#2024Travel Review Hailing Island is located in the northern waters of the South China Sea at the southwest end of Yangjiang City, covering an area of ​​105 square kilometers. It is the fourth largest island in Guangdong Province and is known as Guangdong Hawaii. There are national AAAA-level scenic spots on the island - Dajiao Bay, Mawei Island Scenic Area, Shili Silver Beach Scenic Area and Golden Beach Scenic Area. The island is covered with tree-lined trees, the sea bottom is flat, and the water is calm. It is famous for its "Hailing Sunset", which is the best place to watch the sunset. When the sky is filled with colorful clouds at night, many tourists stop here to wait. Hailing Island also has rich cultural and historical landscapes, such as Taifu Temple, Linggu Temple, ancient fort, Zhenhai Pavilion, Guanyin Pavilion and more than 10 places. Everywhere has a tragic and touching story. The newly developed Maritime Silk Road Museum mainly displays cultural relics salvaged from Song Dynasty merchant ships.

There's nothing more refreshing in summer than jumping into the water to play. Now, during the summer vacation, everywhere is crowded with people. To avoid the crowds, I found such a place in Guangdong, full of Southeast Asian style 'Venice Water City'. A super long swimming lane surrounds the entire villa resort. Open the garden door, and you can dive into the water. Few people and lots of fun, staying for two nights is extremely enjoyable. - 🔸Garden directly into the Hawaiian swimming lane This time I stayed in a waterside suite, the biggest feature is the back garden on the first floor, open the door and there's the swimming lane, super cool! The key point is that they also provide free glass boats, yellow ducks, banana boats, and other popular floating swimming gear, perfect for taking photos, really fun and photogenic! The garden comes with a private hot spring pool, and the hotel also offers floating afternoon tea, so you can play in the water while enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea. The living room also has an automatic mahjong table, making vacation gatherings super fun. . 🔸Bird's Nest Hot Spring The swimming lane can also lead directly to the hot spring area, with various health-preserving hot springs like red wine, angelica, and rose, as well as massage pools. Swim during the day and soak in the hot springs at night while watching the starry sky, it's so relaxing. . 🔸Fairy-tale amusement camp There is also a super large riverside camping area here, with a huge lawn for running freely, camping, and picnicking, as well as slides and moon swings. Kids can ride the small train, adults can play go-karts, and animal lovers can get close to alpacas, ponies, and other cute pets in the pet park. . 🔸Sunset lighthouse boardwalk Be sure to come to the pier at sunset, stroll along the riverside boardwalk, there's a lighthouse, colorful stairs, perfect for photos. The sunset reflects on the river and the mountains on the opposite shore, giving a special Bali vibe! - 📝Other travel tips: ▪️Don't worry about food, the hotel provides free buffet breakfast with Yangjiang specialties like pig intestine rolls and Sanjia noodles. For lunch and dinner, you can eat at their restaurant, which serves Yangjiang specialty farmhouse dishes, cheap and delicious. Spend over 500 and you can sing karaoke for free, really awesome. ▪️It's about an hour's drive from Hailing Island, where you can enjoy the sunshine and beach. - 🌴Guangdong Yangjiang DS Hot Spring Resort Hotel 📍Futong Shiliquancheng, Yangchun Hot Spring Avenue, Yangjiang City

You’ll even find tandem hello bikes to rent at the roadside - but don’t bet on them being in working order 😂 Tips If out walking along the coast, just be aware some public toilets were closed down! 📍Ten Miles, Silver Beach Hailing Island, Yangjiang 🚎How to get there?

It’s summer in China! Woke up at 5.00am packed with photography equipment fully charged and headed to the beach just behind hotel Crowne Plaza, 5mins walking distance. Feeling the strong blowing wind during the blue hour while strolling across the beach before sunrise is really relaxing. Just right about 5:39am, get the camera ready when the sky started to turn yellow indicating the sun is rising.

Attractions - Upon arriving on the island you’ll be greeted by the lush coastline. The most famous one being the 10km beach. the beaches are clean and beautiful and not very crowded which makes for a peaceful trip. at night people go to the beach to set off fireworks. Food & Restaurants - you must try the seafood when on hailing island. often the fish is caught from the sea and then served on your plate. it doesn’t get any more fresher than that! #tigeryear2022 #beachlife #staycation #mountainview

My wife and I decided to holiday here because it would be close to the beach. Despite the anticipated 1 hour trip from the railway station to the hotel, we found the hotel did its best to take as much money as possible from its customers. It's on-site convenience store was vastly overpriced and significantly understocked compared to other locations, while access to its pools were charged to those staying on the property. This put a sour taste in our mouth, so we opted to minimise our spend within the hotel. Fortunately, there were plenty of options for food in the local area, and delivery options were also plentiful.

China is the “hometown of silk”, and silk was the most representative of the goods exported by China on the Silk Road. At the end of the 19th century, German geographer and traveler Ferdinand von Richthofen called the Silk Road routes die Seidenstrasse (‘the Silk Road’) or Seidenstrassen (‘silk roads’) in his book ‘China’. The term was quickly accepted by academics and the public, and “Silk Road” was formally accepted as a proper noun. #urbanexplorer #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Dajiao Bay is a well-known scenic spot in Hailing Island. It has beautiful scenery, gentle winds and calm waves, evenly distributed and soft beaches, clear and pure sea water, and fresh air. It is a great place for tourism and vacation. The public bathing area in the middle of the scenic area allows you to experience a variety of water activities, including surfing, windsurfing, motorboats, paragliders, beach cars, etc., which are very exciting.

HaiLing Island in China has added some new spots that opened in the last few years to check out if you haven't been there in a while : the sank cargo boat from ancient Silk Road; and the HaiLing National Wetland Park. Both are interesting. #happynewyear #happynewyear

| Capturing the traces of time with a brush. Not long ago, Shandi Ancient Village on Hailing Island welcomed a special group of visitors—students carrying painting supplies. They came here to sketch, using their brushes to record every scene and moment in the ancient village. I followed them into this poetic place, experiencing a beautiful collision of art and history. 🏡 The Charm of the Ancient Village Shandi Ancient Village is like an ancient scroll quietly unfurled in the embrace of Hailing Island. Most of the buildings here are blue-brick houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties, exuding rustic charm and a sense of timeworn history. Strolling along the stone-paved paths, you can almost hear the footsteps of time. Every corner of the village is filled with stories—the mottled walls, ancient doors and windows, and stone benches at the doorsteps all invite you to pause and take a closer look. 🎨 The Students' Sketching Time The students found their own creative paradise here. Some sat in the village alleys, sketching the lines of ancient houses; others painted by the pond, capturing the harmony between lotus flowers and historic architecture; and some gathered under the old banyan tree at the village entrance, tracing the play of light and shadow. Their brushes danced across the canvas, each stroke brimming with love and reverence for the ancient village. 🌿 A Source of Sketching Inspiration The beauty of Shandi Ancient Village lies not only in its historic buildings but also in its perfect harmony with nature. The ponds, fields, and distant green mountains around the village provide abundant inspiration for the students. Here, you can see ancient blue-brick walls complementing blooming lotuses, or the long shadows cast by the village alleys under the setting sun. Every scene seems to whisper an ancient tale. 🌟 Sketching Tips - **Best Sketching Spots**: The old banyan tree at the village entrance, the alleys, and the lotus pond are all excellent choices. - **Timing**: The soft morning light is ideal for capturing shadows, while the warm hues of the evening sunset add richness to your artwork. - **Accommodation**: There are homestays in the village—consider staying a few nights to immerse yourself in its tranquility and sketch the traces of time. If you love painting or simply want to experience the charm of an ancient village, take a stroll through Shandi Ancient Village. Here, you’ll find not only breathtaking scenery but also the artistic energy left behind by the students. Time seems to slow down here, making every moment worth capturing.
