Romantic moments watching the sunrise over the sea

Let yourself grow wild, for the moonlight is waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. 🌙
We met when we were in our teens and now we're in our twenties.
I came to this world to seriously
smell the flowers and watch the sunrise,
cross the ocean and dive into the sea,
climb mountains and travel the world...

We decided to watch the sunrise over the sea within a week. We actually went at the end of 2024, just in time for New Year's Eve. I didn't sort out the photos until now. When I opened the album, it was like receiving a precious gift. I couldn't help but smile when I recalled the memories.

☑️ Xiangshan Banbiantian Guantang Hotel
The hotel was busy on New Year's Eve. We booked half a month in advance. I suggest you book in advance too, so you can have a comfortable sleep.
☑️ We drove from Hangzhou to Xiangshan.
The journey took about four hours. I suggest you bring some water, snacks, fruit, and staple food. There were three of us, so we had a good rhythm and had a great time. We took a break at Xiangshan Service Area and charged the car.
☑️ We watched the fireworks and sunrise together.
The fireworks started at 11 pm and lasted until about 1:30 am. There were three hours of fireworks. Many people set off fireworks together. It was beautiful. We watched the fireworks in a 360-degree circle.
If you decide to watch the sunrise, you need to cut down on sleep, but it's worth it. Since people watched the fireworks for a long time the night before, few people got up early, so there were few people on the beach. It felt like the sunrise was just for you.

✏️ Tips
① You can bring some sparklers to set off fireworks and take some nice photos at night.
② Since you won't get much sleep, you may be tired when driving. I suggest you have breakfast and take a nap after watching the sunrise, and then go home.
③ Xiangshan's swimming crabs, sea snails, and oranges are delicious. You must try them.
