Things to do in Shengsi

The scenery is pretty good, but the taxis on the island are too expensive, costing 30 to 59 yuan for a short distance. I recommend self-driving, putting your luggage directly in the car and then driving on the boat.

Head to Gouqi Island in the East China Sea and encounter a crystal-clear blue ocean. Arrive by boat, the sea breeze carrying a salty scent that washes away all worries. Stroll along Dawang Beach, where soft golden sand accompanies the clear waves, making it a delightful experience to wade and collect seashells. Climb to the top for panoramic views of the mountains and sea, dotted with buoys from the sea ranches and fishing boats leisurely navigating the water. There are also deserted villages enveloped in greenery, their stone houses hidden among vines, like a real-life version of The Wizard of Oz. From sunrise to sunset, watch the sunset paint the sea red, and in the slow-paced island life, fully enjoy the mountains, the sea, and the evening breeze.

A taxi ride from Shengshan to the abandoned village costs 30 yuan. There are many steps leading downhill, and the abandoned houses and paths are overgrown with weeds. In summer, it's best to wear long pants to avoid mosquito bites. The journey there is easy, but climbing back up the steps is a bit tiring; older people should proceed with caution. The abandoned houses are scattered across the mountainside in a pleasing, irregular pattern, covered in lush greenery, and are quite extensive.

I have to review this. Buying online is very convenient. Getting up early to watch the sunrise meant no need to queue; just scan the code to enter. This made it easy to secure a good spot. After watching the sunrise, remember to check out the Sky Ladder!

Huanglong Island is quite fun. There happened to be a hiking meeting these two days. Although the weather was bad, there were still many people. They were the points on the map. Almost no one stopped, only the beautiful house and the bareback mountain. The beautiful house should be very beautiful if the weather is good, because I brought my mother with me. Otherwise, Huanglong Island is very suitable for cycling. One day is enough to ride along the sea.

Super cute area! which a nice beach and a lovely sunset view!

Accompanying the elderly to see West Lake, we bought tickets to go to the small island to see Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. We boarded the boat at Yue Temple Wharf and disembarked at Flower Harbor Viewing Fish Wharf, which also allowed us to visit Leifeng Pagoda and Jingci Temple.

This is a coastal road that is definitely worth going to. It is suitable for hiking or riding a small electric donkey, especially when the sea is blue and watching the sunset! There are also several beautiful B&Bs at the end of the road. There are also cafes in the B&Bs. We sat in front of the Huasha B&B for an afternoon. It is worth experiencing.

The sea water is really clear and blue. You can sit in the B&B and listen to the sound of the waves and watch the sea all day. I recommend this B&B that can only be reached by climbing a mountain. Although the journey is a bit difficult, the scenery is invincible and the cost performance is very high. You must go to the uninhabited village once
