When we heard Beihai, our imagination always flies to a fascinating city boasting lustrous peals, beautiful Silver Beach, mysterious Weizhou Island and traditional fishing villages…… At April 14, 2008, we eventually explored Beihai personally. What a wonderful tour it was!
On arriving in Beihai city, we took the No.3 bus heading to the Silver Beach. Located in the southeast of the Beihai city, the Silver Beach is 10 kilometers from downtown, with a total area of 22 square kilometers. For thousands of years, fine quartz has been accumulating on Silver Beach, so called because it reflects the sun rays with a dazzling light, like a land of silver. Praised highly as the First Beach in China, it is famous for its extensive beach with fine and white sand, clean and warm water and gentle waves, as well as being safe and free from sharks in swimming area. After checking in and leaving our baggage in the hotel, we couldn’t help ourselves running onto the Silver Beach Resort. It consists of three sections: Beihai Silver Beach Park, Beihai Beach Park and Qiaogang Beach, which connect together stretching tens of kilometers, dotted with Ocean Sports and Entertainment Center, the villas and restaurants by shore. Among them, the Beihai Silver Beach Park and Beihai Beach Park cost 25RMB respectively. There are thousands of tourists of every skin color in every sort of swimwear: some lie on the beach, some swim, and some chat under beach umbrellas. We found that there are many pores in the silver-white even beach, from which many little sand crabs run out of. The lovely little things arouse our interest in grabbing them, which is of much fun. The boundless dark blue ocean is so limpid due to its great self-cleaning capability that objects more than two meters under seawater can be seen clearly. And it is really exciting to swim in the sea. Everyone, whatever their age or sex, went crazy, jumping and cheering in the waves, reluctant to leave, as if all the worries in daily life vanished at that moment.
