2025 Yangjiang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#2024Travel Review Hailing Island is located in the northern waters of the South China Sea at the southwest end of Yangjiang City, covering an area of ​​105 square kilometers. It is the fourth largest island in Guangdong Province and is known as Guangdong Hawaii. There are national AAAA-level scenic spots on the island - Dajiao Bay, Mawei Island Scenic Area, Shili Silver Beach Scenic Area and Golden Beach Scenic Area. The island is covered with tree-lined trees, the sea bottom is flat, and the water is calm. It is famous for its "Hailing Sunset", which is the best place to watch the sunset. When the sky is filled with colorful clouds at night, many tourists stop here to wait. Hailing Island also has rich cultural and historical landscapes, such as Taifu Temple, Linggu Temple, ancient fort, Zhenhai Pavilion, Guanyin Pavilion and more than 10 places. Everywhere has a tragic and touching story. The newly developed Maritime Silk Road Museum mainly displays cultural relics salvaged from Song Dynasty merchant ships.

There's nothing more refreshing in summer than jumping into the water to play. Now, during the summer vacation, everywhere is crowded with people. To avoid the crowds, I found such a place in Guangdong, full of Southeast Asian style 'Venice Water City'. A super long swimming lane surrounds the entire villa resort. Open the garden door, and you can dive into the water. Few people and lots of fun, staying for two nights is extremely enjoyable. - 🔸Garden directly into the Hawaiian swimming lane This time I stayed in a waterside suite, the biggest feature is the back garden on the first floor, open the door and there's the swimming lane, super cool! The key point is that they also provide free glass boats, yellow ducks, banana boats, and other popular floating swimming gear, perfect for taking photos, really fun and photogenic! The garden comes with a private hot spring pool, and the hotel also offers floating afternoon tea, so you can play in the water while enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea. The living room also has an automatic mahjong table, making vacation gatherings super fun. . 🔸Bird's Nest Hot Spring The swimming lane can also lead directly to the hot spring area, with various health-preserving hot springs like red wine, angelica, and rose, as well as massage pools. Swim during the day and soak in the hot springs at night while watching the starry sky, it's so relaxing. . 🔸Fairy-tale amusement camp There is also a super large riverside camping area here, with a huge lawn for running freely, camping, and picnicking, as well as slides and moon swings. Kids can ride the small train, adults can play go-karts, and animal lovers can get close to alpacas, ponies, and other cute pets in the pet park. . 🔸Sunset lighthouse boardwalk Be sure to come to the pier at sunset, stroll along the riverside boardwalk, there's a lighthouse, colorful stairs, perfect for photos. The sunset reflects on the river and the mountains on the opposite shore, giving a special Bali vibe! - 📝Other travel tips: ▪️Don't worry about food, the hotel provides free buffet breakfast with Yangjiang specialties like pig intestine rolls and Sanjia noodles. For lunch and dinner, you can eat at their restaurant, which serves Yangjiang specialty farmhouse dishes, cheap and delicious. Spend over 500 and you can sing karaoke for free, really awesome. ▪️It's about an hour's drive from Hailing Island, where you can enjoy the sunshine and beach. - 🌴Guangdong Yangjiang DS Hot Spring Resort Hotel 📍Futong Shiliquancheng, Yangchun Hot Spring Avenue, Yangjiang City

Getting There - from Guangzhou, I took a high speed train from south station to Yangjiang. upon arriving in Yangjiang I took a didi to the island which costed around 60 rmb for a 40 minute journey. Attractions - Upon arriving on the island you’ll be greeted by the lush coastline. The most famous one being the 10km beach. the beaches are clean and beautiful and not very crowded which makes for a peaceful trip. at night people go to the beach to set off fireworks. Food & Restaurants - you must try the seafood when on hailing island. often the fish is caught from the sea and then served on your plate. it doesn’t get any more fresher than that! #tigeryear2022 #beachlife #staycation #mountainview

My wife and I decided to holiday here because it would be close to the beach. Despite the anticipated 1 hour trip from the railway station to the hotel, we found the hotel did its best to take as much money as possible from its customers. It's on-site convenience store was vastly overpriced and significantly understocked compared to other locations, while access to its pools were charged to those staying on the property. This put a sour taste in our mouth, so we opted to minimise our spend within the hotel. Fortunately, there were plenty of options for food in the local area, and delivery options were also plentiful.

China is the “hometown of silk”, and silk was the most representative of the goods exported by China on the Silk Road. At the end of the 19th century, German geographer and traveler Ferdinand von Richthofen called the Silk Road routes die Seidenstrasse (‘the Silk Road’) or Seidenstrassen (‘silk roads’) in his book ‘China’. The term was quickly accepted by academics and the public, and “Silk Road” was formally accepted as a proper noun. #urbanexplorer #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Dajiao Bay is a well-known scenic spot in Hailing Island. It has beautiful scenery, gentle winds and calm waves, evenly distributed and soft beaches, clear and pure sea water, and fresh air. It is a great place for tourism and vacation. The public bathing area in the middle of the scenic area allows you to experience a variety of water activities, including surfing, windsurfing, motorboats, paragliders, beach cars, etc., which are very exciting.

HaiLing Island in China has added some new spots that opened in the last few years to check out if you haven't been there in a while : the sank cargo boat from ancient Silk Road; and the HaiLing National Wetland Park. Both are interesting. #happynewyear #happynewyear

The hottest red spot in Guangdong - hit the highest infinity pool in the country. The photo taken on the top is super high, and the Skyline Pool is located on the 30th floor of the main building of the hotel, 100 meters high. Because he is very close to the beach, plus his absolute height, the landscape here is completely different. The sea seen here is almost vertical, and the sea, the sky and the pool are mixed together, and the photos are super beautiful! Swimming here is not just the enjoyment of the body, under the hundred meters is the vast sea, 180 degrees invincible seascape, overlooking the bar, white beaches, rolling waves, beautiful views, Bringing not only the enjoyment of the body, but also the psychological shock...

Not the Swiss Alps, nor Xinjiang's Altay—this vast grassland and azalea sea tucked away in western Guangdong is turning spring into poetry! In Qixing Village, Shuangjiao Town, Yangchun City, Yangjiang, wild azaleas burst into pink-and-white blooms across mountain ridges at 1,000 meters above sea level. Emerald meadows roll with the terrain, cattle graze leisurely, and when mist drifts over the slopes, it feels like Totoro might peek out from the flowers any second. 🚗 Travel & Stay Guide • **Self-drive**: Navigate to "Yangchun Qixing Village Jiucaidi."

This spring, escape urban jungles here—let azaleas be your backdrop, tread breathing-green carpets, and inhale air sweetened by blossoms and earth.

I always thought I knew all about Guangdong's beautiful scenery, but this trip to Yangjiang completely blew me away! Who knew there was such a stunning island paradise hidden here? This Chinese New Year, our family of five (plus our pet dog) drove 1,700 kilometers from Chengdu to Hailing Island in Yangjiang. We rented two sea-view apartments at an incredible value - just 1,200 yuan per month! With soft sandy beaches and crystal-clear pools right downstairs, waking up to the sound of waves and opening our windows to blue seas and skies made this the perfect vacation. This place is truly fun for all ages: our uncles who love fishing would return with full catches whether they went sea fishing or reservoir fishing; the aunties changed outfits daily for fabulous seaside photoshoots; and the kids had endless fun digging in the sand, beachcombing for crabs, shells, and conches - they never wanted to leave! The apartment facilities were incredibly thoughtful, with a supermarket and mahjong room downstairs catering to both elderly and young guests. The local market just 3km away offered fresh, affordable ingredients. Mornings began with authentic dim sum, and evenings featured freshly bought and cooked seafood - pure bliss! We even vacationed with friends this time - six families totaling over 30 people celebrating the New Year together. Watching sunrises and sunsets, beachcombing, digging in the sand, and setting off fireworks - all our seaside vacation dreams came true here! Travel Tips: 1. Comfortable 20°C weather - perfect for spring/autumn clothing 2. Renting electric scooters is super convenient for getting around the island 3. Must-visit spots: Ten-Mile Silver Beach, Beiluo Secret Realm, Mangrove Forest Park, and Dina Hai Reef - great for both photos and hiking 4. Apartments have kitchens and offer budget-friendly options 5. Just 30 minutes' drive to downtown with more water activities and dining choices 6. Don't forget sunscreen - the seaside UV rays are strong!
