Ningbo Songlan Mountain shines as a coastal retreat

As dawn broke over the East China Sea, Songlan Mountain Tourist Resort in Xiangshan county, Ningbo welcomed a wave of visitors eager to see its famed Sunrise Pavilion.

From all directions, tourists gathered along the beach, awaiting the first golden rays. When sunlight pierced the clouds, the horizon transformed into a canvas of orange, gold, and blue — an awe-inspiring spectacle met with gasps and the rhythmic roar of waves.

In the morning, the open seaside bathing area came alive with laughter and splashes. Families and thrill-seekers alike waded into the surf, embraced the sea breeze, and cooled off with wave-chasing and surfing.

With its all-day charm — sunrise views, all-day waves, and evening sea breezes, Songlan Mountain Tourist Resort has emerged as a top destination on the Yangtze River Delta's summer travel map.
