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

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!

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

China's most east? There may be N places that will compete with the small fishing village of Zhoushan in Zhoushan, but the sunrise here is so shocking on the five senses, whether it is in Lushan Island or Ghost Village, warming the mind and choosing a cliff. Hotel, lingering in the infinity pool, feel the time flowing like a song

The return of the East Cliff to the sunrise, you can finally see the scenery of Mount Lu. The roads are full of shrimps, and the air is filled with the smell of dried shrimps. This is probably the unique taste and mark of the fishing town. The white float in the sea shimmers in the sun, and the scenery of the blue sea pasture. Blue Sea Ranch, a quiet scene. Qixiang is a key township in the fishing industry. 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. This piece of sea, with a large white float group, and a large number of boats, is a good place to film. 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. The car drove through a small harbor and there was a row of houses built on the hillside. This is a small harbor called "The Potala Palace at Sea". The golden glow of the morning, see Its beautiful, if you have the chance to go out by boat, you will be more beautiful.

In recent years, as a proponent of "slow living," I've visited numerous islands during my cruise travels, such as Seychelles, home to the world's smallest capital; Réunion Island, where the first debris of MH370 was discovered; and Antigua and Barbuda, two small islands forming one nation. This time, I visited Shengshan Island, which a friend told me is "China's easternmost island." Attractions described with superlatives, especially those related to "China," always invigorate me. Gouqi Island and Shengshan Island, located east of the East China Sea, are China's easternmost inhabited islands. Connected by a single bridge, each island possesses its own unique charm. Shengshan Island is known for its "Eastern Cliffs," while Gouqi Island boasts the "Wonders of Mountain and Sea" stone inscription. Shengshan Island's Eastern Cliffs stand majestically at the easternmost point of China's easternmost island. The cliffs, sharp as knives, plunge into the deep sea, where waves crash against the rocks, shattering into a myriad of sprays. Standing atop the cliff, looking eastward, one sees only the boundless expanse where the sea meets the sky. At dawn, this place is known as "the place to greet China's first rays of sunlight." The four characters "Wonders of Mountain and Sea" are carved into a giant rock at the southern tip of Gouqi Island. The powerful calligraphy is said to be the work of Hou Jigao, a subordinate of the famous Ming Dynasty anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang. When Hou patrolled the East China Sea with his troops and stationed on Gouqi Island, he was struck by the magnificent mountains and the vast sea and sky, and thus inscribed these characters to commemorate his experience. Arriving at Shengshan Island, a fishing village pearl suspended on the blue waves of the East China Sea, once renowned as a "century-old fishing ground," I stood at the harbor and snapped a photo. The small picture surprisingly captured three lighthouses, instantly conjuring up images of the grand scene of the "century-old fishing ground"—thousands of sails piercing the blue-gray sea like arrows released from their bows. Although the extreme hustle and bustle of "lights illuminating the sky at midnight" is no longer present, the dark red stains on the fishing port's stone steps, dyed by years of fish blood, the rusty yet sturdy cranes, and the smooth reefs kissed by the sea breeze, still whisper tales of the golden age when fishing nets seemed to scoop up the sun. Passing through the old streets of Shengshan Island, it's as if the drunken sounds of fishermen's songs still drift from the taverns, where old fishermen, with their calloused fingertips, dip their fingers in wine to draw sea charts, recounting the prosperous times when "ten thousand ships gathered in Shengshan's waters." The hospitable doctoral secretary of Gouqi Township pointed to a white building nestled among the terraced fields on a small hill by the sea, introducing it as the "originator of internet-famous homestays"—"Qianmo Inn." Its unique design and ocean views have made it a driving force behind Gouqi Island's homestay industry. He then led me to a platform overlooking Gouqi Island's vast mussel farm and its cold chain food processing plant. To the left of the platform is the now-popular "Sunset Cafe." Ordering a cup of coffee, chewing on seaweed strips and fried fish bones, I gazed out at the entire marine ranch. Amidst this dynamic yet serene, rugged yet gentle interplay of mountain and sea, I captured the magnificent scenery of the setting sun and took a photo of the two staff members at the "Sunset Cafe." They beamed brightly in the picture. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the words "Gouqi Island Live Broadcast Center" behind them at the time. To this day, I still haven't figured out whether they were enthusiastically live-streaming the "harvest of the vast mussel farm" or the "spectacular sunset." The rolling clouds and bobbing fishing boats in the lens intertwined into a golden-red tapestry, making it difficult to distinguish between the gifts of the sea and the blessings of the sky. It was precisely amidst this blend of reality and illusion that I developed an enduring fondness for China's islands.

The azure seawater shimmers under the sunlight, like a blue gem meticulously inlaid on the earth by nature.

This timeframe allows you to fully appreciate the island's unique charm without feeling rushed. If time permits, a three-day/two-night trip will make your journey more relaxed, giving you more time to explore every corner of the island and experience its tranquility and beauty. A two-day/one-night trip is relatively compact, but it still allows you to capture the essence of Gouqi Island and create unforgettable memories. ## Across Mountains and Seas - Transportation Guide 🚗There are different ways to get to Gouqi Island depending on your departure point. ### Departing from Shanghai, Suzhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, etc. If you are departing from these locations, you can drive to Shanghai Shenjiawan Wharf.

As you board the ship, facing the sea breeze and gazing at the distant horizon, anticipation for the unknown journey will arise. Imagining the beautiful island you're about to arrive at, your heart will be filled with joy. ### Departing from Ningbo, Zhoushan, Lishui, Wenzhou, Taizhou, etc. If departing from these locations, you need to purchase ferry tickets from Zhoushan Haixing Ferry, departing from Zhujiajian Wugongzhi Wharf to Gouqi and Shengshan Islands. Before that, you need to drive to Zhujiajian Wugongzhi Wharf. Every drive is a step closer to the sea; every ticket carries the yearning for the island. ## Two-Day/One-Night Dream Trip - Gouqi Island Itinerary Recommendation 🎬Here's a carefully prepared two-day/one-night Gouqi Island itinerary for you. ### D1: Explore the Uninhabited Village, Encounter a Stunning Sunset - The first stop is the uninhabited village. Once a bustling village, it has now been quietly taken over by nature. Creepers cover the houses, as if draped in a green coat.

The golden sunlight sprinkles on the sea, shimmering, like a colorful painting. Without entering the scenic area, just walk along the coast outside, and you'll be captivated by the stunning scenery.

Standing on the wharf, watching the sun slowly sink, painting the sky orange-red, the visual impact will be unforgettable. ### Dongya Cliff Sunrise The sunrise at Dongya Cliff is not to be missed.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the sea fog, the fishing boats below the cliff looked like scattered gold foil! I went straight down the mountain to Houtouwan. The abandoned stone houses covered with Boston ivy resembled a scene from "Princess Mononoke." I recommend wearing a long red dress! I discovered a hidden path next to the old well in the village, which led directly to a viewing platform over the sea—from here, you can capture a panoramic view of the deserted village and the emerald bay! 🍜 Foodie Surprise: "Teacher Hou's Restaurant" at Shengshan Wharf serves seafood rice noodles piled high with mussels and live mantis shrimp for just CNY 30 a bowl.

At the Wang Xizhi Exhibition Hall, I spent CNY 10 to make a rubbing of the "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion," but I was captivated by the yellow rice wine milk tea at the teahouse next door—the aroma of the wine was strong but not overpowering, and there was sweet fermented glutinous rice at the bottom of the cup! 🌙 While enjoying Yue Opera at Shen Garden at night, I stumbled upon the actors practicing their lines with a teleprompter on their phones behind a rock garden. I laughed so hard I had to hold onto the wall! 🍶 Yellow Rice Wine Blind Box: The 24 Solar Terms Wine at the Yue Brewing Workshop on Cangqiao Straight Street is a must-try.

The terraced fields shimmered with silver ripples under the moonlight. As the sun rose over the mountain ridge, the entire valley transformed into a flowing golden painting! On the way down, I followed a local farmer wearing a bamboo hat along a hidden path and stumbled upon Kenggen Stone Village—an 800-year-old silver mining village, where the crevices of the stone houses are still embedded with mining residue from the Ming Dynasty! ⛺ Camping Surprise: "Yunyi's Courtyard" within the terraced fields offers tents in the rice paddies. At night, you can listen to the croaking of frogs, search for constellations with a telescope, and the owner will treat you to homemade snail wine (the sweet and spicy flavor is addictive)! 💡 Hard-Earned Tips 1️⃣ Transportation Tips: Book Shengshan Island ferry tickets three days in advance on "Shengsi Passenger Transport," and choose the upper cabin! Those prone to motion sickness should bring plastic bags for the winding mountain roads to Yunhe Rice Terraces. Don't ask me how I know 😭 2️⃣ Photography Bible: Use a 3x zoom on your phone to capture details in the deserted village. Wide-angle shots can look cluttered.

Yunhe Rice Terraces hosts the Rice Paddy Art Festival in September, where farmers create "Mona Lisa" using rice plants. 4️⃣ Alternative Destinations: Anchang Ancient Town is a good alternative to Shaoxing, with sausages half the price of those on Cangqiao Straight Street.

Above the vast East China Sea, there is an island like a pearl - Shengshan Island. It stands there quietly, exuding a mysterious and charming atmosphere, waiting for people to unveil its beautiful veil. The moment I set foot on this land, I was deeply attracted by its unique charm and started an unforgettable journey. Taking the ferry slowly approaching Shengshan Island, the azure blue sea and sky complement each other, making people feel as if they are in a beautiful painting. The sea breeze gently brushed across my face, bringing the breath of the sea and a hint of coolness, and the anticipation in my heart became stronger and stronger. As the ferry docked, I couldn't wait to set foot on this unknown land. The natural scenery of Shengshan Island is intoxicating. Walking along the coastline, the surging waves constantly hit the rocks, making bursts of roaring sounds, as if telling the story of the sea. In the distance, the boundless sea merges with the sky, making people's minds become particularly open. The reefs on the seashore have various shapes, some look like giant mushrooms, some look like ferocious beasts, and some look like graceful girls, making people marvel at the wonders of nature. The beach on the island is fine and soft, sparkling with golden light under the sunlight. Walking barefoot on the beach, feeling the fine sand sliding between your toes, it feels itchy and very comfortable. The waves occasionally surge onto the beach, bringing some beautiful shells and pebbles, which are a pleasant surprise. Here, you can enjoy the beauty of sunshine and beach, relax your body and mind and forget all your worries. The fishing village style of Shengshan Island is also unique. The villages on the island are scattered on the hillside in an orderly manner, and the old stone houses are full of traces of time. The stone walls are covered with green vines, adding a touch of vitality and vigor to these old houses. Walking in the alleys of the village, it feels like traveling back in time, feeling the simple folk customs and the strong breath of life. The villagers are warm and hospitable, and always have sincere smiles on their faces. They either work on the beach or dry their fishing nets in front of their homes. Although their life is simple, it is full of happiness. In Shengshan Island, you can't miss the spectacular sunrise and sunset. Early in the morning, I came to the beach early, waiting for the sun to rise slowly from the sea level. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the sea, the entire sea surface was dyed golden, sparkling and beautiful. At that moment, my heart was filled with awe and emotion for nature. In the evening, when the sun sets, the sunset glow in the sky is like a gorgeous painting, covering the entire island in warm colors. Standing on a high place, overlooking the entire island and the sea, feeling the tranquility and beautiful atmosphere, people are intoxicated and reluctant to leave for a long time. Shengshan Island also has a famous scenic spot - the uninhabited village. This once prosperous village has now been swallowed up by nature and turned into a green ocean. Walking into the uninhabited village, I saw the abandoned stone houses covered with green vines, like a green castle in a fairy tale. There is no human noise here, only the sounds of nature. Birds are singing happily on the branches, insects are buzzing in the grass, and the breeze is blowing, making the leaves rustle, as if playing a wonderful natural symphony. Here you can feel the power of nature and the tenacity of life. In addition to the natural scenery and fishing village style, Shengshan Island's food is also unforgettable. The seafood here is fresh and delicious, with a wide variety. Various seafood such as crabs, shrimps, fish, shellfish, etc. are mouth-watering. In the restaurants on the island, you can taste authentic seafood and feel the rich flavor of the ocean. In addition, there are some special snacks on the island, such as seafood noodles, fish balls, etc., which are also worth a try. During my time on Shengshan Island, I fully enjoyed the gifts of nature and its tranquility and beauty. There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, only the simple folk customs, beautiful natural scenery and a strong breath of life. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing people to calm down and feel the true meaning of life. When I was about to leave Shengshan Island, my heart was filled with reluctance. I know that this beautiful land will always remain in my heart and become a beautiful landscape in my memory. I look forward to the day when I can set foot on this land again and feel its unique charm again. Shengshan Island, its unique beauty, will always be engraved in my heart. It is like a shining pearl, emitting charming light above the East China Sea, attracting countless people to explore its beauty. If you are also eager to find a quiet piece of land, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, then Shengshan Island is definitely a good choice.

🌅 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
