A weekend on the Huizhou coast
Soph and her friends take a girls' beach weekend in Huizhou, Guangdong, China, about an hour from Shenzhen. They stay in two apartments booked next to each other. The apartments have spacious living areas and views of the beach. On the sand, Soph notices that many Chinese visitors wear regular clothes, including jeans and socks, to limit sun exposure. This differs from the beach clothing she is used to seeing in the West. Curious local children approach the group, creating friendly interactions during the visit.
The group finds food readily available. They eat street food, including hot dogs and pizza, and later have a Chinese barbecue. Finding vegetarian food in China can take some searching, but the friends eventually enjoy a vegetarian-friendly barbecue meal. During the afternoon they relax on the beach, play games, and watch jet skis. The video also includes time for ice cream and a quiet final moment by the water.
Evening activities and everyday stops
At night, the beach area has music and fireworks, and Soph sees an orange moon. The weekend also includes an Easter Sunday egg hunt at the apartment. A visit to a local supermarket offers a look at everyday products and a noodle preparation method. Soph presents the supermarket as an easy place to visit during a holiday, as well as a way to see some local routines.
The trip closes with the friends spending one more relaxing moment on the beach before they return to Shenzhen. Soph's account combines a coastal stay close to a major city with practical observations about beach attire, food, accommodation, and local amenities. The weekend includes social encounters with children, beach games, an evening out, and a holiday activity with friends, while showing that a nearby beach destination can be paired with ordinary stops such as a supermarket.
