My 8-year-old daughter exclaimed how beautiful it was! Weihai Swan-Chasing Walking Guide: Stunning Golden Sunrise + Seaweed House

Rongcheng Swan Season Officially Begins
A full day of swan chasing in Weihai! My 8-year-old daughter screamed the whole time, "The swans are even more beautiful than Disney fireworks" 🎇
Includes a comprehensive pitfall avoidance guide + the best photo spots👇

"Mom, can swans fly?" My 8-year-old asked a soul-searching question before we set off 🦢
It was below zero in Weihai in winter, and after much hesitation, we finally went
When the sunrise at Honghu Bay dyed the swans golden 🌅
My daughter, glowing, said, "It's even more beautiful than Disney fireworks"
My phone froze from the cold while taking pictures 📱 but this healing moment was worth it ✨

[6 AM at Honghu Bay Photography Base]
📍Address: Huanhai Road, Chengshan Town, Rongcheng City, Weihai
⏰Recommended arrival time: Half an hour before sunrise
💡Tips: Free parking / No admission fee / S Bay is a must-visit!

We left "Bufu Swan Lake Resort" in the dark
A 15-minute drive, and it was still dark when we arrived
My daughter, shivering from the cold, instantly became a little bird-chasing expert 🏃‍♀️ when she saw the swans

"Mom, are they sleeping?"
When my daughter whispered this soul question,
A nearby photography uncle smiled mysteriously:
"Wait and watch the sun perform magic on the swans"

At exactly 7 AM! Golden sunlight spread across the sea
The white swans instantly turned into "golden swans" ✨
My daughter danced excitedly:
"Not even Disney fireworks are this beautiful!"
The captured moment of wings spreading and taking off
Became the best photo of the year 📸

[2 PM at Swan Lake National Park]
📍Address: Huanhai North Road, Chengshan Town, Rongcheng City
🎫Ticket: 60 RMB/person (half price for children)
🌾Must-shoot: Reed beds beside the White Goose Café

After a nap at the resort, fully recharged~
The breakfast at "Bufu" was amazing!
Freshly steamed buns + millet porridge + local side dishes
My daughter drank two bowls and said, "It's tastier than the swans eat" 🥣

The reed beds at White Goose Café made a stunning appearance
Golden background + leisurely swans = a blockbuster shot
My daughter insisted on taking a "same frame" photo with the swans
This set of reed photos went viral on social media 💥

🌟Photography tips:
Stand at a 45-degree angle by the reed bed
Take continuous shots as the swans swim by
Afternoon sunlight acts as a natural filter!

[Fairy Tale Seaweed House Resort]
📍Address: Swan Lake Road, Chengshan Town, Rongcheng City
💰Price: 500-800 RMB/night in the off-season

My daughter screamed as soon as she entered:
"This is a little house from a fairy tale!"
Stone walls + seaweed roof + small swing
Open the window to see the sea view 🌊
Fall asleep to the sound of waves at night
The owner also told stories about swan migration
My daughter's eyes lit up listening ✨

💣Pitfall avoidance guide:
1⃣ Must-visit Honghu Bay + Swan Lake National Park
(Smoke Dun Cape is too commercial / Cherry Blossom Lake has fewer swans)
2⃣ Arrive at Honghu Bay before 6:30 to grab the best spot
3⃣ Wear fleece-lined pants + snow boots!
4⃣ Drones and pets are strictly prohibited 🚫
5⃣ Eat at Weiping Home-style Cuisine, 30 RMB per person to eat until full
(The steamed fish is so fresh it jumps!)

On the way back, my daughter hugged her swan doll
Still humming the "Golden Swan" song 🎵
This bird-chasing trip in the cold wind
Turned out to be the most healing parent-child trip of the year 💕
