A dry wind rolls off the South China Sea and scours the slope of the pink sand dune as you climb—sand whispering under bare feet, horizons stripped down to sun and color. The walk begins on a narrow track past fishing boats and salt pans, then opens onto low, rippled ridgelines where dawn and dusk turn the dunes a surprising, warm rose.

Carry at least 2 liters of water per person; take short breaks in shaded spots and monitor kids for heat exposure.
