Beachcombing with Kids | 3-Day Salt City Trip Guide for a Short Holiday

| 3-Day Salt City Trip Guide for a Short Holiday. Salt City Family Trip 3 Days 2 Nights Guide | Must-Read Before Departure
📒 I’m departing from Nanjing. This itinerary is quite fast-paced; if you don’t want to be too tired, you can skip some parts.
📆 Duration: 3 days 2 nights
🚗 Transportation:
🚘 Self-driving is personally recommended. Salt City’s attractions are quite spread out, and driving enhances the experience. Renting a car or chartering is also an option.

🗺【Itinerary Reference】
Day 1 Arrive at noon at the "Yellow Sea Great Wall." Prepare waterproof shoe covers in advance. Kids can bring a set of sea clothes and a small shovel to treasure hunt on the mudflats! Clams, small crabs, mantis shrimp, small fish, and more appear randomly. After about 1-2 hours, drive to Biandang Port, Zhendong Gate Sea Navigation Lighthouse. The coastal scenery along the way is really beautiful! Finally, arrive at Moon Bay by evening. Recommended accommodation: "Moon Bay Metropark International Hotel," convenient for lodging with many snacks nearby.
Day 2 Morning visit to the "Holland Flower Sea." At 3 PM, drive to the "Red-crowned Crane Wetland Park." Recommended stay at the "Red-crowned Crane Fangcaodi Resort Hotel" to enjoy various family-friendly activities 🎡. Enjoy a seafood buffet 🦀 at the hotel in the evening, join the bonfire party, and take a bath.
Day 3 Morning head to "Dafeng Wild Deer Park." If lucky, you can see herds of wild deer foraging up close! If you don’t encounter wild deer or don’t want to wait, you can go directly to the "China Milu Park." In the afternoon, take the kids to "Yellow Sea Forest Park" to experience the forest oxygen bar. Near sunset, go to "Sunrise Bay" to watch the sunset 🌅 and have dinner at a nearby restaurant.

✅【Recommended Attractions】
🦌 China Milu Park: 🎫 45 RMB/person. It’s recommended to take the sightseeing bus or boat. There are many milu deer to feed, and you can learn about the story of the Deer King’s birth.
🏞 Dafeng Wild Deer Park: Free (passing area) / 20 RMB (partial area). On a sunny autumn evening, it’s as beautiful as a painting 🖼.
🌅 Sunrise Bay: Free. The mudflat is wide and the scenery is pleasant, also great for beachcombing.
🌳 Yellow Sea Forest Park: 🎫 45 RMB/person. The park is vast and beautiful. Be sure to buy a sightseeing bus ticket; the 🚂 small train is worth a ride.
🕊 Red-crowned Crane Wetland Ecological Park: 🎫 37 RMB/person. Don’t miss the red-crowned crane release; the scene is quite impressive. The theme pavilion is relatively ordinary.

☑️【Food Recommendations】
Snacks: Zhulin Grand Hotel and New Ximen Road 😜
Personally prefer New Ximen Road; it’s more local and has a livelier atmosphere! 👏
Dishes: Shanyu Qiang Northern Jiangsu Cuisine 🥢
