[2025 Shengsi Attraction] Travel Guide for Donghai Fishing Village (Updated Mar)

Shengsi, Zhoushan 🚢 “If there was another boat leaving, would you go with me?” This line from *In the Mood for Love* can be easily recreated with just a simple bag. 🐟 “The air here is fresh, and the snacks are unique.” Mountains, water, and farmland—this is practically my ideal living environment, a place where I can escape the hustle and bustle of the world. Due to the impact of this year's major epidemic, buying ferry tickets took several hours, including waiting time. We arrived in Shengsi by boat at around 4 p.m. After checking in at the front desk, we were starving, so we quickly asked the butler to bring us a bowl of seafood noodles to share. Afterward, we drove to the Jinghai Road farmers market. The market has two floors: the first floor sells cooked food and seafood, and the second floor sells vegetables, soy products, and poultry. (Pictures of the seafood at the farmers market are shared here.) After buying seafood and vegetables, we headed back and asked the guesthouse butler to help us prepare them. The steamed seafood was fresh and sweet, while the braised seafood had a richer flavor. While at the market, we bought lychees from a fruit stand and RIO from a nearby supermarket. The combination of the two was amazing, like an upgraded version of the childhood drink Xuefeili. Donghai Fishing Village offers a glimpse into the lives of the villagers and stunning views of the vast sea. When returning, you can book ferry tickets in advance on the official WeChat app. Otherwise, it might be difficult to get same-day tickets if you're traveling in a large group.

Each piece embodies the wisdom and love for life of the fishing village people, making it hard to resist taking a few home as souvenirs of this wonderful journey. The sea of Cinque Terre has an enchanting allure. The water is crystal clear, and under the sunlight, it appears in a captivating light blue color. The underwater rocks and swimming fish are clearly visible. The waves gently lap against the shore rocks, creating white splashes and producing a pleasant sound, like an endless ocean song. The beach is soft and delicate, like stepping on cotton.

As evening approaches, the sun gradually sets, and the sky is dyed orange-red. The afterglow spreads over every corner of Cinque Terre, draping a dreamy veil over the colorful houses and calm sea. At this moment, Cinque Terre is tranquil and beautiful, with a faint seafood aroma in the air, wafting from the fishing village restaurants by the sea, making one's mouth water. Tasting freshly caught seafood, feeling the sea breeze, and admiring the dreamlike scenery before you, this is probably what the beauty of life is all about.

【Shengsi Tidal Flat Fishing Trip】 The summer sun is shining brightly, making it the perfect time to go tidal flat fishing by the sea. This time, we went to the Shengsi Archipelago in Zhoushan and embarked on an unforgettable tidal flat fishing trip. Essential Items: Sun-protective clothing, sun hat, sunscreen, sand digging tools, spare clothes, swim ring, swimsuit, slippers, iodine cotton swabs Self-driving Route: Depart from Shenjiawan Wharf and park at P4 parking lot. Remember to buy your ferry tickets in advance. Cruise Choice: Due to seasickness, we chose a slower high-speed passenger ship. Although it is slower, you can still enjoy the beautiful sea view.

However, we chose a very ordinary Sui Xin Homestay, which, although it doesn't include breakfast, is conveniently located. Tidal Flat Fishing Recommendations: First, we recommend Jihu Beach. The sand here is very fine, suitable for various activities. There are many small crabs on the beach, and you can also collect shells. It's a great place for tidal flat fishing. If you want to play until the evening, you can buy a night ticket for only 20 yuan. Donghai Fishing Village: Free of charge. If you want to catch fish, you can go without worry. Although the seawater here is not as good as Jihu, it can satisfy your desire to catch fish while tidal flat fishing, and children will be very happy.

"From tomorrow on, be a happy person. Feed horses, chop wood, travel around the world. From tomorrow on, care about food and vegetables. I have a house facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming..." Every time I read Haizi's poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", I am moved by its simple and clear yet profound and fresh language. This expresses the protagonist's desire to be "a happy person". Between the lines, it is full of vitality and vitality, which makes people can't help but yearn for it! So, the question is! After a busy year, where should I go to experience a relaxing atmosphere? To be a fisherman, to experience the life of a fisherman? It is recommended to come to the "Happy Fishing Village" in Zhejiang in 2024! You can "be a fisherman for a day and live a fisherman's life for a day"! What I want to talk about is the East Sea Fishing Village scenic spot, as a "happy fishing village", when you walk into the village, you can smell the happy atmosphere! As everyone expected, the East Sea Fishing Village is a coastal village. Here are the highlights such as the Great Compassion Mountain Lingyin Temple, Jianzhen's Eastward Crossing Site, Tianao Beach, Coastal Wooden Plank Road, Shengsi Ocean Culture Museum, etc. You can face the sea, pick up shells on the island reef, fish in the blue sea, and fish on the beach, allowing people to fully touch the blue sea. After arriving at the fishing village, you can see the brightly colored houses for the first time. There are childish graffiti on them, contrasting with the sea breeze and the sea. A random shot is very out of the picture! From dawn to sunset, the changes of light and shadow are reflected on the colorful walls, either bright or warm, complementing the distant green mountains and blue sea. After a moment of rest, you can contact the sea. Take off your shoes, you can immediately go to the beach, step on the sand, chase the waves, pick up shells, it is simply relaxing and comfortable. Interestingly, this fishing village also has a "fisherman's joy" project. Simply put, that is, tourists can have a taste of being a fisherman and embark on a "fisherman's journey of watching the sunrise, driving a boat to catch fish and shrimp, picking up shells on the reef, and exploring myths"! This not only attracts countless urban tourists to fight the wind and waves, enjoy the sea, taste life, but also experience the perfect artistic conception in the poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming"! After experiencing the "fisherman" life, you can also worship Buddha! Prepare to come to the Great Compassion Mountain Lingyin Temple to worship Buddha. Standing at the entrance of Lingyin Temple, you can overlook the entire East Sea Fishing Village. The ships in the distant sea look very small here, spectacular. You can also see the popular S Bay Highway, a random shot is a proper island blockbuster. After taking the picture, you can enter the Lingyin Temple. The temple is built on the mountain, with three rooms each in the north and south, covering a total area of more than 400 square meters, with buildings such as the Heavenly King Hall, Reading Room, Three Saints Hall, Yuantong Treasure Hall, Dizang Hall, and Daxiong Treasure Hall. Worshiping Buddha in it, you can experience the long history of the temple and the prosperous incense. After worshiping Buddha, standing on the top of the mountain and looking far away, the view is excellent, and the two large beaches of Jihu and Nanchangtu are in sight, which is a place to "overlook all the small islands"! In communication with fellow tourists, everyone feels that the East Sea Fishing Village is really a treasure land. Going out is the beach, with an excellent location and superb view! Moreover, the most important thing is that these are real "sea view rooms", which are very enjoyable! After eating and drinking, playing on the beach for a while, you can go out to sea to fish by boat, 100 for adults, about an hour back and forth by boat. If it is a small boat, you need to take motion sickness medicine in advance. The fishing process is very fun. After returning, you can let the homestay owner process it, the taste is very good! Of course, for those who don't like to go out to sea, you can also worship Buddha or ride a bike. The Buddha worship is the Great Compassion Mountain Lingyin Temple, and the ride is an electric car. You can set off at 5:30 in the evening, ride and watch the sunset. I believe that after two days, you can relax and get a better mentality and experience!
