Qinhuangdao in Two Days
The Beidaihe beach classic — enough to feel the coast: Tiger Rock and the seafront on day one, the Geziwo sunrise and the bird wetlands on day two, with a seafood night at Shitanglu market in between. Built for the Beijing weekend; bookable end-to-end by our team.
Day-by-Day Plan
Tiger Rock & the seafront. Arrive at Tiger Rock Sea Park (¥8, 06:00–22:00, +86 335 4033 301) for a morning swim or boulder walk. Lunch in the lanes, then the free Olympic Park and bird museum beside the wetland. Evening: the Shitanglu seafood market — buy mantis shrimp or crab live by the jin and have it steamed for a few yuan. Finish at the Biluo Pagoda bar park for the night shows (¥100 after 18:00 incl. shows, +86 335 4034 566).
Sunrise & wetlands. Pre-dawn Geziwo Park (¥20, opens 03:00 in summer, +86 335 4041 774) — climb Eagle Rock and watch the sun 'bathe' in the sea, the sight that inspired Mao's poem. Breakfast of mung-bean cake, then the Dachaoping wetland boardwalk and Qianshui Bay (free) — full of birds in migration season. Afternoon train or coach back to Beijing.

Seafood by the jin
Shitanglu market is the honest way: mantis shrimp ¥11–18/jin, crab ¥45–60, processing ¥1–5 per jin. Watch the weighing — the beach touts are not the market.
