It is said that Guanyin achieved enlightenment here and became one of the four great Bodhisattvas, leaving behind many sacred relics associated with miraculous legends. Attractions include 'Buddha's Sand', 'Buddha's Seal Stone', 'Enlightenment Stone', and more. The scenery here is charming, with absolutely unique natural features, making it a natural tourist destination. Facing the South China Sea, vast and boundless, its grandeur, its hidden beauty, and its divine charm are captivating.

Summer vacation comes to Shanwei to catch the sea and tour the ancient castle🌊 The first time I saw it, I thought it was the home of Octopus Brother, haha! Walking through the temple and the seaside sandy road🌅 You can see the super open sea horizon Go left and see the ancient castle coffee☕ you are there! There are graffiti concrete walls, ancient castle watchtowers built with rocks🏰 The waves beat against the castle and the rocks on the shore 🍋Order a refreshing coffee special mix Walk with your lover or friends by the sea🌊 Feel the sea breeze, listen to the waves, and sweep away all worries!🍻 📍Shanwei City Ancient Castle on the Sea 🚗Navigate to Dashiwu, there is a parking lot at the entrance🅿️ (10r/car)

Shanwei Castle Cafe is also a new internet celebrity check-in spot. There is an abandoned castle here. It has a broken feeling like a medieval European castle. The waves are very big, so be careful when taking photos here. There are still a lot of people on Saturdays and Sundays. There is a cafe next to the castle. The scenery is beautiful when sitting on the second floor. The castle has a sense of story when you bring an indoor frame. In short, I highly recommend this place🔛 Location: Red Bay Zhalang Guanyin Tourism Scenic Area

Starting from Guangzhou, the fastest high-speed train (Xintang Station) can reach Shanwei Station in just 1 hour, and the slowest high-speed train (South Station) is no more than 2 hours. With the opening of Guangzhou Baiyun Station and Shan-Shan high-speed rail, it is more convenient for us to go to the Chaoshan area to play~. As everyone knows, Guangdong can freely watch the sea even in winter now, after all, without cold air, the temperature is often 25 or 26 degrees, it is appropriate to go to blow the sea breeze. Take the bus from Shanwei Station, only 2 stops and less than 30 minutes, teleport to Red Bay! Of course, it's faster if you take a taxi. Speaking of Red Bay, the must-visit place is definitely Zhe Lang Peninsula. An abandoned building stands by the sea, eating wind and sun, drinking salty sea water, being eroded and mottled and incomplete, pure Harry Potter·Azkaban's immediate sense, "dark wizards" can pose here at will, definitely produce great pictures in seconds, love it.

Love traveling and sharing this self-driving trip to Guangdong Share a good place for vacation⛱️ - Shanwei A city whose beauty is underestimated 🌊Shanwei Red Sea Bay is a good place to watch the sunset 📍SUNSET Sunset Surf Shop in Shanwei Red Bay There is a free parking lot next to it 🅿️ You can park overnight. There is a toilet next to it, which is very convenient. It is recommended to order a drink around 3 pm and wait for the sunset. There is a long coffee street and food stalls along the coastline. It is worth spending an afternoon here to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunset. It is very chill! About eating🦞 We had dinner at Yuan Feng Food Stall on this street. There were still a lot of people on Saturday and Sunday, so we had to wait for more than 40 minutes. The food was good and not disappointing.
