May in Gouqi Island | Every Spot Is Beautiful in My Heart
| Every Spot Is Beautiful in My Heart. I've truly mastered the art of finding the best island near Shanghai!!
May in Gouqi Island, every frame looks like a movie scene, every breath tastes like sweet sea breeze!!
Whether you want romantic scenery, photo opportunities, fun with kids, or a family vacation, this place has it all!!
For those in Shanghai who don't know where to go for the May holiday, Gouqi Island is the perfect choice!
✨Catch a sunrise at East Cliff, when the first ray of sunlight hits the sea, it's breathtakingly beautiful!
✨Chase the blue tears of bioluminescent algae💧, the coastline looks like it's lit up by the Milky Way, maximum romance!
✨The sunset at the Sea Ranch comes with its own natural filter🌇, sit on the rocks and watch fishing boats return to harbor, such an atmospheric experience!
✨Venture into the Green Fairyland Abandoned Village🌿, surrounded by greenery, every casual photo looks like a scene from a Miyazaki anime!
🏡Gouqi Island Hidden Gem Hotel Recommendation — Shengshan Seaview Hotel👍
✅Get "Our Little Sister" movie-style healing views right from your bed! Open the window to a 270° panorama of the colorful fishing port🎨, watch boats coming and going⛵️, like living in a Miyazaki animation~
✅🚌The bus stop is right downstairs, with direct routes to East Cliff and Abandoned Village, no need to fight for transportation or deal with crowds, vacation experience maximized!! Sea view rooms at affordable prices, and there's even a card room🃏in the hotel, playing mahjong with friends while overlooking the sea is pure joy~
✅Here's the highlight!! Just a 200-meter walk to the seafood market🦞, join locals at 4 AM to get the freshest fish from the first catch🐟, buy and cook immediately for incredible freshness!! This value for money makes my heart race💓!

⚠️ Things to avoid
1️⃣ Island transportation is limited to taxis🚕and walking, taxis don't use meters! 30-50 yuan within one island, 90-100 yuan between islands, share rides when possible!
2️⃣ Ask your hotel to call taxis🚖to avoid being overcharged~
3️⃣ Bring motion sickness medicine! The boat journey is long, and you can easily get seasick when the waves are rough!
