High-speed rail direct access, seaside cities more fun than Beihai

Babes!! Who says you can only go to Beihai to see the sea?? 🚨 I've discovered these 4 magical seaside cities with direct high-speed rail access!! Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and super unique 🌊, with food, beaches, and sunsets all included, and the best part is no crowds!! Quickly save this guide and be ready to go this weekend!! 🌅 Weihai — The "K-Drama Set" of the Northern Coast Help!! Weihai is so beautiful it feels like stepping into a Korean drama!! 🚞 Direct high-speed rail makes it super convenient, and you can hug the sea just half an hour after getting off the train!! ✨ Rent a little electric scooter along the coastal road 🛵, with the deep blue sea on one side and red tiles and green trees on the other, every shot looks like an Instagram masterpiece!! 🌊 The seaside road at Torch 8th Street is a must-visit, perfect for capturing that Japanese-style vibe in photos 📸!! At night, head to Hanlefang for amazing food, with army stew, spicy rice cakes, fish cake soup… all for about 30 RMB per person until you're full!! 🍜 The key is there aren’t many people, so no queues!! Stay in a sea view guesthouse, open the window and hear the sound of the waves 🌊 — this is what a vacation should be like!! 🌴 Shanwei — The niche and healing "Eastern Hawaii" The treasure seaside city everyone’s been asking about is here!! 🚄 Just 1 hour by high-speed rail from Guangzhou or Shenzhen!! The sand on Honghai Bay is so fine it feels like walking on flour 🏖️, the water is crystal clear, and you can see little fish swimming right by your feet 🐟!! Be sure to stroll and snack along Ermalu!! 🍢 Pancakes, millet cakes, vegetable tea… all kinds of snacks averaging 5-10 RMB, cheap and delicious!! At dusk, go to Windmill Island to watch the sunset, with rows of windmills slowly turning under the sunset, full of romance!! 🌇 The best part is few tourists, so you can easily claim a whole beach for yourself!! 🚢 Yantai — The underrated "Golden Coast" Babes!! Yantai is seriously underrated!! 🚝 Direct high-speed rail to Yantai South Station, then a 20-minute taxi to the seaside!! The sand at First Bathing Beach is wide and soft, perfect for barefoot wading and shell collecting during the day 🐚, and at night you can explore the night market in Suocheng, with grilled squid, sea intestine rice, Yantai steamed cakes… seafood galore and super cheap!! 🦐 Highly recommend going to Yangma Island!! Cycling around the island offers flawless views everywhere you look, and every photo you take will blow up your social media 📸!! The key is no crowds, so you can take photos and relax freely~ 🌊 Yangjiang — The "hidden niche secret" in Guangdong Attention friends around Guangdong!! 🚄 Direct high-speed rail to Yangjiang, just 2 hours to start your seaside vacation!! The water at Dajiao Bay in Zha Po is deep blue 🌊, and you can even dig up little crabs and shells on the beach!! 🦀 Want to try clam digging? Go to the Beiluo secret spot, and at low tide join locals to dig clams and collect sea snails — super fun!! At night, eat freshly caught seafood on the fishing rafts, with mantis shrimp, oysters, scallops… all for about 50 RMB per person until you can barely walk!! 🍤 Stay in a sea view hotel, lying in bed watching the sunrise and sunset — unbeatable value!! 💥 Babes!! These 4 seaside cities perfectly capture the essence of "fewer people, beautiful scenery"!! 🚀 Direct high-speed rail makes it super convenient, no long journeys needed to embrace the sea~ Whether you want to take photos, feast on amazing food, or just lie back and watch the sea, these places have it all!! Quickly grab your friends, save this guide, and set off!! ✨
