[Words written before traveling]

Busy among the high-rise buildings in the city every day, under the pressure of life and work, do you yearn for a comfortable, leisurely, and slow life away from the city?
Speaking of Shengsi, I had been eager to see her for a long time, but I couldn't make it due to time constraints. Recently, I was still struggling with the problem of where to go. I searched various information online and then selected several alternative places. I originally planned to go to Xinjiang, but because I didn't reach a consensus with my friends, I finally found Shengsi better than I did. I checked in Shengsi before the National Day holiday.
Regarding Shengsi, probably most people have only seen it on the map of the motherland. Their first impression is that it is far away from the mainland and is the easternmost part of the East China Sea. When I arrived in Shengsi, I discovered that it was a sea wonderland, with primitive fishing villages, desolate uninhabited villages, simple fishermen's customs, as well as the magical island scenery, and the unforgettable sea wonders that make people feel their souls stay here!

Shengsi Islands, which have been particularly popular in recent years, are located east of Hangzhou Bay. There are more than 404 islands of varying sizes. The largest island is Sijiao, which can also be said to be the main island of Shengsi. The origin of Si Reef is due to the four large reefs in its northern waters. So far, there are 16 habitable islands, most of which are "uninhabited islands." However, with the current speed of developers, the uninhabited islands will sooner or later become tourist attractions, which is both gratifying and worrying.
The Si Reef can be roughly divided into three parts: the west, the middle and the east. There are not many tourist attractions in the west. It mainly connects Jinji Mountain and Maji Mountain, as well as Lizhshan Wharf and Xiaocaiyuan Wharf that connect with Xiaoyang Mountain. In the central part, there are scenic spots such as Jihu Beach, Nanchangtu Beach, Dabei Mountain, etc., and in the east, the essence is the essence. There are scenic spots such as Liujingtan, Shanghatao, and Donghai Fishing Village!
Huaxiao Island, Gouqi Island and Shengshan Island around Sijiao are very famous. There are daily boats. From Xiaocaiyuan Wharf on Sijiao (Wulong Township at the foot of Dabei Mountain), you can reach Huaxiao Island, Bixia Island, Shengshan Island, Gouqi Island.

1. Gouqi Island: Shengsi's second largest island. It is a familiar island. Gouqi grows all over the mountains and has beautiful beaches. The attractions to play include Gouqi Beach, Mountain and Sea Wonders, Xiapu Dajing Beach, Sanjiao River Bridge, Xiaoliangshan, etc.

2. Shengshan Island: Shengshan Island is connected to Gouqi Island. The winding east cliff is the highlight. It is more than 1000 meters long and the highest height can reach more than 80 meters. It is very spectacular. If you have the opportunity to get up early, you can come here to watch the sunrise. Shengshan Port, where tens of thousands of fishing boats are docked together, is also a must-visit for tourists. It can be said to be an attraction, but in fact it is a portrait of fishermen's lives. There is also an uninhabited village in Houwan Village, the "Wizard of Oz", which feels like it is slowly disappearing.

3. Huandao Island: Just like the name, there are flowers and plants on the island and most birds. The flower and bird lighthouse must be seen, which is similar to the Liujingtan lighthouse in Sijiao. Tiger Cave, Yunwu Cave, and Monkey Cave are also attractions that can be visited.
4. Baijie Mountain Island: Baijie Mountain Island is not big and is about to be developed. There are houses built by the British and Baijie Mountain Lighthouse on the island.
5. Huanglong Island: Opposite Wulong Township at the eastern end of Sijiao Island, Huanglong Island has been inhabited by residents for a long time and has a strong cultural atmosphere. The island's strange stone landscape is worth seeing.

Shengsi Island is very close to Shanghai, and the average temperature is similar to the damage all year round. However, because it is an island, the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, especially in spring and autumn. You can bring an extra coat in the morning to watch the sunrise, especially in winter, you must bring a thin down jacket. The rainy season is from early June to early July every year, and the typhoon-prone season in Shengsi Islands is from mid-July to September. Remember to bring rain gear, always pay attention to weather changes, and pay attention to sun protection and mosquitoes in summer.
(1) There are fewer convenience stores in supermarkets on the island and more seafood. Friends who are not used to seafood suggest that everyone bring more snacks and snacks;
(2) The conditions of some B & Bs on the island will be somewhat uneven, so it is recommended to bring your own toiletries.
(3) Essential items: sunscreen, mosquito repellent, sun hat, camera, motion sickness medicine, a coat (it's cooler at night), ID card and health code: you can use it for accommodation registration and high-speed temporary inspections.

[Addictive seafood cuisine]

Falling in love with a city begins by falling in love with its delicious food. Although the scenery of Shengsi Island is beautiful, what attracts me more is the seafood feast. Shengsi is known as the "East China Sea Fish Warehouse". I previously heard that when eating seafood in China, you have to eat Zhoushan, and Zhoushan seafood eats Shengsi. This time, I really learned it.

After returning to the B & B from Donghai Fishing Village, we had greeted the landlady in advance, so we could eat directly when we arrived at the B & B when we were hungry!
The menu standards of B & Bs range from 100 to 150 per person, and we need to communicate with the boss in advance. At the Zuoanyu B & B where we stayed, we ate a seafood feast cooked by the boss himself. The name of each dish was too late to remember, and the color and aroma satisfied each of our taste buds.

There is a table full of all kinds of seafood, including sand eel, skin shrimp, green shellfish, conch, tiger head fish, squid, etc., steamed, braised, stir-fried, and the most original ones raw. If you don't taste Shengsi's seafood, how dare you say you have been to Shengsi!

The seafood noodles made by the boss are also excellent. The seafood soup that takes two hours to boil and add strong noodles is delicious!

Tell me about the food on the island
(1) Generally, B & B will provide catering. If you want to eat seafood, you must tell the boss in advance. The menu will vary. According to your own requirements, the B & B owner will arrange it. (2) Seafood noodles are delicious. You can also go fishing yourself or come back from the fishing boat at 4 or 5 p.m. and go to the dock to buy the freshest seafood and let the locals cook it for you, as long as you pay the processing fee;(3) There are markets on the island, so don't worry about food. There are many types of seafood, and every store tastes good. Seafood recommendations: swimming crab, mantis shrimp, green mussel, conch, tiger head fish, small yellow croaker, squid, etc. (4) There are not many supermarket convenience stores on the island, and there are many seafood. Friends who are not used to seafood suggest that everyone bring more snacks and snacks;

[Accommodation on the Island]

Tired of the city surrounded by steel and concrete, enough of running around for a living every day, want to escape and embark on a journey of nature? Come and live in Shengsi Island for a few days!
The accommodation on each island has its own characteristics. It is recommended to go to the booking platform to check and choose the environment and room type you like first. However, special attention should be paid to the fact that when you come during the peak season, you must book in advance.

On Shengsi Island, we live on Zuoan Island. The room here is very large. The skylight is open and you can watch the stars at night. You can drink tea and chat on the sofa. Standing on the balcony of the room, you can see the sea outside. Opening the window in the morning will give you the feeling of facing the sea and the flowers blooming in spring. You can sleep by listening to the waves at night. I like this kind of B & B with a large public space. I can come with my family and friends. The owner is very nice and the dishes and seafood noodles are very good! The B & B has a golden retriever and 16 cats. It is very suitable for leisure and vacation to be in a daze!

Most importantly, the boss cooks delicious food, makes great seafood, and the seafood noodles taste delicious. The boss's daughter, um! It's very cute and even models for us!

There are accommodation at different prices on Shengsi Island, Gouqi Island, Huanglong Island and Shengshan Island. There are high-end Internet celebrity B & Bs and hotels with affordable prices. Book online in advance according to your needs!

In early autumn, the humid sea breeze carries a strong smell of sea, and the gloomy and bad weather cannot conceal the colorful beauty of Shengsi. The slow pace of life, simple folk customs, pleasant climate, and fat seafood all make people feel fascinated and very tempting...
The small island near Zhoushan is the place I have been longing to visit for a long time. If I arrive, I will ride a small electric donkey or bicycle on the small island while the sea breeze is blowing. I will drink some wine with friends at night, tell stories, and think about it. What a leisurely thing.

In Shengsi, there is a road called the most beautiful coastal highway-Left Bank Highway.
Because the Left Bank Highway is located on the left bank of Sijiao Island, it is named Left Bank Highway. This road is a coastal ecological landscape line in the Wuxun Village of the East China Sea. On one side, there are verdant green mountains and on the other side, there is the sparkling sea.

Our first stop on Daosi Jiao Island was to go to Tian 'ao Village to rent an electric car to go around the island to feel the feeling of the sea breeze blowing by our ears and smell the sea.

Tian 'ao Village turned out to be an unknown small village. Later, fishermen's paintings were moved onto the wall of fishermen's houses. The seemingly exaggerated, casual fishermen's paintings but contained enthusiasm for life formed a unique landscape. Now more than half of the houses in the village have fishermen's paintings painted on the exterior walls. The small fishing village is like an open-air art gallery where fishermen paint murals.

We rented a car from Tian 'ao Village and set off slowly along the left bank road. I have always had an inexplicable love for the coastal road. Walking on the road, stopping and going, blowing the sea breeze, and being free is a feeling of love. So when you come to Shengsi, remember to come here for a walk and feel it.

We passed Bianjiao Village, which was named after Bianjiao. When I first heard its name, I felt that there was nothing special about it, but when you first approached it, you would see it for thousands of years.
The village is built near the sea, and houses are scattered along the hillside, fresh and fireworks. The most eye-catching thing is the color of the house. It is red, yellow and pink. It is like a casually rendered oil painting, as if every stroke is natural, but it also seems unique. Stroll slowly along the trail to the seaside, as if you are in a fairy tale world, and you will encounter Snow White in the next second.

For me, the Left Bank Highway is a place suitable for being in a daze and empty. There are flowers, seas, and fresh air that can be salty and sweet. Riding slowly on the road, blowing in the summer wind, flying on the coastal road, the smell of the sea can be filled with the breath.

On the left bank road, whether you are riding or walking, freedom is the place. The winding coastal roads, along the undulating coastline, are dotted with the vividness of this small island city.

Here with a group of lovely people, ride an electric bike around the island, blowing the sea breeze, and feel the vastness of the sea; encounter a sea of flowers, stroll in the sea of flowers, when tired, go to the cafe to drink coffee and tea, and look out the window. The fishing boat slowly fading away. Experience slow life on the island!

In the morning, I was awakened by the first ray of sunshine. I turned on my mobile phone and saw that it was only 6:30. I swiped my friends 'circle and praised the early birds one by one. I still felt sleepy. After tossing and turning in bed, I decided to go downstairs and have breakfast first.

This morning's destination was Liujingtan and Heshangtao Scenic Area. We booked a bus at 8 o'clock. The driver arrived on time and we set off for Liujingtan. Along the way, the car was speeding on the deserted road. It was about half an hour's drive from the B & B to the Liujingtan Scenic Area. After all, one was in the middle of the island and the other was in the easternmost part of the island. On the right side is the sea, and the scenery along the way is better.

The car parked at the entrance of the scenic spot. The water here was obviously better than the place where we lived. The wind was very strong and it was blown messy in minutes.

It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the entrance to the Liujingtan Plank Road. The scenery on the road is beautiful and there are not many tourists. If it was a holiday, it would be crowded here.

Liujingtan is on the easternmost side of Sijiao Island. It was called the "end of the land" in ancient times because it was located at the end of the land and close to the East China Sea. There are many cliffs in Liujing Pond, and the deepest one is about 70 meters deep and cannot see the bottom. Later, a wooden plank road along the coast was built. Tourists could walk on the plank road while listening to the waves hitting the rocks.
The white lighthouse in Liujingtan is almost a must-see place for visitors. It is built in the middle of the wooden plank road and faces the blue sea. You can climb up the lighthouse along the stairs, look into the distance, and watch the thousands of boats racing. However, the wind is very strong, the camera, and mobile phones should be put away well, and you will be crushed if you fall. Liujingtan is also a good place to watch the sunrise. Watch the red sun rise from the east and dye the sea red.

There are steps to get down the plank road completely along the sea. The railings of the plank road are not very strong, so be careful. To be honest, coming to Liujingtan is coming to the lighthouse, standing on the rocks, escorting fishing boats all year round.

It feels like this is the best spot to take a lighthouse, but the weather is not very good, and the photos taken are gray. Some islands in the distance are vaguely visible in the clouds and mist, and the viewing angle here is very good. Although the weather on that day was not so ideal, the general situation of the scenery could still be grasped.
There were not many ships coming and going that day, and there were occasionally two or three fishing boats, and small ships slowly sailed across the sea.

There is a road on one side of the lighthouse that leads to the viewing platform below. The stairs are steep. If it is not necessary, it is recommended not to go. It is easy to get up but difficult to get down. The friends all climbed down with the help of other friends.
It takes about 1-2 hours to walk through Liujingtan, of course, the prerequisite is to stop and take pictures. It's still quite a test of physical strength, especially in the scorching sun, where water in the body is quickly lost, and it's really tiring to climb a grade.

The name monk Tao itself is full of legends with a strong Buddhist color. In fact, it is indeed related to a high-virtue eminent monk.

The monk suite is mainly composed of a suspended plank road and a glass plank road. The plank road is a circular shape. Starting from the entrance, you can walk back to the entrance of the scenic area.

Walking into the scenic area and seeing such scenes reminded me of some scenes in the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". That's right, Jin Yong came to Zhoushan at that time and chose scenic spots such as Taohua Island, Huaniao Island, and Heshang Tao to take pictures, so he would feel like déjà vu.

The monk set was trapped because the monk was cultivating here. In order to commemorate the merits of this virtuous Bodhisattva, a plank road around the mountains was built here. During the walk, everyone was intoxicated.
The beautiful scenery set by waves, rocks, and monks makes people forget to leave. The built coastal plank road is like a long chain that connects all the scenery here.

On the wooden plank road, watch the waves and listen to the sea, hold wine in the wind, face the sea, and bloom in the warm spring. On the right side is the endless sea, with islands and fishing boats looming on the sea.

The sea breeze fluctuates, and the waves jump and surge, wave after wave.

Looking at the plank road, I don't feel that this plank road is very dangerous. There are really no taboos on it.

Heshangtao Scenic Area is larger than Liujingtan, and there are many places to play and enjoy. For example, the suspended plank road and the glass plank road are very good, and visiting the monk suite scenic area is still quite time-consuming. You recommend playing for at least 2 hours.

The Chinese lighthouse looks at Zhejiang, and the Zhejiang lighthouse looks at Zhoushan. At the B & B, I heard the owner say that Baijieshan Island, not far from Shengsi Island, was about to be developed soon. There was a particularly beautiful lighthouse on it.
In the vast East China Sea, in the boundless darkness, a beam of light shines through the ink night and illuminates the lighthouse in the direction of the ships. It is the most sacred existence in the hearts of fishermen. So as time flies, the stories of lighthouses have been passed down among fishermen's families.

The lighthouse has a history of more than 4000 years in our country and is a beacon in the hearts of navigators. Baijieshan Lighthouse is different. It should be classified as a modern lighthouse. It was built by the Qing Dynasty Customs in the 19th century that introduced Western navigation equipment and commissioned it by the British. It not only guides the fisherman's family in the direction of their move forward, but also witnesses the waves of time.

Since there are no navigable ships between Si Reef and Baijie Mountain, we hire the local "Yujiale" cruise ship. 40 minutes by boat to Baijieshan Island.
We walked up the steps of the dock. Abandoned military barracks and demolished military facilities appeared from time to time along the way. The five-pointed stars carved with cement on the dam and the words "Taking the island as home and guarding the island for a long time" were clearly visible, which is enough to prove the difficult life of the PLA officers and soldiers who defended Xinjiang and stationed coastal defense.

I heard from the island keepers that there are now two island keepers here, who change shifts once a month and guard the island all year round. The houses they live in were built by the British. Look at the appearance, it's a square one.
There are many monkeys on the island, which are quite fierce. We didn't continue there, but only took photos and enjoyed the scenery near the lighthouse. The water here is very good, and the photos taken are very blue.
The lighthouse is really beautiful, standing tall on the island, and the price is suitable for taking photos as a background. I believe that many tourists will come if we develop here in the later stages.

The lighthouse is speechless, but it records the vast distance of time. It is like the Taiping ship that once sank near the sea, making people know that the world is impermanent. However, it also guides the ship and watches the fishermen's years of life are like water. It stood alone in the sea breeze, laughing at the increasingly prosperous life of fishermen. Such warmth of fishermen gives the lighthouse mottled history a soft background.

In Shengsi, there are hundreds of islands large and small. When you talk about Shengsi, you may first think of popular islands such as Huaniao Island and Dongji Island, but in fact, the nearest residential island to Shengsi, Huanglong Island, is a very small island that is worth checking in.

Huanglong Island is different from other islands in the Zhoushan Islands. Its name is not loud, and it is precisely because of this that few tourists come, so it maintains the tranquility and cosy of the island.
It is said that it is named Huanglong Island because of its majestic mountains, yellow soil, and looks like the Huanglong Pan Sea from afar. In terms of topography, Huanglong Island has long ridges and few flat lands. This small island, 3.88 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers north and south, has 13 peaks.
Therefore, after arriving at Huanglong Island, the main way to visit is to climb mountains. For example, Yuanbao Mountain and Chishou Mountain are both well-known peaks on the island.

Climbing the island, I saw small houses built against the mountains starting from the coast, stacked on top of the mountain, and reaching the top of the mountain. It was very spectacular.
The sea breeze carries a salty taste. The residents on the island fish at sunrise and return at sunset. They are far away from the glitz of the world, and everything is so simple.
If you want to find a beautiful small fishing village and experience the simple customs and pure scenery, Huanglong Island is worth your visit.

The first stop on coming to Huanglong Island is to climb Yuanbao Mountain. The precious stones on Yuanbao Mountain are very magical. When we arrive at the top of Yuanbao Mountain, we can see what looks like a big ingot standing on the cliffs. If you push it with your hand and swing it without moving it, it is worthy of being the largest strange stone in the East China Sea. No wonder it is rumored among the people that it is left behind by "Nuwa Paying the Sky."

Coming down from Yuanbao Mountain, we went to Chishou Mountain Scenic Area. On the way to Chishou Mountain, we came across a primitive village. Due to transportation, production and living problems, the villagers here gradually left the village, leaving only a few families living here. Live by the sea.

Have you ever dreamed that one day, you will have a beautiful house facing the sea and flowers blooming in the warm spring?
Here, there is a beautiful house called Yunhaiyuan, which was designed by Wu Yanzu's team. While retaining the original flavor of the original house, new design and construction concepts are injected. It is a beautiful house facing the sea in front of you and blooming in warm spring.

The variety show "Beautiful House" created by Zhejiang Satellite TV was filmed on Huanglong Island, which is why this beautiful house was created.
Simple European style, with oversized floor-to-ceiling glass windows facing the sea. Here, looking at the blue sea and blue sky in front of me, I think all my worries will be put aside, leaving only peace.

At the last stop of Huanglong Island, we came to the Chisheishan Scenic Area in the southeast of the island. It is a mountain made of large stones. It is named because there is no grass growing, but it is also called the "Oriental Cape of Good Hope" because the scenery is too beautiful. It stretches for hundreds of meters and stretches to the sea. When we get closer and look at these stones on Chishirtless Mountain, they are naturally and spectacularly beautiful under the sunshine and polished by the sea breeze.

Huanglong Island travel tips:
(1) Address: Shengsi County, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province
(2) Transportation: 1. Depart from Shenjiawan Wharf to Shengsi Wharf| Shenjiawan-Shengsi ferry ticket time range: 9:30/10:40/11:30 (the ferry time is based on the day's travel text message, and the journey is about 50 minutes) 2. Then Shengsi takes a taxi to Huanglong Wharf (about 30 minutes) 3. Take a boat to Huanglong Island in 15-20 minutes| Recommended time: 13:00/14:15/15:15

Huanglong Island has been inhabited by residents for a long time and has a strong cultural atmosphere. The island's strange stone landscape is worth seeing. If you have enough time here, you can stay for one night at Ishimura Funaki B & B, located next to the sea. It has a room that can see the sea at a glance, and a rooftop where you can see the sunrise without leaving home. This is the only boutique B & B on the entire island. There is also a transparent restaurant with sea views, which is very comfortable.

We came to Gouqi Island for a short rest, and set off for the first scenic spot, the wonders of mountains and seas. You can feel the name of this scenic spot. If you can see the mountains and the sea, it must be a spectacular scenery.
That's right, the "Mountain and Sea Wonders" is located at the southern end of Gouqi Island, the highest point on the island. Standing on the observation platform of the mountain and sea wonders, you can overlook half of the entire Gouqi Island and see fishing boats, houses and working fishermen in the distance. It is also a good place to watch the sunset.

The sea area of Gouqi Island is one of the few blue seas in the Shengsi Islands. Tourism is becoming more and more developed. Residents have converted their stacked old houses into unique B & Bs, painted them with colorful colors. When the flowers bloom in warm spring, they face the sea. It is deeply loved by young people and is called the "Little Greece" of the East.
Dawang Beach is the largest beach on Gouqi Island. The sand is delicate and golden-red, and the blue sky, white clouds and blue green sea water is waves after waves. It is one of the must-see attractions for tourists swimming and playing in summer. The king is not because it is big, but because there is a village called Dawang Village in Aokou. In the early years, I don't know which king visited here to patrol the mountains.

Flying drones here, you can see colorful houses far away on the island. This place is also known as the "Little Eastern Greece". Every village has a sandy beach and every house with a sea view.
Climb to the summit and view from above, you can have a panoramic view of mountains, reefs, beaches, clouds, sky, sea, white floats, fishing boats, and the most beautiful sea pastures.

The Sanjiao River Bridge in the distance feels very beautiful, even more beautiful against the blue sky and blue sea. Sanjiao River Bridge is a bridge connecting Gouqi Island and Shengshan Island. The Sanjiao River Bridge is a cross-sea bridge. It uses stayed cables, which plays an important role in improving the economy of the two places. It also promotes the tourism industry of the two places, so that the two places no longer rely solely on ferries.

This bridge is matched with blue sky, sea and mountains. It couldn't be more beautiful. I'm sorry I didn't walk on the bridge. I'll come for a walk next time...

The blue sea is connected by the sun and the sky, making it even more magnificent. The white floater of cultured mussels glinted with silver light in the sun, and the fishing boats shuttled through the rippling blue waves, forming a beautiful picture of sea pastures.
Under the white foam balls are all mussels. Because the sea water here is clear, the cultured mussels are of excellent quality and are exported to Japan and South Korea all year round.

Climbing to the top of the "Wonders of Mountains and Seas", you can overlook the entire view of thousands of acres of spectacular sea pastures. What can be called a sea ranch must be endless and very vast!

Boats are a necessary means of transportation to and from sea pastures.

Some people may not know about mussels, but they also have their own nicknames in various places: Haihong, Qingkou, Mussel, etc. The mussel is a bivalve mollusk. It is wedge shaped, with a tapered front end and a broad and round rear end. The two shells are equal and symmetrical left and right. The shell surface is purple-black, shiny, and the growth patterns are fine and obvious, and it grows in a ring shape from the top. Mussels originally grew among reefs on the coast, but later people discovered that they were delicious and easy to reproduce, so they began to be farmed in large quantities.

Fresh mussels are popular seafood products. They can be steamed, boiled, or peeled and fried with other green vegetables. They taste delicious. Due to the large yield of mussels, they are not easy to store after harvest. They have traditionally been cooked and processed into a dry product-mussel. Mussel has high nutritional value and certain medicinal value. Shengsi people have two classic cooking methods.

[Goji Island-Sea Fishing and Sunset]

Despite overfishing, the fish resources around Gouqi Island are still rich, and it is also a paradise for sea fishing enthusiasts.
On Gouqi Island, you can take your family and friends on a small boat. Experience the real life of a fisherman and go fishing out to sea. The fish here are very easy to fish. The fisherman prepared fishing gear for us, threw it into the water, slowly pulled the fish rope with his hands, and soon there were tiger heads on the hook. In an hour's work, I caught dozens of fish, and the harvest was really quite a lot.

The beauty of Gouqi Island does not need to be repeated. Ganxie Village on Gouqi Island is the place with the densest pastures on the sea and the most beautiful place to enjoy the sunset on the sea. Amidst the mussel floats, small boats are driving or anchored on the sea, complementing the sunset. How can it be beautiful?
The unobstructed view here, the fishing boats and flying birds are the most beautiful decorations under the sunset.

At sunset, the waves hit the rocks on the shore and contrasted with the burning clouds in the sky!

Many couples and photographers came to watch the sunset and take photos. Don't miss the madness of youth, time is rushing. Don't miss sunsets and sunsets, no matter where they are

I go everywhere I go to see the sunrise and sunset here, all of which have different beauty.

The East Cliff Cliff is at the easternmost end of Shengshan Island and the easternmost end of the Zhoushan Islands. It is famous for its dangerous cliffs, steep walls, and strange rocks. It is tens of meters high (the highest point reaches more than 70 meters) and stretches for thousands of meters. It stretches straight into the sea.

Come to the East Cliff, bathe in the fresh and pure air, enjoy the warm sunshine, and occasionally the warm sea breeze ruffles the sparkling coast here. The beaches and mountains complement each other, the sea and sky blend, and you can see the spectacular sea. Walking while it is like walking into a strange stone park. Natural boulders of various shapes are covered in the island. After years of hammering, they have become amazing masterpieces of nature.

The cliff top is the best spot to watch the sunrise, take the sea view, and watch the fishing boats return late. The cliff is high in the sky, stacked on top of each other, with wonders and rocks in different shapes. When you are lucky, you can also go boating on the sea to watch the harvest scene of fishermen fishing and fishermen picking shellfish.

Standing on the top of the cliff and looking at the sea, I could see many small islands on the sea, which was completely different from the scenery I saw on the beach.

Looking down, you can see layers of waves chasing layers of waves rushing towards the shore! Although the hard rock blocked its way, its character of not admitting defeat and giving up easily gave it the courage to overcome difficulties.

The cliff of the east cliff is like a knife cut by an axe. The mountain is half-walled and stands upright thousands of feet. When ships pass by, everyone is horrified. I think only the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature can create this natural wonder.

[Unmanned Village-The Wizard of Oz]

When you come to Shengshan Island, you must not miss the unmanned village where the Internet is popular. This is an "unmanned village" where mobile phones, TVs, and newspapers have been accessed countless times. This village, called Houtou Bay, is northeast of Shengshan Island. In the 1970s and 1980s, more than a thousand villagers lived here. With the development of the economy, more and more villagers moved out, and finally moved out collectively, leaving the building empty. I heard from locals that most of the fishermen in this village are "local tyrants" with a good economy. Most of them now live in Shengsi County.

Back then, a group of Chinese fishing villages swallowed by creeper and green plants became popular on the Internet, making everyone realize this place. This Wizard of Oz seems to have been abandoned by the world, like a fairyland in a fairy tale, but it truly exists in the real world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "most beautiful uninhabited village". This is now a popular online celebrity check-in point!

There are two ways to visit the uninhabited village. One is to take a look at the whole picture from the observation deck. Looking from afar, almost all the houses in the village are covered with green plants, which is full of fairy air; the other is to walk into the village and walk around, and feel the Wizard of Oz here up close.

We walked into the village from the mountain. Vines and creeper are all over the mountains and plains, and the roofs, walls, houses, and gravel roads are all infected with green. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. At the bottom of the uninhabited village, there is also a small beach in a safe haven, which leaves traces of fishermen's work back then.

The entire island is soaked with green, gentle and indifferent, exuding a quiet and primitive atmosphere.
As the popularity of the uninhabited village becomes more and more popular, more and more people are visiting here. While traveling around the Shengsi Islands, they can also see the true appearance of the uninhabited village and see the houses covered with creeper. How shocking. Here, you would like to remind everyone that if you decide to come here to play, you must take measures to prevent mosquitoes and insects. There must be a large number of mosquitoes in these green plants. Don't let these mosquitoes spoil the enjoyment.

All in all, Shengsi Islands are a good place, but the uninhabited village in Houtou Bay here is even more shocking. Although the building has long been deserted, it has now become the "Wizard of Oz" and is also very spectacular.
It is recommended that friends who like photography should visit the uninhabited village in the afternoon. When we arrive in the morning, we will backlight the light, and all the photos will be backlight, which will make the later revision more difficult.

[Postscript]

The outside world is like a book. If you don't open it, you will never be able to understand it; the scenery along the way, the specialty food, and the humanities of various places are all what I want to explore!
The five-day and four-night trip to Shengsi was spent in happy hours. We visited the ancient villages on the island, visited the island's lighthouse that has stood for a century, watched the shocking sea pastures, rushed to the shuttle farm and fishing boats, and lightly Step on the clean and long Shengshan Beach, making this hidden island of slow city a vivid and vibrant paper space, becoming the Garden of Eden in the hearts of many passers-by.
I hope you will also go out of your own world, see more of the outside world, and explore the beautiful scenery outside!
