If you don’t like Sanya. 🌊

ESCAPE Shanghai for a weekend? This is a perfect island getaway if you are done with Sanya or just want something more tranquil. 🏝️ FOR 150 RMB, you can buy a ticket that includes a coach ride from Nanpu Bridge + 3hr ferry ride to the islands on the south east of Shanghai. Check the official WeChat account - 嵊泗客运 through which you can buy tickets for many different islands. SHENGSI is one of these islands. It is linked to Shengshan island by a bridge - the one with the abandoned fishing village. DO NOT expect a vibrant nightlife or any type of water activity apart from fishing. These islands are a destination for many fishing amateurs - specially in winter. HOWEVER, you will get slow paced days, walkable distances all around the island, evening discussions by the sound of waves, amazing views and very friendly locals. 😊 ACCOMMODATION range from cheap guest houses to more high end ones with bath tubs and a view. There are no big hotel chains - which I personally liked. Everything seems to be owned by individuals. IF YOU HAVE TIME, you can island hop and catch the ferry to the many other nearby islands. This was originally my plan but I just felt so confortable in Shengsi that I ended up staying for 4 days instead of 2. #wecreate #shanghai #china
