
