Ningbo Xiangshan | Songlan Mountain.
Great place for a weekend trip!
🐚The sand on Songlan Mountain Beach is so fine and soft. It's so comfortable to walk on. The blue hour at sunset is also beautiful. It's a great place to take photos!
I got up at 4:30 the next morning and saw a beautiful sunrise🌅
In the afternoon, I went to Fantou Mountain⛰️. It's so comfortable to watch the sea with the sea breeze.

A wonderful place between mountains and sea!
《Fan Tong Mountain: A Semi-Wild Secret Realm Between Mountains and Sea》
In this vast world, there are always some corners, like forgotten pearls, quietly waiting for a fateful encounter. Today, we unveil a mysterious place called Fan Tong Mountain.
Fan Tong Mountain, at first hearing its name, might make people chuckle, thinking the name is too casual. However, when you truly step into this land, you will find that its charm is far from simple.
Here, it is a marvelous blend of mountains and the sea. Half is undulating mountains, and the other half is the vast sea. Climbing to the top of the mountain and looking far into the distance, the continuous mountains are like the backbone of the earth, stretching firmly and powerfully into the distance; and the boundless sea, like a huge blue satin, ripples under the gentle caress of the breeze.
Walking along the winding path, you will see in the semi-wild scenic area, withered grass flats and yellow soil waste stones intertwined, forming a unique picture. The withered grass sways in the wind, as if telling the story of time; the yellow soil waste stones remain silent, witnessing the changes of time. This seemingly desolate scene contains a different kind of beauty. It is not a meticulously carved garden, without the splendor of blooming flowers, but it has an unadorned authenticity and simplicity.
At sunset, it is the most charming moment of Fan Tong Mountain. The afterglow of the setting sun dyes the sky orange-red, and the mountains and sea are coated with a layer of golden light. Standing on this land, watching the sun slowly set, the shock and tranquility are enough to make people forget all their troubles. At this moment, you might think of those past dreams, those desires hidden by the busy life.
At Fan Tong Mountain, time seems to slow down. You can calm down, listen to the sound of waves hitting the rocks, and feel the gentle breeze brushing your face. There is no city noise here, no work pressure, only the purest gift of nature.
For everyone who comes to Fan Tong Mountain, this is not just a tourist destination, but a resting place for the soul. Here, you can regain inner peace and re-examine your life.
Perhaps, you will leave a deep footprint on this withered grass flat; perhaps, you will carve your wishes on the rocks by the sea; or perhaps, you will just sit quietly there, enjoying this moment of tranquility. No matter how you encounter Fan Tong Mountain, it will become a precious chapter in your memory.
May everyone who comes to Fan Tong Mountain find their own beauty between the mountains and the sea. May you return with a heart full of strength and eyes full of light.

Just came back from a trip to Xiangshan, and I was seriously schooled 😭😭. I immediately stayed up all night to write this guide, hoping to help families who want to travel there!!
Preparation for departure~~ Call up a bunch of friends or go with family, there are so many activities to organize, it's really fun...
Attraction recommendations:
1. Banbian Mountain Beach -
You can camp on the beach. You can also play beach frisbee, and there's a bonfire party at night. Beautiful and fun.

3. Xiangshan Film and TV City -
Many films and TV dramas are shot here, and you can travel back to ancient times in an instant. If there are many people, you can play script murder games together, which is super interesting! There are also performances, and the shows are very diverse and fun!
4. Fantong Mountain -
There are mountains and flocks of sheep, walking is very pleasant.
5. China Fishing Village -
The scenery is almost unique, and my favorite is that there are many sea activities, such as kayaking, jet skiing, banana boating, etc.

Visiting the seaside city to see the ocean is a good choice
99% of people have never been to this small island in Zhejiang❗️ Attached is a 1️⃣-day tour guide|||Spring outing
Visiting the seaside city to see the ocean
is a good choice
▪️
Ningbo Xiangshan County
is a very worthwhile seaside city to visit
Here you have beautiful coastlines and characteristic fishing villages
▪️
🇨🇳 The movie 'Fishing Lights'
The story takes place on a niche island in Xiangshan
This island, which 99% of people have never visited,
is called Dongmen Island, see pictures 1-10
▪️
🏃🏻♂️Dongmen Island check-in spots:
🔸 Mazu Culture Square
The square has a great view, overlooking the inner and outer seas. The temple in the square is worth a visit.
🔸 Dongmen Lighthouse
Located next to the Mazu Temple, its red and white design is very photogenic!
🔸 Dongmen Old Street
Where the islanders live, you can go in and see the life of the island residents, and at the same time taste various island delicacies.
🔸 Sea God Temple entrance parking lot viewing platform
You can take night scene photos like picture 1 from the parking lot, and also enjoy the sunset, a not-to-be-missed check-in spot!
▪️
🚗Transportation: You can drive onto the island, parking fee for the lighthouse and Mazu Square is 20 yuan/time
⏱️Tour time: Half a day is enough
▪️
🏞️Xiangshan 1️⃣-day minimalist tour guide
👉Tour order: From north to south, Fantong Mountain➡️Shipu Ancient City➡️Dongmen Island
▪️
🔸Fantong Mountain, see pictures 11-13
Next to the hillside is the sea, where you can see windmills in the distance, and in the spring and summer, you can also see green grass and flocks of sheep here.
🔸Shipu Ancient City, pictures 14-15
Although it is an ancient city, personally, I think the most worthwhile check-in spot is the ancient city's viewing platform. At the top of the mountain, the entire fishing village is in full view. Watching a sunset here is also a good choice. I do not recommend🙅🏻♀️ the ancient city scenic area at the foot of the mountain, as the ticket is quite expensive, it's very small, and there's not much to visit.

Zhejiang also has its own offshore wind turbines and Sayram Lake
From Hangzhou to Ninghai Windmill Road to watch the sunset and sunrise
With the idea of having come all the way, it's not a big deal to go to Xiangshan for another hour and a half,
I searched a few guides and set off to see the sea~ And I'm very satisfied with this trip! The scenery along the way is beautiful, and the main point is that the time to return to Hangzhou from Ninghai and Xiangshan is about the same, so it's really good to drive along this route!
Route 1️⃣: Hangzhou→Ninghai Wangfu Tower
Route 2️⃣: Ninghai→Rice Bucket Mountain→Changsha Village
The whole journey of Route 2 is very beautiful! You can drive slowly, don't miss the two points in the picture, the third picture suggests getting off the car and playing for a while, walking east can experience catching the sea, and taking pictures of offshore wind turbines, and there are shells on the beach that can be picked up
After passing the yellow gate and driving forward, you will pass a large area of dense wild ducks! Really curious if no one catches them, then you will pass Rice Bucket Mountain and continue towards Changsha Village, you will pass 1, it is easy to miss, remember to drive slowly! This place is more beautiful in summer, green and lush, of course, autumn and winter have their own flavor~⚠️From west to east, pay attention when you see the flock of sheep and windmills, you may have arrived, the little 🐏 is really super cute~
Food recommendation: In Xiangshan County (Northern Restaurant) the salt and pepper series are all delicious,
The blind spot dishes taste good, and the prices are touching! There are many roadside stalls selling Red Beauties near Changsha Village! The kind that is delicious enough to eat a bag in one breath!

A very, very niche place where you can drive around the sea, it's a small seaside meadow~ The whole peninsula is a mountain shaped like a rice bucket, with meadows on one side and the sea on the other, quite a special experience! 🌅
There is a camping base here - NAHA, with coffee and some snacks for sale, not many camping tents▲, about 5.6.7.8. Asked the boss, said it's 680 a night for 4 people, which is a common camping overnight price in Ningbo. 🏕️
You can also bring your own camping equipment to rent a campsite, or bring tables and chairs to set up anywhere on the mountain platform, chat, drink tea and enjoy the sea breeze~ ☕🌊There are people who have ridden here, the coastal road of Xiangshan is accessible along the entire coastline! 🏍️
