Shanwei | The stunning ancient sea castle in a small city | The beauty of ruins

This seaside building that looks like an ancient castle is unexpectedly located within China. Having been in Shanwei for so many days, although there are many seasides, most of them are not much different from other coastal scenic areas in the country. If there is a most recognizable attraction, it should be this place. The unfinished building by the sea has a mysterious and incomplete beauty, especially when the wind is strong and the waves are high, it is very suitable for taking pictures of the disappearing her. ⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed address: This place is actually quite far from the downtown area of Shanwei, at least half an hour's drive, at the southernmost tip of Shanwei, in the Red Bay South Sea Guanyin Tourism Scenic Area.

According to the navigation results, after entering the scenic area, you can follow the path below to the castle: - Turn left immediately after entering the scenic area gate and go straight. - Go down after seeing a sign for a parking lot. - There are two small shops on the left hand side, go through under the shed on the right hand side. - Climb up the slope, take the fork to the left. - You will return to the blocked parking lot fence, turn right and go straight for 100 meters to reach the ancient sea castle. In short, follow the crowd and you will find it, as most people come here for this place. 🕙Opening hours: People come during the day, but looking at the castle with its light strips, it should be quite stunning at night if you can get in. There is an ancient castle cafe nearby where you can eat, drink, and enjoy the scenery. 💰Ticket price: There is no admission fee, it's just a popular photo spot, but the scenery is unique and worth a visit. Photography Tips 👉The ancient sea castle is surrounded by the sea on three sides, which can be used to your advantage to take photos of the castle and the sea from different angles, and also avoid the crowds. 👉Natural elements such as waves, rocks, and sunsets can be used as backgrounds to add depth and dynamic beauty to the photos. 👉Since the castle is close to the sea, be careful when it's windy and the waves are high, avoid taking pictures in wet, slippery, or dangerous places. However, now the areas close to the sea are fenced off with iron railings, and you basically can't get in. 👉Try different composition techniques, such as foreground composition, frame composition, etc., to make the photos more artistic. It is recommended to sit in the ancient castle cafe, where you can take a long shot, or choose some large-scale angles, but the downside is that there are many people. 👉The architectural style of the cafe and the unfinished castle opposite are the same, both are this rough concrete desolate style, and the taste of the things inside is also good, the business is so good that you can't even find a place. 📌Little Tips: This place has become so popular, probably no one expected it, the power of the internet is strong, and the public's aesthetic is very sophisticated, much stronger than many 5A scenic spots. The cafe also knows how to pick a location, with so many people you can't even book a seat, isn't the scenery here stronger than the rock bars in Bali?
