#100waysoftravel Who knows! Every moment that time, I cried so much! Aranya in Qinhuangdao is known as the "Utopia of Literature and Art". This place combines various art forms such as aesthetics, music, literature, architecture, etc. Traveling here provides a transcendent travel art experience, where you can discover romantic little joys in your daily life. There are many cultural attractions that can be visited all year round, and I highly recommend walking in winter and summer as the scenery will be even better. Taichi Yue! Due to the fact that Anaya is different from traditional tourist attractions, it is a closed and privately managed community that can be accessed through the following four channels: 1. Consultation with the property owner: Can Anaya property owners help with the check-in procedures? 2. Admission with a ticket: If there are music festivals, drama festivals, or other performances in the community, you can enter with a ticket. 3. Accommodation guests: Book accommodation for people or hotels in the park, and enter "How to enter Anaya?" based on the reservation information

#Valentine's Day 2024 Some time ago, my bestie and I went to Qinhuangdao for a trip and came to the Yutian Qilihai Resort. We booked the Avila Courtyard in Spain online in advance, and we were amazed as soon as we entered the door! 😍There is a blue swimming pool🏊🏻 in the small yard, surrounded by🤍 white walls and colorful floor tiles, it feels like being in the Mediterranean. The room is also very beautiful, with a 🌸flower room, alcove, retro sofa, 📹record player, etc. Every corner is very artistic, take pictures and make movies📷 . We stayed for two nights and had different activities every day. 🌿The marine ranch in the fishing field, fed the cute animals, experienced the fishing water village, and learned about the life of fishermen. 🌸The terraced fields are covered with gesang flowers, which are as beautiful as a painting. 🚢Take a boat tour on the Tongcui River, enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river, and feel the scenery on the water. 🤹♀️The night show was so stunning! 👏The ​​first step is the island landing ceremony. A fantasy bridge rises from the Haihe River and connects to the island inside. There are huge water wheels, actors in strange costumes, giant puppets, wonderful light and shadow shows, and rich interactive performances on the island, making people feel as if they have entered a fantasy world of fishermen. Then there was the performance of Shiguang, a naked eye 3D holographic projection show. 🎆Fireworks show, 150w fireworks are nearly twice as powerful as Disney! The whole sky is lit up, it's so beautiful that it makes people hold their breath and stare at it👀 . Travel Tips✅ 🎫Tickets: Single person 120 | Double person 230 | Triple person 320, all the projects in the scenic area are available, each ticket comes with a 20r💰 full-site dining voucher ~ If you want to take a boat to see the water scenery, the boat ticket is 45r💰, and you can travel around the island. . . 🏨Accommodation: If you like taking photos, I suggest you stay at the Avila Courtyard in Spain. If you want to bring your children with you, you can stay at the Wonderland Family Hotel (Wonderland has a magic-themed children's room, and you can also leave your children there with special teachers) . 🚗Surrounding transportation: It takes 3 hours to drive from Beijing to here. You can take the Beijing-Qinhuangdao Expressway 🛣️ and it only takes 5 minutes to get there from the Changli South Expressway Exit. More than 2 hours from Tianjin, 20-40 minutes from Beidaihe Airport (depending on the traffic conditions). . #May1Travel #Qinhuangdao Fishing Field Qilihai #Spanish Style Courtyard #Qinhuangdao Fishing Field Qilihai Resort #Fishing Field Fireworks Feast #Take you to the fishing field to watch fireworks

This is a nice weekend escape from Beijing - around 2hr15 ride on the fast speed train. The library and church are actually part of the Aranya resort and is located on the beach front of the resort. You can chose to stay in the resort or can also stay outside and pay only to enter the library area . I stayed outside and payed an entrance fee. However I would really recommend booking a room and staying in Aranya. You can’t really swim in the sea but the resort seems to have its own pool, restaurant and even a livehouse. Also if are able to avoid the holiday periods - you can actually get some nice deals at Aranya. #chinatravel #wecreate #beijing

An amazing getaway from Beijing. I try to go once a year to the beach nearest to the capital and I love to go in may before the crowds start coming. The weather is not that warm in may but I just love to feel the sand under my feet. This time we drove a car to Aranya. It took about 3 hours each way. As an alternative you can take a train from Beijing to Beidaihe or Qinhuangdao train station, they are not so far apart and from the station it’s very easy to take a taxi or DiDi. Aranya is a closed community with hotels, apartments, restaurants, shops, cinema and you need to live in one of the hotels or go to an event to be able to get access to enter. Once inside it is so amazing nice. The beach stretch is quite long and you can find a church, library and bars along the beach. As we entered we had lunch at HE Kitchen before heading to the beach. In the evening we had shake shack however there are multiple options for food if you want to explore. Very satisfying to just be by the ocean and get some vitamin Sea 🌊 #2023travelwish #passionpassport #Beidaihe #Aranya

Aranya! The best place to visit while you’re in Qinhuangdao! Totally worth it! This “little town” has got everything inside! The beach, many western restaurants and bars, outdoor movie area, cinema, library, church etc! The architecture is very modern! I will definitely return during summer! Would love to spend some summer holidays here! #holidays

Getting There - 2 hours by speed train from Beijing Attractions - Beaches, Church and more Hotels - Aranya beach resort Food & Restaurants - local and international food available Shopping - not recommended #china #金秋赏枫胜地 #登山 #国家公园 #本地遊 #境外遊

As the most famous high-end leisure area around Beijing, Anaya has been very popular for a while. Many people choose to go there in summer, but I actually prefer Anaya in winter. Winter is definitely the off-season. The advantages of the off-season are, first, fewer people, and second, cheaper accommodation. Accommodation that costs two to three thousand yuan during the peak season can be managed for only six to seven hundred yuan in winter! The most important thing is that the sea in winter has a unique charm: cold, aloof, and clear. Only at the lonely seaside in winter can you understand why it is called the loneliest library in the world. If you start from Beijing, you can drive about 300 kilometers to the Anaya Gold Coast community. Or you can take a train + taxi, 40 yuan from Changli Railway Station to Anaya / 70 yuan from Beidaihe Railway Station to Anaya / 110 yuan from Qinhuangdao Railway Station to Anaya. #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs

The sea is really a romantic place. Whether it is a walk on the beach or the sunrise and sunset at the beach, it is fascinating. Here is the Lonely Library and the white Aranya Auditorium. It's really worthwhile to come to Aranya when the weather is good. Transportation: Take a train from Beijing to Changli or Beidaihe, and after getting off the train, take a taxi to Anaya Community. Or you can drive here directly. Accommodation: If you stay in a hotel or B&B in the Aranya community, you do not need to make separate reservations for the auditorium and library, you can enter directly for a visit. Eating: There are many community canteens and restaurants in Anaya. In the off-season, only the canteens are open, while in the peak season, all the restaurants are open. Shopping: There is a seaside market and library, where fresh snacks and souvenirs can be bought. #Hot summer destination

Amazing resort found today in Qinhuangdao, Beidaihe. Aranya resort. Located on the gold beach. Great empty beach, huge nice park territory with a lot of European style restaurants 😍 #tripaway

This is my second time not at home, this year I came to Beidaihe Anaya evening in the sea breeze bar to shoot people's cocktails, my girlfriend and I do not drink, a cup of jasmine, because I have not changed the hot milk forever Yes, there is no heat small barbecue tastes quite good, chicken wings, chicken cartilage, kebabs, scallops, ribs, taro slices, chicken chop, kidneys... and burgers, salads, snacks / Hh/pizza is only 12 inches, I think it is very big, actually it is very thin, so not much. The price is a bit high 158, double spell 188, in fact, no reason. We ordered the durian spelt avocado prawns, and the durian tastes very strong. The service is very good, so busy, the attitude is very good. The ordering staff is easy to lose the order and has to stare at himself. Like the table, the bartenders are busy at a close, great. The cocktail is super nice. Its hard to ask for a New Years Eve. If you finish eating, you wont leave, so come early. Looking at the circle of friends, I found that there are so many friends coming to Anaya for the New Year! This is not a summer patent. There are different landscapes lonely libraries in different seasons, Anaya Auditorium, UCCA Dunes Art Museum, one-way space, Anaya Youth Camp... there are lots of fun, and New Year's event performance sea water frozen on a side, like a cocktail cup, the sea may be a cup of people

Like art, and can be quiet children, there is also a place to see exhibitions in Anaya, from the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) in Beijing 798, where the [UCCA Dunes Art Museum] presents 9/group artists. s work. The exhibition refers to the reality faced by Chinese contemporary art creation in the context of human narration in which the wild nature gradually disappears and the relationship between the individual and nature is fully transformed. Abandoning the exhibition, the general people do not understand the connotation, the building itself is more attractive than the exhibition, the space is very suitable for changing angle photography, hidden under a small hill. There is a small cafe in , which can be directly connected to the outdoor, there is a spiral staircase to the second floor, and there are three floors, but the stairs are a highlight live in a concealed hotel, you can take the hotel battery car Go back and you can wait on the roadside. There is a hotel car that can go back.

Memerios at Macau

Here is probably the most beautiful art museum! Beidaihe Anaya's UCCA dunes are an art museum hidden under the dunes, facing the open beach. The exhibition hall is made up of a series of cell-like continuous spaces like caves, very beautiful m 2019.9.22-2020.2 .23. The exhibition of True New Town Log of Dune Art Museum is derived from the True New Town in the Japanese classic animation The Elf Pokemon in the 1990s. It is both a place where humans and elves first met, and a dream. Where it is. Let us feel the unexpected beauty of the artist using technology to create a natural scene and create fantasy in the autumn seaside~

Anaya Photo Raiders: Shoot the most beautiful and most filmed at dusk! came to Anaya and found that it was a little different from what I thought. Of course, the building is still beautiful, and the waters of Beidaihe are also beautiful! And people who often have surfers during the day, sitting on the beach, really enjoy, but when they come to the church of Anaya, there are people except everyone, people, people, want to find a corner of no one to take pictures, That is almost impossible. So, I want to take a panoramic view of the church. I dont know what else to do except the aerial photography. Because its all of them, Ive got a small problem with my aerial photography. Friends did not bring a memory card, only the phone connected to the screenshot, so this picture quality is a bit slag ~ this band can be aerial photography, the plane can fly to shoot, very beautiful ~ morning shot, the sun Big, hard light! The eyes can't open, basically the state of blinking! In the afternoon, the sun is still very large, and more and more people. evening sunset: This time is the best shot, the sun is going down the mountain, the light of the evening is soft and graceful, the angle is good, there will be some light and shadow, it is really Gentle and good-looking ~ In addition to shooting the auditorium, I think it is OK to stand on the beach. If there is a wave, it feels great. This trip, although a lot of people are beyond imagination, but the photos taken are quite satisfactory. PS: Because the building is beige, so just look for a corner, no one, stand, squat, sit and pat, pat, clothes, I think the solid color is pretty good~~ too deep The color is very conflicting, and it may not look good when you shoot it, but this is still a matter of personal preference! 1. Appointment: Search for an appointment on the WeChat public account to visit Anaya. Some attractions have a limited number of appointments per day, which is a fee. I dont remember how much money I can ask. 2. Check-in: Choose to stay in a villa, hotel or hotel in the Anaya community, with a room card or a hotel voucher, you can choose the hotel directly in the WeChat public account! Address: Ana Gold Coast Community, located in the Anaya Auditorium, Gold Coast Central District, Changli County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province

Wanjiefanghe | Return to Balance | Rushi Sea Beidaihe Healing SPA "All things begin with sensation; the body, objects, emotions, construct an initial space for the self..." —Roland Barthes, *Michelet par lui-même* Balance body and mind, delight the five senses, immerse in pure space, heal and stabilize the true self. 01 Return to Purity In the quiet corners of the world, rediscover your true self. The Healing SPA is located at the Hotel Indigo Rushi Sea Beidaihe, serving as part of the hotel's amenities. Spanning 2,000㎡, it features 2 private SPA suites with secluded courtyards and 4 standard SPA rooms. Outdoors, the hotel complex is nestled beside lakes and the sea, offering a tranquil and pristine natural environment. Indoors, the design engages in a dialogue with the waters, returning to the spiritual core of healing. Through the beauty of balanced space and resonance with body and mind, it reconstructs inner order, restoring peace and harmony. 02 Awaken the Senses "Life is not about maximizing everything but giving back—light, space, form, serenity, joy." The design employs restraint to convey a philosophy of blank space and purification. The reception area maintains a consistent tone with light, low-saturation earth tones. The architectural approach combines volumes, harmonizing proportions to create layers and interplay of light and shadow. Unified design elements ensure a cohesive and balanced aesthetic. The fragrance of essential oils in the air intertwines with visual and olfactory experiences, linking psychology and space, fostering relaxation and focus. 03 Immerse in Serenity Engage with the quietude of lakes and seas through tangible, visible water features that subtly permeate the soul. The nearly still, gentle ripples envelop the mind in tranquility, infusing the space with vibrant vitality. Form, tone, light, sound, and scent combine to create a healing environment. The orderly, square layout resonates with a sense of stability. The lounge area features floor-to-ceiling windows framing the ever-changing seasonal scenery. Tranquil water features extend from the reception area through the corridor to the SPA pool zone, expressing the space's emotional and narrative qualities. The design eliminates visual clutter, emphasizing material and scene harmony, as well as human interaction with the environment. "Light is a fundamental building material, allowing space to breathe and exist." Transparent glass stools become vessels for light, while wall-embedded corridor lamps subtly enhance the ambiance. The seemingly minimalist design gently guides shifts in atmosphere and mood. "Through an empty vessel, nothing yet everything is contained." Simplifying complexity, physical space mirrors psychological space. Light and water converse, reflecting nature's more poetic form "collected" indoors. 04 Balance and Healing After the corridor's cleansing journey, guests arrive at the SPA space with private courtyards. Natural light, organic materials, and elegant tones merge indoors and outdoors, creating an expansive yet intimate sanctuary for relaxation, meditation, and healing. The design employs architectural deconstruction to craft spatial order and beauty.

At sunset, the glow on the chapel is pure magic. Entry also requires an App reservation. For photos, try shooting from a low angle with the sky and chapel as your backdrop—absolutely breathtaking! 🏞️ UCCA Dune Art Museum: An artistic sanctuary hidden beneath the dunes, its cave-like design blends seamlessly with nature. Each viewing window offers a unique perspective of the sea. Inside, you'll find captivating art exhibitions.
