I visited Linhai in the off-season. Here are my real feelings.

🌊 When the cold wind plays the melody of winter, I pack my bags and head to the small coastal town of Linhai, to meet the sea in winter. In the off-season, this small town is less crowded, but it shows its purest beauty without reservation. 🌅 Two-day itinerary: Day 1: Seaside Walkway → Old Street → Night Market In the morning, take a walk on the winding Seaside Walkway in the morning light. On one side is the sparkling sea, with waves gently lapping against the rocks, playing the morning song of the sea 🎵; on the other side are the well-arranged green plants, which look more vigorous in winter. Stroll along the walkway and breathe in the slightly salty sea breeze. Every step is a pleasure. In the afternoon, visit the Old Street. The bluestone road and Ming and Qing buildings exude a simple and elegant charm in the warm sun. Walking through the street is like traveling back in time. When the lights come on, the night market is instantly lit up. There are all kinds of snacks and handicrafts. You can eat while shopping and feel the vitality of the city. Day 2: Sea View Park → Seafood Market → Beach In the morning, go to Sea View Park. The huge viewing platform is the best place to overlook the whole sea. The blue sea meets the blue sky, and the view is vast. At noon, go to the seafood market, where you can choose and cook fresh seafood to taste the most delicious seafood 😋. In the afternoon, go to the beach. The beach is less crowded in winter. The soft sand and the open sea are great for taking photos. 📷 Photo spots and tips: 📍Seaside Walkway: Use a low angle, with the waves and rocks in the foreground, and the person standing in the distance on the walkway, to capture the depth of the sea and the smallness of the person. The light is soft between 3 and 4 pm, and the warm yellow sunlight shines on you. Take a backlit photo, and even your hair will glow ✨. 📍Old Street: The old doors and windows and the lanterns on the street corners are natural props. Stand in front of the door or lean against the lanterns. The photos will look natural and atmospheric. Remember to turn on portrait mode to blur the background and highlight the subject. 📍Sea View Park: The silhouette effect is amazing at sunset! With the sunset glow in the background, the person poses as if looking into the distance. Focus on the sunset glow with your phone, and you can easily take a beautiful silhouette photo. 🚌 Transportation in the city: Most scenic spots are accessible by bus. You can pay electronically. The operating hours are mostly from 6:00 to 20:00. Pay attention to the time of the last bus. There are also sightseeing buses along the coast. The scenery along the way is beautiful. You can get on and off at any time. The day pass is a great deal 🎫. It is the first choice for roaming the coastline. If you want more freedom, taking a taxi is not expensive. It usually costs 10 to 20 yuan in the city. 🍤 Food recommendations: 🥘 Seafood noodles: The representative of fresh food! The handmade noodles are chewy, and the prawns, clams, squid, and other ingredients are cooked in one pot. The soup is rich and mellow. After eating a bowl, you will feel warm all over. 🦀 Steamed swimming crab: Local seasonal seafood. The simple steaming locks in the freshness. The crab meat is clear and distinct. Dip it in ginger vinegar, and the fresh and sweet taste will bloom on your tongue. 🌯 Seaweed cake: The crust is crispy, and the filling is soft and glutinous. The salty and sweet flavors of the seaweed are combined. Eat it while it is hot. It is crispy and fragrant. It is also a great gift. 🛏 Accommodation recommendations: 🏨 Seaview homestay: You can see the sea when you open the window and sleep with the sound of the waves. You will be woken up by the first ray of sunshine in the morning and fall asleep with the sound of the waves at night. I recommend [homestay name]. The rooms are warmly decorated, and there is a terrace by the sea. It is very romantic to watch the stars at night. 🏨 Old Street Inn: If you want to immerse yourself in the style of the ancient city, don't miss the inns on the Old Street. The wooden structure and carved doors and windows are antique. It is convenient to travel. There are all kinds of shops outside the door. The price is affordable. 💡 Travel tips: 🎈 It is windy by the sea in winter. Remember to bring a thick scarf and hat to keep warm. They can also be used as photo props. 🎈 Although seafood is delicious, if you have a weak stomach, prepare some medicine in advance to prevent discomfort. 🎈 Buy local specialties at the markets frequented by locals. The prices are reasonable, and the quality is guaranteed. This small coastal town is gentle in winter. Take a walk and discover and feel it 💕.
