The off-season Shengsi Archipelago is simply a paradise on earth
Last weekend, seizing the clear weather, I embarked on the long-awaited trip to the Shengsi Archipelago🚤☀️~ To be honest, the mood for traveling really does correlate with the weather!
When it comes to traveling in early spring, many people shake their heads, but actually, there's a little secret — that is to pick a good weather day!😉 Because dear, without the warm sun of summer, the color of the sea looks like its saturation has been turned down, plus the howling sea breeze and the bone-chilling cold, if it's not a sunny day for the trip, the experience will definitely be discounted. We actually roamed two islands this time, the first day was quite average due to the cloudy sky over the main island of Shengsi; so a little tip: for an off-season trip to Shengsi, you must choose a sunny day!🌤️
For those who yearn for the azure sea, there are not many choices in the off-season, but Dongfushan Island and Gouqi Island — will definitely satisfy you! Although the first day on the main island did not witness the dreamlike clear water, the blue dream finally came true on the second day at Gouqi Island.
I'm here to recommend some spots!😜 Personal must-visit places include: the Sea Pasture, Beichao Yang, Left Bank Road, and Dongya Cliff. Trust me, they will absolutely make you cry with their beauty.
Specifically, arrive at the main island of Shengsi at noon on the first day, rent an electric scooter in the afternoon, and rest early in the evening. The next morning, chase the sunrise at Beichao Yang, stroll leisurely along the Left Bank Road, and of course, taking photos is a must (you know, not just of the sea but also of people😂). Then head to Gouqi Island, where the east cliff is the best spot for sunbathing and sea viewing. On the way back, don't forget to pass by the Sea Pasture, it's all beautiful scenery along the way.
A warm reminder: the early mornings of early spring are not jokingly cold! We are brave little electric scooter knights, but neither a windbreaker nor a down jacket can withstand the severe cold of the morning. So, my friends, I suggest you take a taxi instead!🚗
Let me tell you secretly, the deck view on the return trip from Gouqi to Shanghai is simply intoxicating. The combination of blues and sunset is simply yyds (forever godlike)!
To sum up, if you are like me, a buddy from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, or Shanghai, you can't miss the off-season Shengsi! It's not expensive (about six or seven hundred per person), you can avoid the crowds and enjoy good weather, it's simply a cost-effective choice with off-the-charts value~ I haven't really seen the sea properly since graduating from elementary school, and this time I finally went wild with the sea again🌊💙~
Overall, it is satisfactory, but there is no food. KFC has closed down. The mother and baby room is generally the same. The door cannot be closed. The sea water is yellow. It may be related to the weather, but overall it is OK.
Shengsi Islands, which are under the jurisdiction of Shengsi County, are located east of Hangzhou Bay and southeast of the Yangtze River Estuary. It is composed of hundreds of islands at the confluence of Qiantang River and the Yangtze River into the sea, including more than 404 islands of large and small size, including Dayang Mountain, Xiaoyang Mountain, Shenjiawan Island, and Bodaozui Island. Among them, there are 16 inhabited islands. The largest island is Sijiao Mountain, with an area of 21.2 square kilometers.
Shengsi Islands are the only national-level island scenic spots in the country, known as the "sea fairy mountain", with the original ecological tourism characteristics such as "bihaiqi reef, sands fishing fire", and have been identified as more than 50 scenic spots.
In the summer of July, island tours became the yearning of everyone.
Shengsi Island is very worth a visit, the scenery is beautiful, especially you can go to the beach to pick up shellfish. If you book a homestay in advance, you will have a more fulfilling sense of processing yourself.
The Spring Festival from Ningxia to Hangzhou Shaoxing to Shanghai to Shengsi County! The strong old fishing village feels! The seafood is really good! Changed three homestays! Finally found a newly opened one! Shi Yanyue B&B, really good for one price! Four or five hundred a day is much better than one or two hundred! There is a big gap between sheets, mattresses, bathrooms, TVs, towels, etc.! The room is a lot of intelligence! Curtains, TV bathroom trash cans are intelligent and modern! Come here is a leisure vacation! Tired room can be projected! The family watches the blockbuster! You can also go to other islands! The craftsmanship of the proprietress of the hotel is really good! 700 seafood restaurants! The same in the homestay! It's more than 300! And it's a change of tricks every day to make you the taste of a farmhouse! Eating downstairs! After eating, you can have a good tea with the child and the elderly, as well as free fruit! The couple are very enthusiastic! It should be said that the owner of every homestay is very enthusiastic! The difference is the difference between the price and the location! There are also health and craftsmanship! Don't talk about the environmental sanitation of the sheets for one or two hundred! It's also the feeling of being at home for the old seven days! Five days Shengsi Spring Festival tour! I hope it will be helpful to you for the first time.
