A must-see for island lovers! This trip to Zhoushan led us to the super family-friendly New Century Resort🏖️, where kids played so much they didn't want to go home! Sharing this gem that makes family trips effortless👇
🏡 Hotel Highlights
1. Stunning Sea View Rooms
Every room offers breathtaking ocean views🌊. Our balcony room had panoramic vistas - we could watch sunrise and sunset🌅 right from bed! Even our little sleepyhead woke up early to catch the morning glow over the sea.
2. Massive Water Park
The resort features a 7,500㎡ indoor heated water playground🎠 (open year-round) with water slides, lazy river, and more. Various life jacket sizes are provided, making it worry-free for new parents.
📍 Transportation Guide
• Drive: 2.5 hours direct from Hangzhou (free parking available)
• Train: Take taxi from Ningbo Station (1 hour, ~¥150)
🌊 Nearby Attractions
• East Sand Beach (5-min walk): Fine sand, less crowded - don't forget the complimentary sand toys from hotel
• Zhoushan Ocean Culture Expo Park (15-min drive): Interactive exhibits that keep kids engaged all day
• Zhujiajian Seafood Street (10-min drive): Must-tries: scallion oil swimming crab and pepper salt mantis shrimp
🍽️ Family Dining
Breakfast buffet is incredibly diverse with special low-height kids' serving area. We enjoyed fresh seafood hotpot at dinner buffet - even our picky eater devoured two plates of shrimp🦐
⚠️ Travel Tips
1. Booking: Weekend rooms sell fast - book sea view family suites (with play tent and tatami) 1 month ahead
2. Gear: Pack extra swimsuits (easily soaked at water park), also available at hotel shop
3. Sun Protection: Strong UV at beach - bring SPF50+ sunscreen and hats
💡 In a nutshell: New Century Resort Zhoushan has "parent liberation" in its DNA! From sea views to kids' facilities, every detail shines. Already counting down to our National Day return trip~
