Yu Hua wasn't lying. The most beautiful sunrise can be seen in Haiyan.

🌊 I came to this hidden gem of a seaside town because of Yu Hua's line, "I want to swim until the sea turns blue." I strolled through this ancient town with a history of over 2,000 years, where you can find traces of "To Live" and "Chronicle of a Blood Merchant"... ✅ Must-visit spots 1⃣ Shendang Ancient Town The stone-paved streets of Shendang Ancient Town are lined with ancient Hui-style buildings. Victory Restaurant is a must-visit spot in this ancient town. If you happen to visit at noon, you can also try the stir-fried pork liver and yellow wine. The prototype of "Chronicle of a Blood Merchant" is also here. You can also check in at the entrance of the Xuanhu Hall Cafe and experience the local water town life. 2⃣ Shendang Granary Not far from the ancient town, you'll find a lyric wall check-in point. You can also visit the Geometry Bookstore to read Yu Hua's books and enjoy a cup of coffee. At sunset, when the sun shines in, it's truly amazing. 3⃣ Qiyuan Commercial Street Seafood stir-fry and authentic snacks are an ultimate temptation for your taste buds. 4⃣ Qiyuan The scenic area combines the beauty of Suzhou and Yangzhou, with ancient buildings, winding vines, and gardens featuring trees, mountains, and ponds. Qiyuan is known for its ten scenic spots. 5⃣ Fengyi Scenic Area A new check-in spot in Jiaxing, this place requires no tickets. It's lush and green, with houses hidden deep in the bamboo forest. Stroll along the paths and enjoy the natural air of the fields and tea gardens. 6⃣ South Lake Scenic Area Known as the "Little West Lake," South Lake offers stunning views of the lake and mountains! Take a boat ride on the lake and watch the sunset cast a golden glow on the water. At this moment, time seems to stand still. Don't forget to climb to the top of Yingke Peak for a breathtaking view of the entire scenic area. It's definitely worth the trip!
