Daya Bay Hikes

#springitinerary If you’re around Daya Bay and feeling the itch to move, the hiking scene here delivers. You’ve got coastal trails like the Dong-Xi Chong route, super chill, right along the water, with breezy ocean views that make every step worth it. Then there’s Qiniangshan if you’re down to sweat a little (okay, a lot). It’s steep, but the views from the top? Chef’s kiss. The vibes are peaceful, not crowded, and full-on nature therapy. Expect birds, trees, and the occasional friendly stray dog trotting along beside you. Pack some snacks, throw on good shoes, and bring water (seriously, it gets humid). Best part? You can end your hike at the beach and just flop down on the sand. Hike + beach = perfect combo. Bottom line: Daya Bay has those easy-to-love hikes with killer views and chill energy. 10/10 would hike again.
