Ningbo Xiangshan Seaview Crown Holiday Hotel 🌈Some people say that Xiangshan, Zhejiang, hides China's Maldives. Although it's a bit exaggerated, Xiangshan in June indeed has a tropical style similar to Sanya, Hainan. Maybe we northerners are ignorant, we don't know much about Xiangshan. This time we checked in at the Ningbo Xiangshan Seaview Crown Holiday Hotel, which has long been a popular spot on the internet, and found that it is really an underestimated leisure resort🔮. 🌈The hotel is located in the Shihpu Half Mountain Scenic Area in Xiangshan, built by the mountain and near the sea, with excellent natural environment. This Crown Holiday Hotel is huge, composed of several buildings. The main building on the beach faces the sea, surrounded by a wide independent beach. The indoor swimming pool is beautifully designed, and the 2000 square meter outdoor swimming pool is even more stunning. When the weather is good, every shot is a blockbuster. 🌈The interior decoration incorporates a lot of marine elements, fishing boats, fish baskets, net ropes, ripples and other design inspirations from the sea can be seen everywhere. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby are sparkling, and the ocean holiday atmosphere is overwhelming. In the evening, there is a laser water show in the lobby, and the changing water waves in the light and shadow are very eye-catching. 🌈The executive building is on the hillside, facing the distant mountains on one side and overlooking the entire bay on the other. The executive lounge is brightly colored and uniquely designed, full of tropical style. The executive building also has a popular infinity pool, which can take pictures of the effect of blending with the sea. A set of ocean-themed afternoon tea , a glass of rose wine🍾, a leisurely seaside afternoon. 🌈Almost all the rooms in the hotel can see the sea. The executive room I stayed in is very large, with a light and elegant color scheme, simple and comfortable, with a large balcony, and a comfortable large sofa on the balcony. Look at the mountains and the sea🌊, and daze🤔. 🌈Get up early to watch the sunrise🌅 in the room, ride a small electric car🛵 up the winding road, wild flowers on the roadside, ripe bayberries falling from the branches, lost little crabs crawling in front of the car, the distant mudflats, small islands, fishing boats form a light and elegant ink painting, the summer of the East China Sea is intoxicating.

Here are some of the lesser-known and more pleasant places I think are worth visiting: 1. Zhaoxing Dong Village in Guizhou: Known as the place on the edge of time, the quaint Dong village, unique Dong architecture and folk culture make people linger. 2. Fuxian Lake in Yunnan: A piece of jade hidden between mountains and waters, with clear water and beautiful scenery, it is a great place to relax. 3. Nan'ao Island, Zhejiang: The scenery on the coastal highway is picturesque, and on sunny days, you can see the sea and sky in one, which is very suitable for self-driving tours. 4. Songyang, Fujian: Known as the last secret place in Jiangnan, it has many ancient villages and beautiful landscapes, making people feel as if they are in a paradise. 5. Zhuhai Chimelong Paradise: This urban paradise has both amusement facilities and marine animal performances, making it a place suitable for the whole family to play. 6. Taishun, Fujian: the hometown of Chinese covered bridges, with ancient and unique covered bridge architecture and beautiful landscapes. 7. Yushan Island, Zhejiang: With clear water and beautiful scenery, it is an island suitable for camping and sea fishing, allowing people to feel the vastness and beauty of the sea. 8. Xixinan Ancient Village in Jiangxi: This Huizhou-style ancient village has beautiful landscapes and quaint buildings, making people feel as if they have returned to ancient times. Although these places are relatively unpopular, they all have unique charm and beauty and are worth a visit. I hope these recommendations help you!

## Eat a meal of Shipu seafood dinner Shipu seafood famous, come, of course, must not eat. Whether it is to go deep into the market, or to charter a boat to go fishing, you can have a sigh of relief. Look at the must-eat list to find a lunch, I thought it was at the seaside, it was not, it is said to have moved from the seafood street. The feeling is that a private residential building has been transformed into a private room. It is good to stagger the peak of May 1 and there is no one. Looking at the order on the first floor, I saw a lot of things I have never seen before, and I feel that it is really growing knowledge! Learning makes me happy~~ : Its full, and the fire can be fried. Bergamot: Guangdong is called the sea chicken claw, the scientific name barnacle. It looks like a shellfish on the island outside Zhoushan. It is like peeling the palm and the sea otter. It has the same patience as the sea cucumber, which means the Buddha seal of Putuo Mountain. Scallion crab: After eating crabs for a few days, I finally changed my taste. Sauted with scallion is still quite fragrant, and the plate looks beautiful too! braised small octopus: recommended, small octopus ones are very full Q, bite a lot of meat, so satisfied. Fish noodles: local specialties, noodles made with fish, vegetables with mustard, bean sprouts, loofah, pepper, and delicious.

###trip# Shipu Fishing Port Ancient City, unique and beautiful. Shipu people have lived on the sea for generations, and they contain many magical fishing cultures and fishing styles. They are rich and extensive. Despite the changes of the times, you can still enjoy the silky style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the old streets of Shipu, and the culture of the fishermen and the culture. The main street of Shipu Fishing Port Ancient City, the space is closed continuously, the steps are high and low, the fire wall is crossing the street along the lane, and the layers are progressive. The quaintness of the ancient town of Jiangnan and the fishing port of Shancheng Fishing Port have become more and more integrated.

Different from the ancient city elsewhere, the ancient city of Shipu Fishing Port, built along the mountain, is more salty and smelly. The ancient city is connected to the fishing port and deep in the mountain valley. The city wall is built with the ups and downs of the mountains. Walk through the artistic conception of "the city is in the harbor and the mountain is in the city". Inadvertently met an old house, the fishing port ancestors left a life imprint, vividly in sight. "The people live in the smog, and Wanlitao sounds to the pillow." That is the place here---Shipu Ancient City.

Walking into the elegant and elegant village is like traveling through time and space, returning to that quiet and distant time. -- The natural scenery of the elegant and elegant village is intoxicating.

I just escaped from Dongdan Village in Ningbo! Please don't issue an arrest warrant for me—it's not too bad, it's just too addictive! My 6-year-old son is holding a branch and wants to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex son-in-law, and the villagers are chasing after him to make him a town mascot 😭 💣Trap 1: Chinese wisteria cave activates ancestral DNA The second I rushed into the green castle, my daughter suddenly became a Jurassic creature! She grabbed the vines and roared, "I am the reincarnation of a pterosaur!" What's even more amazing is that next to the little dragon sculpture, my son insisted that it was a baby dinosaur, and hugged the stone sculpture and shouted, "My son! Mother has finally found you!" The old lady passing by laughed so hard that tears came out, and she insisted on giving him a handful of wild berries as "dragon food"~ 💣Trap 2: The viewing platform makes kids precocious by 500 years The moment the drone took off, my son turned into an archeology expert! Holding a bubble machine as a detector, he ran all over the mountain shouting, "Dinosaur fossil group found!" The craziest thing was that his white dress was covered with green juice, and he insisted that it was a "dragon blood robe", forcing his old mother to take three hundred "loving mother and filial son" Jurassic family photos 📸 💣Trap 3: Hiking trails turned into wilderness survival After walking only ten meters on the wooden boardwalk, my academically challenged son suddenly became Bear Grylls! He grabbed weeds and stuffed them into his mouth: "This is a dinosaur-era buffet!" What's even more amazing is that the second the red umbrella was opened, this guy danced wildly and shouted, "Tyrannosaurus Rex squad, come and protect me!" The photographer pressed the shutter until it smoked, and filmed an epic, melodramatic movie ☂️ 🌿Life-saving guide with blood and tears: 1️⃣Dress your child in a white robe! Instantly become the protagonist of the Lost World in the green vines 2️⃣Prepare ten pounds of mosquito repellent! An average of thirty bites a day in the vine maze 3️⃣Secretly hide dinosaur toys! Treasure hunts at the viewing platform can be exchanged for half an hour of peace On the last night, I stayed at the Xiangshan Retro Yoshe B&B at the entrance of the village. My son tore the sheets into "dragon skin": "I want to build a dinosaur empire here!" I contacted the villagers overnight for a work-for-stay arrangement—after all, a secret place that can make Ultraman fans forget about TV is worth signing a contract for ten thousand years!

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, renowned for their breathtaking canyon landscapes and rich cultural heritage, have become a classic destination for travelers worldwide. Among the many cruises navigating the Three Gorges, the Yangtze No. 3, which debuted in 2022, has quickly set a benchmark in the high-end cruise market with its innovative "all-inclusive" concept. Created by the China Yangtze River Shipping Group, this luxurious cruise redefines Three Gorges travel with modern technology and eco-friendly design, offering a worry-free experience that allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the poetic blend of nature and culture. **All-Inclusive: Breaking the Hidden Constraints of Traditional Travel** In traditional cruise travel, additional costs for upgraded dining, attraction tickets, and guide services often lead to budget concerns for travelers. The Yangtze No. 3 pioneered the "all-inclusive" model, incorporating tickets, accommodations, dining, attractions, entertainment, and service fees into the base price, eliminating hidden expenses entirely. From the moment guests board, they can enjoy a "worry-free" travel experience—whether it's the daily buffet featuring a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine, access to the onboard heated pool and theater, or in-depth tours of iconic sites like White Emperor City and Goddess Stream—all without extra charges. This transparent pricing model brings travel back to its pure essence, allowing guests to focus solely on the scenery and their inner reflections. **A Culinary Journey: Exquisite All-Inclusive Dining** The all-inclusive policy of the Yangtze No. 3 is particularly evident in its dining services. The ship features a global restaurant, VIP private dining rooms, and a deck barbecue bar, offering nearly 100 Chinese and Western dishes daily. From local specialties like Wushan grilled fish and Chongqing hot pot to French foie gras and Italian pasta, guests can enjoy diverse flavors without paying extra for upgraded meals. Notably, the cruise collaborates with towns along the route to introduce "Three Gorges Ingredient Days," bringing fresh local produce like Zigui oranges and Fengjie tangerines directly to the table, seamlessly connecting taste buds with the region's essence. Complimentary beverage bars and 24-hour room service further exemplify the sincerity of the "all-inclusive" concept. **Cultural Immersion: Unlocking the Essence of the Three Gorges** While many cruises include only a few attraction tickets to cut costs, the Yangtze No. 3 covers the most iconic cultural landmarks along its route. Guests can explore the "City of Poetry" White Emperor City with professional guides, delving into the Three Kingdoms history through Liu Bei's legacy; take small boats into the secluded Goddess Stream to experience the canyon's wonders up close; and visit Fengdu Ghost City, where holographic projection technology blends traditional culture with modern innovation. Beyond including attraction tickets, the cruise also organizes value-added activities like cultural scholar lectures and intangible heritage workshops, elevating the experience from "checklist tourism" to "immersive learning." **Private Luxury: All-Inclusive Services Transforming the Ship into a Mobile Resort** The all-inclusive philosophy of the Yangtze No. 3 extends to every service detail. All cabins feature private balconies, with some suites offering exclusive decks and personal butler services. Facilities like the gym, spa center, and children's play area are freely accessible, while nightly performances such as musicals, magic shows, and Three Gorges cultural salons add an artistic touch to the journey. Unlike traditional cruises with fragmented "pay-as-you-go" experiences, the Yangtze No. 3 transforms the entire ship into a "mobile five-star resort," ensuring guests feel a sense of luxury and value at every moment. **Eco-Friendly and Technological Innovations** As a new-generation green cruise, the Yangtze No. 3 employs an electric propulsion system and intelligent wastewater treatment devices, with the costs of these eco-friendly investments embedded in the all-inclusive fees. Guests enjoy quiet navigation while contributing to the preservation of the Yangtze River's ecosystem. Additionally, features like full 5G coverage and smart cabin control systems make convenience and comfort the default settings of the journey. In an era of consumer upgrades, the all-inclusive model of the Yangtze No. 3 is not just a commercial innovation but a philosophical transformation of travel. With its transparent pricing and comprehensive service design, it redefines the essence of luxury travel: true high-end experiences lie not in superficial opulence but in enabling every guest to find complete relaxation and freedom amidst nature. This is perhaps the core secret behind the Yangtze No. 3's success in the competitive Three Gorges cruise market: using the sincerity of "all-inclusive" to inspire travelers' wholehearted engagement and unforgettable memories.
