The best way to shake off work stress is to get close to nature!

The best way to shake off work stress is to get close to nature! I treated myself to a seaside staycation over the weekend. Here’s my 3-day, 2-night🌊 laid-back family guide to Xiangshan! I’ve always wanted to take my kids to the beach, but Sanya and Pingtan were too far. So this time, we chose Xiangshan in Ningbo—just a 3-hour drive from Hangzhou—and had a relaxing three-day, two-night trip. It turned out to be perfect for a family getaway! Here’s your ultimate guide‼️ ✅ My itinerary: Day 1: Depart from Hangzhou → Ala de Sea (check my profile for the guide) Day 2: Stay at Xiangshan’s most beautiful B&B, "Niguang Xiaoshe" Day 3: Visit Songlan Mountain Resort for seaside views → Return to Hangzhou ✅ About the B&B: OMG! Finally stayed at this dreamy B&B I’ve been eyeing forever! It’s so French Riviera-style~ From the courtyard to the rooms, everything looks like a painting🖼️ Every corner is Instagram-worthy—my friends couldn’t stop asking about it! 🔸 Stunning pool: Tiffany-blue water + palm trees = instant French Riviera vibes⛱️ 🔸 Delicate afternoon tea: A variety of treats, both pretty and delicious🥞 🔸 Wood-fired pizza experience: Make your own pizza🍕 (remember to book in advance) 🔸 Special breakfast: Local Xiangshan seafood noodles🍜—so fresh it’ll blow your mind! 🔸 DIY workshop: Cookie baking—kids love it! 🔸 Nearby: Just a few minutes’ walk to Dongdan Beach!
