Overseas Chinese Hong Kong Style Street can actually be called Overseas Chinese Harbor Style Alley, but this alley is packed with specialties from all over the world, such as Jiangsu Province's characteristic traditional famous "wheel cake", and I ❤️ to appreciate 👋🏻 craftsmanship of charcoal crispy grilled pickled meat cake. The North Sea is rich in coconuts, so many have coconuts to make different delicacies, one of which I personally think is more special coconut 🥥 coffee, we ordered an American coconut 🥥 coffee, maybe because the coffee is not enough, so there is no coffee flavor at all This is a bit disappointing! I have to introduce the fried shrimp 🦐 cake from the celebrity shop 'Sin Kee'. This shop is always lined up with a bunch of people waiting for this shrimp 🦐 cake! After dinner that night the return trip was about nine, since there were relatively few people so I decided to line up to try it! The queue lasted no more than 20 minutes, which is a bit of a gap! I think the stall on the right is better. Also to introduce a celebrity shop called 'Vietnam Little 㕑' mainly seafood, maybe the season so can not eat the local main seafood? The two of us ordered seven dishes, even if there is no season, we ordered one 🦞 about a pound (I am not big, I suggest ordering this dish) because 💰 is expensive! The final bill 💰400 (if no 🦞) only need 💰200. The second celebrity shop is a Vietnamese restaurant called 'Sai Kung'. We ordered five dishes each. Needless to say, except for the satay pot, we were satisfied! Final bill 💰165 #food #foodie #summerfood recommendations

Beihai, this southern coastal city blessed with turquoise seas and silver sands, boasts both the volcanic wonders of Weizhou Island and the lively charm of its old town alleys. As a seasoned Beihai travel expert, I will guide you through the four key aspects of eating, dressing, staying, and traveling to help you discover the best way to experience this seaside city! 🍤 Eating in Beihai: From Seafood Feasts to Sweet Treats A trip to Beihai is incomplete without tasting freshly caught and cooked seafood! I recommend visiting Qiaogang Style Street or Nanwan Seafood Market, where you can select live seafood and have it cooked at nearby stalls. Enjoy mantis shrimp, flower crabs, and grouper for about 80 RMB per person until you're full. Weizhou Island’s banana chicken and volcanic bananas are also uniquely flavorful; the free-range chicken fed on volcanic rock is firm, sweet, and juicy. Snack lovers must not miss the shrimp cakes and sweet soup shops on Beihai Old Street. The soft locust flower jelly and sweet coconut sago dessert cost about 5 RMB per person, perfect for cooling down and cleansing the palate! 👗 Dressing in Beihai: Light Travel and Sun Protection Essentials Beihai enjoys mild weather year-round. It’s best to wear cotton-linen short sleeves plus a sun-protective shirt, paired with wide-leg pants or long skirts—ideal for seaside photos and UV protection. When cycling on Weizhou Island, bring a sun hat and sunglasses, and avoid the intense midday sun in summer. In winter, mornings and evenings can be chilly, so pack a light jacket. 🏨 Staying in Beihai: Trendy Guesthouses and Convenient Transport In Beihai city, I recommend staying near Silver Beach or Qiaogang Style Street, where you can find sea view rooms and enjoy night visits to snack streets, with average prices between 200-400 RMB per night. On Weizhou Island, accommodations in Dishui Village or Shiluokou area are top picks for experiencing peaceful seaside guesthouses. Book at least one month in advance during peak season! Choose guesthouses that offer free pier pick-up and drop-off to save on transportation costs. 🚲 Traveling in Beihai: Complete Guide to Sea and Land Transport • Island Access: Take a ferry from Beihai International Passenger Port to Weizhou Island. Standard cabin tickets cost 150 RMB one way (book via the official "Lai You Ba" platform). A 98 RMB entrance ticket is required for the island, which includes access to the Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area. • On-Island Transport: Renting an electric scooter is the most convenient option, costing 60-80 RMB per day. It’s recommended to park outside scenic areas in free zones to save 5 RMB on parking fees. Suggested cycling route: Colorful Beach (sunrise) → Crocodile Mountain (volcanic rock) → Shiluokou (sunset). • City Transport: Beihai’s attractions are concentrated; taxis or shared electric scooters are sufficient. The airport is about a 30-minute drive to the city center. 🌟 Must-Do Experiences 1. Sunset at Silver Beach: Walk barefoot on the "flour-like sand" and feel the gentle embrace of the "world’s number one beach." 2. Volcanic Exploration on Weizhou Island: The black reefs and azure sea at Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area create stunning views. 3. Old Street Atmosphere: Enjoy sweet soups and handmade crafts under century-old arcade buildings, soaking in the Nanyang cultural vibe. 💡 Travel Tips • Weizhou Island ferry tickets are tight during peak season; book at least two weeks in advance. • Sunscreen and aloe vera gel are must-haves due to strong seaside UV rays! • Confirm seafood prices before processing to avoid disputes. Half of Beihai’s beauty lies in its turquoise waves and silver sands, the other half in its vibrant local life. Save this guide and embark on a journey that blends relaxation with excitement on this island getaway!🌊✨

1. Must-Eat Seafood: A Collision of Freshness and Authenticity 1. Steamed Grouper Recommended Reason: Beihai grouper has tender meat like chicken; steaming preserves its fresh flavor best, served with ginger and scallion dipping sauce for the original taste. Where to Eat: Waisha Seafood Island, Old Street "Lao Huo Ji Seafood Stall." Tip: Grouper is fattest in summer; recommend 1 jin per person, order according to the number of people to avoid waste. 2. Salt and Pepper Mantis Shrimp Special Way to Eat: The mantis shrimp is fried crispy and sprinkled with salt and pepper; the shell is chewable, and the shrimp meat is salty and springy. Hidden Spot: The night market stalls on Qiaogang Style Street are more down-to-earth, with prices 30% cheaper than tourist areas. 3. Sandworm Sashimi Freshness Guide: Sandworms look like intestines but have a crisp and tender texture; best served blanched or steamed with garlic, locals often pair it with rice wine. Recommended Place: Weizhou Island Nanwan Street seafood stalls, freshness guaranteed. 2. Street Snacks: A Feast of Carbs and Fire 1. Shrimp Cake Old Brand Recommendation: Beihai Old Street "Aunt Li’s Shrimp Cake Shop," frying over 200 jin daily, arrive early to queue. Photo Pose: The freshly fried shrimp cake is crispy outside and tender inside, paired with chili sauce; hold the cake up to the camera and take a bite for photos. 2. Crab Roe Rice Noodles Flavor Highlight: A Qiaogang exclusive dish, rice noodles coated with crab roe sauce, with tomato added for a sweet and sour taste that whets the appetite. Photo Prop: Ask the owner to add a spoonful of shiny crab paste; a top-down shot of the red and yellow soup is more tempting. 3. Stir-Fried Ice Magical Experience: Coconut or jackfruit flavored stir-fried ice is the most popular; ice cubes roll and form on the iron plate, melting instantly in the mouth. Recommended Pairing: Qiaogang "Youjian Ice Room" mango stir-fried ice, with so much fruit it overflows. 3. Specialty Soups: Warm and Refreshing 1. Seafood Congee Rich Ingredients: Shrimp, crab, shellfish simmered into a milky white congee base, rice grains soft and tender, incredibly fresh.

Lunch: Waisha Seafood Island to pick fresh seafood for cooking, about 80 yuan per person to eat to fullness. 3. Afternoon Tea: Qiaogang Style Street stir-fried ice + crab roe rice noodles. 4. Late Night Snack: Guizhou Road barbecue stalls, must-order garlic oysters + sandworm congee. 6. Pitfall Avoidance Guide 1. Seafood Overcharging: Clarify pricing method (by weight/by piece), recommend chain restaurants with clear pricing. 2. Sweet Soup Pitfalls: Avoid pre-made saccharin soups, look for freshly boiled "turtle jelly + milk" combos. 3. Stir-Fried Ice Tricks: Some vendors use saccharin; prioritize old brands with long queues. Beihai’s food is as straightforward and passionate as the sea breeze, from morning pig trotter rice noodles to late-night sandworm congee, every bite is a gift from the ocean. Remember to save some appetite for the nameless small stalls at the alleys of Old Street, where the most authentic Beihai flavors are hidden.

Azure Sea and Silver Beach: The Romantic Backdrop of the Beibu Gulf Beihai’s soul is the sea, its charm the sand—every inch of coastline flows with the languid poetry of the south. Silver Beach: “World’s Number One Beach”: A 24-kilometer stretch of silvery white sand, fine as powder, shimmering under the sun. Walk barefoot at dawn, watching shells and coral left behind by the retreating tide; ride a beach ATV at dusk chasing the sunset, experiencing the magnificent “tide retreat and rosy clouds” scene. Water Fun: Sailboats set out to sea, jet skis surf the waves, parasailing lifts you into the sky, or dive underwater to dance with tropical fish, experiencing the vitality of the “Eastern Hawaii.” Weizhou Island: Volcanic Island Wonder: China’s youngest volcanic island, with the Crocodile Mountain crater and the dripping red cliffs of Dishui Danping telling the epic story of crustal movements millions of years ago. Rent an electric scooter to circle the island, weaving through banana groves and coral stone houses, catching the sunrise at Five Color Beach and the sunset glow at Shiluokou. Nanwan Seafood Feast: In the evening, pick mantis shrimp, grouper, and flower crabs at Nanwan Seafood Market, find a street stall to cook them, enjoy the sea breeze with chilled beer, and savor the “taste of the sea.” Jinhai Bay Mangroves: A Secret Forest at Sea: 3,000 acres of lush mangroves, fiddler crabs scuttling on the mudflats, egrets skimming the water. Take a bamboo raft through the forest, watch the ecological scene of “setting sun and lone wild goose flying together,” and enjoy beachcombing—digging for sand worms, collecting shells, catching razor clams—harvesting the sea’s gifts. 2. Maritime Silk Road Legacy: Echoes of a Thousand-Year-Old Ancient Port Beihai was an important starting port of the ancient “Maritime Silk Road,” with merchant ships coming and going and camel bells ringing, leaving a cultural imprint blending East and West. Beihai Old Street: Arcade Style: Zhuhai Road’s century-old arcade street, with Baroque-style carvings, Roman columns, and Chinese window lattices intertwined, feels like stepping back to 19th-century Nanyang. Visit old pharmacies and souvenir shops, try Aunt Li’s shrimp cakes and Mingying rice rolls, and listen to elders tell the legend of “Pearls Returning to Hepu.” Artistic Stroll: Hidden deep in the old street are cafes, bookstores, and craft workshops. Send a postcard from the “Time Box” or take fresh photos in the Japanese-style courtyard of “Liuxiacun.” Hepu Han Dynasty Cultural Museum: Maritime Silk Road Treasure: Housing over 2,000 Han dynasty artifacts, including Persian pottery, Roman glass bowls, and lake-blue glass beads, witnessing Beihai’s glory as the “Eastern Great Port.” Touch the tangible evidence of the “Maritime Silk Road” and feel the grandeur of “ships crossing the sea, countless in number.” Waisha Island: Danjia Fishing Village: See the Danjia people living on boats and fishing for a living, visit the Danjia Wedding Museum, try weaving fishing nets and singing salty water songs. In the evening, go to Waisha Seafood Island, pick a seaside restaurant, order sand worm sashimi and boiled shrimp, watch fishing boats return to port as the lights gradually come on. 3. Taste of Beihai: A Fusion of Seafood and Nanyang Flavors Beihai cuisine is characterized by “freshness, sweetness, and wildness,” from live seafood to Nanyang snacks, every bite is a gift from the sea and a sediment of history. Must-Try Three Delicacies: Sand Worm: Beihai’s “seafood specialty,” garlic-steamed sand worm is crisp, tender, and sweet; sand worm porridge is smooth and warming, recommended by the documentary “A Bite of China.” Flower Crab: A Beibu Gulf specialty, steamed flower crab meat is plump, crab roe rich and creamy, eaten with ginger vinegar sauce to enjoy the original flavor. Vietnamese Rice Rolls: The signature of Qiaogang Style Street, rice batter steamed into sheets wrapped with pork, wood ear mushrooms, and shrimp, drizzled with sweet and sour sauce, a soul-stirring bite. Hidden Menu: Shuimiyi: A traditional Danjia snack, steamed rice batter layered cake topped with garlic oil and soy sauce, soft, glutinous, and savory. Sophora Flower Jelly: A summer cooling dessert made from sophora flower juice and rice batter strips, served with brown sugar water and ice cubes, sweet and refreshing. Salt and Pepper Mantis Shrimp: Crispy outside, tender inside, sweet shrimp meat, paired with beer is a staple of Beihai’s late-night snacks. 4. Four Seasons Activities: Unlocking Beihai’s Many Possibilities Spring · Wave Walking and Flower Viewing (March-May): Purple bauhinia blooms at Guantouling, sea-eroded cliffs and flower seas complement each other; rhododendrons bloom at Weizhou Island’s volcanic crater, hike the volcanic geological park.
