Set off from Ningbo for a spontaneous self-driving trip to Xiangshan! Taking the ferry with both people and car is super cool, and you can also check in at the ultra-healing Nantian Island Dasha Beach🌊
🚗 Sea-crossing self-driving route:
Day 1: Ningbo city → Shipu Ferry Terminal (1.5h) → Hepu Ferry (30 RMB/car) → Hepu Tiger Noodle Restaurant → Dasha Beach → Stay at Muxi Homestay
Day 2: Hepu Ferry Terminal → Shipu Fishing Port Ancient Town → Xiangshan Film and Television City
🌟 Must-try recommendations:
1️⃣ Hepu Ferry experience: Ferries run every 20 minutes, very convenient, cars can drive directly onto the boat, enjoy the beautiful sea view along the way
2️⃣ Dasha Beach: Fine sand, fewer people, beautiful scenery, perfect for kids to dig sand and play in the water, watching the sunset in the evening is amazing
3️⃣ Muxi Seaview Homestay: Located halfway up the mountain, an excellent spot facing the sea (Address: No. 172, Dasha Village, Hepu Town)
4️⃣ Shipu Fishing Port Ancient Town: Well-preserved fishing village style, rich in fishing culture
5️⃣ Xiangshan Film and Television City: Filming location for historical dramas like "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Legend of Mi Yue," wearing Hanfu for photos is super photogenic
🍜 Food must-haves:
- Hepu Tiger Noodle Restaurant: A favorite among locals, seafood noodles are generously served
- Xiangshan Seafood: Seafood stalls at Shipu Fishing Port are not to be missed
🚗 Travel tips:
- Ferry runs every half hour, off-peak travel is recommended
- Xiangshan attractions are scattered, self-driving is more convenient
Seaside cottages, ferry sea views, crab catching, eating seafood... this is the right way to enjoy Xiangshan!
