Chillin’ on the beach.<\/p><\/div>\n

There are plenty of places where you can sit on a beach across China. You could go to Beidaihe<\/strong><\/a> (\u5317\u6234\u6cb3 – b\u011bi d\u00e0i h\u00e9) or Nandaihe<\/strong> (\u5357\u6234\u6cb3 – n\u00e1n d\u00e0i h\u00e9) in Hebei province if you’re looking for a quick beach getaway outside of Beijing. You won’t find the nicest beaches in the world here, but both are good enough for a short trip out of the city. Fill up on seafood, play in the sand, or take part in some water sports.<\/p>\n

Qingdao in summertime – “people mountain people sea.”<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the most popular cities for a beach vacation is definitely\u00a0Qingdao<\/strong><\/a> (\u9752\u5c9b – q\u012bng d\u01ceo). Just be forewarned of the crowds you’re likely to encounter. If you’ve ever wondered where the hilarious Chinglish idiom\u00a0\u201cpeople mountain, people sea<\/strong>\u201d (\u4eba\u5c71\u4eba\u6d77 \u2013 r\u00e9n sh\u0101n r\u00e9n h\u01cei) comes from, you’ll know as soon as you take a look at a beach here. That being said, with a little bit of legwork you can find yourself on a (relatively) empty beach, and you’ll have so much fun at the Qingdao Beer Festival that it won’t matter how crowded the beach is!<\/p>\n
