📍Authentic Existence · National Marine Park · Hebei Province’s First Coastal International Tourism Island · Located in the southeast of Tangshan City in Bohai Bay, it consists of three islands: Yue Island, Xiangyun Island, and Puti Island, covering a total area of about 127 square kilometers with a 58-kilometer coastline. It is not an artificial land reclamation or scenic construction but an ecological island destination built upon natural intertidal zones, ancient salt field relics, and century-old fishing village textures. Core resources: ✓ Genuine Sand and Sea: Yue Island’s beach is made of natural shell sand (containing ≥65% shell fragments, particle size 0.2–0.8mm), tested by the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences with a pH of 7.9–8.1 (neutral to slightly alkaline), free of heavy metal residues; ✓ Ancient Salt Field Remains: Xiangyun Island has 17 existing Qing Dynasty salt ponds, the oldest built in the 2nd year of Guangxu (1876), with brine concentration reaching 25.3°Bé (Baumé degree), still capable of crystallizing edible sea salt; ✓ Living Fishing Heritage: Puti Island fishermen still use the dual methods of “trawling + fixed nets” for fishing. The mantis shrimp (also called cicada shrimp) caught here has a muscle protein content of 21.6g/100g (national standard ≥18g) and is certified with a national geographical indication. Tangshan International Tourism Island is not a cluster of resort hotels but a “Bohai life sample” growing with the tides. Its core value lies in three layers of authenticity: ❶ Ecology as Pristine: Yue Island’s intertidal zone records 23 species of shellfish, 11 species of crabs, and 47 species of birds (including the nationally first-class protected black-billed gull), with a biodiversity index of 3.8 (China’s coastal wetland average is 2.1); ❷ Production as Daily Life: Xiangyun Island salt workers bring seawater into ponds every morning, evaporate it under the sun for seven days, crystallizing salt—each kilogram contains 127mg of natural minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium; ❸ Scene as Presence: Puti Island fishing port opens at 4:30 AM, fishermen unload mantis shrimp, whose shells shine blue-green and meat is firm and springy. On-site steaming takes only 3 minutes—this freshness cannot be replaced by time. ✅ Ticket Control|Includes Transportation/Guided Tour/Experience/Snack/Souvenirs 💰 Actual Total Cost: 495 RMB|Plus 5 RMB to exchange for a “Bohai Shell Sand Patterned Copper Bookmark” Transportation|Economical and Efficient (¥40) · Best option by bus (recommended): → From Tangshan city, take Tourist Line T1 (towards “Tangshan International Tourism Island”) → get off at the Inter-Island Hub Station (about 75 minutes, fare ¥15) → Transfer to the island loop bus (¥5 per ride): T1 → Yue Island (25 minutes) → Xiangyun Island (20 minutes) → Puti Island (15 minutes) ✅ Round-trip bus + loop ≈ ¥35 Self-driving alternative: About 110 km from city center, fuel cost ¥75 + toll ¥15 (Tangcao Expressway Nanbao exit) + parking ¥10 = ¥100; free ecological parking lots available on all three islands ✅ Total transportation cost: ¥35 (bus + loop) ✅ Note: If departing from Beijing, it is recommended to take the high-speed train to Tangshan Station (¥55) + T1 bus, total transport cost ¥70; from Shijiazhuang, take high-speed train to Tangshan (¥128) + T1 bus, total transport cost ¥143, still budget-friendly.

When the waves of Bohai Bay are frozen by the biting cold wind, Beidaihe reveals its most tranquil and artistic side. This is not a tropical island, but a northern winter coastline with a unique "ice sea" spectacle. Bring your children to experience a completely different seaside holiday. 🌊 "Ice Sea" Wonders and Safe Viewing Best viewing spots: · Pigeon Nest Park: The shallow beach here forms large areas of ice sheets and ice floes under low temperatures, layered like scattered diamonds on the sea under the golden sunrise. · Laohushi Seaside Park: Huge reefs repeatedly washed and frozen by seawater form spectacular ice stalactites, resembling monster fangs—truly breathtaking. Safety first: The ice's load-bearing capacity is unknown, absolutely no walking on the ice or ice floes. All viewing is done from safe areas on the shore. Make sure kids wear the most slip-resistant shoes. Fun activities: Slide on the frozen beach; search for shells and small stones trapped in the ice; use brought hot spring water to paint on the sand (freezes instantly). 🚴 Winter Coastal Leisure Route Cycling or walking: Follow the "Seaside Boardwalk" from Laohushi all the way to Pigeon Nest. Few people, peaceful, the sea breeze is biting but the air is fresh. Along the way, there are many European-style old buildings to talk about history. Indoor cultural stop: Beidaihe Qin Palace Ruins Museum, free and warm, systematically displays the history of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s eastern tour, a great educational stop. Must-do: At the "Postcards from Beidaihe" themed post office, write a postcard to your future self or friends and stamp it with the winter limited postmark. 🏘️ Recommended Winter Seaside Stays Beidaihe Arcadia Seaside Resort Hotel: Features a huge indoor hot spring water world and children's playground, the "ace" of winter family stays in Beidaihe. Outside is icy and snowy, inside is as warm as early summer. Beidaihe Anlan Hotel: Minimalist design, excellent location, only a 5-minute walk to the sea. Some rooms have sea-view balconies and attentive service. Beidaihe Guixu Huatang Homestay: Located in a quiet homestay neighborhood, converted from an old villa, with a sentimental owner. The common area has a fireplace and bookshelves, creating a warm, homey atmosphere. 🦀 Steamed Seafood and Heartwarming Dumplings Winter food highlight: Steamed seafood buffet! In a warm indoor setting, a pot of fresh mantis shrimp, sea crab, clams is instantly steamed by steam, preserving original flavor, kids love it. Recommended old restaurants like "Fisherman Seafood." Noodle dishes to warm the stomach: Spanish mackerel dumplings, sea intestine rice, local specialties that are delicious and hearty, quickly replenishing energy. Avoid pitfalls: Most seaside food stalls close in winter, choosing restaurants in the city or hotels is more reliable. 🧣 Windproof and Warm Dressing Guide Keywords: Windproof! Windproof! Windproof! The seaside cold wind is extremely penetrating. Professional windproof jackets, ear protectors, scarves, and gloves are more effective than thick sweaters. Layering rule: Inner layer quick-dry sweat-wicking, middle layer fleece for warmth, outer layer windproof and waterproof. Prepare a pair of waterproof and slip-resistant snow boots. Spare clothes: Bring an extra set of socks and underwear, as playing on ice can easily get wet. The winter sea sheds its noise, leaving only the sound of waves freezing and the wind’s song. It teaches children to appreciate the different forms of all things through the changing seasons with a proud kind of beauty.

When the northern sea breeze stirs up layers of snowy waves, Anaya, located on the golden coastline of Bohai Bay, welcomes the arrival of winter with a quiet and profound demeanor. Unlike the bustling crowds of summer, winter here sheds the noise, leaving only a dialogue between architecture, the sea, and the soul. As one of the few "culture + resort" coastal destinations in Hebei Province, Anaya reveals a uniquely poetic temperament in winter, making it an ideal place to escape the city and heal the heart. In winter, Anaya is sparsely populated, the beach covered with frost and snow, and the wooden boardwalk winding into the distance, ending at the famous Lonely Library. Opening the wooden door in the morning, the sea breeze rushes in, the sound of turning pages mingles with the tide, and sunlight streams through the glass onto the floor, as if time itself pauses. Not far away, the seaside church with its white spire pierces the gray-blue sky; snow falls on the roof, waves crash against the rocks, creating a sense of ceremony—an excellent spot for photography and meditation. Although temperatures often drop below zero, the experience here feels increasingly warm. You can join community-hosted winter art exhibitions, poetry readings, or craft workshops to feel the flow of cultural vibes; or visit the Dune Art Museum—this underground modern building appears even more tranquil in winter, where art and nature quietly blend amid shifting light and shadow. For those wanting to get close to nature, an afternoon coastal hike or bike ride is recommended. While the Bohai Sea in winter is not suitable for swimming, the sight of ice crystals floating on waves and seagulls circling is wild and beautiful. With some luck, you might even see thin ice forming on the distant sea surface, sparkling like shattered diamonds in the sunlight. Regarding accommodation, Anaya offers a variety of options from boutique guesthouses to high-end apartments, many with floor heating and floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to enjoy snow and sea views without stepping outside. The food is equally enticing: local seafood hotpot, charcoal-grilled oysters, and steaming mackerel dumplings are especially tempting in the crisp air. Warm tips: The park operates on a reservation system in winter, so please book your stay and visitor slots in advance through the official platform; the seaside is windy, so be sure to wear windproof jackets, scarves, and warm hats; this destination is perfect for travelers seeking tranquility and a love of artistic atmosphere, especially families or couples. Here, the sea never sleeps, and the soul awakens.

#September2025 On Tangshan's golden coastline lies a resort brimming with exotic charm and romance—the Zhongnan Lavina Scenic Area. With its azure waters, soft sandy beaches, and unique architecture, it feels like being transported to a Mediterranean island. The resort hotel, theme park, and food court within the scenic area offer a wide variety of leisure options. Enjoy sunbathing, a dip in the sea, or an evening stroll along the beach to admire the stunning sunset. This is not only a paradise for photography enthusiasts, but also an ideal place for couples and families to spend quality time together. Come here and immerse yourself in a blue dream.

Bodhi Island, embraced by the azure sea, resembles a serene floating green gem. Upon setting foot on the island, the salty sea breeze greets you, and the pristine white beaches contrast beautifully with the lush pine forests. The constant sound of waves along the shore and the circling seabirds create a natural retreat for the soul. Strolling along the wooden boardwalk, I gazed out from the Tide-Watching Pavilion at the boundless sea and sky. The sunset painted the ocean in golden hues, and the waves crashing against the rocks seemed like whispers from the sea. As night fell, the starry sky reflected on the water, evoking the tranquility of a Bodhi heart, making one forget the worldly clamor, leaving only the harmony of the sea breeze and the rhythm of one's heartbeat.

Tangshan Moon Island resembles a crescent moon floating on the lake, exuding poetic charm where water and sky merge. In the early morning, mist lingers, and the lake is so serene that only birdsong and gentle breezes can be heard. At dusk, as the sun sets, the glow of the sunset dyes the water red, and the island's trees and long bridges become silhouettes in the afterglow, like a moving painting. The lakeside trail winds along, lined with willows swaying gently, and occasionally, an egret glides by, causing ripples that shimmer with golden light. Climbing the observation tower, one can see the entire Moon Island resembling a full moon resting peacefully on the emerald waves, seamlessly blending urban scenery with nature. As night falls, scattered lights reflect on the lake, their reflections resembling stars that have fallen to earth. Here, one can find the romance of the city while allowing the soul to quietly settle amidst the moonlit waters.

#September2025 The Li Dazhao Memorial Hall in Leting County commemorates this pioneer of Chinese communism. The rustic, elegant building, constructed of grey bricks and gray tiles, houses a wealth of precious artifacts and historical photographs, detailing the years of his youth dedicated to the cause of national independence and progress. Walking through the exhibition halls, each scene, from his early years as a student to the turbulent revolutionary movement, is moving. His spirit of shouldering the burden of justice transcends time and inspires future generations. The evergreen pines and cypresses outside the window reflect Li Dazhao's enduring faith and original aspirations.

📍 Tsukishima, Tokyo I went to Tsukishima to try monjayaki. I didn't know how to make it let alone what it tasted like. I'm from Osaka so I tried monjayaki for the first time, so I'll introduce it to you. First of all, monjayaki is different from okonomiyaki, but.... It's really delicious😋lol I ordered the popular mochi cheese flavor! I learned how to make it by watching others. I had a hard time at first, but I managed to make monjayaki that didn't look very good but tasted great! It was fun to eat it bit by bit with a small spatula, and I finished it in no time. There are very few restaurants in Kansai where you can eat monjayaki, so if you go to Tokyo, be sure to try it🥢 #Tokyo #TokyoTourism #TokyoGourmet #Tsukishima #DomesticTravel #0YenTravelFebruary2025
