Why Beidaihe

Beidaihe has a long history as a recuperation destination, and both its climate and its facilities are built for rest. In summer the sea breeze and pine forest bring the temperature down noticeably, escaping the inland heat; the seaside boardwalk and parks are made for walks at dawn and dusk, and the level of activity can be set very low.

  • Cool in summer, away from the inland heat — easy on older travellers
  • Seaside boardwalk and pine forest; a walk at dawn or dusk is activity enough
  • One base, no hotel changes — luggage is set down once for seven days
