Secret get away island near Shanghai

Visited Shengsi Island which only takes a 1hour ferry from Yangshan port. Although it was winter and very windy, the island has a lot to offer. First there is probably the most beautiful monastery I’ve ever visited. And we pretty much had the place to ourself. Second was the hike to the light tower. It is an easy leisure walk with some steep steps, and the most amazing views of the sea and island nearby. We took the last ferry back at 6 pm. WARNING: the shuttle bus to get you from Yangshan port to the nearest metro line ends at 5:30 pm #chinatravel #nature #freehotelstay #falltrip
