Things to do in Shengsi

The scenery is pretty good, but the taxis on the island are too expensive, costing 30 to 59 yuan for a short distance. I recommend self-driving, putting your luggage directly in the car and then driving on the boat.

The small vegetable garden at 7 o'clock, the flowers and birds arrived before 9 o'clock, walked around, the tour bus arrived at the lighthouse, returned to the settlement to eat something, the island is not big, the sea is very blue, returned to Shengsi Island at 2 pm, a simple trip, the scenery is nice

Head to Gouqi Island in the East China Sea and encounter a crystal-clear blue ocean. Arrive by boat, the sea breeze carrying a salty scent that washes away all worries. Stroll along Dawang Beach, where soft golden sand accompanies the clear waves, making it a delightful experience to wade and collect seashells. Climb to the top for panoramic views of the mountains and sea, dotted with buoys from the sea ranches and fishing boats leisurely navigating the water. There are also deserted villages enveloped in greenery, their stone houses hidden among vines, like a real-life version of The Wizard of Oz. From sunrise to sunset, watch the sunset paint the sea red, and in the slow-paced island life, fully enjoy the mountains, the sea, and the evening breeze.

The scenery is beautiful, but the wind is also very strong. It basically involves walking around several cliff faces and viewing them from different angles. After reaching the innermost cliff face, you have to backtrack. It takes about an hour to explore the whole area. There's a stairway at the entrance where you can take some trendy photos.

A taxi ride from Shengshan to the abandoned village costs 30 yuan. There are many steps leading downhill, and the abandoned houses and paths are overgrown with weeds. In summer, it's best to wear long pants to avoid mosquito bites. The journey there is easy, but climbing back up the steps is a bit tiring; older people should proceed with caution. The abandoned houses are scattered across the mountainside in a pleasing, irregular pattern, covered in lush greenery, and are quite extensive.

Both are worth seeing. Liujingtan has many photo spots; it's great for taking pictures. I successfully completed the entire Heshangtao route, which was a challenge for someone like me who is slightly afraid of heights, but the scenery was indeed very beautiful.

The scenery is beautiful, and the journey is a good length. I recommend going down the west route and coming up the east route, taking a half-hour break at a cafe along the way. It's not tiring at all. Some people who climbed up the west route looked exhausted and were complaining.

Huanglong Island is quite fun. There happened to be a hiking meeting these two days. Although the weather was bad, there were still many people. They were the points on the map. Almost no one stopped, only the beautiful house and the bareback mountain. The beautiful house should be very beautiful if the weather is good, because I brought my mother with me. Otherwise, Huanglong Island is very suitable for cycling. One day is enough to ride along the sea.

During the off-season, there is no direct public transportation. You either have to take a taxi or walk. I walked there, which was a long way. The scenery along the way wasn't particularly amazing, and the seawater was murky, indicating serious pollution. But I was the only person in the scenic area, so it felt pretty good to have the place to myself.
