In Zhejiang, I actually discovered a niche island far from the mainland

It's really super far, 140km away from the center of Shanghai, 80km from Dripping Lake, and even 250km from Hangzhou🤔! This place has the rare blue waters of Zhejiang, and I finally saw it here, who says the waters of Zhejiang and Shanghai aren't blue💙!! 📍This beautiful island is located in Shengsi County, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, between Gouqi Island and Shengshan Island (although it belongs to Zhejiang, it is closer to Shanghai and has convenient transportation)📌 📆Suggested travel time is three days and two nights or two days and one night✨ 🚢Transportation methods: 1️⃣ Departing from Shanghai, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and other places, you can choose the bus-ship joint ticket from Nangang to Gouqi or Shengshan at 【Shengsi Passenger Transport】🎫. First, arrive at Shanghai Nangang Long-Distance Bus Station, then take a bus to Shenjiawan Wharf, and finally transfer to a boat🚢 to reach the destination wharf. 2️⃣ Departing from Ningbo, Taizhou, Lishui, Wenzhou, Zhoushan, and other places, you can choose the boat ticket to Gouqi Shengshan from Zhujiajian Centipede Wharf at 【Zhoushan Haixing Ferry】🎫. You need to first reach Zhujiajian Centipede Wharf from places like Ningbo Bus South Station, then take a boat to Gouqi Island, Shengshan Island. 🏖️Must-visit attractions: 1️⃣ Dongya Cliff (Shengshan Island, ticket 50 yuan)💙: It's no exaggeration to say that this place has the bluest water in all of Zhoushan! Due to its distance from the mainland and proximity to the deep-sea area, it's very suitable for watching the sunrise🌅. However, the sunrise is very early, so plan ahead. 2️⃣ Green Wonderland Uninhabited Village (Shengshan Island, ticket 60 yuan)🌿: An ancient village that once had 3000 people is now covered by greenery🧐. This place has witnessed the prosperity and desolation of the island, and approaching the buildings, you can even see the old site of a school from 30 years ago, very suitable for a leisurely visit. 3️⃣ Xiyang Bay (Shengshan Island, ticket 50 yuan)🌅: Here you can enjoy the magnificent seascape, and when the weather is good, the water is especially blue and clean💦. Also, it's a great place to watch the sunset. 4️⃣ Longquan Beach (Gouqi Island, free admission)🏖️: There are both paid and many free beaches on the island. Beaches with a safety officer present are all available for fun😎. Longquan Beach is the largest among the free beaches, and there are also other free beaches like Dakeng Beach, Miaogan Beach, Siyi Beach, etc. Take my word for it, just go to the free ones🤣! 5️⃣ Ganxie Wharf Viewing Platform (Gouqi Island, free admission)🌇: This is the best spot on the island to watch the sunset, also known as the 'Sea Pasture'🐟. Fishermen densely cultivate various seafood in the nearby sea, and the aquaculture equipment floats on the surface, like a huge pasture. 6️⃣ Mountain and Sea Spectacle (Gouqi Island, free admission)🌊: There are not many high viewing platforms on the island, and Mountain and Sea Spectacle allows you to overlook the entire Longquan Village and the endless sea in the distance. There is also a huge rock inscribed with 'Mountain and Sea Spectacle' next to the viewing platform🪨. 📖Warm tips: 1️⃣ Taxis on the island are expensive, you can hail a shared ride on the road🚗. 2️⃣ Check the weather forecast in advance, don't go on rainy and windy days🌧️. 3️⃣ It's best to purchase boat tickets more than 5 days in advance🎫.
