Aranya 48-hour Travel Guide

✅【How to Get There】 📍: Aranya Gold Coast Community 🚄: 40 mins from Beidaihe Railway Station, 30 mins from Changli Railway Station ✅【How to Enter】 ✔️Book a hotel or homestay in the community (recommended for sunrise) ✔️Book the Lonely Library 🆓 or Art Center/Dune Art Museum 🎫100 in advance ✅【About Booking】 ✔️Download the "Aranya" app. After entering the park, this will be your pass 🪪. It will be activated after check-in and is required for dining, accommodation, and transportation. You can also use it to book venues such as the chapel. ✔️If you have accommodation, you can start booking after checking in. Tickets are usually sufficient. ✔️Visitors can book the Lonely Library (dining at the canteen is not allowed) at 9:30 am the day before, or book tickets for the Art Center/Dune Art Museum 🎫 at 7:30 pm the day before (dining at the canteen is allowed). ✅【Where to Stay】 It is recommended to stay in the community, especially in the off-season in winter, as it is very cost-effective. It is also recommended to choose a hotel with a 24-hour shuttle bus, as the park's shuttle bus is not in service at sunrise. For example, the Hidden Hotel not only has a 24-hour shuttle bus, but also a hot tub in the room! A warm bath in the room in winter is very comfortable. I also like their flower arrangement and meditation healing classes. I made a dried flower photo frame and took it to the beach for photos. The atmosphere was amazing! ✅【Where to Eat】 Aranya has 9 canteens, with an average price of 50 per person. There are various cuisines, and the main focus is convenience. There are also many restaurants in the neighborhood to choose from. ✅【What to Do】 Aranya is usually a 2-day, 1-night trip, but you can stay longer for a vacation. ✔️Day 1: North District Lighthouse Park → North Coast Chapel → Beach Market ✔️Day 2: South District Sunrise → Lonely Library → Chapel → Coastline (seagulls, swings) → ☕️ → Dionysus Theater → Dune Art Museum → Seaside Concert Hall → Kennel 📷【Best Photo Spots】 1⃝Chapel: Usually empty at 8 am, beautiful scenery before sunrise and during blue hour 2⃝Lonely Library: Good lighting for frame shots after sunrise 3⃝Beach: Seagulls and swings along the road from the chapel to the Seaside Concert Hall 4⃝Seaside Concert Hall: The red house and food truck are very photogenic. Don't miss the white lifeguard chair on the beach behind it. Tagi is also here. 5⃝Kennel: Go after 3 pm for better lighting 6⃝☕️ Shop: The glass window overlooking the sea has a great atmosphere 🌟【Notes】 ✔️Many shops are closed in the off-season in winter, and there are not many people on the street. It may feel a bit deserted at times, which is not suitable for playing, but it is great for taking photos. ✔️Make sure to keep warm and windproof. I didn't bring gloves and my hands were swollen from the cold. The sea breeze is really strong, especially when there is a strong wind 💨 forecast.
