Finally summer vacation is here and I can travel with my roommates!
Just a 3-hour drive from Zhuhai
The lush greenery and boundless seascape are absolutely healing!
• Beiluo Secret Realm: Cliffside pool + coastal walkway, the birthplace of viral photos
• Ten-Mile Silver Beach: Guinness' longest beach, stunning sunrise views
• Mawei Island: Tangerine-hued sea at sunset, super fun for beachcombing
After trying so many restaurants on Hailing Island, these five are the absolute best!
1️⃣ Xi's Coconut
📍Tourism Avenue Middle/Zhapo Town Shuangdian
🌟 Must-try: Mango stir-fried ice, fresh coconut juice
Rich coconut flavor without being overly sweet, the ice is velvety smooth!
So delicious! Perfect summer treat to beat the heat!
2️⃣ Baoji Seafood Big Bowl Noodles · Pig Intestine Rolls
📍Opposite Zhapo Primary School
🌟 Must-try: Pig intestine rolls + seafood big bowl noodles
Yangjiang intangible cultural heritage snack! Rice noodle wraps with bean sprouts and dried shrimp, drizzled with signature sauce, only 5 yuan each - insane value!
3️⃣ Sister Fei's Snack Shop
📍185 Tourism Avenue Middle
🌟 Must-try: Mud worm seafood porridge, Spanish mackerel rice
20-year-old establishment! Crispy mud worms without fishy taste, porridge broth so fresh it'll make your eyebrows fall off, only 30 yuan per person to get full!
4️⃣ Caiji Seafood Canteen
📍85 Tourism Avenue Middle
🌟 Must-try: Lobster steamed noodles, pressure-cooked oysters
Fresh seafood with clear pricing, oysters so plump they burst with juice! Lobster noodles enough for 3 people, about 80+ yuan per person
5️⃣ Kaoji Clay-baked Chicken Farmhouse
📍Opposite Beiluo Secret Realm North Gate
🌟 Must-try: Clay-baked chicken, pepper salt mantis shrimp
Chicken wrapped in banana leaves and baked until tender and juicy! Mantis shrimp with perfect pepper salt flavor, best eaten hot
💡Tips to avoid pitfalls
• Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! (Can't stress this enough)
• Bring your own scale when buying from seafood markets to prevent switching
• Haggle hard for electric bike rentals, don't trust street touts
