[2025 Shanwei Attraction] Travel Guide for Red Bay Tourist Area (Updated May)

During the days of traveling in Huizhou, I specially reserved one night for Shanwei. Although I stayed there for less than 24 hours, I gained the blue sea on sunny days, the dopamine fishing village on cloudy days, the seaside pier at sunset, and the night full of fireworks. I must stay in this small city for a few more days next time❗️. 🚗Two days and one night itinerary: Magong Beach ⇢ Jincheng Bay ⇢ Honghai Bay ⇢ Qingnong Bay ⇢ Ermalu. Because it was still sunny when I arrived at Magong at noon on the first day, and then it turned cloudy, the color of the sea was not so beautiful, so I gave up Windmill Island. Seaside cities are really dependent on the weather! 🌊Magong The color of the sea water on a sunny day is really beautiful! There are not many people here, and it's just on the way from Huizhou ⛪️Jincheng Bay The Sail Hall Cafe is very suitable for taking photos and checking in. The beach is also a sunset spot, but there are many people 🌈Red Sea Bay What attracts me more than the sea is the dopamine house in the Zhelang City God Temple, which is beautiful even on cloudy days! The low-saturation colorful graffiti is really healing. The popular 📍Sea Castle is also nearby. It looks more "lonely" on cloudy days. Also, don't go to the 📍Hou'ao Glass Sea if it's cloudy! Waste of time 🌄Qing Nong Bay Not only Kanamachi Bay, this is also a treasure sunset spot! You can book the whole place to take pictures of the sunset! If you don't drive yourself, you can take a boat to and from 📍Zhongshan Ferry 🏘️Ermalu Food Street It is recommended to stay here at night. There are many delicious foods to choose from. You can take a walk to the beach early the next morning. The sea and buildings accompanied by the golden light of sunrise are super beautiful!

Traveling with a group, we rented a car on the second day, and took taxis the rest of the time. We ate at places recommended by local friends, which were pretty good. You can use this as a reference. 1️⃣ Day 1 Morning • Arrive at Shanwei Railway Station at 11:30 am, then take a taxi to a restaurant near the station for lunch. The ride takes about 10 mins and costs about CNY 12.

The ride takes about 25 mins. After arriving, take a short break. • At around 3 pm, leave the villa and walk to the beach to watch the sunset. Jinting Bay Wedding Chapel, Whale Bay Town Amusement Park Evening • After watching the sunset, take a taxi to Yuxing Restaurant for a seafood dinner. Yuxing Restaurant (No. 260, Damalu, Chengqu) • After dinner, head to Erma Road for some snacks. Here are some snack recommendations: No. 368, Erma Road, Chengqu, Shanwei City, Guangdong Province, near Shanzhong Road, Thin Pancakes (Cabbage Thin Pancakes) This thin pancake shop is popular among Cantonese people, and everyone speaks Cantonese here, haha. No. 338, Basement 2, Commercial Building, Erma Road, Chengqu, Shanwei City, Guangdong Province, Baomu Rice Noodles Hao Yun Pickled Food, Cup Cup Fresh (various fruits + Yakult) Tsingtao Beer (sea salt lychee flavor is delicious 👍) After buying snacks, take a taxi back to the villa to rest. 2️⃣ Day 2 • Rent a car for a trip to Red Bay! Depart at 10 am, head to Windmill Island Shallow Water Bay at 11 am ➡️ Arrive at Furi Bay at 11:30 am, have coffee at LOOKINGLOAT ➡️ Arrive at Furi at 12 pm ➡️ Arrive at the Sea Highway at 12:30 pm ➡️ Arrive at Hou'ao Glass Sea at 1 pm ➡️ Arrive at Shuiguiliao Market Snack Street at 1:30 pm ➡️ Arrive at the Sea Castle at 3:30 pm ➡️ Arrive at the Sea Guanyin at 4 pm ➡️ Arrive at Zhelang Wonder Area at 4:30 pm ➡️ Arrive at the seaside road to watch the sunset at 5:30 pm ➡️ Arrive at Erma Road for seafood porridge at 6:30 pm, then stroll along Erma Road for snacks, drinks (Cup Cup Fresh), and fruits ➡️ Return to the villa to rest at 7:40 pm (the villa has karaoke, arcade games, billiards, board games, and alcohol). I sang karaoke for 4 hours by myself, haha. 3️⃣ Day 3 Morning • We originally planned to go to Tongding Mountain, but later changed to a walk along the beach near Jinting Bay. We rented a bike and rode along the beach, which was very relaxing! That's right, we went to Cup Cup Fresh again, haha. Noon • Take a taxi to Gangji Food Stall for our last seafood feast in Shanwei. Gangji Food Stall (No. 126, Erma Road, Chengqu) After eating, we bought some local specialties nearby. • Take a taxi to the railway station at around 2 pm, and return at around 4 pm. ☁️ Weather The temperature at the beach in January is over 20°C. The first day was sunny, so it was warm. The second day was spent at the beach, and the sea breeze was strong, so I recommend wearing a jacket and pants. I wore a dress and was freezing, haha (I was willing to suffer for the photos!)

There are a few black reefs dotted in it, the waves of the ripples are gently rubbed, and occasionally white waves are splashed.

📍Address: #ShanweiRedSeaBay 💰Average consumption: 50-100 If you come to Shanwei, you must visit Red Sea Bay Zhelang is a town closest to the sea. When you come here, you must eat seafood because it is the freshest. Also, you must go to the Shuguiliao Market between 10am and 11am. There are many local snacks in this market. If you want to eat everything, it is recommended to buy half a portion, otherwise you will be too full. Many hotels in Zhelang are not expensive. You can search on trip to find the hotel you like. My suggestions are Vienna (good value for money)/Prince Grand Hyatt Hotel (great sea view but a bit expensive). Everyone has their own preferences. I have only stayed in these two rooms.
