Ningbo Xiangshan Seaview Crown Holiday Hotel 🌈Some people say that Xiangshan, Zhejiang, hides China's Maldives. Although it's a bit exaggerated, Xiangshan in June indeed has a tropical style similar to Sanya, Hainan. Maybe we northerners are ignorant, we don't know much about Xiangshan. This time we checked in at the Ningbo Xiangshan Seaview Crown Holiday Hotel, which has long been a popular spot on the internet, and found that it is really an underestimated leisure resort🔮. 🌈The hotel is located in the Shihpu Half Mountain Scenic Area in Xiangshan, built by the mountain and near the sea, with excellent natural environment. This Crown Holiday Hotel is huge, composed of several buildings. The main building on the beach faces the sea, surrounded by a wide independent beach. The indoor swimming pool is beautifully designed, and the 2000 square meter outdoor swimming pool is even more stunning. When the weather is good, every shot is a blockbuster. 🌈The interior decoration incorporates a lot of marine elements, fishing boats, fish baskets, net ropes, ripples and other design inspirations from the sea can be seen everywhere. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby are sparkling, and the ocean holiday atmosphere is overwhelming. In the evening, there is a laser water show in the lobby, and the changing water waves in the light and shadow are very eye-catching. 🌈The executive building is on the hillside, facing the distant mountains on one side and overlooking the entire bay on the other. The executive lounge is brightly colored and uniquely designed, full of tropical style. The executive building also has a popular infinity pool, which can take pictures of the effect of blending with the sea. A set of ocean-themed afternoon tea , a glass of rose wine🍾, a leisurely seaside afternoon. 🌈Almost all the rooms in the hotel can see the sea. The executive room I stayed in is very large, with a light and elegant color scheme, simple and comfortable, with a large balcony, and a comfortable large sofa on the balcony. Look at the mountains and the sea🌊, and daze🤔. 🌈Get up early to watch the sunrise🌅 in the room, ride a small electric car🛵 up the winding road, wild flowers on the roadside, ripe bayberries falling from the branches, lost little crabs crawling in front of the car, the distant mudflats, small islands, fishing boats form a light and elegant ink painting, the summer of the East China Sea is intoxicating.

Here are some of the lesser-known and more pleasant places I think are worth visiting: 1. Zhaoxing Dong Village in Guizhou: Known as the place on the edge of time, the quaint Dong village, unique Dong architecture and folk culture make people linger. 2. Fuxian Lake in Yunnan: A piece of jade hidden between mountains and waters, with clear water and beautiful scenery, it is a great place to relax. 3. Nan'ao Island, Zhejiang: The scenery on the coastal highway is picturesque, and on sunny days, you can see the sea and sky in one, which is very suitable for self-driving tours. 4. Songyang, Fujian: Known as the last secret place in Jiangnan, it has many ancient villages and beautiful landscapes, making people feel as if they are in a paradise. 5. Zhuhai Chimelong Paradise: This urban paradise has both amusement facilities and marine animal performances, making it a place suitable for the whole family to play. 6. Taishun, Fujian: the hometown of Chinese covered bridges, with ancient and unique covered bridge architecture and beautiful landscapes. 7. Yushan Island, Zhejiang: With clear water and beautiful scenery, it is an island suitable for camping and sea fishing, allowing people to feel the vastness and beauty of the sea. 8. Xixinan Ancient Village in Jiangxi: This Huizhou-style ancient village has beautiful landscapes and quaint buildings, making people feel as if they have returned to ancient times. Although these places are relatively unpopular, they all have unique charm and beauty and are worth a visit. I hope these recommendations help you!

Learning makes me happy~~ : Its full, and the fire can be fried. Bergamot: Guangdong is called the sea chicken claw, the scientific name barnacle. It looks like a shellfish on the island outside Zhoushan. It is like peeling the palm and the sea otter. It has the same patience as the sea cucumber, which means the Buddha seal of Putuo Mountain.

Sauted with scallion is still quite fragrant, and the plate looks beautiful too! braised small octopus: recommended, small octopus ones are very full Q, bite a lot of meat, so satisfied.

On the shores of the East China Sea, the Shipu Peninsula in Xiangshan, Ningbo unfolds like an ink-wash scroll, where emerald-green mountains stretch from the mainland into the sea. ✅ Elegant Getaway in a Fishing Water Town ——Leisurely Enjoyment of the Seasons in a Quadrangle Courtyard The Banshan Guantang Hotel dominates half of the resort area, facing the colorful fishing town across the water, surrounded by winding streams and three arched bridges standing side by side. From the parking lot to the lobby for check-in and then to your room, shuttle service is available throughout. While this is part of the hotel's thoughtful service, strolling through the alleys is also a delight. Walking along the winding cobblestone paths, you'll find classical-style buildings on both sides—white walls with dark tiles, rustic wooden doors slightly ajar, and lanterns hanging under upturned eaves, exuding the charm of a typical water town. The lobby, guest rooms, dining areas, tea rooms, banquet halls, and gym are all nestled within these quaint buildings, blending seamlessly with the ancient town. Yet, the hotel's inherent fishing-town heritage sets it apart from other ancient towns. From spaces and courtyards named with maritime elements like "Fishing Bay Restaurant," "Sand Crab Paradise," "Blue Tears Bar," "Listening to the Sea," and "Treading the Waves," to the school-of-fish chandelier in the lobby, the massive anchors and rudders displayed along the paths, and the marine-themed details throughout the public areas—every corner reflects Shipu's local culture. Vacationing in a Jiangnan-style courtyard by the sea, free from bustling crowds, you can enjoy dappled sunlight under the trees on sunny days or sit leisurely listening to the rain tapping on the eaves when it's wet. The scenery varies beautifully with the seasons, and the time spent in the quadrangle courtyard is always serene and unhurried. Activities like Song-style tea ceremonies, Hanfu dress-up experiences, or dressing as a fisherwoman for travel photos are also unique pleasures you can unlock at Guantang.

| Super Chill French Riviera-Style Seaside B&B. Xiangshan Staycation | Super Chill French Riviera-Style Seaside B&B Niguang Youshe Homestay Located in Dongdan Village, just a 10-minute walk to the beach The blue hour by the seaside at dusk is stunning, though you can only catch the sunrise here We stayed in the Sunset 04 Garden View Room – the window overlooks a lush little garden (no direct sea view), but the scenery is still quite lovely The mini-bar was stocked with fruits, Evian, Panna mineral water, Coke, Sprite... and even wine glasses!! You can bring your own wine for a cozy evening, though we couldn't find toilet or bathtub covers. For a homestay at this price point, they could be more thoughtful The common areas are absolutely gorgeous!! The lobby features an entire wall of seashell specimens The French-style pool and Southeast Asian-inspired courtyard are super photogenic. At night, there’s a starry pool and sweet bedtime soup You can also pre-book pizza-making sessions with a wood-fired oven (freshly baked!) The homestay’s full-course meals are said to be delicious too (requires one-day advance booking). We went to Shipu for dinner, so we didn’t try them! But the next day’s breakfast – seafood noodles and osmanthus-flavored rice buns – truly impressed me Breakfast is semi-buffet style with a fixed main (seafood noodles), though the spread is limited: drinks are just coffee and milk, bread is only toast, and there are only a few fruits/veggies
