First-time tips for visiting Beihai

😭tip1. When you first arrive in Beihai, definitely do not take the unlicensed taxis outside the station, as you might get ripped off. 😭tip2. Never listen to the seafood restaurant recommendations from taxi drivers, Didi drivers, or tricycle drivers; there's a high chance of being overcharged. 😭tip3. To prevent seafood from being switched during processing: before weighing, poke a small hole in the bottom of the bag to drain excess water, then weigh. 😭tip4. If it's a cloudy or rainy day, the seaside is not much fun. It's recommended to visit Beihai Old Street or Overseas Chinese Style Street instead. 😭tip5. The scenic spots are close to each other, and the only way to travel is by bike. An electric bike costs 50/60 yuan per day, and if the price is higher, you're probably being overcharged. 😭tip6. Don't sit on the beach chairs next to the sand, as many of them charge a fee. Also, avoid eating seafood at the large stalls around Yintan; it's expensive, scarce, and not tasty. It's recommended to eat at Overseas Chinese Style Street, where the food is not only delicious but also affordable. 😭tip7. If you're visiting Beihai with family and children and are not familiar with the routes, it's suggested to join a local tour group. Accommodation, transportation, attraction tickets, and meals are all included, so you can just enjoy the trip!
