Departing from Luoyang to see the sea🫧 My friends thought I went to the "Maldives"

✔️4-hour self-drive from Luoyang, free parking🆓!
✔️Take the high-speed train to Xinyang East Station → 1-hour taxi ride (about 60 RMB). Since the weather is hot now, it’s recommended to arrive after 4 PM to catch the sunset🌇 directly.
✔️There are beaches🏖️ and water inside, very suitable for taking kids!

📍Tips
▫️Address: Xinyang Xingsuchuan Beach Campground
▫️Tickets: 68 RMB for adults, free for children under 1.3m, free admission if staying at the hotel
▫️Parking: Free parking lot

👗【Outfit Suggestions】
✅White/light pink long dress + straw bag = fairy vibes🧚‍♀️
✅Sunglasses + wide-brim hat: sun protection and great for photos!
Light-colored clothes really make photos pop, definitely go again to be a fairy!

🎒【Gear】
✓ Sunscreen + mosquito repellent! (Mosquitoes by the lake are super enthusiastic😭)
✓ Bubble machine / fake bouquet💐 (photo magic!)
✓ Power bank + touch-up lipstick (don’t ask, learned the hard way)

📸【Photo Spots】Top trending spots online
1️⃣ Beach lounge chairs: every casual shot looks like Sanya
2️⃣ Lakeside sunset: running shots, even hair shines✨
3️⃣ Floating Light Hall: cinematic vibes! Feels like Anaya

▪️Recommended time: 4-6 PM when the light is softest, straight-out-of-camera shots are stunning!
💡There is accommodation inside, each room is a separate mushroom house. If budget allows, stay a night, have barbecue at night, watch the stars, it’s really so relaxing😌

❌Avoid: The campground’s small train. Wanted to check it out but it’s just a simple metal car, every car is full, no good photo spots, can’t get beautiful shots.
The campground rents electric bikes, 🐢 so slow it’s unbelievable and very expensive (if you’re afraid of sun, you can rent, but it’s only a 5-minute walk to the photo spots!)
