About Anaya

Aranya is a community. In layman's terms, it is a high-end community (this is how I understand it), with relatively complete facilities and a private beach inside.

Aranya is a private beach, and only the owners and hotel guests can enter it. You need to take your ID card to register at the homestay center at the entrance of the community. If you drive by yourself, you need to tell the hotel staff the license plate number for reporting, so that you can enter and leave the community, and the parking fee is waived. The parking fee is 20 yuan a day. The Aranya community is relatively large, and you can drive by yourself in it, and there are also sightseeing cars in scenic spots.

weather

When I went to Aranya at the end of February, the temperature was relatively warm during the day when the sun was shining, and the temperature difference between day and night was large. You should bring a thick coat during this time period. There is smog in Aranya from time to time, and the blue sky cannot be photographed when there is smog. This depends on luck.

transportation

I went there by car, and I can also take a high-speed train. The nearest station to Aranya is Changli Station, which is a train station. Beidaihe Station, which is farther away, has a high-speed rail station, and Qinhuangdao Station is a little further away. Personally, I recommend self-driving. There is still a relatively large area in Aranya where you can drive. There are also many parking spaces, and there are also sightseeing cars inside.

Anaya Auditorium

The overall color of the Aranya Church is mainly white, with a simple design. The Aranya auditorium is not big, and you can enter it with tickets. There is a whole floor-to-ceiling window in front of it, and there are five rows of chairs. The staff will remind you not to take pictures. The interior of the auditorium is very similar to the water church designed by Tadao Ando, ​​but there is one thing that if you take wedding photos at the hotel in Aranya, they can take you into the auditorium to take pictures.

The sand on Aranya Beach is very fine, it is very soft to step on, and the shoes will sink, so it is tiring to walk, so it is best to wear sports shoes when you come. There are many devices on the beach that can be used to take pictures. There are a lot of ins-style light yellow reed grass planted on the beach of Aranya seaside. You can make a big picture with just a photo. The photo comes with a light yellow filter. A lot of reed grass is used for decoration in the whole community, which can be seen everywhere. Cars can be parked on the beach, and there are parking spaces on both sides of the road.

The trestle bridge in the distance leads directly to the sea. When it is foggy, the sea surface is hazy, and the end of the bridge cannot be seen. It seems to lead to a magical space, which is very artistic. There are many net red swings on the beach. Sitting on the swings and looking into the distance, quietly dazed, looking at the beautiful scenery around you is a way of vacation. The whole side of the seaside cafe is made of transparent glass, so you can directly look at the sea. On a winter afternoon, ordering a cup of coffee, reading a favorite book, and listening to music are all wonderful things.



There is a stage transformed from a container on the beach, with a bright yellow hue, which looks cool. There will be stage performances here during the tourist season. On the left side of the container is the Aranya Auditorium. Now the second floor of the container can overlook the surrounding scenery. It is also suitable for taking pictures here. Compared with the natural scenery of the beach and the sea, the stage of container transformation is more modern. If you like to be lively, please contact us during the peak season. If you want to take pictures, you can come in February and March. There will be much fewer tourists at this time.

There is a hint of coolness in the air in Aranya at night. Because it is Monday, there are few people, and the night is very quiet. There are basically no people on the beach. Only the Aranya auditorium is lit. Compared with the crowds in the daytime, Aranya at night Standing alone on the beach is extraordinarily lonely and ethereal. At night, you can enjoy the auditorium that belongs to you alone. There is a slight temperature difference between morning and evening. If you come, you should bring a thick coat to rest and keep warm.

Aranya at night is very quiet. There are no noisy crowds during the day, only the sound of waves in the distance. The whole beach belongs to you. At this time, no one will steal the spotlight when taking pictures. You can think about the composition and shoot at this time Your blockbuster is coming. Before I came here, I saw someone taking pictures of fireworks here on the Internet, so I bought small fireworks in advance, so that the photos were very interesting. However, because the weather was too cold, I took two photos in a hurry and returned to the hotel.

lonely library

The library is closed on Mondays and closes at 5pm every day. It is also not allowed to take pictures inside, there are drinks to order inside, and the side facing the sea is floor-to-ceiling glass, it is quite good to be in a daze.

Dune Art Museum

The Dune Art Museum is closed on Monday, so if you want to go, check the date in advance to avoid the closing time. There is a large viewing platform on the top of the Dune Art Museum overlooking part of the beach.

There are some mountain-shaped art installations on the beach in front of the Dune Art Museum, mainly for taking pictures. The side of the Dune Art Museum close to the sea photographed by aerial photography has three large circular exteriors. There are many light holes on the top of the Art Museum. The museum is hidden in the dunes, so it is called the Dune Art Museum. The Dune Art Museum is at the farthest point, and the main entrance is on the side close to the road.

first canteen

There are three canteens in Aranya, and some independent restaurants. When we went, only the first canteen was open. The dining form of the cafeteria is the same as that of IKEA. You queue up to pick up the food and clean up the table by yourself. The per capita is about 50 yuan, and some prices are for reference: Malatang 16 yuan, beef noodles 27 yuan, egg persimmon 19 yuan, roast sausage 9 yuan, milk tea 10 yuan, dishes are slightly more expensive than 20 yuan a small portion.

stay

There are four main hotels in Aranya: Pulan (closest to the sea), Anlan, Club Med, and Hermitage. I booked a B&B in Tujia, the name is Pulan Villa, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and one living room with a yard, because we are four adults and one child. The homestay is less than 300 meters away from the sea, which is the row of villas closest to the sea. When you check in, the hotel will give you a map, tickets to Aranya and the library. You must register with your ID card at the homestay center at the entrance of the community.
The overall homestay is dominated by beige tones, giving people a warm feeling. The master bedroom on the second floor has a bathtub, and the second bedroom has an open-air balcony. There is a small slide in the living room on the first floor, which is very suitable for living with children, and children like it very much. There is a kitchen on the first floor, and the appliances are complete. In the morning, I used the microwave of the hotel to heat up breakfast. The mineral water in the room is unique to the Aranya community with the Aranya logo printed on it. There are also spare umbrellas, in short, the daily necessities are very complete. There are tables in the yard, and you can drink tea and chat outside in summer.

Cinema

The small town cinema in the Aranya community is the most beautiful cinema I have ever seen. Golden furniture decoration, white space, full of ins style, more like a coffee shop, even if you don't watch movies, you can stay here comfortably. The corridors of the cinema are very characteristic, with geometric cross ceilings and sloped ceilings, visually higher and more extensible, which increases the effect of the space. There are also a lot of movies in the cinema, and you can also watch the ones that have just been released here.

seaside market

The seaside market is also very beautiful, which is very suitable for taking pictures. The seaside market is actually a small supermarket. It seems that this is the only place to buy things in the community, mainly some food, but it is relatively expensive. A box of strawberries is 50 yuan, and a board of Yakult is 15 yuan. If you are hungry at night, you can go to the late-night cafeteria by the sea to eat. It will open from that night until the next morning, and the chefs in the cafeteria will take turns to be on duty. So it is very convenient to eat.

An Lan Hotel
Anlan Hotel is next to the Wetland Sports Park, and you can see the view from the window. In terms of design, the traditional tubular structure of hotels is broken, and the living room and bedrooms are arranged horizontally, with two-way viewing.
