Beihai ordeal is over, really don’t recommend going in December, it’s just too overwhelming

🌊 Beihai ordeal is over, really don’t recommend going in December, it’s just too overwhelming😭 ——2025 winter travel real blow, sea wind like knives + soaring prices, spent ¥1500 per person for nothing ⚠️ Why not recommend going in December? ✅ Damp cold blow: sea wind humidity makes 8℃ feel like -5℃, northerners freeze to doubt life ✅ Magical prices: Qiaogang seafood ¥200/jin, Silver Beach lounge chair ¥100/hour ✅ Experience collapse: Weizhou Island ferry often canceled, half of the shops on Old Street closed 📍 2025 Beihai winter real pain points (with solutions) 1️⃣ Weather: double whammy of sea wind + humidity 🌧️ Current situation comparison: - Magic attack: 20 minutes walking on Silver Beach, hands and feet numb from cold - Fierce wind warning: walking on Guantouling requires hugging trees, umbrella ribs break instantly - Same temperature indoors and outdoors: homestay heating insufficient, shivering under two blankets at night 💡 Solutions: ✔️ Physical defense: - Wear fleece underwear + fleece jacket + windproof coat (ordinary down jacket not enough) - Use heat packs (stick on phone, camera, power bank too) - Bring foldable dryer ¥80 (dry all clothes overnight in hotel) 2️⃣ Transportation: overcharging + suspended sailings double whammy 🚢 Pitfalls record: - Beihai Station → Silver Beach: taxi flat rate ¥50 (meter ¥25) - Weizhou Island ferry: - Northern route 25 has 50% suspension rate, refund deducts ¥30 fee - Island sightseeing car ¥200/day (walking is exhausting) - Illegal car trap: “free shuttle” at dock is actually seafood stall touts 💡 Alternative solutions: ✔️ Public transport: - Route 20 ¥2 (covers Silver Beach, Old Street, Qiaogang) - Tourist line ¥10 (but few trips) ✔️ Didi discount from ¥8 (clearly priced to avoid overcharging) 3️⃣ Attractions: expectations VS reality 📸 Truth blow: - Silver Beach free! But biting sea wind, lounge chair ¥100/hour, foot rinse ¥5/time - Weizhou Island ¥98 ticket + ¥150 ferry: winter seawater murky, diving ¥380 for nothing - Beihai Old Street free! But half shops closed, shrimp cake ¥5 each becomes ¥15 💡 Best moments: ✔️ Free alternatives: - Jinhai Bay mangroves ¥80 (winter migratory bird spectacle, better value than Silver Beach) - Beihai Museum free! (warm indoors, learn maritime Silk Road history) ✔️ Off-peak tips: - Early 7am Silver Beach (no tour groups, shoot empty beach) - Evening Waisha Island free! (watch sunset fishing boats, buy seafood market self-cook) 🗺️ 2025 optimized itinerary (damage control version) 📍 2 days 1 night highlights - Stay: Beibu Gulf Plaza Hotel ¥150/night (floor heating + air conditioning, avoid seaside homestays) - Play: ✅ Day 1: - Morning Beihai Museum free! (learn maritime Silk Road history, avoid cold) - Noon Waisha Island free! (watch sunset fishing boats, buy seafood market self-cook) - Evening Qiaogang Style Street ¥50/person (Vietnamese spring rolls + sweet soup, cheaper than Old Street) ✅ Day 2: - Morning Jinhai Bay mangroves ¥80 (winter migratory bird spectacle, better value than Silver Beach) - Noon Beihai Old Street free! (half shops closed, shrimp cake ¥5 each becomes ¥15) - Eat: 🔥 Qiaogang sweet soup ¥6/bowl (24 sweet soup shops, taro balls and sago are amazing) 🔥 Seafood market self-buy ¥80/person (Waisha Island dock, processing fee ¥15/dish) 💡 2025 ultimate survival rules ❌ Avoid list: - Scenic spot “pearl necklace” ¥200 each (seafood market ¥30 same quality) - Taxi recommends “seafood stall” (dead seafood sold as live seafood) ✅ Real tips: - Buy seafood at market ¥50/person (self-buy and process, half price of scenic spots) - Use public transport ¥2/trip (covers main attractions, cheaper than taxi) 🏮 Traveler awakening quote “Cried over a ¥100 lounge chair on Silver Beach, But watched migratory birds return for free at the mangroves; Got angry laughing at Weizhou Island’s suspended sailings, But sweetened by a bowl of Qiaogang sweet soup; Frustrated by inconvenient transport, Yet silent when touching Silk Road relics in the museum— Beihai’s winter, Hides in the wrinkles that need to shed filters.” 👇 Interaction “What other bitter experiences have you had in Beihai? One winner will get [Sweet Soup Voucher + Heat Packs]!”
