Recommendations
If for the first time you yourself go to the beach, focus on the Pineapple shopping center. It is located next to the sea. Hotel guests are not advised to eat in small cafes, which abound in a lively area. They are dirty, the furniture is old, and workers do not comply with sanitary standards.
A modest lunch for two adults in an institution with a higher rank costs 500 rubles. If you go to a decent restaurant, you will have to pay 1,200 for a meal. It is more profitable to change money in Russia, and not in China.
