Beihai's ocean-view hotel for just over 100 yuan offers a thousand-yuan experience

Summer in Beihai always carries the salty scent of sea breeze, with the fine sands of Silver Beach shimmering under the sunlight. The most delightful discovery of this trip was undoubtedly the Peninsula Art Hotel hidden near Silver Beach. The location is absolutely perfect – just a five-minute walk from the hotel to Silver Beach. You can slip on sandals to catch the sunrise in the morning and stroll back under the sunset glow in the evening. Even better, Beihai's famous food street is nearby, where you can enjoy freshly grilled oysters and shaved ice as late as 10 PM – a heavenly setup for food lovers. The moment you push open the hotel door, you're struck by its creamy Instagrammable design. This isn't some cheap influencer-style decor, but an elegant Morandi color palette paired with smooth, curved architecture. As a tech enthusiast, the biggest surprise was the room's smart system. No fumbling for switches – just voice commands to adjust lighting, air conditioning, even curtains. After a day playing in the ocean, lying in bed and requesting music by voice felt magical. The smart toilet with heated seats made even the humid seaside nights comfortable. In terms of value, among Silver Beach's typically thousand-yuan hotels, Peninsula Art Hotel stands out like its decor – no outrageous pricing, just thoughtful details that touch your heart. Only when leaving did I notice the words on the lobby wall: "Travel is meeting another version of yourself," and a good accommodation makes that encounter especially beautiful.
