#Zhuhai Hotel Staying at Zhuhai Dong'ao Island Keyu Resort is an extraordinary vacation experience. The resort has a charming sea view, with swimming pools of different sizes scattered among the lush green gardens and clear blue sea visible in the distance. I swam in the pool every day and didn't want to leave. Sometimes I go into the sea for some excitement and feel surrounded by the sea water. Secondly, I was pleasantly surprised by the room. The room is very large, fully equipped with a private bathroom and balcony, and its comfort is comparable to some high-end hotels. Every day when I wake up, I stand on the balcony to enjoy the picturesque scenery, and I feel very happy. All in all, this resort is definitely a great place to relax both physically and mentally.

There is a shuttle bus to the hotel during holidays. The small townhouse is great for taking photos. The room with an unbeatable sea view is extremely cost-effective. The room is clean and tidy, but I personally feel it is a little small. If you are lucky enough to encounter good weather, you can take pictures directly on the balcony, which will be super beautiful! You will know after watching my video. The breakfast set is very rich. It is nice to sit on the seaside terrace and have breakfast.

Weather may vary, but the sea🌊 never fails to show up. This time, heading out to sea towards Dong'ao Island, we didn't catch good weather, and the journey was rough with the waves tossing us about. My companions were seasick, while I felt as comfortable as if I were sleeping in my mother's cradle, probably because I was a daughter of the sea🧜 in a past life. The sea on a rainy day looks somewhat gloomy and stern (all thanks to filters😂), but there's a primitive and solitary beauty to it. The natural beauty of Nansha Bay, Dazhu Bay, and the forest plank road is still worth seeing. The pure white triangular wedding chapel, Honeymoon Pavilion, and Crescent Ring are still striving to create a sweet atmosphere of love. Many places on the island are still under construction, but the hotel and B&B facilities are already quite complete. We booked a panoramic glass sea view room on the mountain, and the view was great, it's just a pity we didn't see the sunrise🌅 Dining options are concentrated near the pier, where you can choose ingredients at the seafood market and have them cooked at a restaurant. We bought lobsters and razor clams that were quite good, but the cream crabs this season had very little cream and were not tasty, and the prices were very flexible😂. There are also bookstores and coffee shops nearby, perfect for whiling away the time. The only means of transportation on the island is the yellow sightseeing car, which departs on the hour and half-hour, with multiple routes, and costs 10 yuan everywhere, which is not very convenient. I hope there will be shared electric scooters in the future. 📌Practical Tips👇 ⛴️Transportation: You can take a boat from Zhuhai Xiangzhou, Hengqin, or Shenzhen Shekou. 📷Recommended spots: Nansha Bay, Dazhu Bay, Forest Plank Road, Honeymoon Pavilion, Wedding Chapel, Wanmi Bookstore 🏨Recommended accommodation: Gree Dong'ao Hotel, Keyu Resort, Liyuan Wanghai Mountain Residence

They have complete facilities and beautiful sea view rooms, and the price is usually around four hundred yuan. There are also some islanders' own homestays, which cost around 100 yuan. play Dong'ao Island has currently developed a beach, but there are very few people on the beach! It's right next to the Gree Hotel. The water is clear and I even picked up a lot of hermit crabs from the rocks! eat Of course, the island is full of seafood. The hotel includes breakfast. In the evening, we ate fresh seafood near the pier, including mantis shrimp, grouper, and cold jellyfish. They were delicious. ps: There are sightseeing buses at the pier. There are three lines in total. Line 3 is the honeymoon line, which is the most beautiful and the most photogenic. You can take it directly to the terminal and slowly go down the mountain from the top of the mountain. You can see all the attractions in the shortest time. Very nice
