Hangzhou is just an hour away, hiding this lesser-known romantic seaside town

Surrounding Hangzhou, there lies a treasure town filled with ancient streets and towns, numerous temples, and historic residences. 🌊 This place is not only ideal for watching the Qiantang tidal bore but also a holy site for admiring the late cherry blossoms in spring—Haining. Here are several spots to check in; if you prefer less crowded places during holidays, this is a great choice for a short trip! ✅ Haishen Temple Referred to as the 'Forbidden City of the South,' its main hall is built in imitation of the Forbidden City's Hall of Supreme Harmony, with a grand and majestic structure that is quite rare in the southern regions. The temple's century-old history seems to bridge the past and present, solemn and mysterious. ✅ Tidal Bore Viewing Park This is the top spot in Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the autumn season, where the roaring tides line up neatly, known as the 'Haining Pagoda Line Tidal Bore.' On regular days, there are many historical sites to visit, such as the fish scale stone ponds, the Ming Dynasty Zhan Ao Tower, and Sun Yat-sen's Tidal Bore Pavilion. ✅ Haining Yanguan Qiantang Cherry Blossom Forest Besides historical sites, there is also a cherry blossom sanctuary by the sea, where vast cherry blossom forests bloom spectacularly, and late cherry blossoms flourish around Qingming Festival. During holidays, you can't miss the spring market and camping festival here, experiencing romance under the cherry trees. ✅ Yanguan Fragrant Grassland RV Campsite If you want to experience camping without bringing equipment, you can stay directly in the campsite, where RVs are fully equipped, and you can enjoy delicious wild meals and barbecues. 🙌Tips1: The cherry blossom forest here is very pristine, remember to take your trash with you when you leave. 🙌Tips2: Be mindful of the wind by the sea and check the weather; sunny days offer a better experience.
