Nanny-level guide to Beihai, Guangxi, without stepping on mines
📍Transportation: You can fly directly to Beihai from all over the place🛫, or you can first go to Nanning and then take the high-speed train to Beihai, which is more cost-effective🤑. In Beihai, you can call a car at any time🚗, if the distance is not far, renting a small electric car is also good, about 50 yuan a day, and you can bargain.
📍Accommodation: It is recommended to stay near Silver Beach or Qiaogang, which is convenient to go anywhere. We stayed in the Silver Beach villa area, the price is slightly expensive, but the scenery and facilities are super awesome! The hotel is Silver Beach and Shore Hotel, a few steps to the beach, and you can bargain offline! The hotel is fully equipped, first-class service, and there is an outdoor swimming pool, which is super beautiful for taking pictures📷!
📍Attractions:
1.🏖Silver Beach: Suitable for watching the sunset, the sand is fine and soft, the beach is clean, barefoot walking is very comfortable, but there are more people.
2.🌳Mangrove: A good place for sea catching, our group's double sea catching package🐾, with tools, and a professional guide. Northerners say the experience is good. Caught a lot of sand worms, shells, clams, and small crabs. I recommend the mangroves here. ⚠️You must wear rain boots for sea catching, the road to the beach is far, you need to wade, it is difficult to wear slippers! There are motorcycles on the return journey, 30 yuan one way, driving a motorcycle in the water is very exciting, worth experiencing!
3.🌆Qiaogang Style Street: There are so many delicious foods! Xinji shrimp cake, Cup Cup Le, Mom's coconut chicken, Zao paste vinegar century-old traditional hot pot, Yeji Man, Harbor Bay sugar water... all are very good. After dinner, you can go to Qiaogang Beach for a walk and watch the sunset. There are few people, the sand is good, and the photos are beautiful.
4.📸Liuxia Village: A good place for photo check-in, a small town in the style of Hayao Miyazaki, with many star-like photo locations.
5.🌊Beihai Old Street: A street where you can see the sea, suitable for photo check-in. However, the street-side shops are average, and the food is still better in Qiaogang.
6.🌳Mangrove Ecotourism Scenic Area: 90 yuan for a ticket, including 25 yuan for a 10-kilometer ferry car fee. There are mangroves in the scenic area, and there is a small village at the end. The ticket is not worth it, not recommended🙅.
7.🏝Jintan: The sand is coarser and the color is darker, you can catch the sea. If you want to take pictures or experience beach walking, Silver Beach is more recommended.
⚠️Remember to check the weather before coming, bring summer and winter clothes, it is cooler in the morning and evening, and the weather on the beach is changeable.
I went to Beihai for a business trip and took some time to visit the old street. The old street was very hot and sun-dried during the day. It was not a general sun. I personally think that the old street is in the environment. You can walk around and take pictures of the riding building. There are some historical attractions to visit, but there are not many restaurants to choose from, some snack bars, Drink shops and places to eat seafood, because at that moment I took the time to order food, there was not much time to eat well, just wanted to eat a simple meal, it felt very difficult to find the place I liked.
Now people see the old street pattern formed around 1927, when the west wind gradually east, localized buildings mixed with Western architectural concepts, Chinese and Western combination, unique. Standing on the street and looking into the distance, the two or three-story brick and wood mixed riding building is high and low, mainly gray and white, there is not much cumbersome decoration and fine carving, the overall look bright and simple, for tourists, strange and with a little kindness
There is a deep historical precipitation, mainly in the south of the riding building, there are some Western-style buildings, now mainly local specialty shops, you can come and hang out when you have nothing to do, but there are many tourists on holidays, especially at night.
The century-old street in the North Sea is very long, shopping for a long time, the building of the house about 200 years of history, when the first sight was called Shengping Street, now the gate of the old street is also written, the architectural shape is the British, French, German and other countries of the consulate Western column influence. The old street has a strong commercial scope. It sells various Guangxi and Vietnamese specialties. The price is civilian. It is not as high as the price in other urban scenic spots. The bosses are more enthusiastic and can help mail it home after purchasing. The Li Aunt shrimp cake in the old street is delicious. There are many shrimps. Coconut Frozen is my favorite, $15. We came here to stay at the nearby Pearl Bay Seaview Hotel. I especially recommend this hotel. It is very convenient to walk to the old street and the beach. I like his sea view single room the most. The sea is very good. The room is large and the bed is very comfortable. The hotel has a butler service. It will give a lot of opinions to help us go out to play. The main price is cheap, this hotel is very cost-effective, recommend friends to stay.

In addition to this street, Beihai Old Street can also visit Impression 1876. Several major consulates are distributed near the old street. They are all free. It is closed from 12 noon to 2 pm. It’s not too far away, you don’t need to take a sightseeing bus, you can find it by following the navigation, there are signs on the road, and it’s a look at the city by the way. Beihai Old Street has a history of more than 100 years, is the general name of several streets, solemn and elegant old streets are such style, long alleys are so far-reaching, bluestone paved streets are so smooth. The corridors downstairs connect the neighbors, the shops and the streets, which cover the wind and rain and the sun. Time has sneaked away from here for hundreds of years, and the years and rain have worn down the old street. Left mottled walls, discolored glazed tiles, broken old brand signs and a clump of grass on the roof. The entire Beihai Old Street is full of vicissitudes of years. The bustling market can't block its old, old and even some dilapidated. That brick, that wall, that building are all the remains of heavy history, soaked in the dust of history and culture. Although they are old, they still have the style of the year. The main street is still crowded, continuing the prosperity of the past. Follow the old street to find the different styles of decoration and relief on the wall. From these 100 years of solidified on the wall, it seems to see the old street night lights and traffic.
