Next to the lighthouse in Dongzuitou Village, Huanglong Township, Shengsi
This is not a popular island, but it has the purest East China Sea style. Dalezhiye Huanglong Island Lighthouse Store is located in Dongzuitou Village, Huanglong Township, Shengsi County, Zhoushan. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is adjacent to the century-old lighthouse, enjoying a secluded sea area. Departing from Shanghai or Hangzhou, you can take a boat to Sijiao Island via Shenjiawan Wharf, and then transfer to a passenger ship directly to Huanglong Island. It only takes 9 minutes to reach the hotel's exclusive wharf and start a slow life in the "off-island micro city".
The hotel covers an area of 4,000 square meters and took six years to build. It is inspired by weathered rocks on the island and combines rough stone building materials with the original ecology of the fishing village. It not only retains the historical traces of the lighthouse, but also reshapes modern aesthetics with minimalist lines. The winding trail connects the lighthouse and the hotel, just like walking into a "maritime museum". Every design pays tribute to nature, while being full of the high-end sense of urban aesthetics.
Yeyouka rooftop sea view cafe: hand-brewed coffee paired with salty sea breeze, cloud-like milk foam dancing with the waves. Yeyoujiu Infinity Pool Bar: Get tipsy in the twilight and watch the sunset fall into the infinity pool. Yeyoushi | 360° Seaside Restaurant: Freshly caught seafood paired with creative cuisine, a double feast for the taste buds and the eyes. After dinner, you may want to visit "Yeyouji", where fishermen's handmade products and island cultural and creative products are gathered. A fish bone artwork and a shell wind chime are all unique travel memories.
Light chaser moment: at 5 a.m., wait for the first ray of dawn on the bare-chested mountain top; sit on the reef in the evening and watch the golden sunset sink into the horizon; daily life of wild islanders: ride a bicycle around the island to visit Zhiao fishing village and chat with the old man weaving nets; cultural venue: hold photography exhibitions, concerts, talk shows and even book clubs under the stars from time to time to let art resonate with the tide; parent-child time: children's playground and shallow water paddling pool let children run wild safely.
