Zhuhai Doumen | Seaside Countryside Stargazing Camp: Unlock a Mosquito-Free Rural Vacation Guide

Looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city but worried about pesky outdoor mosquitoes? The Seaside Countryside Stargazing Camp in Zhuhai Doumen might just be your ideal choice. After a two-day, one-night personal experience, here’s a concise guide to help you enjoy it to the fullest!

🌙 Accommodation: Comfort Meets Stargazing

The camp features tent-style accommodations, and we highly recommend the "Stargazing Tent": a spacious 40㎡ area equipped with a soft double bed and private bathroom with ample hot water, eliminating the cramped feeling of traditional camping. The highlight is the small terrace outside the tent—lie back on a lounge chair at night, gaze at the star-filled sky, and occasionally spot fireflies flitting by. It’s both romantic and soothing.

Bonus: The camp has recently installed a high-pressure mosquito control system that covers all accommodation and activity areas. Even for someone prone to mosquito bites, I wasn’t bothered at all, allowing me to fully enjoy the outdoors without carrying mosquito repellent!

🎡 Must-Try Activities: Fun for the Whole Family

👨👩👧👦 Family-Friendly Picks

• Rice Field Mini Train: A leisurely ride through the rice fields, with the scent of rice in the air. Along the way, you’ll see wildflowers and birds. Kids will cheer the whole time, and adults can take a moment to relax.

• Family Shrimp Fishing Pool: The pool is teeming with giant freshwater prawns. Staff provide fishing rods and bait, making it easy for beginners to catch something. The shrimp you catch can be cooked in the kitchen (choose garlic or boiled preparation), and it tastes especially delicious when it’s your own catch.

• Kids’ Playground + Pink Sand Pit: With slides, swings, and a pink sand pit, kids can play here for an entire afternoon while parents take a break nearby.

🌞 Relaxation for Adults

• Heated Pool: The water temperature is maintained at 28°C year-round, and the pool is crystal clear. Lounge chairs with shade are available poolside, perfect for sunbathing after a swim. Every snapshot here looks like a vacation postcard.

• Tent BBQ: Pre-order a 2-3 person meal (around 200 RMB) featuring fresh ingredients like beef, shrimp, and corn. Grills and tools are provided. In the evening, gather around your tent to barbecue and chat, creating a cozy, lively atmosphere.

• Nighttime Stargazing: Far from light pollution, the night sky is exceptionally clear. Occasionally, the camp offers telescope experiences with guides to help you identify constellations, bringing back childhood wonder.

📍 Transportation and Itinerary Suggestions

• Transportation: Driving is the most convenient option (navigate to the camp’s name). It’s a 1.5-hour drive from the city, with ample free parking. Public transportation requires transfers and is less convenient.

• Suggested Itinerary:

◦ Day 1: Check-in in the morning → Enjoy a farmhouse lunch (try the yellow catfish tofu soup) → Afternoon shrimp fishing + mini train ride → Evening pool time → Nighttime BBQ + stargazing.

◦ Day 2: Watch the rice field sunrise → Breakfast and kids’ playground time → Visit nearby villages before checkout and buy Doumen lychees as souvenirs.

💡 Practical Tips

1. Bring a light jacket for the temperature difference between day and night.
2. Wear light-colored clothing for better photos (matches the rice fields and starry sky).
3. Pre-order BBQ meals a day in advance to ensure availability.

After two days, with no mosquito disturbances, just countryside, starlit skies, and laughter, the experience was utterly rejuvenating. Whether you’re bringing kids, going on a date, or gathering with friends, you’ll find your own joy here. It’s definitely worth a visit!
