Located 15 kilometers southwest of Qinhuangdao city and 300 kilometers east of Beijing, Beidaihe is a seaside resort area on the Bohai Gulf. During the 19th century, the craggy coastline and beaches attracted Europeans living in nearby Tianjin , who built villas and bungalows there, transforming the fishing village into a pleasant seaside getaway.

With its soft, fine sand, gentle waves, and translucent waters, Beidaihe is now a very famous scenic spot and summer resort known for its mild climate and beautiful landscapes, and an ideal summer resort for swimming and sun bathing. Rising about 400 meters above sea level is the beautiful east and west Lianfeng Mountain located by the seashore. Lush pine and cypresses, secluded paths and winding bridges add to the area's beauty.

As an alluring coastal village with a small-town ambience, Beidaihe provides a welcome break from city life. Its charm lies mostly in its animated inhabitants, bustling night stalls and, of course, its seaside views. Offering long stretches of pebbled sands to small coves, it is a haven for travelers away from the city.

The Beidaihe Beach Resort stretches 10 kilometers east to west from the Yinjiao Pavilion to the mouth of the Daihe. There are plans in Changli, southwest of Beidaihe, to convert a local bathing beach into another resort. This naturally pristine beach is expected to attract millions of visitors from all over the world every summer.

The environment around Beidaihe is also very beautiful. Lianfeng Mountain, which backs onto the beach, boasts two peaks covered by abundant green pines and cypresses. Lush vegetation, exotic caves, decorated pavilions, secluded pathways and winding bridges cover the mountain, making it both unique and appealing. Looking down from Wanghaiting (Seaside Pavilion) at the top of the hill is the misty sea in all its carefree majesty. Beidaihe is also one of China's nine famous spots for catching the sunrise . The Yinjiao Pavilion, located on the northwest beach of Beidaihe, is the best place to watch the sunrise.
