Summer has quietly arrived, making it the perfect time to embark on a seaside getaway. Today (May 6), DotDotNews takes you to the Lover's Dyke at Shuangyue Bay in Huizhou, offering a practical yet romantic travel guide to help you plan a spontaneous sunset date!
Shuangyue Bay Lover's Dyke has long been renowned for its romantic atmosphere and breathtaking scenery, making it a hidden gem for many couples and photography enthusiasts. A long, straight pier stretches out into the sea, resembling a "corridor in the ocean." On clear days, the blue sky and azure sea merge at the horizon, and walking along the pier feels like floating in the center of a vast, azure world. And when the sun sets and the afterglow spreads across the sea, the entire embankment is bathed in a warm orange hue, truly taking the romance factor to the max.
How to Get There and When to Go: This Article Has All the Answers
Directions: Shuangyue Bay Lover's Dyke (or "Boss P3 Parking Lot"; a 3-minute walk from the parking lot leads directly to the dam)
Ticket: Free
Best Time: 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm (the golden hour at sunset, when the sky transitions from blue to orange and pink, creating stunning light and shadow effects)
Where to Stand and How to Shoot: 4 Tips to Master Social Media
Creating a Sense of Depth on the Dam: Stand in the middle of the dam and shoot from a low angle, using the dam's lines to lead the eye toward the lighthouse and the setting sun in the distance. Wear a flowing long skirt or a light-colored shirt, and capture the moment when the wind catches the hem of your skirt.
Silhouette at Sunset: Stand with your back to the setting sun and face the ocean, arms outstretched or gently sweeping your hair aside, and capture a silhouette from behind. Turn your body slightly to the side, revealing your jawline and the contours of your arms, as the setting sun frames you in a golden glow.
Interactive Photo Tips: Crouch at the edge of the dam to play in the waves (please stay safe), or run hand-in-hand with a friend to capture the moment you jump. Scenes of waves splashing against your feet are full of narrative charm.
Close-up Details: Capture the rocks along the seawall, seashells eroded by the waves, or the overlapping shadows of two people at sunset. Accompany the photo with the caption: "The sunsets we chased together are gentler than the evening glow."
What to Wear and Bring: Avoid These Pitfalls
Outfit: Wear a long skirt in light colors (white, beige, pale pink) or bright colors (red, yellow) to contrast with the blue sky and turquoise sea; a straw hat and a woven bag will enhance the vacation vibe.
Equipment: Smartphone portrait mode for background blur; camera telephoto lens for a compressed perspective.
Tips: Avoid weekend afternoons and opt for weekday evenings instead; UV rays are extremely strong at the beach, so don't forget to bring SPF 50+ sunscreen and sunglasses.
Don't rush off after capturing the sunset! Head to the "Yishan Hai · Xiao Hai Bian Sea View Coffee Western Restaurant" at the entrance to the dam. From the second-floor floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lover's Dyke, order an iced Americano and enjoy the night view; or visit the harbor market to buy freshly caught seafood to be prepared on the spot—for just RMB 50 per person, you can eat until you're full.
Sunset is Free: Romance is Worth the Wait
The sunset at Lover's Dyke is a free dose of romance, but beauty requires patience. Bring your loved one, stroll hand in hand through the orange twilight, and let the sound of the waves and your heartbeats become the sweetest memories of this summer!
