Core Experiences: Dreamy sea fireworks, magnificent ancient castle sunset, stroll along the sea pier, immersive water and fire live show, mangrove tidal exploration, and dazzling fishing village nightscape!

Yanlou Fishing Village (arrive before dusk to enjoy the village in daylight): Arrive at this small fishing village while there is still daylight to experience the original fishing port atmosphere, see the moored fishing boats and local life. 2. Sea Pier (golden hour at sunset): Key experience! Be sure to arrive at the sea pier before sunset (check the exact sunset time in advance!). This is the most romantic moment of the day! 🌅 Walk along the pier into the deep sea, where the sea and sky blend, the sunset melts into gold, shining on the sea surface and on you. Every photo you take looks like a cinematic masterpiece! The atmosphere is at its peak! (You can start looking forward to the fireworks tonight) 3. Shougang Ancient Castle (core area, from dusk to late night): After sunset, the castle lights gradually turn on, instantly transforming it into a fairy-tale-like "Little Potala Palace"! 💒 Wander through the hillside-built, brightly lit stairs, alleys, and viewing platforms to feel the unique architectural charm. The night view is stunning. Main stage area (for performances): Pay attention to the schedule (usually starts in the evening, check the official announcements for the day)! The large-scale live show "Song of Water and Fire" is the highlight! 🔥💧 Combining water and fire effects, dance, and music, the scene is grand and immersive, well worth the ticket price! The core highlight! The sea fireworks spectacular! 🎇 Usually after the show (or on special holiday nights), the most exciting moment arrives! Brilliant fireworks rise and bloom over the sea, illuminating the entire castle and sea surface! Be sure to secure a good viewing spot early at the Sea View Terrace or near Ximenting for the best view! Watching fireworks by the seaside castle is an unforgettable romantic experience for life! Ximenting / Featured Streets: A special street area connecting buildings like Gangsi Building and Lisi Building, with dining, snacks, and creative shops. Great atmosphere, perfect for strolling and eating after the fireworks. Gangsi Building / Lisi Building: Landmark buildings in the castle core, great for photos after lights come on. Sea View Terrace: An excellent platform for sea and fireworks viewing. 📝 Super Practical Tips (to make your romantic trip perfect) 1. Core itinerary: Be sure to include the sunset pier + castle night view + live show + sea fireworks all in one evening! This is the soul of the experience! 2. Tickets and timing: Buy tickets in advance! Follow official platforms for opening hours and show/fireworks schedules (fireworks are not daily, confirm in advance! More likely on holidays and weekends). The park ticket usually includes the show; fireworks may be additional or included in specific sessions. Sunset time: Check the exact sunset time in advance and plan your pier visit accordingly. Show time: Confirm the schedule for "Song of Water and Fire" (especially the night sessions). Fireworks time: Crucial! Must confirm if there will be fireworks that night and the exact time (usually after the main show). 3. Transportation: Shougang Ancient Castle is some distance from the city center; taxi or self-driving is recommended (parking available). Return transportation to the city after the visit may be tight, plan your departure transport in advance. 4. Clothing and gear: Comfortable shoes! Many stairs in the castle, also needed for the pier and tidal exploration. It can be windy and a bit cool by the sea at night, bring a light jacket or shawl. Sun protection! Essential for daytime activities (tidal exploration, fishing village). Fully charge your phone/camera! The night view and fireworks are stunning! Bring or rent tools for tidal exploration (small bucket, shovel, rubber boots). 5. Food: There are dining options in the castle’s Ximenting and other streets, prices are a bit higher but convenient. More authentic and affordable choices are in Qiaogang Style Street or downtown. 6. Accommodation: If you want a deep experience or the fireworks end too late, consider staying near the park or around Silver Beach in unique guesthouses/hotels. The city center has many accommodation options with convenient transport. 💖 Why does this guide fulfill all your "fantasies"? * Ultimate romance: Sunset pier + sea fireworks double hit!
