Nanhuizui is a major feature of Lingang tourism because it faces the East China Sea and the sunrise in the morning. On the East Sea sea, the windmills also look so unique under the morning sun.
After watching the sunrise in the hotel room, I went back to bed and dozed off, only to wake up and enjoy breakfast on the hotel terrace without any hassle. This is what a vacation is all about, sleeping when you want to sleep and eating when you want to eat.
