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🌊💙~
