4️⃣ Perfect lawn camping spot: A large green lawn right next to the beach, ideal for team building, picnics, or dates—escape the fatigue of work life in minutes!

📸 Must-visit photo spots
✅ Seaside reef clusters: At low tide, large black reefs are exposed, perfect for moody, cinematic shots that instantly boost your photo’s vibe!
✅ Huandao Road boardwalk: Stroll along the boardwalk with an endless sea and sky backdrop, the sea breeze makes photos super soothing~
✅ Seaside hidden coffee shop: Nestle into a window seat, sip coffee while watching the sea, lazy and chill, the atmosphere is just right!

🚗 Transportation guide
☑️ Taxi/self-drive: Set your destination to “Ainiyi Shuiwan Hotel.” For drivers, don’t worry, there’s a large parking lot at the beach entrance, parking is convenient, and it’s just a 1-minute walk to the beach!
☑️ Public transport: Take the bus to “Xitouxia” stop, enter the small path next to Jinming Temple, walk about 100 meters to find the parking lot, then it’s a very short walk to the beach!

💡 Helpful tips
▪️ It’s best to visit after 4 PM to avoid the harsh sun; the soft light makes photos look even better!
▪️ Wear light or bright colors (white, yellow, pink) to match the blue sea and sand, photos will be super photogenic!
▪️ Remember to bring slippers for easy wading; nearby foot washing is inconvenient, hand washing requires a fee, so bring wet wipes just in case~
▪️ For those wanting to shoot the reef clusters, check the tide schedule in advance—only at low tide can you capture the full reefs!
