Xunliao & Shuangyue Bay 3-Day Tour
The Huidong coast properly: Xunliao's reefs and water sports, the twin crescents of Shuangyue seen from the air, China's only sea-turtle nesting beach and a 600-year-old walled town. Bookable end-to-end by our team.
Day-by-Day Plan
Xunliao Bay. Direct bus from Henan'an Station (every 30 min, ¥30, ~2 h) to Xunliao Bay (¥8–10, 08:00–18:00). White sand, clear water, banana boats and jet-skis; the yacht out to Coral Island for a guided dive. Evening: seafood by the beach and a night at a beach resort (Bijia Sea-View from ¥160).
Shuangyue Bay & the turtle reserve. Move east along the coast to Shuangyue Bay — climb Daxing Hill to the viewpoint for the famous double-crescent panorama (one bay calm, one rolling). Down at the shore, walk the fishing harbour and beaches. Continue to the Sea Turtle Nature Reserve (¥15) at Gangkou — China's only national turtle nesting beach; in summer watch the conservation work. Sunset over the crescent.
Pinghai Ancient City & home. Morning in Pinghai Ancient City — a Ming walled town of 1385 with four gate towers, the cross-shaped old street and Hakka brick houses. Then the coastal road back to Huizhou, or onward to Daya Bay for an island hop if time allows. Budget the afternoon for the bus or train home.
