#100waysoftravel Who knows! Every moment that time, I cried so much! Aranya in Qinhuangdao is known as the "Utopia of Literature and Art".

This is a nice weekend escape from Beijing - around 2hr15 ride on the fast speed train. The library and church are actually part of the Aranya resort and is located on the beach front of the resort. You can chose to stay in the resort or can also stay outside and pay only to enter the library area . I stayed outside and payed an entrance fee. However I would really recommend booking a room and staying in Aranya. You can’t really swim in the sea but the resort seems to have its own pool, restaurant and even a livehouse. Also if are able to avoid the holiday periods - you can actually get some nice deals at Aranya. #chinatravel #wecreate #beijing

An amazing getaway from Beijing. I try to go once a year to the beach nearest to the capital and I love to go in may before the crowds start coming. The weather is not that warm in may but I just love to feel the sand under my feet. This time we drove a car to Aranya. It took about 3 hours each way. As an alternative you can take a train from Beijing to Beidaihe or Qinhuangdao train station, they are not so far apart and from the station it’s very easy to take a taxi or DiDi. Aranya is a closed community with hotels, apartments, restaurants, shops, cinema and you need to live in one of the hotels or go to an event to be able to get access to enter. Once inside it is so amazing nice. The beach stretch is quite long and you can find a church, library and bars along the beach. As we entered we had lunch at HE Kitchen before heading to the beach. In the evening we had shake shack however there are multiple options for food if you want to explore. Very satisfying to just be by the ocean and get some vitamin Sea 🌊 #2023travelwish #passionpassport #Beidaihe #Aranya

Aranya! The best place to visit while you’re in Qinhuangdao! Totally worth it! This “little town” has got everything inside! The beach, many western restaurants and bars, outdoor movie area, cinema, library, church etc! The architecture is very modern! I will definitely return during summer! Would love to spend some summer holidays here! #holidays

Getting There - 2 hours by speed train from Beijing Attractions - Beaches, Church and more Hotels - Aranya beach resort Food & Restaurants - local and international food available Shopping - not recommended #china #金秋赏枫胜地 #登山 #国家公园 #本地遊 #境外遊

As the most famous high-end leisure area around Beijing, Anaya has been very popular for a while. Many people choose to go there in summer, but I actually prefer Anaya in winter. Winter is definitely the off-season. The advantages of the off-season are, first, fewer people, and second, cheaper accommodation. Accommodation that costs two to three thousand yuan during the peak season can be managed for only six to seven hundred yuan in winter! The most important thing is that the sea in winter has a unique charm: cold, aloof, and clear. Only at the lonely seaside in winter can you understand why it is called the loneliest library in the world. If you start from Beijing, you can drive about 300 kilometers to the Anaya Gold Coast community. Or you can take a train + taxi, 40 yuan from Changli Railway Station to Anaya / 70 yuan from Beidaihe Railway Station to Anaya / 110 yuan from Qinhuangdao Railway Station to Anaya. #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs

The sea is really a romantic place. Whether it is a walk on the beach or the sunrise and sunset at the beach, it is fascinating. Here is the Lonely Library and the white Aranya Auditorium. It's really worthwhile to come to Aranya when the weather is good. Transportation: Take a train from Beijing to Changli or Beidaihe, and after getting off the train, take a taxi to Anaya Community. Or you can drive here directly. Accommodation: If you stay in a hotel or B&B in the Aranya community, you do not need to make separate reservations for the auditorium and library, you can enter directly for a visit. Eating: There are many community canteens and restaurants in Anaya. In the off-season, only the canteens are open, while in the peak season, all the restaurants are open. Shopping: There is a seaside market and library, where fresh snacks and souvenirs can be bought. #Hot summer destination

Amazing resort found today in Qinhuangdao, Beidaihe. Aranya resort. Located on the gold beach. Great empty beach, huge nice park territory with a lot of European style restaurants 😍 #tripaway

This is my second time not at home, this year I came to Beidaihe Anaya evening in the sea breeze bar to shoot people's cocktails, my girlfriend and I do not drink, a cup of jasmine, because I have not changed the hot milk forever Yes, there is no heat small barbecue tastes quite good, chicken wings, chicken cartilage, kebabs, scallops, ribs, taro slices, chicken chop, kidneys... and burgers, salads, snacks / Hh/pizza is only 12 inches, I think it is very big, actually it is very thin, so not much. The price is a bit high 158, double spell 188, in fact, no reason. We ordered the durian spelt avocado prawns, and the durian tastes very strong. The service is very good, so busy, the attitude is very good. The ordering staff is easy to lose the order and has to stare at himself. Like the table, the bartenders are busy at a close, great. The cocktail is super nice. Its hard to ask for a New Years Eve. If you finish eating, you wont leave, so come early. Looking at the circle of friends, I found that there are so many friends coming to Anaya for the New Year! This is not a summer patent. There are different landscapes lonely libraries in different seasons, Anaya Auditorium, UCCA Dunes Art Museum, one-way space, Anaya Youth Camp... there are lots of fun, and New Year's event performance sea water frozen on a side, like a cocktail cup, the sea may be a cup of people

Like art, and can be quiet children, there is also a place to see exhibitions in Anaya, from the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) in Beijing 798, where the [UCCA Dunes Art Museum] presents 9/group artists. s work. The exhibition refers to the reality faced by Chinese contemporary art creation in the context of human narration in which the wild nature gradually disappears and the relationship between the individual and nature is fully transformed. Abandoning the exhibition, the general people do not understand the connotation, the building itself is more attractive than the exhibition, the space is very suitable for changing angle photography, hidden under a small hill. There is a small cafe in , which can be directly connected to the outdoor, there is a spiral staircase to the second floor, and there are three floors, but the stairs are a highlight live in a concealed hotel, you can take the hotel battery car Go back and you can wait on the roadside. There is a hotel car that can go back.

Memerios at Macau

Here is probably the most beautiful art museum! Beidaihe Anaya's UCCA dunes are an art museum hidden under the dunes, facing the open beach. The exhibition hall is made up of a series of cell-like continuous spaces like caves, very beautiful m 2019.9.22-2020.2 .23. The exhibition of True New Town Log of Dune Art Museum is derived from the True New Town in the Japanese classic animation The Elf Pokemon in the 1990s. It is both a place where humans and elves first met, and a dream. Where it is. Let us feel the unexpected beauty of the artist using technology to create a natural scene and create fantasy in the autumn seaside~

Anaya Photo Raiders: Shoot the most beautiful and most filmed at dusk! came to Anaya and found that it was a little different from what I thought. Of course, the building is still beautiful, and the waters of Beidaihe are also beautiful! And people who often have surfers during the day, sitting on the beach, really enjoy, but when they come to the church of Anaya, there are people except everyone, people, people, want to find a corner of no one to take pictures, That is almost impossible. So, I want to take a panoramic view of the church. I dont know what else to do except the aerial photography. Because its all of them, Ive got a small problem with my aerial photography. Friends did not bring a memory card, only the phone connected to the screenshot, so this picture quality is a bit slag ~ this band can be aerial photography, the plane can fly to shoot, very beautiful ~ morning shot, the sun Big, hard light! The eyes can't open, basically the state of blinking! In the afternoon, the sun is still very large, and more and more people. evening sunset: This time is the best shot, the sun is going down the mountain, the light of the evening is soft and graceful, the angle is good, there will be some light and shadow, it is really Gentle and good-looking ~ In addition to shooting the auditorium, I think it is OK to stand on the beach. If there is a wave, it feels great. This trip, although a lot of people are beyond imagination, but the photos taken are quite satisfactory. PS: Because the building is beige, so just look for a corner, no one, stand, squat, sit and pat, pat, clothes, I think the solid color is pretty good~~ too deep The color is very conflicting, and it may not look good when you shoot it, but this is still a matter of personal preference! 1. Appointment: Search for an appointment on the WeChat public account to visit Anaya. Some attractions have a limited number of appointments per day, which is a fee. I dont remember how much money I can ask. 2. Check-in: Choose to stay in a villa, hotel or hotel in the Anaya community, with a room card or a hotel voucher, you can choose the hotel directly in the WeChat public account! Address: Ana Gold Coast Community, located in the Anaya Auditorium, Gold Coast Central District, Changli County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province

Lavender bloom romantic purple flower sea I am the favorite purple ~

In the midst of a busy life, I always yearn for an escape from the hustle and bustle, which led me to choose Yutian Qilihai Resort. The moment I stepped onto this enchanting land, I began a dreamy and healing journey, where both my body and mind were greatly relaxed. Upon entering the resort, I was immediately captivated by the strong coastal fishing village atmosphere. Strolling along the quaint streets lined with shops selling unique handicrafts and souvenirs full of fishing village charm, each one exuded its own distinctive appeal. The architectural style here blends traditional and modern elements, with blue-tiled roofs and white walls illuminated by dazzling lights at night, creating a fairy-tale-like ambiance. At the Fun Wild Farm, I was instantly transported back to the carefree days of childhood. Picking fresh fruits and vegetables with my own hands, feeling the joy of harvest, and getting up close with adorable animals in the petting zoo—their charming antics made all my worries vanish. The folk band’s performance was equally delightful, with melodious tunes echoing across the fields as I sat on the lawn, quietly listening and immersing myself in the moment. The Flower Sea Camp offered another romantic scene. A riot of colorful flowers bloomed in competition, forming a sea of blossoms. Walking among them, the air was filled with fragrance. I found a quiet corner to sit and enjoy this serene and beautiful moment, feeling gently embraced by nature. As night fell, the resort became even livelier. The Starlight Market was bustling with a dazzling array of handicrafts, and vendors warmly greeted visitors. The aroma of authentic local delicacies filled the air, making mouths water. I savored the delicious food while admiring the night scenery around me, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. The most anticipated events were undoubtedly the fireworks show and the light show. Fireworks burst brilliantly in the night sky, illuminating the entire resort and reflecting magically on the water. The light show, with its stunning visual effects, told the story of Yutian, transporting me through time and space. After a day of fun, it was time to indulge in local cuisine. The Steamed Seafood Tower was a must-try—freshly caught and steamed seafood retained its original deliciousness, bringing immense satisfaction with every bite. The mackerel dumplings were another specialty, generously stuffed and bursting with flavorful broth, leaving me utterly enchanted. 💡【Travel Tips】 📍Location: Between Houli Village and Dahanzhuang Village in Qilihai, Beidaihe New District, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. 🚗Transportation: • By car: Exit at Changli on the Jingha Expressway.
