🏝️ Summer in Xiangshan – this is the ultimate vacation vibe!
Every snapshot looks like a fresh Japanese film scene—no filter needed ✨
For this 2-day, 1-night trip, I stayed at my dream homestay: **[Xiangshan Niguang Xiaoshe]**
The design is stunning! With a private courtyard + pool, the vacation feels are maxed out 💯
🌊 **Nestled against green mountains, facing the East China Sea**, it’s a hidden paradise
Just a 5-minute walk to **Dongdan Fashion Sports Beach** 🏄♀️
Beachcombing, sunrise chasing, water sports... coastal fun starts here!
⛰️ **The homestay itself is a work of art**
Two buildings crafted from local stone, earthy tones + lush greenery
Rustic yet refined, with genius folding-door designs ✨
Sea breezes flow through—like living inside nature 🍃
🛏️ **The "Sunset Series" room I stayed in was unreal!**
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sea and mountains like a giant painting 🌅
**Lying in bed watching the tides rise and fall**—how could anyone resist?!
Marshall speakers, HCK retro fridge, projector, bathtub...
Even the robes are custom-made—detail lovers will swoon~
🔸 **Private starlit pool**: Sand-textured, quiet, and crowd-free!
🔸 **Day café, night bar**: Afternoon tea with sea breezes, stargazing with cocktails at night 🌌
🔸 **Wood-fired pizza workshop**: Hands-on pizza-making is pure joy (even for the clumsy!)
🍜 **Next morning’s breakfast featured seafood noodles!**
Freshly caught seafood toppings—unbelievably delicious~
⚠️ Dinner requires 1-day advance booking—their local seafood feast is a must!
📸 **Nearby activities?**
▫️ "Wizard of Oz" forest: 10-minute walk
▫️ Dongdan Beach: 5-minute walk
▫️ Ala de Sea Water Park: 20-minute drive
🚗 **Getting there**
Ningbo→1.5h|Hangzhou→3h|Shanghai→4h
Road-tripping is ideal—scenery along the way is breathtaking~
