When you go to Shantou‼️ Don't miss this seaside Anaya🌊 This seaside hall located at 23 degrees north latitude in Shantou is truly beautiful! It's called the Shantou version of Anaya. 📍: China Overseas Golden Coast Life Art Museum (N23 Star House) The white minimalist sail shape creates a great photo atmosphere. When the weather is good, the sea looks like jelly. Walking on the beach, every step is a new scene, and every photo turns out great. The large round mirror I brought was very useful; photos taken through the mirror are amazing. There are other play facilities by the sea, such as swings and slides🛝. You can have fun playing while taking photos. While others are enjoying autumn, I’m spending summer in Shantou. 🎫 Tickets: 🆓 Free ⏰ Hours: 10:00-18:00 📅 Reservation: Must book in advance on the Mini Orange app (limited spots daily)

The off-season in Anaya is truly an ideal place Take photos, go for walks, feed seagulls, drink coffee Just like that, heal and comfort yourself alone Outfit suggestion: Red tones + brown tones Recommended props: Matching gloves 🧤 / scarf 🧣 Photo | Travel tips: 1️⃣ Recommended photo spots: Auditorium | Lonely Library | Xiaoye | Swing 2️⃣ Suggested itinerary: Auditorium - Lonely Library - Xiaoye - Swing Photography 📷 Haha (Fujifilm female photographer)

So close, so beautiful!! Weekend trip to Hebei~~ This stop brought me to Rushi Sea, perfect for winter leisure vacations. Watched a seagull🕊️ sunrise with an orange-scented sea without having to wake up early, Visited the indoor heated water park💧 to enjoy water fun freedom in winter, Took cinematic stylish photos at the hundred-meter-long red iron bridge🌉, Celebrated an early Christmas wrapped in festive Christmas🎄 atmosphere, Especially love this place for being: off the beaten path, less crowded, and peaceful!! 🎡｜Activities & Photography ✅ Red Bridge Pier A landmark building, the hundred-meter-long red iron bridge stretches out to the sea, very romantic💕~ At the end of the iron bridge is the Blue Planet and lighthouse, every shot📸 looks like a movie scene. Around 5 PM the bridge lights up💡, so if you want photos, definitely wait until the lights are on!! ✅ Seagull Sunrise A winter-exclusive romance, the scene of seagulls🕊️ flying over the orange-scented sea is stunning!! Bring some stylish bottles⚱️ or props to place on the beach to greatly enhance the atmosphere, every snap is amazing!! Sunrise🌅 is just after 7 AM, recommended to arrive around 6:40 AM~ ✅ Christmas Decorations Christmas month🎄 limited scenery, the whole park is full of Christmas atmosphere, with many Christmas decorations at the pier, restaurants, hotels, etc. Especially near the pier, there is a huge Christmas tree🌲 that lights up half the beach at night, maximizing the festive vibe!! It’s said there will be a grand lighting💡 ceremony on 12.26, so don’t miss it if you want to celebrate Christmas~ ✅ Rushi Water Park Heated indoor water park with various water play facilities and a large pool, you can still enjoy water fun💧 in winter. Families with kids must come here, it’s designed for easy and relaxed parenting👶🏻 without tiring mom and dad~ ✅ Indigo Hotel The hotel’s public areas are free🆓 and open, including a book bar, gym, and you can book sound bowl yoga sessions~~ Recently, you can also catch the carefully arranged Christmas decorations, especially the beautiful Christmas tree in the lobby, perfect for check-in photos~ 🔔｜Tips for Visiting ① Recommend staying in hotels or apartments inside the park for free🆓 park access and free🅿️ parking ② For driving, navigate to “Rushi Reception Hall.” For high-speed rail, get off at Beidaihe Station, not Qinhuangdao Station. Taxi🚕 takes about 30 minutes ③ Apartments are better for families, offering more space and closer to the sea. Also saw a luxury seaside family hotel opening soon, a great choice for next year’s visit ④ For meals🍱, try Rushi Restaurant or Town Restaurant. Rushi Restaurant offers hot pot and buffet breakfast, Town Restaurant is a self-service cafeteria ⑤ Don’t forget swimwear and swim caps for the water park, and bring⭕ float rings if you have kids

On the 8th stop of my gap year after quitting my job, I dived into Anaya. The orange sea in the early morning glows softly, the white walls of the chapel reflect the shimmering waves, and every frame is so healing it feels divine. I've put together a super practical guide to help you avoid all the pitfalls and just immerse yourself in romance～ 🌊 Must-try experiences｜3 core romantic spots + 2 hidden gems 🔥 Core check-ins (100% photo-worthy) 1. Anaya Chapel: Catch a sunrise to feel divine! Around 7 AM in winter and around 5 AM in summer, arrive at the beach half an hour early to secure your spot. When the morning light spills over the white walls, the orange sea paired with minimalist architecture looks like a movie frame straight out of the camera. Entry requires booking on the official app by 9:30 AM one day in advance. 2. Lonely Library: A gray building by the sea, open the door and you hear the waves. Spend your afternoon sitting by the window reading or daydreaming, wrapped in the gentle sea breeze with a full atmosphere. Booking via the app is also required and can be done together with the chapel. 3. UCCA Dune Art Museum: An art space hidden in the dunes, with curved walls filtering mottled light and shadow. The exhibitions inside are niche and tasteful, and the clean lines of the dunes outside make for stunning architectural shots. The combined ticket including the art center costs 200 RMB per person and grants direct access to the park. ✨ Hidden experiences (locals’ secret spots) 1. North Shore’s lesser-known corners: Avoid the crowds on the South Shore and have coffee at Sadness on the North Shore, where the floor-to-ceiling windows overlook a tranquil coastline; at the rocky beach outside the Jump Sea small eatery, you can shoot the golden sunset in the evening with few people and pure scenery. 2. Community canteens for fresh tastes: More affordable and authentic than trendy spots, among the 8 canteens, numbers 3 and 5 have the best flavors. For about 50 RMB per person, you can eat until full with seafood noodles and homestyle stir-fries that are super flavorful. Only guests staying in the park can enter, making it a great value. 🚫 Pitfall avoidance guide｜Don’t fall for these traps 1. Don’t trust scalpers! There are only 3 official ways to enter the park: booking free tickets for the chapel/library via the app, buying the art exhibition combo ticket, or booking accommodation in the park. Scalpers charge premiums and can lead to trouble. Free tickets only allow access to core attractions, no shuttle bus or canteen access. 2. Don’t rush your itinerary! Anaya is best enjoyed at a slow pace. The South Shore is commercial and crowded with trendy shops, while the North Shore is fresh and quiet with many new stores. Two days is just right. The shuttle bus costs 2 RMB per trip, runs every 10 minutes, so no need to rush. 3. Don’t force photos! The doghouse and North Shore chapel require advance booking. The seaside swing is next to the Wild Sculpture, with soft afternoon light perfect for photos without backlighting. No need to crowd early in the morning for chapel spots. 📝 Complete travel tips｜Transport + Accommodation + Food 🚗 Transport guide - Arrival: Prioritize Changli High-Speed Rail Station, a 30 RMB/30-minute taxi ride to the park, close and cost-effective; Beidaihe Station costs 70 RMB/40 minutes, Qinhuangdao Station 130 RMB/1 hour, choose as needed. - Park transport: Free shuttle buses are super convenient, with staff at each stop to guide you. Just ask where to go, no worries about getting lost. To cross between South and North Shores, take the shuttle bus, very cost-effective. 🏠 Accommodation options - Budget-friendly: Anlan, Yinlu, Tangshe offer good value, close to attractions, convenient travel; solo travelers can stay at Ideal Country Hostel, affordable and comfortable. - High-end indulgence: Eoso Yun Song, Suka, Yi HOTEL offer top-notch environments, some rooms with sea views, perfect for watching sunrises, great if your budget allows. 🍜 Food recommendations - Trendy spots: Northwest cuisine where the Yellow River meets the sea, and desserts from Butter & Bread, tasty and great for check-ins and photos. - Hidden gems: Shanchi’s cold brew coffee is rich, and the light meals near the Jiuyi souvenir center are both beautiful and delicious, perfect for a break after exploring. 📅 Precise 2-day 1-night itinerary - Day 1: Check into hotel → North Shore Chapel → Coffee at Sadness → Explore and shoot at Jiuyi Souvenir Center → Light meal at Shanchi → Watch sunset at Jump Sea rocky beach → Return to accommodation to rest - Day 2: Sunrise at Anaya Chapel → Daydream at Lonely Library → Photos at Wild Sculpture + seaside swing → Explore and shoot at Bacchus Theater → Visit UCCA Dune Art Museum → Check-in at Doghouse → Return trip Romance in Anaya is hidden in every breeze from the sea.

December in Anaya locks in romance! Thousands of moon lamps hang in the streets, filling the Christmas atmosphere to the max.

The Guardian Light Box next to the one-way space is perfect for artistic silhouettes. The Light Mirror at the Children’s Farm combined with snow effects creates a snowy fantasy; Classic Coast trio: Book Anaya Auditorium and Lonely Library in advance via the APP.

The lighting ceremony is very crowded; arrive 1 hour early to secure a spot. Watch out for elderly and children, and avoid losing personal belongings; 2. The three dining halls are packed after the ceremony; it’s recommended to order takeout off-peak back to the guesthouse or dine off-peak in Phase 9 Joy Town; 3. Wear light-colored sweaters + thick coats, paired with scarves and gloves for warmth and great photos. Don’t forget your heat packs; 4. Drones without prior approval are banned in the park and will be countered if used. Use your phone or camera for photos; 5. Family activities (Christmas wreath DIY, picture book reading) require advance booking on the official APP to avoid disappointment.

Anaya in the off-season is still stunningly beautiful, without the crowded noise, only the comfort of vacation~ Here, I stayed at a newly opened hotel that I personally consider No.1 🥹 Highly recommend to you all. . 📍 Location: Anaya Park Phase 10 🚗 Transportation: 3 hours from Beijing, self-driving with private parking and charging stations, 5 minutes walk to Phase 9, the hotel also has a shuttle bus, very convenient. . 🏨 The space order of Anaya NOA RESORT is very well done. As soon as you enter the hotel, you can see the dynamic ripples on the sky screen + stone pillars on both sides + the minimalist design of the stairs, very modern. The overall vibe is "urban vacation + body and mind healing," not noisy, not pretentious, just comfortably right~ . 🛏️ The room features a gray modern style + metallic ceiling, like sleeping on the deck of Noah’s Ark 🚢. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window are greenery and the pool. The bathroom is divided into three zones, with a smart toilet + extra-large bathtub. The nighttime lighting is full of atmosphere. . 🛎️ The hotel has a pool on the first floor, very few people in the off-season, the water is very clean, and there is a resting area and a walkway. On one side of the lobby, there is also a bar and DECK deck coffee, very pleasant for coffee or a nightcap. . 🧘 What stands out is its newly launched lifestyle IP, offering meditation, singing bowls, yoga, exercise, music, and other body and mind healing activities. I have to say, the fragrance is amazingly pleasant~ . 【Nearby Attractions】 ✔️ Anaya Auditorium/Lonely Library: 10 minutes by shuttle, super romantic for watching the sunrise ✔️ Saint Blue Ocean Park: 800 meters away, great for family trips, you can see marine life and exciting performances ✔️ Phase 10 Beach: 5 minutes by car, few people and peaceful, very pleasant for wading and strolling~

After being popular for so many years, I finally visited Aranya during the off-season. I now understand the saying that you either visit Aranya 0 times or countless times. The park is clean and tidy, shuttle buses can take you anywhere, the beach is fine and soft, the architecture is exquisite and well-designed, and even the bare ginkgo trees have a unique beauty. Every shot from any angle turns out great. Transportation: It's closest to Changli Station, but we didn't do our homework. When we arrived, we got off at Qinhuangdao Station and first went to Marriott, which was a long way, about 100 yuan by taxi. On the way back, we bought tickets for Beidaihe Station. There's a shuttle bus at the entrance of Suka, 25 yuan/person. For two people, it's probably similar to taking a taxi. From the park entrance, take the hotel's free electric shuttle bus. To go to Phase 9, you need to take a bus. Accommodation: We stayed at Yinlu because we liked the private hot spring. Actually, after experiencing Marriott's window-side bath, I found Yinlu to be just average, with no view in the bathroom. But they provided a lot of complimentary snacks and drinks, and the peanut milk was also delicious! If you prioritize convenient transportation, I'd still recommend Suka, as the beach is right downstairs. Food: The canteen and some restaurants are closed during non-meal times, which isn't very friendly for late sleepers. We ate at Pangmei and the Seafood Market. The Seafood Market is highly recommended; the BBQ is super delicious, and the seafood is fresh. Activities: As a "P-person" (someone who plans last minute), I couldn't book any art museum visits. The only one I booked, the Lonely Library for Monday morning, I missed because I didn't wake up. But! The east-facing rooms at Yinlu, which is not beachfront, offer sunrise views! The large floor-to-ceiling windows are truly amazing.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced the horizon, the entire sea was filled with golden strong wine. I stood in the shadow of the chapel and drank it all at once. Nothing is more romantic than being intoxicated by a sunrise. No need for a glass; the morning breeze and daylight are the best brew. The soul sways tipsily ahead of the body. Watching the light gradually dye the beach and waves, as if last night's loneliness evaporated and ascended. This pure, indisputable beauty is the most generous intoxication life can offer us.

A top choice for a perfect holiday! Check in at the newly opened Anaya Hidden Retreat Hotel✨, a great place to relax and heal. Even on rainy days, staying in the hotel and daydreaming is super cozy~ This new hotel, located in Phase 8 of the Golden Coast Anaya Community, is absolutely amazing! Although it's away from the main park area, there is a free shuttle service available on demand🚐, so you don’t have to worry about getting around. I especially love their Japanese wabi-sabi design style—simple yet sophisticated, every casual shot looks like a masterpiece📸

The hidden Anaya in Zhuhai! I won’t allow you to miss it. In Zhuhai, the sea breeze is sweet, the white walls are pure, and the light and shadows are healing. This is not a lonely hall in the north, but the "Little Santorini" of the Pearl River Delta, hiding a pure white secret embraced by the blue sea. Get ready to embark on this romantic escape right at your doorstep. Must-visit spots 1. White building complex and a budget-friendly version of the Lonely Library - Why go: No need to fly to Hebei, you can encounter the same "Anaya-style" aesthetics right in Zhuhai. A cluster of pure white buildings stretches along the coastline, with clean yet gentle lines, naturally filter-like. - The seaside "Lonely Library" replicates minimalist design essence, with huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows framing the entire sea like a dynamic oil painting. Sitting inside reading a book, even time slows down. - Photo tip: Shoot the building’s light and shadow before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. when the sunlight is slanting; stand at the library entrance with the sea horizon as the background, turn your body sideways and look back for a full atmosphere shot. 2. Seaside chapel and windmill lawn - Why go: This "little chapel" is small but holds ultimate romance. The pointed roof design paired with pure white walls contrasts sharply with the distant blue sea, every shot looks like a magazine cover. - The windmill lawn next to the chapel is a hidden gem, with white windmills spinning in the sea breeze against the green lawn, like stepping into a Nordic fairy tale, perfect for kids to run and play. - Photo tip: Wear a solid color long dress standing on the chapel steps, let the sea breeze lift your skirt; on the lawn, use the windmills as background and shoot from a low angle to capture layers of sky, windmills, and grass. 3. Coastal boardwalk and sunset viewing spot - Why go: After touring the white building complex, be sure to stroll along the coastal boardwalk. Soft sand underfoot, waves rolling beside you, and fishing boats returning in the distance—pure healing. - The sunset here is known as "Zhuhai’s little Kamakura," with the sky dyed in orange-pink gradients, the sea sparkling, and even the air carrying a gentle scent. - Photo tip: Arrive at the boardwalk an hour before sunset, use portrait mode on your phone, have your companion walk ahead, and capture their back with the sunset; or crouch on the sand to shoot the waves and sunset reflections. Food recommendations - Seafood stalls: Since you’re by the sea, don’t miss the freshest seafood. Nearby local stalls serve steamed grouper and garlic vermicelli steamed scallops, fresh and juicy with great value. - Coconut jelly and seaweed jelly: Classic seaside cool snacks! Freshly opened coconut jelly with milky aroma paired with chewy seaweed jelly, one bite dispels all heat. - Cantonese dim sum: Not in the mood for seafood? Nearby tea restaurants are worth trying. Shrimp dumplings, siu mai, custard buns paired with a pot of Pu’er tea, enjoy the slow-paced Cantonese leisure. Transportation tips - This "Little Anaya" is located in Zhuhai’s Jinwan District, about a 1-hour drive from downtown, with ample and convenient parking. - Public transport: Take the metro to Jinwan Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride to the spot, enjoying seaside road views along the way. Outfit suggestions - Wear light colors like white, beige, or light blue to echo the pure white buildings and blue sea, making photos look clean and sophisticated. - Bring a straw hat, rattan bag, and sunglasses—not only sun protection but also props to enhance the vibe in photos.
