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!

## Eat a meal of Shipu seafood dinner Shipu seafood famous, come, of course, must not eat. Whether it is to go deep into the market, or to charter a boat to go fishing, you can have a sigh of relief. Look at the must-eat list to find a lunch, I thought it was at the seaside, it was not, it is said to have moved from the seafood street. The feeling is that a private residential building has been transformed into a private room. It is good to stagger the peak of May 1 and there is no one. Looking at the order on the first floor, I saw a lot of things I have never seen before, and I feel that it is really growing knowledge! 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. Scallion crab: After eating crabs for a few days, I finally changed my taste. 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. Fish noodles: local specialties, noodles made with fish, vegetables with mustard, bean sprouts, loofah, pepper, and delicious.

Many people play on the beach, some swim in the sea, chase, more noisy at the beach, play with each other, enjoy the waves and waves and pacify.

###trip# Shipu Fishing Port Ancient City, unique and beautiful. Shipu people have lived on the sea for generations, and they contain many magical fishing cultures and fishing styles. They are rich and extensive. Despite the changes of the times, you can still enjoy the silky style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the old streets of Shipu, and the culture of the fishermen and the culture. The main street of Shipu Fishing Port Ancient City, the space is closed continuously, the steps are high and low, the fire wall is crossing the street along the lane, and the layers are progressive. The quaintness of the ancient town of Jiangnan and the fishing port of Shancheng Fishing Port have become more and more integrated.

Different from the ancient city elsewhere, the ancient city of Shipu Fishing Port, built along the mountain, is more salty and smelly. The ancient city is connected to the fishing port and deep in the mountain valley. The city wall is built with the ups and downs of the mountains. Walk through the artistic conception of "the city is in the harbor and the mountain is in the city". Inadvertently met an old house, the fishing port ancestors left a life imprint, vividly in sight. "The people live in the smog, and Wanlitao sounds to the pillow." That is the place here---Shipu Ancient City.

This National Day holiday, I took my child to the exclusive Three Moons Island for a nature exploration camp, and it was incredibly meaningful! We avoided the crowded tourist spots and allowed the kids to learn so much about marine life while having fun. Here's a detailed share of our experience👇 🌟 Highlights of the Exploration Camp ​​Rich Marine Courses​​ ​​Intertidal Zone Exploration​​: During low tide, professional instructors guided the kids to search for various marine creatures like crabs, sea anemones, and shells on the beach and among the rocks. As the kids observed, the instructors explained the living habits and characteristics of these creatures. My child was amazed to learn about the many types of crabs, with eyes sparkling with curiosity👀. ​​Marine Specimen Making​​: The kids collected shells and other materials to create their own marine specimens. This activity not only enhanced their hands-on skills but also deepened their understanding of marine life. My child made a scallop specimen and carefully placed it in their little backpack, saying they wanted to keep it safe. ​​Marine Ecology Lecture​​: Through engaging pictures and videos, the instructors introduced the importance of marine ecosystems and how to protect the ocean environment. The kids listened attentively and actively answered questions, unknowingly developing a stronger sense of environmental awareness. ​​Unique Island Experiences​​ ​​Sea Observation​​: We took a fishing boat out to sea to observe seagulls hunting and fishermen at work up close. The kids excitedly pointed at the seagulls on the water, cheering with joy. On the sea, we also enjoyed the vast ocean and distant islands, with an incredibly open and refreshing view. ​​Beach Activities​​: On the private beach of Three Moons Island, the kids could play freely and build sandcastles. The sand was fine and soft, feeling like stepping on cotton candy. The beach was quiet and uncrowded, allowing the kids to enjoy their time freely. 🏠 Accommodation and Dining ​​Accommodation​​: We stayed at the hotel on Three Moons Island, which was clean and tidy. The sea-view room offered stunning ocean views. At night, the kids fell asleep to the sound of waves, sleeping soundly. The hotel also provided children's beds and toiletries, which was very thoughtful. ​​Dining​​: The hotel's restaurant served a variety of fresh seafood dishes caught that day. The kids enjoyed steamed fish, shrimp, and crab, eating to their heart's content. The restaurant also catered to children of different ages with kid-friendly meals. 📅 Itinerary ​​Day 1​​: Arrive at Three Moons Island, check in, and rest briefly. In the afternoon, participate in the intertidal zone exploration course to search for marine creatures on the beach and rocks. In the evening, attend the marine ecology lecture. ​​Day 2​​: Take a fishing boat out to sea in the morning for observation. In the afternoon, engage in marine specimen making. In the evening, join a beach bonfire party where the kids sang, danced, and had a blast. ​​Day 3​​: Enjoy free activities on the beach, where the kids could continue building sandcastles and exploring. Then pack up and conclude the delightful exploration camp. 💡 Tips For National Day trips, it's recommended to book the exploration camp and hotel rooms in advance to avoid delays. Prepare suitable outdoor clothing and footwear, such as sun-protective clothing and sneakers. Bring sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and other protective items to ensure the kids' health. This National Day exploration camp was truly amazing! The kids learned while exploring and grew while having fun. The environment of Three Moons Island is perfect for such activities, with beautiful natural scenery and professional educational resources. I can't wait to bring my child back next year!
