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

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

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.

🌟 Highlights: November is the time when seagulls migrate. Tens of thousands of Siberian seagulls travel thousands of miles to Qinhuangdao for the winter, and there are especially many seagulls on the Azure Coast! You can stand on the trestle or by the beach and throw sausages into the air, and the seagulls will come to eat them. Interacting with seagulls makes for great photos! Walk west along the coastline and you'll see a white building that looks like a piano. This is the Lang Bar. The entrance is on the left side of the building. Go up the stairs and you'll find a terrace with an unobstructed view of the sea. Coffee is served during the day and alcohol at night. You can also enjoy the ginger soda from Rose Story here. Relax and take some photos! If you're traveling with kids, the Central Park behind the Lang Bar is a must-visit. The Bay Treasure Park has an ocean theme, with scenes such as sharks, sea turtles, and reefs, as well as pirate ships, slides, and rock climbing. Children of all ages can have fun here! They'll be sure to sleep well at night. Don't forget to watch the sunset on the Azure Coast! You have to come here to experience it for yourself. Remember to dress warmly, as it can get cold when the wind blows. 🍽 Dining Recommendations: For lunch, you can go to San Canteen for a hot bowl of beef bone soup and spicy hot pot. If you like Korean food, we recommend the North Korean Village, 7.4 km from the Azure Coast! It's authentic, delicious, and affordable! For a hot pot of beef tendon, Dongyu Jintoubaniao Yiguoxiang (Bishuhua Garden Store), 2.6 km from the Azure Coast, is also great. The meat is tender and melts in your mouth. The owner sells at a small profit but with quick turnover. Highly recommended!

Let's meet in the mountains and rivers. 🌊 Yu Hui is in Qinhuangdao for the second time for "Traveling the Mountains and Rivers with Yu Hui".

👭 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~

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!
