What season of the year and what time of day is the best time to go to the seaside?

In the north, six, seven, eight or three months, until September. In the south, the time is much longer, from April to 1 1 month.

First, Tangshan Laoting Island Xindai River Waterfront

Laoting County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, is located in the southeast coastal area of Tangshan. It has been nearly 900 years since its establishment. Known as the "granary of Jidong", "Tianfu of Yandong" and "Land of Abundance", it is also the hometown of Li Dazhao. In recent years, tourist areas such as seashore and island have been developed in Laoting coastal area, with Xindai River (Repulse Bay Bath) as the center and radiating to the surrounding area. Laoting tourism has become a new choice for Beijing tourists after Beidaihe, Gold Coast and other famous seaside tourist areas in just two years.

Laoting

Main seaside resorts in Laoting area:

1, Xindaihe (Repulse Bay Bath) Resort

Repulse Bay Bath, also known as Xindaihe Resort, is the main tourism brand of Laoting tourism, with clear water and fine sand and unique flavor. Located on Dawang Island, 35km southwest of Laoting County and 10km southwest of Jingtang Port. Here, sunshine, sea water and beaches are in harmony, and in recent years, it has become a new summer resort for some go on road trip lovers and family tourists in Beijing and Tianjin. Xindaihe Resort has more than ten hotels and farmhouses of different grades, large and small, and ordinary tourists can basically find their own accommodation and dining standards.

Tips: When entering the Xindaihe (Repulse Bay Bath) Resort, everyone has to pay the entrance fee of 10 yuan. Stay in the scenic spot and leave the scenic spot for free before checking out.

2. Xiangyun Bay is a newly opened Xiangyun Bay Resort, 2 kilometers away from Xindaihe Resort (tickets are free at present). Xiangyun Bay currently has only simple beach tourism service facilities, and there is a hot spring club near the beach. While enjoying the sunshine, beach and breeze, visitors can try the seaside hot springs for a change.

Xiangyun Bay Resort has not been open for a long time, so its reputation is not very great. The number of tourists here is obviously much less than that of the surrounding beaches.

Water Quality Comments: Perhaps it is because there are few tourists on weekdays, and the sea water here is very clean. When the tide is high or low or the wind is strong, you can clearly see waves of white waves rushing to the beach layer by layer. Tourists prefer to get close to the sea water because they can't see the common foamy white sticky substance in the sea water.

Sandy feeling: Walking barefoot on the beach for two times. When you stop, the soles of your feet will naturally heat up, as comfortable as just finishing pedicure. The sand on the beach is soft, greasy and clean. Don't say playing with sand is a child's favorite. Even adults are willing to indulge themselves temporarily on the beach here. Beach volleyball, football, sand bath, burying people ... You can play with impunity as long as you can think of entertainment on the beach.

Three Islands Tourism: Bodhi Island, Yue Tuo Island and Golden Sand Island are also called "Laoting Three Islands". If you have enough time to go to the seaside, you can also choose to take a boat to the nearest island, and the tourism projects and landscapes of these three islands are even more "three-dimensional": from beaches, reeds, wetlands, birds, animals, temples, catching shells, fishing ... The trip to the "three islands" will undoubtedly add points to your trip to Laoting. This advantage is also beyond the reach of established seaside resorts.

Laoting

Small wave tip:

Eating and drinking: Laoting's seafood clams, cymbidium, clam, razor clam, sea crab, etc. can make people addicted to seafood, and the special dish "Octopus Stewed Meat" has a unique flavor.

Ticket price: same as Mishima, 100 yuan. Including landing tickets, round-trip tickets and ship insurance.

Self-driving route:

From Beijing, take the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway (speed limit 120km/h), turn right at 156km and take the Tangshan East Exit (Luannan, Laoting and Jingtang Port Exit) to take the Tianjin-Tangshan Expressway. After about 20km, take the Jingtang Port exit ("Kaiping District, Jingtang Port") to Tanggang Expressway (speed limit 1 10 km/h) and get off at Laoting Exit (or get off at the end of the expressway). After entering Laoting County, go straight southeast along Dazhao Road to Tanggang Development Zone, about 8 kilometers southwest of Jingtang Port to Laoting Xindaihe (Repulse Bay) Resort.

Second, Emerald Island is a "desert" on one side of the sea (highly recommended! I've been there once, and I just collected the fare, which seems to be 20 nights. Camping there at night and listening to the sound of the sea at night are absolutely romantic. People with courage can also go sand skiing during the day, which is a bit like the snow-capped mountains that Tao Ranting played when he was a child, but it is much more exciting.)

Emerald Island is one of the eight national marine nature reserves in China. Located in the south bank of Gold Coast, Changli County, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. Surrounded by Bohai Sea and Qilihai (lagoon) in the east, north and west, it is a peninsula composed of yellow fine sand and green vegetation. The sand dunes on the island are undulating and beautiful in shape, with the highest point reaching 44 meters, and Fiona Fang is about 7 square kilometers, which is called "JD". COM desert ".

The island is a bird kingdom, and almost one-third of the birds in China can be found, including 68 species of birds under state protection. It is one of the main habitats and breeding grounds of the "world rare bird" black-billed gull.

Amphioxus, praised as a "living fossil" by animal taxonomists, is the dominant species of benthos in this sea area, with a density of 0/035 fish per square meter near the shallow water15m isobath, which is one of the highest distribution densities in China at present.

Boating on Emerald Island is very interesting.

The coast of Emerald Island has fine sand, gentle beach and gentle tide, which is very suitable for swimming. Climbing up the sand mountain not far away is like entering the desolate Gobi Desert. It's really cool to fly down on the slope of the sand mountain, jump over the gentle beach by the sea and go straight to the embrace of the sea.

Emerald island

Because of the low pollution, you can see small fish swimming around in the sea of Emerald Island. You can see many birds wandering around here. If you are lucky, you can face the "world rare bird" black-billed gull, or let the "living fossil" amphioxus swim with you.

Fun: Beach surfing and space bowling are both recreational activities in Emerald Island, and seaside camping and bonfire parties are also good.

Emerald island

Small wave tip:

Eat and drink: the barbecue buffet by the sea will make your appetite big. Food includes fresh marine fish, squid, kebabs and so on. You can also go to the Gold Coast Aquatic Products Market to buy seafood and find a shop to process it. It costs tens of dollars, and many restaurants are willing to help.

Admission price: 35 yuan in the off-season (September-65438+February) and 55 yuan in the peak season (July-August).

3. Zhimiaowan Waterfront, Huludao City, Liaoning Province (I have been here once, but it was not developed at that time. Far from Beijing, but definitely n times less than Nandaihe people. People who like swimming in the sea to catch crabs must not miss it)

Miaowan, Wanjia Town, Suizhong County. This is a small dock with original ecological characteristics, beautiful environment, no pollution and simple folk customs. Jieshi Beach there is quiet and a good place for swimming. The nearby harbor, with shallow sand and clear water, is a good place to catch crabs. You can not only enjoy playing in the water, but also enjoy a big meal and a big seafood meal. Because it is far away from the city, it is particularly quiet, adding a sense of tranquility. Walking into this natural beach, you will feel far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and find your own peace.

Zhimiaowan

Stroll in the harbor full of original ecology, swim and play in Jieshi seaside, catch the sea and crabs barefoot in the sandy shoal, live in the yard with old corn and soybeans, and enjoy seafood feasts: conch, pipi shrimp and so on.

Zhimiaowan

Play: Go to Zhimiao Bay and pursue silence. A quiet fishing village is the best place to lie on the beach and watch the sea quietly, watch the sunset at sea in the evening and listen to the sound of waves around the bonfire at night by the sea. ...

Zhimiaowan

Small wave tip:

Diet: Crab, Pipi Shrimp, Clam, Fresh Shellfish, Shrimp ... The sumptuous seafood dinner in Zhimiao Bay should not be missed. In addition, there are fishermen fishing at the seaside in the morning, and they can buy fresh seafood at reasonable prices from fishermen.

Self-driving: Miaowan in Suizhong is more than 300 kilometers away from Beijing, and the Hebei section of the expressway runs along Beijing-Shenyang Expressway-Shanhaiguan-Wanjia Exit 105 yuan. After the expressway goes straight for about 10 km, you can reach Zhimiao Bay, and the one-way drive takes about 3 hours.

Special note: don't live by the sea. We also lived by the sea at first. People's hearts are dark, and the power is always cut off or the voltage is extremely low. I didn't eat well either.

Qingdao is half sea and half city.

Qingdao is a coastal city in the east of China. But it's not just the sea. This city has many key words, many romances, many melancholy and many calmness. There are also draught beer, cherry blossoms, German architecture and northern men. The overwhelming blue, red tiles, green trees and salty sea breeze make people here and here calm and carefree. The booming industry and rapid economic development always remind us that there is infinite vitality and vigor here.

Waterfront wooden plank road

Five must-see attractions in Qingdao:

1 .badaguan

Qingdao's "red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky" has been perfectly interpreted here. Ten roads crisscross, parks and courtyards are combined, and the roads are lined with lush trees and flowers that bloom all the year round. There are different kinds of trees planted on the sidewalk, such as peach trees planted on both sides of Shaoguan Road, which bloom in spring and are pink as ribbons; Wei Zi is all over Zhengyangguan Road, which blooms in summer. Juyongguan Road is a five-pointed maple, which is frosted and dyed with maple red in autumn; Zijingguan Road is lined with rows of cedars, which are evergreen all year round. Ning Wuguan Road is a begonia ... which blooms from early spring to late autumn, and is known as the "Flower Street". You can ignore all the places in Qingdao, but you can't stay here for an afternoon. The tranquility and beauty of Qingdao are here.

2. Waterfront wooden plank road

Qingdao has a long coastline and the most beautiful scenery. When people set foot on the wooden plank road, or watch the ebb and flow of the tide, or watch the red flowers and green leaves along the way, or watch the city scenery, almost all of them give a chorus of admiration. This is the most romantic, authentic and persistent way of life.

3. Laoshan Mountain

Although Mount Tai is high in clouds, it is not as old as the East China Sea. The reputation of "the first mountain on the seamount" is not empty. The most beautiful thing in Laoshan is the sea view, not the mountain view. When the car hovers over the mountain road leading to the gate of Laoshan Scenic Area, you will instantly forget where you are when you look at the cliff and the sea on one side. Is it the ocean of love or the Pacific Ocean? Nothing matters anymore.

Golden sandy beach

4. Golden Beach

Although it is as far as Huangdao (Qingdao Development Zone), it is a long way. However, if you want to see the real coastline, not the narrow and gravel-covered coast like trestle or bathing beach, you must go to Golden Beach. Take the ferry from the ferry to Huangdao, and take the 18 road to Golden Beach. Ferry and bus take at least 1 half an hour. Friends who are ready to check the weather and leave early.

5. seawall

There are many small dams in Qingdao, some of which are used to raise seafood and some have other uses. When the tide is low, sit here and watch the sea and the sunset. Just like the rich and happy history of China. In fact, it is these long periods that have dragged human civilization for thousands of years.

Laoshan Mountain

Small wave tip:

Diet: The classic representative dishes of Xiao Yun Road Food Street, Maidao Food Street and East Qingdao are sea cucumber konjac, abalone with original shell, Qingdao beach crab, prawn roasted cabbage, hot and sour fish balls and fried oyster yellow. In addition, seafood snacks in the west of Qingdao can also make you happy.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Xingcheng ancient city protected by the sea in Ming and Qing Dynasties

Xingcheng Seaside National Scenic Area is the only scenic spot in China that integrates mountains, seas, islands, springs and cities. There is a beautiful seashore known as the "Second Beidaihe", a majestic first mountain, a chrysanthemum island with a magnificent seascape, a hot spring group with a leisure and holiday atmosphere, and a well-preserved ancient city of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Shoushan

Xingcheng must play four scenic spots:

Shoushan 1

It is named after the three peaks that stand tall and resemble human heads. It is a natural barrier standing in the northeast of the ancient city. If you want to keep the ancient city, you must climb the first mountain. Therefore, Shoushan is a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Shoushan was the main battlefield. This beacon tower, built in the Ming Dynasty, remains on the main peak. It was designated as a national forest park. The first mountain is beautiful. From a distance, it looks like a girl lying on her back, exquisite and elegant. Whenever a light cloud falls around Yunfeng, there will be a beautiful scene of "Three Clouds Crown". The clouds are as long as white gauze, but without clouds, the peaks are hidden and enchanting, just like a girl who still hides half her face behind the guitar. The ancients once gave her a resounding name-"Three Clouds Crown" and made it the first of the eight scenic spots in Xingcheng.

2. Xingcheng Hot Spring

Known as "Tangquan" in ancient times, it is located between the ancient city and the seaside. Hot springs are natural mineral springs formed by underground lava. The spring water is clear and transparent, colorless and tasteless, with a water temperature of about 67, a pH value of 7.4 and a specific gravity of 1.006, belonging to a high-temperature weakly alkaline salt mineral spring. Spring water contains minerals such as potassium, sodium, calcium, ammonium, sulfur and magnesium, and also contains a certain amount of radioactive elements radon and radium. Spring water can be taken orally, or washed and bathed, mainly by bathing. Soaking in hot springs can get rid of diseases, and has obvious curative effect on rheumatoid arthritis, Kaschin-Beck disease, neurasthenia, hypertension, dermatosis, chronic gynecological diseases and postoperative recovery. Healthy people soaking in hot springs can refresh their minds and relieve fatigue. ...

3. Xingcheng Ancient City

It is a precious historical heritage left over more than 500 years ago, the most complete preserved ancient city of Ming Dynasty in China, and a state-level cultural relic protection unit. Xingcheng Ancient City was built in the third year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1428). The ancient city is slightly square, with a circumference of 3,274 meters, a height of 8.88 meters, a bottom width of 6.5 meters and a top width of 5 meters. Build a crib along the outer edge of the wall top and a parapet on the inner side. There is a gate in the center of the city wall, which is called He Chun Gate in the east, Yan Hui Gate in the south, Yongning Gate in the west and Weiyuan Gate in the north. Towering arrow towers are built on the city gates, and sidewalks are built along the city walls. The fort was built in four corners, protruding from the corner of the city, to set up red artillery. In the battle of Ningyuan in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Nuerhachi, the Qing Taizu, was hit by the Red Yi cannon and was seriously injured. He died shortly after returning to Shengjing.

4. Xingcheng Waterfront

It is a national 4A-level scenic spot. She is very much like Seattle in the United States and Qingdao in China. The bathing beach stretches 14 km, and consists of four bathing beaches, namely Xinghai Bay, Gangkou Bay, Taijiawan and Laolongwan. It is the largest natural bathing beach in northern China. There is no reef in the bathing beach, the beach on the shore is soft and white, glittering and translucent as jade, the depth of the sea is suitable, the water quality is stable and clear, the bottom is clear, the coastal terrain is open and the trees are shaded, which is a natural paradise given by the sea to the world.

Xingcheng seafood

Small wave tip:

Eating and drinking: Xingcheng sea area is rich in more than 60 kinds of fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish and jellyfish, among which fresh fish, shrimp, jellyfish, variegated clams and jellyfish skin are the best seafood products, enjoying a long reputation and selling well at home and abroad.

By car: Beijing-Beijing-Shenyang Expressway-Emerald Island-Gold Coast-Beidaihe-Nandaihe-Qinhuangdao-Zushan-Xingcheng

6. Nandaihe is a holiday resort in our memory.

Nandaihe seaside tourist area is located in the southeast of Funing County 19.5km, adjacent to Beidaihe seaside, a summer resort. Nandaihe Beach has soft sand and flat tide, flat beach width, stable tide, moderate water temperature, safety and comfort. The seabed sand is fine and soft, and the seawater is clear and transparent without pollution.

Attractions: At present, coastal highways have run through this area, and are connected with Beidaihe, the first pass in the world, the Gold Coast, Jieshi Mountain, Beiniuding Mountain and other famous tourist areas.

Nandaihe Yese

Small wave tip:

Self-driving route: Beijing-Shenyang Expressway goes straight, Nandaihe exit, and the toll is about 100 yuan.

Beidaihe

Beidaihe, the old Sanya in our memory.

Beidaihe's 20-kilometer-long gentle beach has always been a classic summer resort for Beijingers. The pigeon nest park in the east is the best place to watch the sunrise and tide. Qin Gong, Qiyuan and Ocean Park with inward coastline also have their own characteristics.

Beidaihe seafood

Small wave tip:

Eat and drink: when you go to the seaside, you will inevitably eat seafood, but when you eat seafood in a restaurant, you should be careful not to be slaughtered. You can buy it in a nearby fishing village, but you need to be careful.

How to play: beach volleyball, jet skiing, etc.

Self-driving: Sifang Bridge of Beijing East Fourth Ring Road-Beijing-Shenyang Expressway-Xianghe Toll Station (20 yuan)-Beidaihe Exit (105 yuan) is 253km, and the whole journey takes 3.5 hours.

There are many large transport vehicles on the road, so pay attention to traffic safety.

Tip: Many people like Tiger Stone Ocean Park in Beidaihe. 8 yuan/person's ticket is actually a beach, a large bathing beach. There are all kinds of things to rent, such as recliners, umbrellas, lifebuoys, hovercraft and so on. You can rent an umbrella and two chairs for more than ten dollars.

However, because there are people everywhere, I suggest you not to join in the fun here. Why not walk along the coast, choose a free and quiet beach (such beaches can be seen everywhere along the coastline, you can choose), set up a arbor to fish at this sea pole, or go all the way west, and you will find a small bungalow built along the coast. You can ask fishermen to take you out to sea. It's a bit expensive in the peak season. But I can feel the excitement of catching a few octopus and small miscellaneous fish in one net.

If you want to eat seafood, you must keep your eyes open and watch the place. Some big restaurants are extremely butchers, so be sure to ask the price before eating. It's best to buy seafood by yourself at the wharf or wholesale market, and then find a restaurant or a place to stay for processing, some by the weight and some by the time, about 10 yuan. Without a bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou. It can kill bacteria and dispel summer heat, and it can also add a "till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon" interest to friends gathering on the beach.

Eight, Yue Tuo Island

It is a sand island in Bohai Bay, southwest of Laoting County, with a land area of 0.43 square kilometers. Named after the curved crescent moon. Yue Tuo Island is 4.8km away from the land coast, so it is well closed. The island is overgrown with shrubs, flowers and wild fruits exude a faint fragrance, and the almost closed natural environment is rarely disturbed and destroyed by human beings, and the ecological landscape remains in its original state. Hundreds of species of birds ..

Self-driving: (1) Take Beijing-Shenyang Expressway (speed limit 120km/h), take Tangshan East Exit (Luannan, Laoting and Jingtang Port Exit) 156km and turn right to take Jintang Expressway. After about 20km, take the Jingtang Port exit ("Kaiping District, Jingtang Port") to Tanggang Expressway (speed limit 1 10 km/h) and get off at Laoting Exit (or get off at the end of the expressway). After entering Laoting County, drive southeast along Dazhao Road and go straight to Tanggang Development Zone. You can see the signpost on Yue Tuo Island and follow it, but the signpost there is a bit exaggerated, as if the actual road is much farther than the signpost.

Tips:

It is best not to eat or drink on the island. It's the tourist season. Seafood is more expensive than that in Beijing. A plate of boiled peanuts is 18, and it doesn't taste good either. I suggest you go to Laoting County (New Town) for dinner, which is affordable and the price is good.

Nine, Rizhao Wanpingkou Waterfront

Zhao, named after the first ray of sunshine, is a beautiful seaside town on the coast of the Yellow Sea. Golden Beach, 60 kilometers from south to north along the coast, is the main attraction of Rizhao. Wanpingkou in Rizhao is the nearest bathing beach in Rizhao city and the second bathing beach in Rizhao. The beach has good sand quality and complete facilities, but the disadvantage is that the waves are bigger than other beaches. People with poor water quality suggest that swimming in shallows with swimming rings is the most suitable. Because it is closest to the city, tourists not only come from other places, but also many locals come here to swim in summer. In the tourist season, this is the most crowded beach in sunshine. "To travel in the sunshine, you must go to Wanpingkou" has become the knowledge of tourists from all over the world.
