Go to Ningbo during the holidays! Enter the real-life version of "The Wizard of Oz"🌿
Family members, if you haven’t planned where to go yet, take a look here! I found a treasure in Xiangshan, Ningbo. It’s like the real-life version of “The Wizard of Oz”, so beautiful!
🚗About transportation
- Friends from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai should take the high-speed train first. After arriving at Ningbo Station, take a bus directly to Xiangshan Bus Station, and then take a taxi to your destination.
- For those departing from Shanghai, you can take a bus directly from Shanghai South Railway Station to Xiangshan Bus Station, which is very convenient.
- If you drive, navigate to Dongdan Village. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful. Enjoy it while driving!
📸About attractions
- Dongdan Village: A small treasure trove. The whole mountain is covered with ramie vines in strange shapes. It feels like you have stepped into a mysterious lost land. It is great for taking photos.
- Dongdan Fashion Sports Beach: Located in Dongdan Village, it is open to the public free of charge. Don’t miss it if you like to go to the beach, you can also take a speedboat🛥super exciting! The white viewing platform high up on the right side of the beach offers a beautiful view of the beach.
- Reef Cafe: A cafe built on the reef. You can listen to the sound of the waves while sipping coffee. It has a full atmosphere.
- Central Beach: A small beach in Songlan Mountain, with many spots for catching seafood and beach swings, it is perfect for young girls.
- Ningbo Songlanshan Tourist Resort - Glass Observation Deck: The glass plank road is built on the rocks. Walking on it, you can enjoy the sea view. It is thrilling and fun. Moreover, none of these attractions require tickets, so go there with confidence!
🍱About food
Xiangshan seafood must be arranged! The crabs are fat and juicy, and the shrimp meat is chewy and firm. Steaming them will give you the best experience of their deliciousness. There are also special rice buns, which are soft and slightly sweet. You will never forget them once you have tried them.
🏠About accommodation
The "Xiangshan Niguang Youshe" B&B where I stayed was absolutely amazing! It is located in Dongdan Village, just a few minutes' walk from the yew vines and the beach. The homestay is in French manor style, with super exquisite decoration, its own outdoor swimming pool, and the afternoon tea cafe is full of style. Eating roasted bird and watching the open-air cinema in the evening, this vacation feeling is perfect!
