Jinglan Boyuan (Tranquil Wave Lodge)
Nestled in the rolling folds of Laoshan Mountain’s seas and hills, Jinglan Boyuan hides in the quiet serenity of Gangdong Community, Wanggezhuang Town. For guests arriving by car, the soft crunch of tires on the asphalt is carried away by the sea breeze—and the parking lot is right at hand. If you come from Puli Subway Station, a 15-minute drive will sweep you into the embrace of this mountain-and-sea landscape, brewing just the right touch of gentle anticipation for your arrival.
The ten guest rooms exude a minimalist freshness, like canvases brushed by the sea wind. Some rooms feature 270-degree sea views framed by large floor-to-ceiling windows: when morning light spills over the bed linen, you can watch the sun lift sheets of golden glow from the ocean’s surface; as dusk paints the sky, you can gaze at the sunset tinting the waves amber. Every glance is a gift from nature. The terrace serves as a cozy spot for sea viewing—lean against the railing in the evening, watch the waves dance with the glowing sunset, and let your heart slow down, immersed in pure tranquility.
The tidal flat downstairs holds childlike fun: grab a small bucket to go "tide-hunting"—clams blow bubbles in the sand, and little crabs scuttle sideways like they’re waltzing, letting you play to your heart’s content. Pets are welcome too, free to run and frolic as they and their owners dive into the embrace of the sea breeze. The café wafts with the rich aroma of roasted coffee beans; the bar’s lights twinkle in harmony with the stars; and the restaurant may serve seafood just hauled fresh from the ocean—eating and drinking here is all about following your mood.
Nearby attractions, such as Laoshan Scenic Area, Yangkou Beach, Qingshan Fishing Village, and Huayan Temple, are like pearls scattered across the mountains and sea. Spend your days exploring them: watch the landscape unfold like a scroll of mountains and waters, and listen to the soft flow of local cultural stories. At night, return to the lodge and drift off to sleep to the sound of waves. Each day here feels as smooth and comforting as if ironed by the sea breeze.
