Went to Aranya in late autumn. A long time ago travel plan. Because of the lonely library, no one wants to be lonely, and everyone longs for loneliness.
Speaking of which, going to Aranya was an accident. I originally planned to go to Chongqing, but I made appointments with several friends but the time was staggered. It happened that my best friend from Beijing, Bingbing, asked me if I would go to Aranya. All sorts of things tempt me. Okay, let’s go~
Although I grew up in a coastal area, the sea I saw growing up was turbid offshore. Facing the blue sea, I have full vision.
In Aranya, I walked slowly along the sidewalk from the hotel to the seaside. When the stone embankment burst into view, I felt like I was back in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. At that moment, I knew that traveling with ease is the most surprising.
If there are three moments in Aranya that make my heart beat the most, they are:
It was still dark in the morning and I went out without putting on makeup. Because the clothes were too thin, I could only hide my hands in my sleeves like a Korean aunt and walk quickly to the beach. Running in the streets of Aranya very obscenely.
But, on this day, I saw the most complete sunrise this year.
Walking on the beach at dusk, you can see the wavy beach formed by the sea water and the remnants of the waves, creating a wonderful and beautiful sparkling scene.
If you find the right angle, you can shoot the ending theme of a Japanese comic.
And after taking pictures of the sunset and freezing to death, I walked quickly to the Yellow River and the sea, and ate a bowl of hot mutton noodles.
For northerners, Aranya in November is not the best season. But, for a southerner who has lived in Guangzhou for 3 years. That's the beach in autumn. There will be golden ginkgo trees and autumn leaves will fall! What's more, there are not many people, and the accommodation fee is directly broken.
This is the best season for southerners to see the Northern Sea! There are still a lot of people in Aranya in the off-season, but compared to the crowded summer, people are scattered on the beach in autumn.
This trip to Aranya is a short trip, only 2 days and 1 night. So, I’ll just share the points I’ve checked out. Below are some points I have checked on Amway. Avoid stepping on thunder.
[ Lonely Library ]
If you want to find loneliness here, you are wrong. Aerial photography can capture endless loneliness, but Aranya is prohibited from flying without permission. In addition, it was famous, there were too many people, and there was a real estate building far behind.
It takes a long time to capture the loneliness of empty shots. I was too cold and I gave up on being alone.
The inside of the library is very comfortable, but photography is prohibited. I think this initiative is very good. If you want to take photos and check in, it will be over. No one will be able to have a quiet reading space. Sitting on the sofa in the lonely library facing the sea, I felt a little lonely.
When the lamp on the bookshelf was lit, I stood alone and read "I Went to the Ball at Chandler's Well." This is my favorite moment in this library.
If you want to be alone, pick a book in the library, sit down and read facing the sea. If you want lonely photos, you don’t have to go to the library, just get up early and squat in an empty space.
P.S. Reservation is required to enter the library. Reservations can be made through the mini program (you can also make reservations if you don’t live in Aranya).
You can also download the Anaya app to make a reservation (only open to guests who book accommodation within Anaya)
【Anaya Auditorium】
My favorite building in the whole journey. Under different lights and shadows, every angle is so beautiful. It’s easier to photograph loneliness than a lonely library (mainly because it’s far away from the real estate). I came for the Lonely Library and ended up falling in love with the Aranya Auditorium.
The different light and shadow refraction at sunrise and sunset are beautiful. Even when I look back at the photos now, I still feel sincerely, what a beautiful light.
Unfortunately, there are still many people.
I squatted here for almost an hour, and squatted on the central axis for 30 minutes, but I couldn't take a picture of the sky. I was so angry that I gave up smoothly. It was better to go back and eat bread than take pictures.
▲This is my P’s sky
When there are fewer people, it should be an hour after the sun rises, around 8 to 9 o'clock in autumn and winter, but the light at this time is very straight and dull, which is not fun.
Therefore, there were only 3 to 4 people filming at the time, and I chose to give up. After all, I think the most interesting thing about the Aranya Auditorium is the soft and changeable sunlight hitting the building.
The latest buns from Acun Bakery are more tempting to me.
P.S. Reservation is required to enter the Aranya Auditorium. In the same way, reservations can be made on the Aranya app. However, photos are not allowed.
【Dune Art Museum】
Personally I think it's average. I feel like it copied the design elements of Japan’s Chichu Museum of Art + Teshima Museum of Art. (Don’t fight me, I’ll fight you)
▲The shooting angle of Xiaohongshu that has been posted a lot
The wall is shaped like a nose
It is on display during the experience, please pay attention to... the installation art of the series . Personally, I think it’s so so. Considering that the per capita ticket price is 45, there’s nothing to complain about. It’s not expensive and you can go there, but I don’t recommend it. I recommend it if you just take pictures at the door.
P.S. You can reserve tickets through the Aranya app. It is cheaper to buy a double ticket than to buy a single ticket x 2. Feel free to take photos inside the exhibition.
【Old Things Warehouse 】
Because I love Xiamen tiles so much, I went there. pretty good. You can take photos in the tiled corridor. (Okay, actually it’s a short corridor)
My best friend and I took our only photo together using the corridor mirror (･_･;
Simply put, it is a specialty store. Suitable for posing. Both inside and outside.
【No. 27 North • The Yellow River enters the sea】
Before going to Aranya, Fenfenanli gave it to me. Bingbing and I took it for 2 days in a row, and it was really ok!
Especially when we ran back to the living area from the beach, our hands were red from the cold, and we ordered a soup noodle. The healing feeling of winter is in this steaming bowl of noodles in front of you.
I’m super good at mutton braised noodles! I can do potatoes, I can do apricot peel water! We ate there for 2 days in a row! The best value for money in Aranya, the first choice for delicious food is the Yellow River into the sea!
However, my best friend and I think kebabs are soso. There’s also the baked rice cake or something, which, as a dessert lover, makes me tired of it.
The Yellow River entering the sea has long impressed my aesthetics and taste buds. The little yellow stool is so cute, and even the reeds swinging in the wind at the door make me happy.
BTW, there is a guy from Yellow River into the sea who is so stylish, the type that makes people want his WeChat account.
【A Cun Bakery】
The bread was baked freshly and I had the earliest baked bread of the day. The coconut bread tastes good, and the orange diced bread is also good. If I hadn't seen a piece of hair when the sisters shared, I would have loved him even more... The coffee is self-service from a Starbucks machine.
[Small hot pot in the first cafeteria]
It's just an ordinary hot pot, nothing special. From all angles, it's just an edible hot pot. If you want to eat hot pot, go there, you don’t have to go there specifically. Come on, I am a person who has been studying in Chongqing for 4 years. Am I not qualified to comment on hot pot? Just and confident.jpg
"An Lan"
There are many hotels and B&Bs in Anaya. My best friend ordered Anlan, and I think this is the most economical and affordable option in Aranya.
The room is not ugly, just normal hotel standard. The service was excellent. The location is in the living area, very close to cinemas and canteens, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the beach.
【Collect seaside】
Going to the beach is my annual travel plan. In mid-October, like a scumbag, I kept asking PLMM to go see the sea and eat like crazy. It seems that I want to make up for the loss of not being able to travel due to the epidemic this year.
The sunrise and sunset on the seaside that Fenfen and Shiting were not satisfied with in Fujian were doubled in Aranya.
The stone seawall, the blue sea, and the passing seagulls make you feel like you have returned to the Seto Inland Sea.
A participatory installation at Dune Art Museum. It asks, what are you most worried about at this moment, and what gives you hope. I wrote on the stationery: unknown & unknown.
Not every sea has clear skies. However, if we don’t choose to set out, we will never have the sunrise and sunset. The unknown journey makes me worried and full of expectations.
So, next time, next time, I will still choose this way. Let's go, put on your skirt and expectations, and go see the sea!
