Next to the lighthouse in Dongzuitou Village, Huanglong Township, Shengsi This is not a popular island, but it has the purest East China Sea style. Dalezhiye Huanglong Island Lighthouse Store is located in Dongzuitou Village, Huanglong Township, Shengsi County, Zhoushan. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is adjacent to the century-old lighthouse, enjoying a secluded sea area. Departing from Shanghai or Hangzhou, you can take a boat to Sijiao Island via Shenjiawan Wharf, and then transfer to a passenger ship directly to Huanglong Island. It only takes 9 minutes to reach the hotel's exclusive wharf and start a slow life in the "off-island micro city". The hotel covers an area of ​​4,000 square meters and took six years to build. It is inspired by weathered rocks on the island and combines rough stone building materials with the original ecology of the fishing village. It not only retains the historical traces of the lighthouse, but also reshapes modern aesthetics with minimalist lines. The winding trail connects the lighthouse and the hotel, just like walking into a "maritime museum". Every design pays tribute to nature, while being full of the high-end sense of urban aesthetics. Yeyouka rooftop sea view cafe: hand-brewed coffee paired with salty sea breeze, cloud-like milk foam dancing with the waves. Yeyoujiu Infinity Pool Bar: Get tipsy in the twilight and watch the sunset fall into the infinity pool. Yeyoushi | 360° Seaside Restaurant: Freshly caught seafood paired with creative cuisine, a double feast for the taste buds and the eyes. After dinner, you may want to visit "Yeyouji", where fishermen's handmade products and island cultural and creative products are gathered. A fish bone artwork and a shell wind chime are all unique travel memories. Light chaser moment: at 5 a.m., wait for the first ray of dawn on the bare-chested mountain top; sit on the reef in the evening and watch the golden sunset sink into the horizon; daily life of wild islanders: ride a bicycle around the island to visit Zhiao fishing village and chat with the old man weaving nets; cultural venue: hold photography exhibitions, concerts, talk shows and even book clubs under the stars from time to time to let art resonate with the tide; parent-child time: children's playground and shallow water paddling pool let children run wild safely.

Dalezhiye Shengsi Huanglong Island Lighthouse Store is located next to the lighthouse in Dongzuitou Village, Huanglong Township, Shengsi County, Zhoushan. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is isolated from the world. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is an ideal place to escape from the daily routine with only the sound of waves and sea breeze. Departing from Shanghai or Hangzhou, you can take a boat to Sijiao Island via Shenjiawan Wharf, and then transfer to a passenger ship to reach Huanglong Island. The hotel provides a dock pick-up service, which takes 9 minutes to reach the secret land of mountains and seas. The Dalezhiye takes the "stone element" of Huanglong Island as its soul, integrating the rough texture of the island's weathered rocks into the architecture. The rubble stone walls, staggered terraces and lighthouse ruins are interwoven into a concerto of mountains and seas. The designer cleverly preserved the original ecology of the fishing village and used minimalist lines to outline modern aesthetics, making it like a "marine museum." When you open the window, you can see the reefs and waves, and when you turn around, you can see the light of the lighthouse. Every frame is a movie-level picture! There are only 28 rooms in the whole hotel, and the privacy is perfect! Each room embraces the East China Sea from a different angle: Sunrise Room: floor-to-ceiling windows facing east, with the dawn light leaping out of the sea level; Reef Room: overlooking the strange rocks of Chibo Mountain in the north, with the sound of waves hitting the reefs like a natural symphony; Sunset Room: with a south-facing terrace, the molten gold of the setting sun and the returning fishing boats are in the same frame. The facilities in the guest rooms are equally surprising: Dyson hair dryers, Marshall speakers, Casarte co-branded laundry rooms, luxury toiletries and other high-end configurations are all available, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty while feeling the comfort of home. Wildness and style coexist! Ye You Ka: A rooftop sea-view cafe where you can enjoy a latte while overlooking the dotted fishing boats and rolling clouds; Ye You Jiu: An infinity pool bar where you can get tipsy in the twilight while watching the sunset dye the skyline red; Ye You Shi: A 360-degree sea-view restaurant where you can enjoy a feast of freshly caught seafood and Shengsi homemade barbecue; Ye You Ji: A cultural and creative market where you can collect fishermen’s handmade products and take away a piece of island memory. Compared to the crowded popular islands, Huanglong Island is more like an untamed wild poet. There is no trace of commercialization here, only simple fishermen, white lighthouses and the ebb and flow of the tide. Here, time is measured by tides and freedom is as boundless as the sea breeze. The arrival of Dalezhiye has activated a new way of living on offshore islands, allowing people to take a break from the hustle and bustle and become a "wild islander" for a day.

I've always wanted to check in to this hotel in the summer, but I never had the chance. I recently got a super cheap price, so I came. I knew it was good value for money, but I didn't expect it to be so high! The hotel service is good, and I have always felt that InterContinental is different. The lobby view is amazing, comparable to the Westin Zhoushan. The lake view is like the sea, very open! I accidentally stayed in a room on the first floor, which was big, with a bathtub and a balcony, hahaha, and free afternoon tea, free dinner, and breakfast. The location is also convenient. It takes a few minutes to get to Tianyu Mountain. I was even more shocked when I went to the children's playground. The playground is very big and fun. Usually, it costs one or two hundred, which is really cost-effective. Seeing the infinity pool, I feel that summer is definitely beautiful. Although it is expensive in summer, it is indeed worth it.
