Watching the sunset by the sea is romantic, pleasant and happy.

- ⚠️ First, download the Aranya app. All hotel bookings, food delivery, and maps are done through this app. The hotel butler will contact you the day before check-in. Inform the butler of your license plate number upon arrival, and the security guard will allow you entry. After check-in, activate your park code in the app. You need to show the park code to take the bus to the canteen within the park. Four-Day Itinerary🧾 Day 1️⃣ Check into A Hotel. Have dinner at the Fourth Canteen. (This hotel is good value for money; the beds and rooms are relatively large. The Fourth Canteen is right across the street. I don't recommend it; the pancakes, squid, and stir-fries I had were just average.) Day 2️⃣ Sunrise at the Auditorium—Breakfast at the Seventh Canteen (recommended: beef offal noodles; ate there for three days straight)—Seaside Market—Az Cafe—Aranya Shop (bought fridge magnets from the Auditorium)—Sugu—Manner Cafe—Bar Lotus—Chaimido Day 3️⃣ Sunrise at the Auditorium — Lonely Library — Beach Swing — Breakfast at the 7th Canteen — Check into Micasa Friendship Club Hotel — North Shore Auditorium — Spring Terrace — Mountain Pond Cafe — Grandma's Handmade Crafts — Tuesday Club — Fireworks at the Beach — Packed Dinner at the 9th Canteen and Back to the Hotel (❗️The Lonely Library and Tuesday Club are on the same road. Our route wasn't planned very well. We recommend getting up early to go to the library to take photos and watch the sunrise to avoid peak crowds, or going to the library before sunset. Then just keep walking until you reach Tuesday Club.) Day 4️⃣ Breakfast at Spring Terrace (provided by the hotel) — Beef Offal Noodles at the 7th Canteen — Still watching the sea Highlights: ① Beef Offal Noodles at the 7th Canteen ② Hawthorn Dirty and Apple Iced Latte at Az Cafe ③ Sugu Apple Pie ④ Bar Lotus Sausage Crepes (the ambiance is also excellent) ⑤ Mountain Pond Cafe Lose Picks: ① Spring Terrace (all five dishes ordered were bad; the rice noodles for breakfast were okay) Other restaurants were average. 🏨Hotel: A Hotel (best value for money) The service was commendable. Friendship House is perfect except for its location in Phase 9, which is a bit far. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Aranya. - The sea in Aranya isn't turbulent, there aren't any crashing waves, but it's very calming and a truly healing place. I can't fit all the pictures in this guide. See you next time, Aranya! -

Without exaggeration, Aranya is absolutely fantastic! Markets, cafes, and bars are everywhere. After lunch, Xue'er and I randomly picked a coffee shop. Upon reaching the second floor, we were completely stunned by the breathtaking view from this window! This wasn't just about coffee! It was like a scene straight out of a beach movie! 🎬 There were booths on the other side of the floor, next to a patch of reeds. Enjoying coffee while feeling the sea breeze was so chill! PS: Aside from being a bit cold, everything else was perfect. ☺️Personal Tips: 1:) Order on the first floor; the coffee is decent, nothing special. 2:) It gets very crowded on weekends; weekdays are recommended. 3:) Sunsets come early in the north, so try to go around 3 or 4 pm when the sunset glows for the best atmosphere and photos. ☕️Shop Name: Bar Louts #PlacesMyWeChatAreSoMostAskedAbout #AwesomeDomesticIslands #WatchTheMostBeautifulSunsetHere #PretendYouAreAbroad #ViewFromTheWindow

Spring and summer in Aranya! Embrace the chill of your beach life 🌊 Blue skies embrace the salty sea breeze, even the air carries a gentle, orange-scented scent—this sense of relaxation is simply welded to your skin! My friend and I booked a high-rise ocean-view guesthouse in Phase 6. Opening the window reveals the boundless ocean, and we can chase the sunrise from our beds 🌅. In the evenings, we set up a small table on the terrace, laid out a pre-purchased ham and cheese platter, and chatted until late with ice-cold beer. The sound of the distant waves was the perfect background noise—this is what a vacation should be like! Must-visit beach bars, check them out according to your preference: • Bar Lotus: The top choice for daytime coffee and nighttime drinks! The second-floor window view is a must-visit; even a black and gray outfit will look magazine-worthy. The cocktails are both visually appealing and delicious. • Sea Breeze Bar: A classic spot next to the chapel, with outdoor tables and chairs facing the sea. Enjoying a refreshing drink while watching people come and go on the beach is incredibly soothing. • Thirteen Invitations Bar: A utopia tucked away on a street corner. The long, narrow space is cozy and private, perfect for a quiet drink and chat with friends. 🌿Spring/Summer Travel Guide (Avoiding Pitfalls): 1. Choose accommodation in Phases 1-3! 1. **5-minute walk to the beach and auditorium, super convenient for shopping and dining;** For larger gatherings, prioritize the Phase 3 villas, which offer elegant entertainment spaces. 2. **Entry Method:** Booking a guesthouse is the smoothest option; enter directly with your reservation information. If you haven't booked accommodation, book the Lonely Library a week in advance or buy tickets for the art museum. 3. **Photo Spots:** Take photos sitting on the beach near the auditorium, capture silhouettes through the Lonely Library's floor-to-ceiling windows, or sit on the small round chair on the side of the Tagi red house – even on a cloudy day, these spots are photogenic. 4. **Must-Do Experiences:** Visit the Sand Dune Art Museum in the afternoon for an exhibition; the spiral staircase leads directly to the rooftop overlooking the sea. In the evening, cycle along the seaside path and watch a pink and purple sunset. 5. **Tips:** The community shuttle bus is free; remember to download the Aranya APP to check routes. It can be windy at the beach, so bring a light jacket for mornings and evenings. Spring and summer in Aranya don't require a rush; simply relaxing on the beach, having a small gathering with friends, or watching the sunset at a bar is enough to heal all your fatigue. #Aranya #AranyaGuesthouse #AranyaTravelGuide #GuesthouseGathering #SeasideBar
