A paradise for anglers and a hidden gem for camping

The breathtaking island in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region - Yushan Island 😍, has been on my mind for so long! This small island may not be large, but it's filled with pristine charm, where you can wander freely 👣. It's not overly developed yet, which is just fantastic 😎! On a clear day, the sea is so blue it's intoxicating 🌊, and if you're lucky, you might even encounter the magical blue tears 💧! I finally fulfilled my dream of camping on the island and sea fishing before the high temperatures hit 🎣! 🚗 For transportation: I strongly recommend driving to Shipu Pier 🚗, taking a boat around nine in the morning, with the journey taking about 3 hours 🕙. For those who get seasick, remember to take motion sickness medicine in advance 💊, or choose a seat near the stern of the boat 😉. If you're taking a high-speed train, you'll need to transfer to a bus directly to Shipu at Ningbo Station 🚌. We drove from Shanghai, so we arrived at Shipu the afternoon before and stayed overnight, then took the ferry the next day 🚢. 🏠 For accommodation: The island's facilities are limited, and rooms during holidays can be scarce, so be sure to book in advance 📱! There are no cars on the island, and transportation is by tricycle 🛺. Upon arrival at the pier, the B&B owner will pick you up with a tricycle 🤗. If interested, you can also bring your own tent for camping ⛺️, which is free, but spots are first-come, first-served 😉! You can see the sunrise just by opening your tent 🌅, but there is a lot of moisture by the sea, and the tent will have a lot of dew at night 💧, along with mosquitoes and bugs 🐛, so it's best to prepare mosquito repellent 🦟. 🍽 For dining: Most B&Bs provide meals 🍲, mainly seafood 🦀️, and vegetables are a luxury on this island 🥦. 🎣 Fishing is really superb: Yushan Island is known as 'Asia's No. 1 Fishing Ground' 🎣, with abundant fishery resources 🐟. This season has greenling and hairtail, and if you have a fishing rod, you can bring your own, or rent one in the village 🎣. Greenling are easy to catch, almost every time you drop the hook there's a bite, and often you'll pull up a string of them 😲, it's really worth experiencing 😎! Hairtail fishing is mainly at night, but with good luck, you can catch them during the day too 🤩. Some other details: The village has a convenience store and a health clinic 🛒, where you can buy snacks, fruits, and motion sickness medicine, etc. 💊. Although Yushan Island is quite primitive and resources are limited, the scenery is truly breathtaking 😍, the sea is unbelievably blue 🌊, and it's definitely worth a visit 😘!
