Huaniao Island in Shengsi county, Zhoushan, East China's Zhejiang province, was highlighted at the opening of the 6th Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Industries Expo on Nov 20, where its tourism model of romance and art was named among the region's latest cultural and economic cases.

In recent years, Huaniao Island has developed a high-end holiday destination that merges artistic stays, wedding photography, and romance-themed experiences. Its coastal scenery, fishing-village heritage, and creative aesthetics have given the island a distinct identity and strengthened its appeal among travelers seeking immersive holidays.

The island is continuing to focus on romance-themed development, building new experiential spaces and planning cultural events along an art-inspired coastal corridor. The island is also expanding its micro-drama locations, adding AR projections and interactive installations that have attracted multiple film and television productions.

The island's lighthouse, clear waters, night skies, and glowing sea have made it a popular setting for travel photography. Visitors can also stay in local guesthouses to experience the calm rhythm of island life and connect with the warmth of the fishing community. Huaniao Island continues to evolve, offering travelers new experiences with every visit.
