Escape the Crowds! Top-tier Secluded Island Near Shanghai

🌊Help! I found a real-life "Glass Sea Island" near Shanghai Just got back from Shengsi Island and I'm recommending it to everyone! Coming here on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds was such a smart move~ Waking up to 180° unobstructed ocean views every day🌊, even my dreams were filled with the salty sea breeze🌅! 🏨What's it like staying at the island's prime spot? I discovered a hidden gem: "Shengsi Yuyue Seaview Hotel"! The experience was absolutely perfect💯! ✅Newly opened with super clean bedding, the 19th floor sea view room makes you feel like the ocean is right in your room🌊 ✅Two free tickets to Nanchangtu Beach🎫 (saving 100 yuan for more seafood!) ✅Bus stop right behind the hotel🚌, and every nearby food stall serves amazing food - fresh seafood for just 50 yuan per person until you're stuffed🦞 ✅Parents with kids will love this👩👧! Kid's rooms come with toys🧸, and the beach downstairs is perfect for sand play and tide pooling - moms can finally relax all day🤗 👇Click on the "hotel name" below to book! These rooms go fast! ------ 📸These 4 photo spots will drain your phone battery! 🌊Left Bank Road: Rent an electric scooter🛵 (30/hour) and capture blue-white road signs + colorful fishing villages + coastline - every shot looks like a scene from a Japanese film🎞️ 🌅Nanchangtu Beach: Heart-shaped rocks appear during low tide💝! Bring fairy sticks🎇/transparent umbrellas☂️ for stunning sunset silhouettes🌄 🌅Liujing Pool Sunrise: Lazy version - watch directly from your hotel room! At 5:30 AM, the horizon turns golden-red, and you can enjoy the sunrise while wrapped in your blanket☀️ 🎨Donghai Fishing Village: Walls covered with colorful fishermen paintings🎭, grab a local specialty sea moss jelly (5 yuan/bowl)🍧 and take photos while walking - full of local charm 🍤Hidden food spots only locals know about! ▪️Teacher Hou's Restaurant: Razor clams piled high on iron plates! The garlic sauce penetrates every piece of meat, so fresh it makes your tongue tremble😋 ▪️Little Cabin Seafood Restaurant: Must-try green onion oil mussels! The meat is bigger than a coin, and you'll want two bowls of noodles with that sauce🍜 ▪️Night market hidden gem: Grilled squid tentacles🦑 at 10 yuan for 3 skewers, freshly grilled by grandma and covered in sesame seeds - worth the wait! 🌼April-May limited romantic experience! Visit now to catch the island's Chinese tallow trees in full bloom! The island road is lined with white flowering trees🌸, riding through feels like entering an anime~ I even went fishing with a local fisherman! We caught half a basket of mantis shrimp and swimming crabs🦀, took them straight to a restaurant for cooking - incredibly fresh! 🚢Complete transportation guide (with tips to avoid pitfalls) ✔️From Shanghai, drive to Shenjiawan Pier and buy a "car-ferry combo ticket"🚗 (book in advance through "Shengsi Ferry") ✔️Island transportation: Public buses cost 2 yuan/person but are infrequent🚌, better to rent electric scooters🛵 (50-80 yuan/day) or take taxis (short trips cost 20-30 yuan) ✔️Outfit Tips: Bring white/blue long dresses👗 + straw bags🧺! Wear non-slip shoes👟 when taking photos on rocky areas 💡Bonus tip! Every Saturday night, there's an open-air movie🎦 at the fishing port~ We munched on barbecue🍢 while watching "The Legend of 1900" with ocean waves as background sound - so therapeutic! For those looking for a less crowded island getaway during May Day holiday or weekends, head here! My tested, reliable guide is ready below👇
