The sea at Dongshan Island is jelly-colored!! 🏝️ The blue-and-white houses in Nanmen Bay make you feel like you're in an Italian town. Rent an electric scooter to cruise along the coastline, let the sea breeze mess up your hair, and feel pure joy!! Must-visit "Fish Bone Sandbar"! This beach shaped like a big fish only appears at low tide 🐟 Run barefoot chasing waves and collecting shells 🐚 In the evening, head to Tongling Night Market—grilled oysters piled like mountains for just ¥10 for 3 🦪 Mango smoothies so sweet they melt your heart 🥭 Only ¥30 per person to eat till you're stuffed—unbeatable value!! 🏖️ City ②: Shanwei, Guangdong—A Hidden Coastal Gem You'll Want to Keep Secret Shanwei is way too underrated!! 🌊 The waves at Honghai Bay are incredibly soothing. Stroll on the fine sand of Jinding Bay during the day—it feels like walking on flour! The most stunning spot is the "Sea Fort" at Zhelang Peninsula, where waves crash against rocks creating snowy sprays—every shot is postcard-worthy 📸 For food, rush to Erma Road!! Crispy fried Xiaomi Guo with soft glutinous filling 🥠 Vegetable tea with shrimp cakes is mind-blowingly fresh!! Don't miss the century-old dessert shop's sea jelly—add a spoon of honey and ice, instantly cooling you down~ At night, admire the twinkling fishing boat lights at Pinqing Lake—romance level max!! 🌴 City ③: Taizhou, Zhejiang—A Secluded Coastal Paradise Where Mountains Meet Sea Taizhou's coastline is incredible!! 🚢 The colorful Xiaoruo Village in Wenling Shitang looks like a spilled paint palette—every corner is photogenic~ Take a boat to the sea ranch and enjoy freshly harvested plump oysters—crack them open and eat raw, the sweetness explodes in your mouth!! Must-visit "Millennium Sunrise Park"! Catch the first sunlight on mainland China at dawn 🌅 Golden rays dancing on the sea will heal your soul~ In the evening, try Qiangao in the old town—sticky rice skin stuffed with pork belly, tofu, and veggies—one bite and you're in heaven!! 🌇 City ④: Beihai, Guangxi—The Ultimate Budget-Friendly Coastal Paradise Beihai is perfect for vacation!! 🌞 The silver sand at Silver Beach reflects sunlight—cool and silky under bare feet~ Take a boat to Weizhou Island to see volcanic landscapes—the black reefs against turquoise water at Crocodile Mountain are magazine-cover material!!

Rent an electric bike to circle the island, watching sunset with sea breeze—this is the ideal coastal life~ Guys! These 4 coastal cities are super convenient by high-speed rail 🚄 Fewer crowds, stunning views, and affordable—way better than Xiamen!! Whether you want photo ops, food adventures, or just relaxation, they've got it all~ Grab your friends and go now!! ✨ You'll regret missing out for a whole year!!!
