[2025 Qinhuangdao ] Travel Guide for Seatopia (Updated May)

We had a long weekend in Nandaihe and spent some time in SEATOPIA during the days. You can find everything here from Hotels, bars, restaurants, coffee shops and the beach. There is a sailing club where you can take classes and you can rent bikes to move around. The area is open to visitors even if you don’t live on the premises different from the nearby Aranya where you need a ticket to enter. Bright & Bay coffee We had a lunch brake here with coffee, beer and cakes. The coffee shop is super nice and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We found seating outside and it was a hot day however luckily there was some wind for us. Sunrise This was a bar at the beach. We only came during daytime but should be very cool in the evenings. We had some nice mock tails there is very nice surroundings. It almost felt like we were somewhere outside of China. Super well made. Rooftop bar at Marriott hotel We came here for afternoon tea. The bar has super nice cocktails, a live band and rooftop pool access. We wanted to take swim in the pool but it was very crowded at the time we were there. Will definitely come back. #China #beachlife #instatravel #trip #Nandaihe #beidaihe

Who says vacations must be packed with sightseeing? After two days of pure relaxation at Moon Surge Homestay, I finally discovered how healing "doing nothing" can be! The moment I stepped in, the overall design took my breath away. No flashy decorations—just warm light spilling from minimalist pendant lamps and wall sconces, paired with wooden furniture and light-toned walls. Even the scent was perfectly curated, wrapping me in a soft cloud of comfort, instantly melting away the tension in my shoulders and neck. The room details hide clever touches. The muted Morandi color palette creates an ultra-gentle ambiance, while the plush bedding and matching throw pillows make it impossible to get out of bed. A cozy nook by the window, complete with a rattan side table and cushions, invites relaxation. Draw back the curtains during the day, and sunlight streams in—perfect for sipping tea, flipping through a book, and letting the sound of rustling leaves become your background music. The highlight? The charming open-air courtyard. A winding stone path meanders through lush greenery, dotted with rattan chairs and tables, all under the glow of warm string lights. Spend the day lounging in the shade, lost in thought, and as evening falls, light a small lantern, share drinks and stories with friends, and gaze up at a sky full of stars. No city neon or noise—just nature's purest symphony. Every corner is Instagram-worthy, but I'd rather laze on the sofa or in the courtyard, soaking it all in. If you're craving an escape from the rush and a place to leisurely "waste time," Moon Surge deserves a spot on your list!

It's different from Aranya. The Azure Coast Scenic Area is free of charge. From November to March each year, it's the season for Siberian seagulls to migrate. Azure Coast welcomes a large number of seagulls that gather by the sea, flying in flocks in the air or resting on the sea surface. The scene is spectacular. Taking photos at any random spot turns out great, completely eliminating the worry of crowded and messy shots. Less hustle and bustle, more tranquility and depth. While admiring the seagulls, you can find leisure places nearby such as Cat's Sky Concept Bookstore, Wave Bar, and Camplamp. After watching the seagulls, you can go for a cup of coffee.

👭 Sisters, 💒 I really can't afford Anaya, so I switched to 🏖️ Azure Coast, and unexpectedly gained a lot. This place is not inferior to Anaya at all, 🌸 so beautiful! . 👨‍👩‍👧 The three of our families, all with babies, needed a three-bedroom suite. The apartment area on the Azure Coast is a bit far, and the independent courtyard is a bit expensive. We compromised and chose a duplex villa in Linxi Garden, and I unexpectedly found that the location here is really great! It's very close to the third canteen 🍜, close to the wetland pool 🏊🏻‍♂️, and not far from the beach 🌊. The key point is that the price 💰 is very reasonable. ✓ This is how to live a good life, saving where necessary and spending where necessary. . The kids 🏄🏻‍♂️ strolled to the beach to play. The beach has fewer people compared to public baths, and 🐱 Cat's Sky City is also very nice. We couldn't resist the small gifts 💕 and cultural creations there. . In short, choosing the Azure Coast this time was the right decision. It was a perfect trip 💯. Will come again next vacation!

Encounter the stunning Wave bar. The Wave bar, a bionic white building shaped like a sail, grows elegantly on the delicate and soft white sands of the left bank of the azure coast. It has won the MUSE Design Awards Platinum Architecture Prize. This place is a futuristic concept of a composite club, integrating services such as sailing, sailor bars, sailing classrooms, sailing clubs, and a nautical library. During the architectural design process, the designer pre-set the life scenes of the venue, like the terrace connecting the second to the third floor, which acts as a natural framing device. Standing there, the sea and sky blend into one, and the boundless blue becomes the most beautiful backdrop, making taking photos or listening to the waves an incredibly pleasant experience. Stars and the sea, all in the most romantic bar~

How can you not go to the beach when summer arrives! So, I made plans with friends to set off together~ This time we chose the less crowded Blue Coast, and I'm sharing some personally tested tips with you all, so you can avoid any pitfalls~ 🌟How to have fun with kids? 🏖️Beach: Digging in the sand and playing in the water is always a child's favorite, the kind that you can't pull away even after a whole afternoon, and the popular photo spot with the cloud swing ⛵️Sailing Base: Didn't go for the experience this time ⛲️Central Park: Has a large lawn and children's play facilities 🐑Pastoral Song: Feeding small animals, horses, cows, rabbits, and alpacas 🎨Monologue Art Museum: A cultural landmark and popular photo spot 📖Sky City: A cozy bookstore by the sea 🍴What to eat? ✅Pizza Hut/KFC: For fast food, you have these two options🍟 ✅The community has three canteens, and there are also options for seafood, home cooking, and family restaurants ✅Or order takeout, which can be delivered, and is very convenient 🌟Recommended photo spots ✅Wave bar: A very design-oriented coffee & bar, with unique architectural design.

Aranya is not the only place to visit when traveling to Qinhuangdao! There is a small but beautiful place, do you know? Cote d'Azur, giving you the private domain you want: It’s a niche market, and not many people know about it; Jingmei has beautiful sea areas that are not inferior to Anaya. Cote d'Azur is not a seaside place name, but a park that integrates food, accommodation, transportation and entertainment, which is very convenient. 🎮Play 1⃣️ Beautiful coastline The beach here is really beautiful and there are few people. You can enter and exit the entire 2.8-kilometer coastline freely. The sand is very fine and not as harsh as the sand in some places. You can take your children to the reefs under the wooden pier, where there are small crabs and the children have a lot of fun. 2⃣️ Cat's Castle in the Sky This is a library-style coffee shop with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. It is very nice to take photos and check in facing the sea. You can enter for free even if you don’t buy books or drink coffee. 3⃣️ Central Park Central Park is a huge green oxygen bar where adults can sign up for lawn yoga and children have two playgrounds, one is a large sand pit for playing with sand, a pirate ship and a slide. You can’t have enough fun playing here for an entire afternoon. 3⃣️Wetland Park The wetland park has small slides, swings, swivel chairs, etc., as well as a cute pet park with alpacas, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. 4⃣️Wave bar A cafe/bar, open until 24:00, suitable for couples and girlfriends, it is quite nice to take photos here. Beauties who like taking photos should not miss the popular photo spot on the third floor. It is a pure white distinctive building that looks beautiful from any angle. 5⃣️ Read between the lines A niche library where you can taste, play the piano, read books and enjoy a leisurely and slow life. 🚌 OK There are circular buses in the park, as well as a small train that children love, but the small train can only go to the beach. The bus can go to Maokong Library, the beach, Central Park, etc., with a frequency of 15 minutes. ps: The baby can push the stroller! 🥣Eat It is very convenient to eat. There is a canteen in the park. The best one is Beibei Canteen. There are many kinds of dishes and rice, including noodles and dumplings, which can basically meet the needs of adults and children. 🏠Live There are many homestays in the park area. You can choose a homestay that you feel is comfortable and cost-effective according to your personal preferences. This time we stayed in Seatopia's Rainbow Room. The room was colorful, stylish, and spacious, especially the rainbow slide, where the kids had a blast! It is worth mentioning that the room is fully equipped with everything, not to mention the high-quality toiletries. Even the children's sunscreen is prepared, which really touched me. ✏️Tips Transportation: Get off at Beidaihe High-speed Railway Station and take a taxi for 13 km. Clothes: It’s cold at the beach, so you should bring a coat, especially more clothes for your children. When you play together, your clothes will be destroyed in a minute. Accommodation: Choose a homestay that you feel comfortable in. A family of three will only need 300 to 500 RMB per night. Apart from eating and shopping, you don’t need to spend any other expenses! 📍Address: Cote d'Azur 🚘Transportation: There is a direct bus to the community in Beijing. It takes 15 minutes by taxi from Beidaihe High-speed Railway Station and 20 minutes by car from Anaya 🎫Tickets: Free

Weekend in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, two days of walking with kids without taking leave We set out on Saturday morning to the sea and sky, digging for crabs, catching small fish and picking up shells. In the afternoon, we went to Qinhuangdao Xigang Garden and took photos with the whole family. There were train heads and small flowers. On the second day, we enjoyed the sea breeze on the Cote d'Azur in the morning, and took a walk around the ancient city of Luanzhou in the afternoon. The night view was even more beautiful, just like other ancient cities, but it was better because it was on the way. Two days full of dry goods

The winter snow❄️ fell thickly on the beach, freezing the sea water, lying on the shore in dazzling white. For a moment, you were even confused, are they waves🌊 or snow⁉️ until the cold sea breeze whistled past you , and whistled away again. You suddenly come to your senses and realize that this is the frozen sea‼ ️ There are flocks of seagulls on the beach. They are not afraid of strangers at all. As long as you are willing to give and feed them, they will come to you without hesitation💗. It’s great to watch the sea in winter!

Qinhuangdao is so comfortable in the off-season. The orange sea at sunset on the Cote d'Azur is so romantic. Walking on the beach with a cool sea breeze and feeding the seagulls makes me feel like time has slowed down. It's so chill~
