Gouqi Island - Heaven for Seafood Lover!
A lovely weekend getaway and definitely a heaven for seafood lovers! All kind of clams, fishes, prawns and shrimps served all-day every-day.
Beaches are all walking-distance away, no matter where you stayed. And if you happen to see the painted stairs (3rd from last pic), come up and meet 巧克力 Chocolate, the spoiled Golden Retriever, mascot of the cafe! Beside it there’s a lively bar, too.
The main attraction: the Houtouwan Abandoned Village was eerily beautiful as well. Nature has definitely claimed back its rightful place. No human invention can ever match nature’s power.
Take your time exploring the paths between all those empty concrete structures (watch your steps!), listen to the sound of nature, and breathe in the cool clean air.
It may look more beautifully green in summer, so plan your trip around those months :)
Oh, and btw, don’t be surprised to see the massive graveyards on the opposite hill. Seems like the people from the village either moved to seashore or die there and buried in the neighborhood they lived in. Probably that’s why they also call the abandoned village a ghost town 👻
Important: remember to bring your passport! You’ll need it to board the ferry and check-in to the hotel.
Getting There - drive to Yangshan Shenshuigang Passenger Transport Terminal and take ferry from there. Make sure you find the right fast-ferry schedule (2.5hrs), else it’ll take 4-5hrs, then plenty of taxi awaited at the ferry dock to take you to your hotels. Or just join one of the many group tour arrange by multiple tour agencies.
Attractions - Beaches, Houtouwan Abandoned Village.
Hotels - No international hotels in this area, but all the local ones are also good and clean.
Food & Restaurants - plenty of good seafood restaurants, follow the crowds!
Shopping - local food stores / minimarkets.
Vegan-friendliness- by request, the place I stayed at kindly cook more potatoes/mushrooms/vegetables for me!

Gouqi Island is good, the sky, the sea, the price is expensive, the accommodation resources are relatively small, you need to book in advance, if you have where to live, it is estimated that it is not good, unless you have a RV, it is better.
Temporarily decided to go to see the island from Shanghai on Saturday. After considering the decision to go to Gouqi Island, I paid attention to the Shengsi Passenger Transport WeChat public account a few days in advance. The day I could buy it in advance at 7:03 am, it showed that there was no. I was very disappointed. As a result, I opened it in the afternoon and saw a new passenger ship. I immediately purchased Shenjiawan at 08:50 in the morning and set off to Gouqi Island (as a result, this class is a high-speed passenger ship, and it will arrive at Gouqi Island at 10:20) 140 yuan, but in the morning in order to get to the pier before 8:50, we chose 6: Before 20 minutes, take the carpool to Dishuihu subway station and take the Yangshan special line (the earliest departure at 06:30, it is expected to go to Shenjiawan Wharf at 7:45) after getting off at 11 yuan, the master called by the proprietress of the hotel has arrived, and the price is 50. The time of the hotel is about 10:35. Then rest and wait for the boss's lunch. After lunch, take the car directly to the cliff of the East Cliff on Shengshan Island next door, 50 yuan tickets. The scenery is particularly beautiful and worth recommending. But walking is a bit tired, it is expected to take 1 and a half hours (I can't walk, there are attractions inside) 13:45 to go to the unmanned village of no one, the ticket is 60 yuan. The village is really big... When I went down from the top of the mountain, my feet were a bit shaking. It is estimated that there is a lack of exercise. The bottom of the village is a beach. I can't walk inside. I walked to the beach and turned back. It took about 1 hour. Return to the homestay at 3 o'clock and take a bath and lie down. The boat returned to Shenjiawan at noon the next day, and the next day I was going to go down the mountain and sea wonders in the morning (free). It doesn't matter if you go to Dawang Beach because you don't go for 50. There is no charge for a beach for ten minutes. There is also a beach in no-man village.
Gouqi Island Unmanned Village is a place for net red punching. On Shengshan Island, which is connected to a bridge with Gouqi Island, there is a magical "unmanned village". The once bustling village was gradually abandoned due to people's yearning for the outside world. The mountain climber that spreads to the roof seems to have covered this place with a mysterious veil, if you are here, you will definitely feel that you have traveled to the incredible world. The remote view of the unmanned village known as the real version of the "Wizard of Oz" abroad.
Gouqi Island is particularly beautiful and very beautiful. Because of its excellent location, it is located in Zhoushan Islands, Zhejiang Province. There are many tourists here. People are watching the beautiful sea here. The air is fresh and the environment is elegant and the scenery is particularly beautiful. Fun is a super cost-effective punch-in resort, but also a good place worth a visit, loved and praised by tourists from all over the world!
Gouqi Island, known as "Little Greece" around Shanghai, is located in the east of Shengsi Islands. It is the second largest island after Sijiao in the islands, and is adjacent to Shengshan Island. Tickets from Shanghai to Gouqi·Shengshan are difficult to find in summer, and foreign vehicles cannot get on the island. Transportation on the island: taxi 🚕 (the charges between attractions are similar, expensive, suitable for carpooling. In this way, some attractions seem to be relatively low cost, you can choose ‼️) Attractions: ★ Unmanned Village, recommended ✔ The Wizard of Oz, mysterious and quiet. 50 tickets 🎫 You can go to the observation deck first, and then go down the mountain to enter the village. It is recommended to take a boat back to the town at the pier at the end. Pay 50 for a boat, Xiaogui ❣️ but you can avoid climbing the mountain road on the return trip, and you will be tired into a dog 🐶. ★ Xiyang Bay, recommend ✔ summer sunset 🌇 excellent place. The red plank road is very fresh, blowing the sea breeze, don't have a taste. ★ East Cliff Cliff, recommended ✔ Suitable for watching the sunrise 🌅 The morning wind is very strong and the people are dense. It is considered to be the place with the most people in all attractions 😜★ Dawang Beach. It is recommended ✔ The only paid beach 🏖️ Beach 🈶 Entertainment facilities, suitable for bringing a baby Happy ❤️ There are many restaurants around, you can have a full meal. The restaurant here has a large passenger flow, fast seafood turnover, more live seafood & fresh, and the relative price is high. ★ The wonder of the mountains and sea is said to be suitable for watching the sunset in winter. The summer scenery is very general. The yellow house of the beverage store on the side is like a city, but it is meaningless to go all the way. ★ Dayuwan Beach features only one lighthouse. The quality and area of this beach is really not worth going to 😂★ Sanjiaojiang Bridge to connect Gouqi and Shengshan Island. I have passed by by car countless times and stopped to take pictures. I feel that there is no need to take pictures. The color of the rainbow road is light. I drive by and see. I have no impulse. I must go and experience it if I have the opportunity!
