#the Westin Zhujiajian Resort, Zhoushan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Zhoushan or Sanya
We go to Zhujiajian by driving 300 kilometers from Shanghai, which takes about 5 hours. This time we chose to stay in a B&B in the exclusive Greentown area next to the Westin Hotel. The B&B has a large balcony and you can directly see the beach in the Nansha Scenic Area. You can watch the sunrise in the morning and fireworks in the evening. It only takes 10 minutes by car to Nansha Scenic Area, which is very convenient.
The next day we drove to the pier and took a boat to Mount Putuo. We saw the most beautiful coastline on the island, which is as beautiful as the seas in Indonesia. The tickets of Putuo Mountain ticket and shuttle boat cost 220rmb in total, which is still a bit expensive. We returned to Shanghai that afternoon. It is highly recommended to take your children to the beach.

Those planning to go to Zhoushan, take a look here or you might regret it
Zhoushan, this coastal city, will punish anyone who doesn't plan their trip carefully. Here, accommodations, dining, transportation, and Mount Putuo all require special attention.
Accommodations:
Firstly, I recommend the Westin Hotel, which has a great environment, fresh air, no issues with the restaurants, and is close to the beach. Sisters with a budget can go for it. The price is moderate, and the service is thoughtful. Next, be wary of guesthouses that might seem like a bargain; although they are cheap, the room environment and location are poor, and the owners can be unfriendly. Now is the off-peak season for tourism, and according to locals, the price of guesthouses should be around 200-300 yuan. So, sisters who care about price and location must compare more and look at real feedback.
Dining:
Although the fishing ban limits seafood availability, the belt fish is still delicious. On the first day, I ate at Sichuan Haijia near the hotel, which was recommended by the hotel staff as a chain restaurant with good taste but slightly expensive prices. On the second day, I tried Gaojiazhuang, recommended by locals, and it was great. On the third day, I had seafood noodles near the hotel, and it was my first time trying them; I loved it. There's a coffee shop nearby run by a couple who are super nice and offer some local travel tips. Overall, dining in Zhoushan was quite good, and I didn't encounter any disappointments.
Mount Putuo:
Due to heavy fog, the ferry service was suspended, and I didn't get to the island until after noon. Because of the tight schedule, I didn't have a proper meal in Putuo but just bought some snacks from the shops. The scenery in Putuo is beautiful; I took the cable car up and hiked down. But maybe because I haven't exercised in a long time, my legs hurt for three days after the trip. It's best to check the weather forecast before you go.
Transportation:
I suggest using ride-hailing services for the entire trip. Now that ride-hailing is very convenient, and since traveling for a day is tiring, I didn't consider other modes of transportation. If I come back for a longer stay in the future, I might consider renting a small electric vehicle or something similar.
Overall, aside from the unpleasant experience with the guesthouse on the first day, I really like this place. The air, greenery, scenery, and food are all great. I would come back if I have the chance. Traveling isn't necessarily about visiting many famous scenic spots; slowing down, changing the scenery, and experiencing local life can also be a way to relax.
That's my travel guide to Zhoushan, and I hope it can help tourists who are planning to visit. Remember to protect yourself from the sun, bring rain gear, keep a happy mood, and enjoy your trip!

Super nice vacation hotel~
Avoid the crowd and come to Zhoushan to see the sea. This time I stayed at the Westin Resort in Zhoushan. There will be a courtesy reception at the door, and you can see the iconic WESTIN sign when you enter the lobby.
Checked into a sea view room. The room is very large, with double basins, bathtubs, balcony sea views, and a refrigerator with small drinks. Sitting on the balcony and blowing the sea breeze, listening to the sea is very comfortable. The hotel has many rest areas, and it's very picturesque to walk around. The hotel is a 3-minute walk to the Dongsha Scenic Area, and the hotel gives free tickets, so you can enter for free. The beach in the Dongsha Scenic Area is not as big as Nansha and Daqingshan, but the first experience of the waves and the beach is still good, and it is also very convenient. There are several breakfast islands, and the meals are slightly different every day, but I love to eat just a few things, so I didn't taste much. The banquet hall's dinner is very nice, and the seafood is very fresh. The waiters in the restaurant serve with disinfection gloves, and their attitudes are very good, this point is commendable. In the evening, there will be a band performing in the lobby, and a slightly drunk cup is also very romantic~

The Westin Zhoushan Hotel
with a private beach overlooking the sea is like a resort with a variety of villas for sale, and the hotels main building is quite stylish, as always, the Westins style. Although we stayed in the room where we could see the sea view, it was unfortunately arranged at the corner of the building. It was not facing the sea. We couldnt feel the feeling of opening the curtains, but the room was quite spacious. It was inconvenient that the bed was only A socket...
People who come to this hotel for a holiday, I dont think it will stay in the hotel all the time. After all, there is a great outdoor open-air swimming pool. In order to ensure safety, the staff on the edge of the pool is very caring. . Coupled with the unique natural scenery, it is definitely a kind of ambiguity in the outdoor, lying on the couch and sunbathing is also OK, too much sun can also find a net red bed to sleep a lazy afternoon. Of course, the best thing is definitely to go to the beach and get close to the sea, but the opening of the sea is time-limited.
may also be to attract more parents and children, so there are a lot of doll machines in the hotel lobby, gymnasiums for adults, and children's entertainment areas.
