Hello Steem Blockchain!

I have this awesome little beach near my home in China and I am surprised I don't spend a lot of time there. For one thing: there is a Shangri-La hotel there with a stellar lunch buffet. Another thing is that it is such a nice place to take a stroll and go swimming.

I think when most people think of beaches in China, they think it is some dirty, overcrowded place with and polluted water.

I have been to several beaches and have never had that bad of a problem. I took a trip to this beach at the end of June and this is what it looked like!

Does it look dirty to you? Overcrowded?

Nah...

The key to finding a good beach in China is to be located in a small city. There are huge megacities that have beaches but they will probably be crowded and dirty. What you need to do is find the smaller cities that don't have as much tourism and go there. My city, Qinhuangdao, is a little over 2 hours away from Beijing by high speed rail. You can actually have a good time here. The water isn't so bad either. I don't mind swimming in the sea in China. Yeah, I might be cautious to swim in a lake or river here, but the sea is vast enough that you'll probably be OK in these waters. Here, you can swim in the Bohai Sea which is located in the northeast coast of China.

I talk about this more in my video! Check it out!
