A Fun-filled Family Getaway to Shengsi Huaniao Island with Kids! The Perfect Summer Escape for Parents and Children ☀️

I used to think family vacations were exhausting—until I discovered Huaniao Island near Shanghai! This summer, my child and I enjoyed the most stress-free bonding time here. A true paradise for families, Huaniao boasts even more stunning "blue tears" bioluminescence than Shengsi's main island, with outer-sea waters so clear they rival Sanya's. From splashing in the waves and digging in the sand to chasing glowing plankton, my kid couldn’t stop begging to come back! 🐚 **The Right Hotel Makes All the Difference** Our stay at Luli Hotel on Huaniao Island was a game-changer! 🎈 The 100㎡ lawn became my child’s "happy planet"—swinging and rocking on the wooden horse nonstop while I sipped coffee nearby, worry-free. 👣 Just a 5-minute walk to Nan’ao Beach, where the soft, pebble-free sand let my little one run barefoot safely. The warm morning waters (before 9 AM) kept the sunburn away as they giggled through the waves. 🍳 Kid-friendly breakfasts (steamed eggs, mini buns) and mild seafood congee for dinner, plus thoughtful touches like child-sized slippers and bed rails, made everything effortless. 🌌 The highlight? At 8 PM nightly, the staff guided us to chase "blue tears" while teaching kids about bioluminescence—my child was mesmerized! 🚢 Bonus: The hotel arranged ferry tickets and shuttle transfers, sparing us the hassle of lugging bags. 👉 **Snag Your Spot at This Rare Gem!** 👨👩👧👦 **Must-Do Family Activities** 1️⃣ **Nan’ao Beach Combing** 🌊: At low tide, hunt for shells and crabs with the hotel’s free kiddie tools—cool seawater underfoot = pure summer joy! 2️⃣ **Sunrise at Wuzhi Rock + Rainbow Stone** 🌈: An easy 6:30 AM hike for vibrant family photos and geology lessons amidst colorful boulders. 3️⃣ **Mata Line Bike Ride Among Sheep** 🐑: Pedal past wildflowers and free-roaming goats—cue endless "baa"-filled laughter! 4️⃣ **Family Fishing at a Local Fisherman’s Spot** 🎣: Shallow-water coaching led to triumphant jumps when tiny fish were caught—then savor them as hotel-made soup. 5️⃣ **Paddleboarding Over Glowing Waters** 🛶: With life vests on, my child shrieked, "Mom, I’m stepping on stars!" as the board lit up the sea. Unforgettable! 🍲 **Kid-Approved Eats** ✅ Luli Hotel’s steamed fish (boneless!) and seafood egg custard had my child cleaning the bowl. ✅ **Island Bistro**’s beef pasta and fries were a hit. ✅ **Dock Market** at 8 AM for jumping-fresh shrimp—budget-friendly and delicious! ⚠️ Note: Island prices are higher, but fresh, light seafood is worth it for little ones. 📌 **Pro Tips** ❶ Book rooms above the 2nd floor for quieter naps, away from beach noise. ❷ Pack rash guards, water shoes (sharp rocks!), and reef-safe sunscreen. ❸ No e-bikes? Strollers work, and hotels lend baby carriers. ❹ Saturday craft sessions at the visitor center buy parents a 1-hour break while kids make shell art. 🌴 Just 1.5 hours from Shanghai or 2.5 from Hangzhou! This summer, wake up to sea breezes and giggles at Luli Hotel—this is what summer memories are made of!
