For the May Day outing, experience the Zhejiang version of the MacLehose Trail with mountains and seas

I just came back from Xiangshan this weekend, and here's a guide and Tips for the Songlan Mountain scenic area: 1. If you're just looking to see the sea without climbing the mountain, the parking lot is very close to Dongsha Beach, just a 100 meters walk away. From Dongsha Beach to the Asian Sailing Center, it's a 7.5-kilometer walk along the seaside plank road, which is quite comfortable when it's not raining. 2. Since it's a free scenic area, there are basically no shuttle buses, so be prepared to walk. If you really can't walk anymore, you can rent a four-person electric cart or a two-person bicycle at the parking lot and Dongsha Beach area. 3. Dining places are concentrated around Baisha Beach. If you need accommodation, it's also recommended to choose the Baisha Beach area, where there's more food, and it's closer to the temple and the Asian Sailing Center. 4. The reef coffee shop and the seaside post office are both located near the glass plank road, between Dongsha Beach and Central Beach. 5. The area is full of reefs, and the mountains are also rocky. The starting point for mountain hiking and trekking is in Zhaili Village. The ascent is quite steep, and it can be slippery when it rains. If there's fog, the coastline is not clear, so it's not recommended. There are two trekking routes available, and the paths are well-marked by banners from various outdoor clubs, so the routes are quite mature.
