Next to the beach, there is a free foot bath, benches, and a convenience store. The facilities are very complete, allowing parents to enjoy the breeze and sea view while watching their children play freely, making it a relaxing place to relax and take their kids out.
In the evening, take a stroll along the seaside promenade and check in at Torch Hachiga, which is full of healing atmosphere.
This trendy path leading straight to the sea has a strong blue and white atmosphere, like stepping into a Japanese anime scene. The road is flat and open, where kids can run and play freely. Every snapshot is a stunning family photo, and you can check in in just over ten minutes—never tiring.
As night falls, head to Hanle Fang to stroll and find food. It's full of Korean flavor, with streets lined with Korean snacks, trendy desserts, and specialty Korean dishes.
We bought sweet Korean-style rice cakes for the kids. Adults can try the barbecue and seafood hot pot—affordable and delicious. The evening breeze paired with delicious food perfectly concludes the first day's gentle seaside trip.
✨Day 2: Fun parent-child immersion
The second day was the one my child was most looking forward to, focusing on fun experiences!
In the morning, we checked in at Xixiakou Shendiaoshan Wildlife Park, a super niche coastal zoo built by the mountains and sea, with a super fresh environment.
The park is a one-way route, so you don't have to take the wrong steps. The travel route is super friendly for kids, and you don't have to go back and forth and spend extra energy.
Here, you can feed giraffes, sea lions, and fawns up close, and watch many wild animal performances. Kids are thrilled throughout, playing and learning about the animals at the same time—fun and educational content.
In the afternoon, we set off to unlock the Maotoushan Seaside Trail. Many people worry that hiking with kids is too tiring, but there's really no need to panic!
We chose the gentle coastal boardwalk to proceed. Without climbing steep slopes, we walked along the trail and overlooked the entire jelly-colored sea. The sea was so clear and soothing it was blue, and the sea breeze was gentle and refreshing. Along the way, there are viewing platforms and rest areas at intervals, where you can stop and stroll around, enjoy the sea breeze, watch the waves—it's both pleasant and comfortable, and the photo opportunities are excellent.
After a full day of sightseeing, you don't have to rush around; at night, you can stay at the hotel you booked earlier, offering excellent value for the entire stay.
✨Day 3: Gentle slow time
The last day is all about relaxing and leisure, with the kids' favorite tide hunting experience!
We arrived early at the marine park and checked the tide table in advance. After the tide receded, the shallows were full of little surprises—clams, crabs, and small sea snails were everywhere.
Bringing a small bucket and shovel, accompanying the child to squat on the beach to hunt for treasures, immersing themselves in the unique pleasures of the seaside. The children had a great time and felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
After the tide hunt, check in at the popular lighthouse at Yuehai Park. The pure white seaside lighthouse paired with the gentle sea breeze and lush green lawns instantly creates a perfect atmosphere.
There are also seaside swings and leisure trails. The spacious area is not crowded, making it perfect for taking kids for walks, photos, and relaxing to enjoy the last seaside moments.
Parents with plenty of time can also take their kids to Liugong Island for a boat ride, take the boat out to sea to feed the seagulls, and immerse themselves in the grandeur of the blue sea and sky. The island also has many historical exhibition halls, offering both sightseeing and science education, making education fun and rewarding. At the end of the journey, we returned calmly.
