West of the urban area of Shanwei City, Guangdong, lies a stretch of natural coastline that has not yet been developed on a large scale—Magong Beach. Unlike the bustling and crowded Jinding Bay, it retains a rare sense of tranquility and wild charm, making it a hidden gem beach kept secret by many travelers. The sand here is fine and soft, not rough on the feet, and feels quite comfortable to walk on. On sunny days, it presents a clear, blue-green hue. While it may not reach the clarity of a glass sea, it is visibly clear and not dark or murky. The waves are relatively large, and the sound of them crashing against the shore is particularly powerful, adding a touch of primitive, wild tension to the place. A landmark view is an abandoned pier suspension bridge that extends into the sea. The space formed by the bridge arch underneath creates a cinematic scene when waves crash against the bridge pillars. This coastline, which many call a blue secret realm, offers a sanctuary for travelers tired of the crowds, where they can truly zone out and watch the sea with its soft sand, abandoned bridge arches, and untamed waves.Shanwei · 13.1km from downtown

Among them, the main peak of the Lotus Mountains with an altitude of 1336 meters is a good place to climb and enjoy the scenery. The Lianhuashan Scenic Area is dominated by Jiming Temple. The temple has a long history and can be traced back to 1633 AD. Due to five consecutive natural disasters in Haifeng, Yinzhen monks who came here for alms build an temple on Lianhuashan for Haifeng. Jufu has been around for nearly 400 years now. When tourists come to Lianhua Mountain, they may wish to buy some special Lianhua camellia tea from the mountain, and soak in the spring water of Lianhua Mountain, which is particularly refreshing.Haifeng · 10.7km from downtown

Guangzhou Tower, a landmark of Guangzhou, stands at a towering 600 meters including its antenna, making it one of the most famous towers in China. From its top, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Guangzhou. Its slender and elegant shape has earned it the nickname "Slim Waist." At night, the tower lights up, making it a perfect spot for photography, even if you don't go inside. The tower is divided into five functional zones from A to E. Zone A at the base showcases Guangzhou's history, culture, economy, and tourist attractions, along with providing tourist services. Zone E at the top offers dining, entertainment, and an observation deck. It's recommended to arrive at the tower by 3:30 PM, queue for security and tickets, and reach the top by 4:30-5:00 PM to catch the sunset. This schedule allows you to experience Guangzhou's panorama during the day, at dusk, and at night. In summer, adjust your visit by two hours later due to longer daylight. Visiting between 7-8 PM is ideal as the tower is less crowded. ▲Pearl River Photography Viewing Platform:Located on the 2nd floor, this platform offers a broad view along the river, perfect for capturing the city's central axis and memorable shots with the tower ▲Landmark α: Features three main thrilling activities—Cloud Walk, Sky Drop, and Alpha Exploration ▲Baiyun/Starry Sky Sightseeing Hall:Situated at 428m and 433m, these themed halls offer stunning views of Guangzhou's new central axis and the Pearl River under blue skies and starry nights ▲Science Exploration Hall: On the 109th and 110th floors, this hall reveals how the 600-meter tower withstands strong winds and earthquakes ▲460m Bubble Tram:With 16 transparent cabins, each holding six visitors, a full rotation takes about 20 minutes.

I got a tourism voucher for two people, which was cheaper than other platforms. The park opens at 10 am and closes at 8 pm. There were hardly any queues for the attractions during the day. Just pay attention to the show times for each venue and allocate your time accordingly; you can easily have a full day. The evening fireworks show is a large-scale spectacle combining sound, light, and live performances, and it's definitely worth seeing.

The African savanna and the deep sea wonderland in the lens seem to be pushed directly in front of you. Every frame is full of vitality. It is both educational and healing. After watching it, you just want to go for a walk in nature.

I think 300 yuan per person is great value for money. It includes a free cable car ride for a panoramic view of the entire park, and a free mini-train ride for a close-up look at the animals on the African savanna – you get to see everything from different angles. We also spent 300 yuan to drive through the park and get a more intimate look at the animals – a very immersive experience. It wasn't the weekend, so it wasn't too crowded. The park staff were very responsible in their explanations. We also ordered a three-person set meal inside the park, which was a bit pricey, but reasonable for the park's price.

Magong Beach in Shanwei is a rare, less-visited beach in Guangdong that combines wild natural beauty, the charm of a fishing village, and stunning "glass sea" scenery. Key attractions and activities: Magong Beach and the abandoned suspension bridge. Magong Beach boasts fine sand. An abandoned suspension bridge extends into the sea, offering excellent photo opportunities. The waves crashing against the bridge pillars create cinematic shots. The bridge surface is now blocked off by a concrete wall, preventing access. Note that the waves are large, there are no lifeguards, and swimming is not recommended. Transportation: By car: Navigate directly to "Magong Beach". By city bus: From Shanwei city center, take bus route 12 to Magong Haipang Street Station, then walk 800 meters to the beach. However, buses are infrequent. Alternatively, you can rent an electric scooter from Jinmawan residential area; the journey takes about 25 minutes. Getting a taxi from Magong Beach is difficult, as ride-hailing services are limited.

The scenery at the top of the mountain is beautiful, making it an ideal place for hiking enthusiasts. Be careful to avoid slipping and use mosquito repellent, and bring plenty of water as there are no supply points along the way.

It’s a good trip. You can see many animals and see the cute red pandas up close. What you especially want to try is to go in and feed the tigers. It’s scary and exciting, but it’s worth it to see the majesty of the tigers up close with your own eyes.
