Art and nature meet along Beidaihe's shoreline

A springtime paradise for bird-watchers, Beidaihe — the coastal resort area in Qinhuangdao, Hebei province — has now entered its peak season as a summer retreat, drawing visitors from across the country.

In recent years, local authorities and businesses have partnered with cultural institutions and artists to transform the Bohai Sea shoreline into a vibrant stage for art and theater, enriching the visitor experience while boosting tourism.

One result of these efforts is the Resea Coastal Public Art Season. Its second edition opened on May 26 and runs through Oct 7, bringing a new wave of artistic engagement to the seaside destination.
