Around 5 and half hours away from Shanghai (2 hours bus from Nanpu Bridge, 3 and half hours ferry), Gouqi Island is a laidback weekend getaway from the city. It is part of Shengsi Islands, in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province. You can enjoy watching sunrise and sunset, stargazing, cycling, or simply enjoying a good meal. Mussles are quite good here. You can also visit and walk around an abandoned village. #2023travelwish

Drinks are reasonably priced and alcohol can be purchased by the glass or the bottle. #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #beach #chinatravel #gouqiisland

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 #gouqiisland #houtouwan #shanghai #daytrip TigerYear2022 #

Lixian County, known as Lixi (also known as South Ma'an Island), was later named after the island's many plants, located in the northeastern part of the Zhoushan Islands, north of Shanghai, and south of the "Haitian Buddhism" Putuo Mountain. West is connected with Luhua International Anchorage. The township consists of 33 large and small islands with a land area of 6.62 square kilometers. After we wandered around, we were always sucked by the "sea ranch" and took our hearts. A water like a mirror, Pingchuan vast, a good seascape, manpower is endless! Hey, even if its just a random one, its a joy. Looking back, I will sigh "The sea off the island, the grass and the Tsinghua"! Although the autumn wind is coming, the summer light still exists, squatting on the sea, toward the mountain, the sea is light blue and dark blue, and the mountains are green grass like the sea with the wind!

Gouqi Island is a small, picturesque island in China, part of the Shengsi Archipelago. Known for its stunning coastline, golden beaches, and lush greenery, it’s famous for the abandoned fishing village overtaken by nature, where ivy-covered homes create a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. The island is a peaceful getaway for nature lovers and photographers, offering fresh seafood, scenic hikes, and a glimpse of life in a remote coastal community. I even tried their local sea food which was delicious #travel #naturalwonders #seascapes #china #island

❤️ Eleven young people who had never met before, gathered together for the same destination. We tried staying in a youth hostel for the first time, posed for photos at any place we could stop, marched in line shouting 'one-two-one' while filming videos, went sea fishing early in the morning, tasted various seafood flavors, walked the catwalk on the beach creek, waved sparklers at night to capture light and shadow, shouted that we were 18 years old, and laughed together happily! 🏮 The highlights of Gouqi Island's night scene are actually not many. The houses by the pier and on the hillside, adorned with lights, might count as a scenery. Under the faint light, rows of fishing boats docked at the dark pier were faintly visible. Unfortunately, the clouds were thick on the two nights we were there. If it had been clear, it is said that watching the starry sky and shooting star trails from a mountaintop or platform would be the best choice on Gouqi Island! 🌅 We called ourselves 'Seven Fairies and Four Heavenly Kings'. Perhaps until the end of the trip, we didn't know each other's names, but that's how travel is. Accompanying a group of strangers for a journey, you might have the chance to become close friends, or you might never meet again in this life, but the companionship along the way is unforgettable for a lifetime! 🏘 The most famous beach on Gouqi Island is called Dawang Beach. It's a tiny place that charges 30 yuan. I've never seen a beach that charges an entrance fee, and the key point is that there's nothing there. My friends said to me: 'Dawang, your territory is really expensive.' I replied: 'But I can't control my territory...' So we wandered around looking for a small beach to play on. The soldier brother had already experienced his first 'sea swim' at Dawang Beach for free with his ID while we were at the Mountain and Sea Wonder. 📷 We had a lot of fun filming videos and walking the catwalk on the road, and we discovered a small pier beach. The girls couldn't resist the sea, took off their shoes, and went down to take selfies. Mr. Meng also experienced a 'sea swim', and as for me, having seen a lot, I wasn't that excited about the scenery. I sat on the pier watching them play in the water, took some small videos for them, and took some perspective shots from a distance. We brought out the little pig model for some photos. As we walked further, we finally saw the fishing boats often seen in travel notes, drying in the sun. We called our friends over for a group photo. This was the biggest gain of the day! I had always wanted to take photos of fishing boats. 📍 This holiday, we didn't talk about poetry and distant places, just enjoyed the 'Gouqi' in front of us. ❤️ The soldier brother and Juan'er saw the sea for the first time. Although the sea wasn't as blue as they imagined, it was their first impression of the sea. Fortunately, we painted different colors on their sea impression. Fortunately, we could become part of their memory. Juan'er said she wants to go to different islands next time to see different seas. The soldier brother said he wants to bring his family next time to Gouqi Island. Going to places never been, meeting people never met, experiencing scenes never experienced, that's a lifetime. Going to familiar places, seeing old friends, experiencing familiar scenes, that's also a lifetime.

Transportation: Depart from Shanghai and take a boat to Gouqi Island Ways to play: 1. Sit in front of the homestay and enjoy the sea 2. Stroll around the nearby night market 3. Climb the mountain and enjoy the sea view from the top (mosquitoes are huge and many, prepare mosquito repellent in advance) 4. Go out to sea with a fishing boat (please consider carefully. People who went out to sea with me reportedly vomited 🤮 for a long time, experiencing the enthusiasm of the sea in a different way) The sunset is very, very beautiful

🌅 A Weekend Getaway to the Secret Realm of Gouqi Island: Two Days and One Night of Non-Conformist Fun! 🗺 Itinerary: 🔵 Day 1: Depart from Shanghai Nanpu Bridge Bus Station in the early morning to Shenjiawan Bus Station, then take a direct ferry to Gouqi Island. Upon arrival, head straight to Dawang Beach, stroll to the Shanhai Qiguan Cliff Carvings in the afternoon, and relax at Longquan Beach in the evening before climbing to the Ganxie Viewing Platform to watch the sunset. 🔵 Day 2: Sunrise at Dongya Cliff and Exploring the Abandoned Village. In the early morning, head to Dongya Cliff to greet the sunrise, then take a nap before visiting the abandoned village of Shengshan, enjoying the thrill of exploration. 🏞 Recommended Attractions: - Dawang Beach🏖️: Fine sand and clear water, a top choice for summer cooling, but the 25 RMB ticket is quite expensive. - Shanhai Qiguan Cliff Carvings: A blend of nature and culture, perfect for wasting an afternoon at a nearby café. - Longquan Beach: Located just below Shanhai Qiguan, this beach is free but not very clean, with lots of trash. Good for a casual visit, and there's a pier nearby for sea fishing. - Ganxie Viewing Platform: Check the sunset time in advance, arrive early to get the best spot, and enjoy the spectacular orange sunset and sea view. - Dongya Cliff: The best place to watch the sunrise, with golden sunlight spreading over the sea. However, check the weather in advance; we didn't see a perfect sunrise this time. The 50 RMB ticket is also quite a rip-off. - Shengshan Abandoned Village: Abandoned houses covered in greenery, full of adventure fun. It's very hot now, and climbing up and down the mountain can easily cause heatstroke, so be sure to take precautions. The 60 RMB ticket is also quite a rip-off. 🍜 Food Recommendations: Sanmao Noodle House (Shengshan Island), Yiwanyixian (Gouqi Island). The weather is too hot, so everyone prefers simple meals. We chose these two noodle houses, and they were both okay. 🏨 Accommodation Options: To watch the sunrise, we stayed at Wenhai Villa near Dongya Cliff on Shengshan Island. It's about a ten-minute walk to Dongya Cliff. We rented an entire villa, and the hostess was very hospitable. Dinner can also be arranged. 🚗 Transportation: Depart from the side of Shanghai Nanpu Bridge and take the earliest ferry directly to Gouqi Island. Tickets can be purchased on the Shengsi Passenger Transport WeChat public account. The transportation options from Shanghai to Gouqi Island are as follows: High-speed ferry: fast, about 2 hours; Passenger roll-on/roll-off ship: allows vehicles, about 3 hours and 30 minutes. On the island: Taxis, generally costing 30-60 RMB depending on the distance. We took a taxi from Gouqi to Shengshan Island for 80 RMB. Each car can seat 6 people, so the per capita cost is reasonable but still quite expensive. 👀 Travel TIPS: ✅ Book ferry tickets in advance to ensure smooth boarding. ✅ Bring sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays. ✅ When exploring the abandoned village, pay attention to safety and respect the natural environment. ㅤ

🌳 Gouqi Island, I've always heard that it is the hometown of mussels, a sea ranch, and has stunning mountain and sea scenery. When I actually set foot on this land, I truly felt its charm. 🚶 Starting from Dawang Beach, walking along the winding coastline, the sea breeze gently blowing, the waves hitting the rocks, making a crisp sound. In the distance, the azure sky and the sea merge into one, making people feel relaxed and happy. 💙 Passing by the wonders of mountains and seas, standing on a high place and looking out, the buoys of the sea ranch and the mussel farming area are in full view, and the boats shuttle among them, as if it were a dynamic painting. The fishing village of Gouqi Island also has a unique flavor, with stone houses scattered in an orderly manner, and various unknown small flowers blooming by the walls, full of the breath of life. 🐾 During the hike, you can occasionally encounter cute little animals, lazy cats by the roadside, and small crabs bouncing by the sea, adding a lot of fun to this hike. 🥤 When you are tired, take a break in a small pavilion by the sea, take a sip of a cold drink, and look at the endless sea view, all the fatigue will disappear. 💕 This hiking trip to Shengsi Gouqi Island is not only a physical exercise but also a relaxation of the mind.

Summer travel inevitably revolves around the theme of islands🏝️ This time I chose Gouqi Island, the neighbor of Huaniao Island👍 The island, once featured in National Geographic, has always been a place I long to visit! How to get there⁉️ Shenjiawan Wharf ➡️ Shengsi ➡️ Gouqi Island Note‼️ Always take the larger boat if possible, never the small one Recommended attractions on Gouqi Island: Abandoned Village👉 A deserted village filled with greenery, stepping into it feels like entering a unique world, and photographers won't stop clicking! Best to shoot before 5 pm, as the light will be blocked by the mountains later Dongya Cliff👉 The best spot on Shengshan Island to watch the sunrise, very user-friendly, open from 3:30 am, absolutely cliffy but still quite safe Mountain and Sea Spectacle👉 Overlooking the sea from the highest point at the southern end of Gouqi Island, the wind is also particularly strong Dawang Beach👉 The largest beach on Gouqi Island, the sea is truly blue! tips 1️⃣ There are really a lot of mosquitoes on the island, especially in the Abandoned Village. I was wearing shorts and almost cried from the bites when I walked out of the village. 2️⃣ The main mode of transportation on the island is by taxi, and there is some distance between attractions. You can ask the driver to help arrange carpooling, as the island's taxis can seat 6 people, or you can communicate with other guests at your homestay to carpool 3️⃣ For food, it's recommended to head to Gouqi Seafood Street, where there are more choices. So the best advice is to stay nearby, at least you won't need to take a taxi to eat‼️

I really loved my stay in Guoqi Islands, this is a fantastic place to do a short break from Shanghai. Let me share my findings and tips: 1. Best to come for 2 night, so you have one full day and a bit extra. There is a bus going from the city center, if you drive just come to the port and park there. Port is very efficient, parking is big, long bridge is a sight seeing bonus on the way there 2. There are fast boat (1 hour) and slow boats (3 hours) also one in the middle. The boat WeChat app did not support foreign passports, so best get a good hotel and ask them to buy tickets for you, have to do this well in advance 3. For hotel we stayed in Sea Cliff Hotel. It is modern with all rooms looking at the sea. Nice restaurant working flexible hours. Great management that very well look after every guest. They arranged for us a pick up taxi and then we used this taxi for most of our island rides. 4. Sunset bay in GanXieCun. Come for coffee to meet the sunset in the famous coffee shop, then walk down to the bay and see some fisherman coming home with fish by the end of the day 5. Start next day with Eastern Cliff. Fantastic Wow views to capture without a rush, have some rest in a coffee shop before leaving to next place. 6. Howtouwan - the ghost village. Best to get a taxi there as it is located over steep hill. First come and enjoy the viewing platform. Then get into the first bay. The best part to me was the second bay, very few people come there and much more authentic. There is also a boat going from there, check in advance when it operates, so you can save energy on climbing back to the exit and see the place from the sea. Village is great for afternoon and I suggest enjoy it without rush. Sun coming down creates lots of great views. There is some water and snacks in the first bay stop, enough to rest and keep exploring 7. For dinner and evening I advise Daiwangcun Beach area. There is a famous fish street, couple of bigger sea view restaurants, coffee place and couple of bars. Best way to spend your evenings. 8. The sea on the island is clean, not like in Shanghai, should be great over summer! Hope it helps. I loved the place, will come again, maybe with friends for swimming. Explore Guoqi and you will not regret! #planyourtrip
