Experience a laid-back vibe while catching great waves at Houhai Beach. Known as the surfing capital of China, this spot gets great swells and the nearby village is located in the middle of a promontory, so you get waves on both sides. Even if you’re not a surfer, you can enjoy the serenity of this beach as you stroll. But, during the surfing season from October to April, this beach comes alive with surfers, swimmers, and tourists checking out the waves and hitting up the seaside bars for a fun vacation.
