Beihai locals tell you that we will not go to Weizhou Island to eat seafood. The seafood in Weizhou Island is more expensive than that in Beihai. During the National Day, some people sold the 150 boat tickets to 600. So don’t go to Weizhou Island. If you go there, you can eat dumplings.

Where do we locals in Beihai usually go to eat seafood? We locals eat seafood at home... If you are a tourist, it is recommended not to eat big fish or prawns, but to go to Qiaogang, which is similar to a snack street with more shops. Order some oysters and stir-fried snails, and a bowl of crab noodle. The price is clearly marked so you don’t have to worry about getting ripped off. Then try Hua Qiao’s Vietnamese roll noodles and pineapple ice.

If you really have to eat seafood, don’t eat at the food stalls in Overseas Chinese, Silver Beach or Old Street. I’m especially reminded not to eat at the food stalls next to Ocean Window, which are notoriously shady restaurants. When you go shopping in the city, look for places where there are many people and the voices sound like locals, then you can eat there. There is usually seafood, and the most popular ones are shrimps, sandworms, and individual marine fish. There are many ways to cook them. It’s also relatively affordable. There are many food stalls opened by Beihai locals in the vegetable garden south of Beibuwan Plaza in the city center and behind Anshangdu. You can try them.

The key is that locals in Beihai rarely rip off people, and the prices are clearly marked. Many black shops in Beihai are opened by outsiders. If they get stinky, they change their names or move to another place to continue robbing people...
