[2025 Shengsi Attraction] Travel Guide for Shengshan Island (Updated Apr)

We traveled to a small island in the East China sea, ShengShan, and discovered this abandoned fishing village. The location is quite a little ways up the mountain so I'd suggest going early if you're walking or taking a Taxi if you're willing to pay the steep fee. The views were absolutely breathtaking and every bit of sweat it took walking up there. After strolling the abandoned fishing village and taking way too many photos we walked back down the mountain and enjoyed some ice cream and beer in town. If ever you find yourself there, this is a must! #staycation#gooutside#mountainview#summervacation#cafe#awesomepic#naturalwonders#beaches

The mussel breeding industry is particularly developed and named by the Provincial Marine Fisheries Bureau as the Hometown of Mussels in Zhejiang Province. The Mussel Culture Festival is held from September to October every year. During the festival, a grand cultural and entertainment show will be held. The atmosphere of joy will last for a whole month.

The white float floats on the surface of the sea, the sun is shining, and the waves are shining. At this moment, I understand why so many photographers have been passionate for n times, and it is indeed a beautiful island.

Early in the morning, I came to the beach early, waiting for the sun to rise slowly from the sea level.

🌅 A Weekend Getaway to the Secret Realm of Gouqi Island: Two Days and One Night of Non-Conformist Fun! 🗺 Itinerary: 🔵 Day 1: Depart from Shanghai Nanpu Bridge Bus Station in the early morning to Shenjiawan Bus Station, then take a direct ferry to Gouqi Island. Upon arrival, head straight to Dawang Beach, stroll to the Shanhai Qiguan Cliff Carvings in the afternoon, and relax at Longquan Beach in the evening before climbing to the Ganxie Viewing Platform to watch the sunset. 🔵 Day 2: Sunrise at Dongya Cliff and Exploring the Abandoned Village. In the early morning, head to Dongya Cliff to greet the sunrise, then take a nap before visiting the abandoned village of Shengshan, enjoying the thrill of exploration. 🏞 Recommended Attractions: - Dawang Beach🏖️: Fine sand and clear water, a top choice for summer cooling, but the 25 RMB ticket is quite expensive. - Shanhai Qiguan Cliff Carvings: A blend of nature and culture, perfect for wasting an afternoon at a nearby café. - Longquan Beach: Located just below Shanhai Qiguan, this beach is free but not very clean, with lots of trash. Good for a casual visit, and there's a pier nearby for sea fishing. - Ganxie Viewing Platform: Check the sunset time in advance, arrive early to get the best spot, and enjoy the spectacular orange sunset and sea view. - Dongya Cliff: The best place to watch the sunrise, with golden sunlight spreading over the sea. However, check the weather in advance; we didn't see a perfect sunrise this time. The 50 RMB ticket is also quite a rip-off. - Shengshan Abandoned Village: Abandoned houses covered in greenery, full of adventure fun. It's very hot now, and climbing up and down the mountain can easily cause heatstroke, so be sure to take precautions. The 60 RMB ticket is also quite a rip-off. 🍜 Food Recommendations: Sanmao Noodle House (Shengshan Island), Yiwanyixian (Gouqi Island). The weather is too hot, so everyone prefers simple meals. We chose these two noodle houses, and they were both okay. 🏨 Accommodation Options: To watch the sunrise, we stayed at Wenhai Villa near Dongya Cliff on Shengshan Island. It's about a ten-minute walk to Dongya Cliff. We rented an entire villa, and the hostess was very hospitable. Dinner can also be arranged. 🚗 Transportation: Depart from the side of Shanghai Nanpu Bridge and take the earliest ferry directly to Gouqi Island. Tickets can be purchased on the Shengsi Passenger Transport WeChat public account. The transportation options from Shanghai to Gouqi Island are as follows: High-speed ferry: fast, about 2 hours; Passenger roll-on/roll-off ship: allows vehicles, about 3 hours and 30 minutes. On the island: Taxis, generally costing 30-60 RMB depending on the distance. We took a taxi from Gouqi to Shengshan Island for 80 RMB. Each car can seat 6 people, so the per capita cost is reasonable but still quite expensive. 👀 Travel TIPS: ✅ Book ferry tickets in advance to ensure smooth boarding. ✅ Bring sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays. ✅ When exploring the abandoned village, pay attention to safety and respect the natural environment. ㅤ

Location: Green Wonderland No Man's Village Place: Northeast of Shengshan Island, Shengsi County, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province Ticket: 60R On the easternmost small island of our country, I found a deserted village, and every year from May to September, during the summer, it will be occupied by ivy, putting on a thick layer of "green" clothing, just like a real-life 'Green Wonderland', a fairy tale world filled with a mysterious atmosphere!!! Little tips: Transportation on the island is quite limited, with only buses and taxis available. The No Man's Village is not accessible by bus, so you can only take a taxi there, and the taxis have a fixed price depending on the distance, which is 30-60 per car, so it's more cost-effective for more people to share a taxi when visiting the island!

It is named for the large number of goji berries that grow on the island. The layered houses are embedded on the cliffs, known as the 'Potala Palace on the Sea'. 😉About the attractions 📍Mountain and Sea Spectacle Climbing to the top of the Mountain and Sea Spectacle, one can see the beautiful scenery of mountains, reefs, beaches, clouds, sky, and sea, which is refreshing and uplifting. The four huge characters 'Mountain and Sea Spectacle' are carved on the eastern cliff, inscribed by the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian during the Ming Dynasty, Hou Jigao. 📍Dawang Beach As the largest beach on Gouqi Island, located in Dawang Village, the beach is about 200 meters long and 20 meters wide, with fine sand quality. However, it is now fenced off due to a fee. Free beaches include Siyao Beach and Ganmiao Beach. 📍Sea Ranch Gouqi Island is the hometown of mussels, with white buoys twinkling under the sunlight, fishing boats shuttling through the green waves, forming a beautiful sea ranch painting. 📍Sunset Ganxie Pier Ganxie Pier is currently the only pier for tourists to enter and leave Gouqi Island, and it is also an excellent spot for shooting sunsets in the evening. 📍Sea Fishing You can book a sea fishing trip from the fishermen's joy, follow the boat owner to the ranch, and experience the charm of the fishermen's life. The sea waves near the shore are usually not big, so seasickness is unlikely, and the cost is about 150 yuan per person. It takes half an hour to reach the nearshore ranch by boat, and sea fishing generally uses lure fishing rods, with a high success rate of catching fish. 📍Shengshan Island 🏞️Dongya Cliff Take a taxi from Gouqi Island to Shengshan Island, connected by the Sanjiao River Bridge.

Lushan is a major fishing port in China. It is called the famous mountain, Shenqian Mountain, Chen Qianshan or the mountain. It is located 35.2 kilometers east of Caiyuan Town, near the island of Qidao in the west, and the nearest shore of the two islands is only 700 meters. The old name of Lushan is Dashan, meaning the islands are all but the best. Also called "Chen Qianshan". At the time of Guangxu, a fishing port town was formed. The prosperity of the port has been included in the national first-class fishing port and the second-class open port, and the largest fishery communication station in the country, the Lushan Concentration Station. In recent years, it has developed marine aquaculture and has become the largest fresh seafood export base in Zhejiang Province. The East Pole Island is not the most eastern inhabited island in China.
