Qinhuangdao Pigeon Nest Park: A secret coastal place for watching the sunrise and walking on the waves In the arms of Bohai Bay, there is a treasure place where you can touch the first ray of sunshine in the morning and feel the wildness of nature - Qinhuangdao Pigeon Nest Park. As the most famous sunrise-watching spot in northern China, it not only offers magnificent views of the sea and sky, but also offers endless surprises to tourists between the ebb and flow of the tide. At five o'clock in the morning, I went to a romantic date to watch the sunrise at sea. At four-thirty in the morning, the sky was still shrouded in deep blue, and the Eagle Point Pavilion in Dove's Nest had already welcomed tourists who were waiting with bated breath. As the sky glowed with orange-pink light, the sea level seemed to be ignited, and a red sun jumped out like molten gold, dyeing the clouds into a gorgeous purple-red. At this moment, the rays of light sprinkled on the mudflats after the tide receded, and the mirror-like shallow water reflected the colorful sky, as if you were in Monet's oil painting. It is recommended to check the sunrise time in advance, put on a windproof jacket, occupy the C position at Eagle Point Pavilion or the wooden boardwalk by the sea, and use a camera to freeze this shocking moment. At low tide, unlock the "natural blind box" on the mudflats. Two hours after sunrise, the sea water quietly recedes, and the most childlike way of playing in Dove Nest really begins. Roll up your trouser legs and walk on the wet sand towards the depths of the sea. You can see thumb-sized crabs poking their heads out of sand holes everywhere, and hermit crabs running around with their colorful shells on their backs. Bring a small shovel and a bucket, and dig for shellfish hidden under the mud and sand with your children, or observe starfish and anemones attached to the rocks. This mudflat is like a natural museum, where you may discover surprises every time you bend down. It is recommended to wear non-slip sandals, prepare a sun hat and drink water. A migratory bird station where you dance with countless creatures. If you visit in spring or autumn, Dove Nest is a paradise for bird-watching enthusiasts. As an important stopover on the East Asia-Australia migratory bird route, tens of thousands of red-crowned cranes, white storks and egrets stop here every year. Climb up the bird-watching corridor in the park and use a telescope to capture the graceful figures of flocks of birds flying over the wetlands, or listen to the clear cries of red-billed gulls flying over the sea. There are ecological science display boards in the park, which are especially suitable for taking children to a vivid nature lesson. Travel tips - Tickets: 5 yuan in the off-season (November to February of the following year), 25 yuan in the peak season (March to October), half price for students - Transportation: Take bus No. 34 in the city to the "Pigeon Nest Park" station, and park your car in the park parking lot (10 yuan/time) - Best time: 5:00-7:00 in summer to watch the sunrise, 9:00-11:00 to catch the sea; bird watching in the early morning in spring and autumn - Surrounding joint tours: Adjacent to Olympic Avenue Park and Qinhuangdao Wildlife Park, you can plan a one-day coastal ecological tour The beauty of Pigeon Nest Park lies in the fact that it carries the epic feeling of "facing Jieshi in the east to see the vast sea" and the fireworks of the city of picking shells and chasing the waves. Whether you are a photographer chasing light and shadow, a family yearning for nature, or an urbanite eager to escape from the hustle and bustle, there is always a sea here that can accommodate all your imaginations of romance and freedom.
