**7:00 West Port Garden · Rails and Tides** An abandoned locomotive sleeps amidst pansies, its rusted tracks transformed into floral streams. From the top floor of the converted gantry crane—now a starlit lounge—watch the sunrise turn the navigation posts on the breakwater into golden nails. An elderly couple strolls slowly along the tracks, the grandfather playing "Night at the Naval Port" on his harmonica while the grandmother scatters breadcrumbs to seagulls chasing the waves. Faded production slogans still linger on the old port authority walls, while the fifth bloom of trumpet vines climbs over them. **9:30 Pigeon Nest Park · Beneath the Wings** The wooden boardwalk through the wetlands steams with the fragrance of green reeds. Through binoculars, a reed parrotbill pecks at the stalks, morning dew shaking from its tail feathers like silver threads. Suddenly, all the birds take flight—a group of red-scarfed schoolchildren rush forward with birdwatching guides, skidding to a stop at the warning line. Holding their breath, they sketch the slender beaks of pied avocets, their pens moving in sync with the birds’ bills under the sun, as if performing a sacred ritual. **12:15 Xianluo Island · Conch Echoes Across the Sea** The cable car sways as it cuts through the emerald waves, its transparent floor creating the illusion of walking on water. At noon, the island’s shell ridge shimmers like dragon scales under the sun. Picking up a sun-and-moon shell, you find shards of Northern Song porcelain embedded in its spiral grooves. A lighthouse keeper in a sailor’s striped shirt paints the tower: "The granite base was hauled here from Laoshan by German engineers in 1905." Below the bronze statue in Conch Fairy Square, children piece together new legends with freshly gathered shells. **3:00 Tiger Stone Park · Waves Carving Stone Books** The receding tide reveals sea-carved caves in the rocky outcrops, resembling a black forest cake gnawed by a giant beast. Kneeling by Tiger’s Roar Rock, press your ear to its surface—the echoes inside carry ancient reverberations. A woman in Hanfu presses rice paper against tidal rock art, the overlapping ripples and stone veins blurring the line between wave and rock. An elderly beachcomber gasps as he pries off a barnacle to uncover a coral-engraved copper coin hidden in the crevice. **6:40 Golden Dream Bay Beach · Twilight Scavengers** The sunset dyes the shark nets golden, while sea glass flickers in the surf. A lifeguard in a fluorescent vest blows his whistle, but the tire tracks of a sand motorcycle suddenly glow—a boy traces the path with glow sticks, creating a road of light. A woman in a tie-dyed dress dances by the waves, her skirt sweeping over a star chart of barnacle shells and mother-of-pearl. Picking up a broken celadon cup, you find pink coral polyps’ calcified skeletons clinging to its edges. These scattered fragments of time will eventually weave into Qinhuangdao’s poetic memory.

The first rays of morning sun pierced through the mist and fell on the golden sands of Nandaihe. Standing on the balcony of the Sinopharm Healthcare Nandaihe Health Community (Snail Island Scenic Area Store), I watched the distant waves gently lapping the shore, as if whispering the story of a new day. This place is not just a stop on my journey, but a starting point for exploring this coastal city. 🏠 Home Away from Home Stepping into the room, the warm-toned decor instantly puts you at ease. The simple yet romantic design reveals a homely warmth in every detail.
