⚠️

⚠️ Pitfall Tips

Save money, time & hassle
Beer Festival price surge
During the August Beer Festival, hotels and food prices jump—skip the period if you're on a budget.
Seaside sun care
The sea breeze feels cool but UV is strong—sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses are essential.
Zhanqiao crowds
Zhanqiao is packed in peak season; arrive before 8 a.m. if you want empty shots.
Seafood pricing
Always confirm whether seafood is priced by weight or per serving, and watch the scale to avoid being overcharged.
Sea-fog season
From May to July sea fog cuts visibility—check the forecast before planning sea views or sunrises.
