[2025 Xiangshan Attraction] Travel Guide for Huangcheng Beach (Updated May)

Phuket is too far, and Bali is too expensive 🤔 The seawater around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai always feels a bit lacking. But after visiting Xiangshan five times, in different seasons, I really want to say that Xiangshan is truly underrated!! . 🏝️Xiangshan 3-Day Itinerary ▪️Day 1: Arrive in Shipu Town > Check in to Shipu Town > Visit Hepu Town > Hepu Dasha Beach > Hepu Passenger Terminal (chase the sunset) > Open-air seafood stalls at the terminal ▪️Day 2: Shipu Royal City Beach (watch the sunrise) > Overlook the entire city of Shipu > Catch up on sleep > Lunch in Shipu > Dongdan Village > Check in to Niguang You She Homestay ▪️Day 3: Take photos near the homestay > Songlan Mountain Scenic Area (check out the seaside swing) > Fantong Mountain (Ningbo Sayram Lake + Ningbo Siji Lie Island) . ✔️This route is perfect for a road trip ✔️You can see both the sunrise and sunset ✔️You can stay in a tropical resort-style homestay (Niguang You She) ✔️You can enjoy all kinds of seafood along the way . ✅A few recommended attractions: 1️⃣Hepu Dasha Beach When driving, you will first pass a viewing platform where you can overlook the entire beach and the distant islands and windmills, which is quite charming with the houses by the sea. You can play in the water and set up tents here. There are restrooms and food available. It is the bluest seawater that you can drive to in Xiangshan. . 2️⃣Shipu Royal City Beach A great spot to watch the sunrise. Drive there at 4am. After getting out of the car, many people head to the beach in the dark with their lights on. Be sure to arrive half an hour before the sunrise time predicted by the weather forecast. The most beautiful time is when the sun hasn't fully risen, dyeing half the sky red. Every photo will be beautiful!! . 3️⃣Fantong Mountain Known as Ningbo's Sayram Lake and Ningbo's Siji Lie Island. You can keep playing along one route and take many scenic photos. Sayram Lake is actually a lake, separated from the coastline by a levee. The lake is very large and blue on a sunny day. With flocks of egrets and green mountains in sight, it is perfect for taking refreshing photos! . 4️⃣Songlan Mountain It has a deep and gentle coastline, a beach swing with a 100% photo success rate, a large terrace with floor-to-ceiling windows and a reef cafe, and a lonely but steadfast seaside lighthouse. On sunny days, the seawater is light blue, and the romantic atmosphere is comparable to Jeju Island! . 🏨About Accommodation: I stayed at "Niguang You She" in Dongdan Village, and the experience was excellent. The rooms have large floor-to-ceiling windows with direct views of the sea and a strip of beach. The surrounding environment is very nice. The homestay has excellent facilities, ample parking, an ins-style resort pool, an open-air dining area on the lower level, and a starry sky lawn for yakitori. The afternoon tea and meals are also good. Staying in a house with good aesthetics and excellent service really puts you in a great mood!

China Fishing Village is an original ecological seaside leisure tourism resort on the east coast of China. It is a large leisure coastal tourist destination with the themes of "fishing culture and folk tour" and "seaside ocean leisure vacation". It not only possesses the five major elements of seaside leisure and vacation - ocean, beach, air, sunshine and greenery, but also fully displays the living atmosphere of the fishing area. When you see a huge "China Fishing Village" sailboat, behind it is the beautiful Imperial City Beach in the fishing village. The sea water here is a bit yellow, but the sky is very blue. The large beaches have fine sand, which sparkles beautifully in the sun. You can enjoy beach motorcycles, horseback riding and other self-funded activities on the beach, or you can just take a walk, dig in the sand, or step on the water. The beach here is very flat, especially at low tide, when the sea water floats wetly on the rust-colored sand. The sand under your feet is smooth and oily yet hard as iron. It is a real pleasure to enjoy the sea breeze and rub your feet on the natural "iron sand" footbath. Unlike most beaches, the Chinese Fishing Village has a nice amusement park on the beach (4 of the projects are included in the ticket, and other projects require separate tickets). There are projects that children like to play on, such as pirate ships, Ferris wheels, and rotating airplanes. It feels great to sit on the Ferris wheel and look at the sea below from a high altitude. If you are tired of playing on the beach, you can go to the nearby Fisherman Culture and Folk Street. There are some small shops selling handicrafts made of shells, and you can also buy some snacks to replenish your energy. If you have a few friends coming together, grilling at the barbecue site by the sea is a good choice. There are also young people who will set up tents together at the beach to spend the night. It is also very enjoyable to watch the bright moon on the sea at night (barbecuing utensils and tents can be rented in the scenic area for a fee). If you meet a team, you might even encounter a bonfire party. The price of seafood in the scenic area is relatively high, and it is more affordable to go to the seafood street in Shipu Town at night. The seafood street faces the East China Sea Bay, with the fishing boat dock at the bottom. Not only can holidaymakers try and buy seafood, but the sea-viewing tower at the entrance and the ancient buildings on the street are also very interesting. If you want to experience the fishing customs more deeply, you can consider going to Shipu Fishing Port Ancient Town (about 4 kilometers away), which is also one of the attractions worth visiting in Xiangshan. address: Ningbo Xiangshan County Shipu China Fishing Port Opening hours: 1/1-9/30 08:00-17:00;10/1-10/7 07:00-18:30;10/8-12/31 08:00-17:00 Tickets 60 yuan transportation Take bus No. 306; Xiangshan bus No. 306; Xiangshan bus No. 308 to Wuxin Station.
