Ningbo is really strict, Zhejiang's largest free beach has no rumors

Don't ask, it's not Jeju Island, it's Songlanshan in Xiangshan 🌈Sunny day in Ningbo Xiangshan, no one told me the sea in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai is so beautiful too. The blue sea, INS-style cafes, and Korean drama vibe swings, totally pretending to be Jeju Island series. 📍Detailed address: Songlanshan Coastal Tourism Resort Area, Ningbo ⛱️ 🚉Transportation guide: Navigation to the attraction name, self-driving can park on the roadside. . ✔️Asian Sailing Center and Lighthouse: The venue for sailing and windsurfing competitions of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, with a huge square. If driving, you can park here and rent a four-person electric cart to the Asian Sailing Lighthouse (5 minutes), or walk for 15 minutes. Another red lighthouse is on the opposite shore, accessible by driving along the path extending to the sea. Check-in tour route (walk along the coast from north to south): Xiangshan Asian Sailing Center and Lighthouse — Asian Sailing Viewing Platform — Baishawan Beach — Taiji Bay Surfing Beach — Central Beach — Coastal Post Office — Glass Viewing Platform — Reef Coffee — East Beach — Hydrological Station — South Beach 🕙Opening hours: No time limit 🎫Tickets: All the above attractions are free 👍Top recommendations: [One]✔️Baishawan Beach: The beach in front of Xiangshan Greentown Sheraton Hotel, open to the public. Usually after 3-4 pm when the tide recedes, you can catch small crabs. There are also beautiful couple-style swings. [Two]✔️Taiji Bay Surfing Beach: Features a popular deadwood swing with a full Korean drama vibe; coastal reefs create a sense of loneliness by the sea, fine sand, very photogenic. [Three]✔️Central Beach: Has a white Japanese-style swing, a large mirror and other check-in installations, and a lonely bar, perfect for staring at the sea and daydreaming. [Four]✔️Reef Coffee: At the entrance to the café, there is a coastal post office where you can buy small souvenirs or send postcards home. Further ahead is a glass walkway, like stepping into a movie scene. The innermost Reef Coffee is pure white INS style, very photogenic. [Five]✔️East Beach: You can enjoy water activities like sailing, kayaking, and water biking. [Six]✔️Hydrological Station: Visited at the end of April, the exterior was under maintenance, requires walking uphill. [Seven]✔️South Beach: There is a South Beach Art Center and Intangible Cultural Heritage Workshop by the shore, and not far away is Songlan Marine Amusement Park. 🏠Accommodation: Ningbo Xiangshan Greentown Sheraton Resort Hotel 🍽Dining recommendation: Avoid the "See the Sea" sea view restaurant, limited menu, waits start from 1 hour, better to get a refund and leave. It is recommended to go to the nearby Damu Bay Youpin Plaza, which has more options, such as Mother-in-law’s Home Chinese Restaurant. 📝Tips: Apply sunscreen well! UV rays are very strong by the sea. Bring a pair of hole shoes for water activities. The waves have swept all worries into the beach.
