#slowtraveling Jinsha Bay is a perfect place to slow down and enjoy a different side of Zhanjiang. Instead of rushing from one attraction to another, I spent some time walking along the waterfront, enjoying the sea views, watching the city around me, and simply taking in the atmosphere. I like places like this because there’s no need to have a packed itinerary. You can walk, stop for a while, take some photos, or just sit and watch the world go by. Sometimes, the best way to experience a city is to do less and simply give yourself time to enjoy it. Do you enjoy slow walks along the waterfront when you travel?

The vibe in this old town is fantastic ❤️🔥#downtown #china

#underratedspots Jinsha Bay is one of those places in Zhanjiang that I think deserves more attention from travelers. The waterfront offers beautiful sea views, a long promenade, and plenty of space to simply walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s also a nice place to see a more modern side of Zhanjiang. What I liked most was that it didn’t feel like a place you had to rush through. You can take a slow walk, stop to enjoy the view, and watch the city and the sea change throughout the day. If you’re visiting Zhanjiang, Jinsha Bay is definitely worth adding to your list. What makes a place worth adding to your travel list?

But the staff were very patient, trying different ways to entertain him. The photographer was also very skilled👍🏻 Captured many moments with perfect expressions of the three of us!

"A faded photo seems to bring me a little nostalgia. The hot dry noodles sold by the grandfather at the end of the street are filled with the old backyard. The stray cat sleeps and shakes the swing, the sunset shines over it and squints... Li Ronghaos voice sang the taste of the old street in his impression, strolling in Chikan Old Street, looking for and feeling the taste of the exclusive Chikan Old Street. Chikan District is said to be a small commercial street in the Song Dynasty. Later, the sea ban was lifted. The merchants in the surrounding cities went from the sea to Chikan to do business, and finally formed a business atmosphere of Chikan prosperity. Therefore, the old town of Chikan has both winding and winding lanes, as well as western-style small houses, as well as the arcade buildings that the old streets of the coastal city have. I want to take pictures in the morning, and see the sun shining through the shade of the trees on the mottled old wall. Old Street, with a heavy history; the footsteps of the years have passed by, the silence has been noisy; the world has been crowded; the hidden city has condensed the essence of ancient merchants. Looking at the narrow and deep lanes, step on the bluestone steps to feel the quietness of the farewell. Old Street seems to be the soul of a city, witnessing the changes of history, bearing the local history, condensing the vicissitudes of life, giving birth to lingering memories. The old street is quiet but not quiet, because there are many people living here. They are the old people of Lao Cai. They lived here for decades and witnessed the vicissitudes of the old streets. History changes, the prosperity of Chikan ancient merchants disappeared, only the streets and docks that have been steadily declining still whispered its once glorious history.
