Go see the sea in Jinshan, Shanghai|On the road by car
👍️Recommendation:
As a resident of Jinshan, Shanghai, I want to recommend the city beach located here to everyone. Here, you can overlook the only uninhabited place in Shanghai, the Three Islands Nature Reserve, which includes Dajinshan Island, Xiaojinshan Island, and Fushan Island.
Before the renovation, this was a wild beach with no management or maintenance, and cars could be driven onto the seawall; every summer, many people came to swim in the wild, and some even lost their lives. It was not very safe but very primitive.
After the renovation, the blue waves reflect the blue sky, and the old appearance has been completely transformed, making it suitable for all kinds of people to play, relax, and unwind. Summer is especially suitable for bringing children to play, with their own sand digging tools, digging sand until they don't want to go home.
📅Travel Guide:
The regular adult ticket is 40 yuan each, with age-based discounts for the elderly, which is quite considerate. If you encounter fireworks shows or beer festivals, the ticket prices will be different.
Various paid activities are also provided inside, such as water bicycles, speedboat experiences, large sailboat experiences, sea fishing, barbecues, etc. I don't recommend trying the barbecue. It's too hot in summer, too cold in winter, too windy in autumn, and lacks atmosphere in spring.
If you just want to stroll around, an hour is about enough. There is also an ancient street in Jinshanzui Fishing Village next to the scenic area, which is recommended to visit together. The fishing village does not require a ticket, but it is not large, and half an hour is enough.
On the way to the fishing village, there are occasional small stalls selling seafood, not all of which are self-caught, but the prices are really not expensive.
🏨Accommodation Guide:
There are many hotels and homestays in this area, which you can search for on Ctrip. Since I live at home, I can't recommend any.
💗Other tips:
Although Jinshan is part of Shanghai, it is very close to Zhejiang. It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from downtown Shanghai.
If you are not in a hurry, I suggest you definitely drive a section of the old Shanghai-Hangzhou road, which leads directly to the road in front of the fishing village, with the old coastal defense line next to it. This road is a bit narrow, but there is no problem with two-way traffic, and it is shaded by green trees on both sides, making it unbelievably beautiful. Such roads are rare in Shanghai.
