    Beihai trip, a date with the sea Recently I just came back from a trip to Beihai, I can't wait to share this unforgettable experience with you. Silver Beach is really amazing, worthy of the reputation of "the first beach in the world". The sand is as delicate as flour, stepping on it barefoot, and the soft touch comes from the soles of the feet, which is extremely pleasant. In the evening, the sunset is spilled on the beach, and the whole world is dyed warm orange, and the atmosphere is a blockbuster. Here, you can enjoy the sun beach and waves, relaxing. Qiaogang style street is full of fireworks, is a paradise for food lovers. As soon as you enter here, the aroma of various foods will come out. Vietnam rolls, crab noodles, roasted oysters...everything is mouth-watering. At night, the Qiaogang style street, neon lights flashing, lively, while eating food, while feeling this lively atmosphere, happiness is bursting. Weizhou Island is a highlight of the trip to the North Sea. As the largest dead volcano island in China, the island's scenery and unique volcanic geological landscape are amazing. The volcanic rocks in the Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park are strange and strange, as if they are carefully carved artworks by nature. The sea erosion landform of the dripping Danping is beautiful, and at sunset, the embers spill on the sea, sparkling, and beautiful. Beihai Old Street is full of historical charm, built in 1883, the street is a unique Chinese and Western combination of riding buildings, strolling in it, as if crossing back to the past, can feel the prosperity of Beihai once. Today, it is also a lively commercial street where you can enjoy the old buildings, taste local cuisine and buy special souvenirs. However, the North Sea has some minor drawbacks. For example, some attractions are more commercialized, like Qiaogang Style Street, although there are many foods, but some net red shops are not cost-effective. There is also the climate of the North Sea. The summer is long and hot. It belongs to the kind of hot and sultry. It is easy to sticky on the body. It is occasionally cold in winter, and there is no heating. The room is wet and cold. In addition, there are relatively many mosquitoes in the North Sea. You must take anti-mosquito measures to play. Overall, Beihai is a very worthwhile tourist attraction. There are beautiful sea views, rich cuisine and unique human landscape. If you also like the sea, yearning for a leisurely seaside life, then the North Sea will not let you down, pack your bags, come to a romantic encounter with the North Sea!

    Beihai Underwater World: A fantasy journey into deep blue The Beihai Underwater World is like putting the blue of the entire Beibu Gulf into a glass dome, and from the moment you step into the venue, you will start a wonderful adventure across the tropics and polar regions, connecting the sea and the deep sea. First burst into the view is the "rainforest wonder", the waterfall pouring down the fake mountain, the macaw jumping between the vines, the giant bone tongue fish slowly swimming in the transparent tunnel, the wet water mist filled with the original atmosphere of Amazon, people delusion is in the jungle secret. The most shocking is the "undersea tunnel", the 180-degree curved glass presses the deep sea into a giant curtain - nurse sharks lazily lie on the sand, devil fish slide overhead like ghosts, and swarms of salmon form a silver-blue storm, reflecting metal luster in the light. When divers entered the exhibition area carrying oxygen cylinders, they were instantly surrounded by fish, their fish food led the lemon shark to swing its tail, and the salmon spread its wings over their shoulders, as if playing a deep-sea version of Swan Lake. The "Shark Pier" at the end of the tunnel is the most tension, the bull shark cruises in the transparent exhibition tank, the sharp teeth and the cold eyes across the glass still make people shudder, the bottom of the shipwreck, hidden a few bronze green ancient coins, as if telling the legend of the treasure of the seabed. The second layer of the "polar world" is another dimension: the penguin family staggers on the artificial snow, Papuan penguins jump into the water, and the streamlined body draws a beautiful arc in the water; The Arctic wolf paced on the simulated ice sheet, the children outside the glass affixed to the fence, ha gas condensed into white mist on the glass.

    Beihai Old Street: Riding downstairs Nanyang Old Street is a long Nanyang roll that is tasted by time. The century-old riding building stretches folds in the daylight of Beihai. Every blue brick is soaked in the salty sea breeze. Every carved window hides the old dream of the commercial port. From the intersection of Zhuhai Road and Sichuan Road, the two-meter-wide riding corridor immediately blocked the heat behind, the mashi road at the foot was polished by the years, and the moss growing in the gap was the gentlest footnote in a hundred years. The buildings on both sides of the street were mostly built in the late 19th century. The style of Chinese and Western styles collided with unique aesthetics: Baroque mountain flower walls were topped by Chinese slope roofs, Roman columns stood side by side with carved birds, and gray-plastic reliefs on the door lints. Bats were carrying copper money and peony wrapped in gourds. The auspicious meaning of Lingnan is symbiotic with the grass-rolled grain of the Western Ocean on the same wall. The best thing is the old site of the "double well". The two centuries-old wells are still clear. The rope marks on the well rail are as deep as an inch. It seems that you can still see the bamboo rafts of the grandmother riding downstairs. The shops along the street are filled with fireworks and literature. The oil pot of the old-fashioned "Li Aunt Shrimp Cake" is always ringing. The golden shrimp cake is wrapped in fresh sea shrimp and onion. When it is bitten, it is a sound. The secret sour and sweet sauce is the most authentic Beihai taste. In the glass jar of "old alley sugar water shop", the pollen, peach gum, the seabed coconut piled into hills, plus a spoonful of broken ice, the heat turned clean in the sweetness. Around the corner, I met the craftsman selling shell carvings, the snail shell turned into a sparkling sea in his hand, and the mother-of-pearl-shell-inlaid fishing boat was about to enter the dusk, so that the time in the old alley could be slow to see the wood chips fall. The evening riding is the most charming, the sunset is plated with gold edges for the carvings of the riding, the fishing boats returning to the port unloading goods in the distant dock, the salty sea breeze mixed with the sweet fragrance of bougainvillea. The old people sat on the bamboo chairs and shook the fan, chatting in vernacular about the story of "hai fishing porcelain"; The young girl took pictures downstairs in her cheongsam, and the sound of her skirt skimming the masonry road was the same as the lady 100 years ago. When the gas light of the arcade turned on the first time, in the warm yellow halo, the aroma of shrimp cakes, the shallow singing of salt water songs, and the low groaning of the tide, weaved a living "Old Shadow Map of the Beihai" together. This old street is not only a museum of architecture, but also a living container of Nanyang style. It has witnessed the establishment of the British, French and German consulates, witnessed the grand scene of the merchant Jia, and also settled the fireworks of the fishermen and the ink marks of the literati in the years. Today, it shelters passers-by with the shade of the riding building, and stands with the old-fashioned adhering to the fast food era. When you stop in front of a carved wooden door, you may hear the sound of horseshoes a hundred years ago, mixed with the waves, stepping from the depths of time.
