Bring a light jacket as the sea breeze is cool, but the sunset is worth it! Bring sand toys for kids to build sandcastles and wait for waves to "attack" them. Adults can relax on the rocks - this is what a vacation should be! 📍 Day 2: Family Paradise at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom! 🐬🎡 Must-read guide for parents with kids! ✅ Rush to "Chimelong Ocean Kingdom" at 8am! 🚗 Rent a stroller at the entrance (RMB 100/day) for convenience.
