Guangdong's Maldives: Experience Summer Outdoor Adventures with One Click
🌞🌞🌞 Pristine and undeveloped, crystal-clear waters, fine sandy beaches, stunning rock formations, a haven for tidal exploration, and a hidden gem away from the crowds. Discover the untamed "wild" glass sea of Shanwei.
⛺【Must-Experience Highlights】:
✨1. Jelly Glass Sea
The water is so clear you can see the bottom, with a gradient of blue and green under the sunlight, rivaling overseas islands.
Best viewing time: Sunny days between 10 AM and 3 PM (when the light is optimal).
✨2. Mysterious Rocky Beach and Caves
The beach is flanked by dark brown volcanic rocks with rugged shapes. During low tide, natural water pools form, creating mirror-like surfaces perfect for stunning photography.
Explore hidden caves in the rocky area (exercise caution and check tide schedules).
✨3. Immersive Tidal Exploration Fun
During low tide (check Shanwei tide tables!), you can collect snails, pry oysters, and catch small crabs in the rocky areas, enjoying the thrill of fishing.
Essential tools: Small bucket, gloves, shovel, anti-slip shoes (the rocks are sharp!).
✨4. Breathtaking Sunrise and Starry Sky
Facing east with an unobstructed view, this is one of the best spots in Shanwei to watch the sunrise over the sea.
With minimal light pollution, you can see a dazzling starry sky on clear nights.
