Nanchangtu Beach, located in the central bay on the south side of Shengsi Island, is known as "Sister Beach" with Jihu Beach. The two beaches are separated only by a hillock known as Tiger Head. Nanchangtu's surface is clean, soft, and creamy yellow, shimmering like a crescent moon amidst the azure sea and lush hills. Enjoy the fun of the sea with activities like bathing, beach soccer, barbecued game, and crab digging (except during peak season, when there are generally no other recreational activities on the beach). While the entertainment options are less extensive than those at Jihu Beach, it's relatively less crowded, making for a more enjoyable experience.

I had high hopes for Nanchangtu Beach. I could tolerate the muddy yellow water and the messy beach, but I couldn't tolerate such a beach charging 50 yuan per person. I went home after arriving there. Do they think tourists are all fools? I won't go to such a place again.
I thought the sea would be yellow, but it was surprisingly blue. I got a half-price coupon for the B&B here, 25 per person. The weather was great and the photos I took didn't need any editing.
I absolutely have to give the Shengsi {Yiyuge} B&B a try. Their rooms are truly beautiful and clean, and they have sea views! I personally found the price reasonable, considering the great location, new rooms, and sea views! I also checked with other nearby B&Bs, and they were all about the same, so it's a good value. The hostess was very friendly and helpful, answering every question. She explained how to get there and back, explained how to visit attractions, and helped us arrange transportation and ferry tickets, even running around on a hot day. The whole point of traveling is to have convenience and peace of mind. This trip was a great experience, and I'll definitely go back to Shengsi next time. The Heshangtao scenic spot is beautiful, but it's too tiring for the kids to walk. We skipped the attractions the next day and spent the day at the beach right outside. There's also a swimming pool nearby, which is at the resort hotel, but you do need to buy a ticket. It was still a good experience. Shengsi is truly wonderful. Enjoying the sea breeze and the seafood is truly relaxing!
The beach is 2,750 meters long and 200 meters wide. The beach is clean, soft and milky yellow. It is especially beautiful at sunset. However, it is not suitable for swimming.
For domestic beaches, it is very good to find one like this one around Shanghai. Nanchang Beach, well, it is a private beach and is much better than Bijihu Beach.
I took advantage of the May Day holiday to go to Shengsi Islands. Although public transportation on the island is not very developed, the prices of restaurants in the city are quite reasonable. Nanchangtu Beach has few people and the sand is very fine. It is rare to enjoy the feeling of blue sea and blue sky. The beach staff are warm and welcoming, so I specially recommend it ☺
Asked the hotel for a ticket discount, but swimming is not allowed during May Day holiday.
The beach is a paid beach, large and has many entertainment options. It's a resort. The price is 50 yuan in the peak season and 30 yuan in the off-season. My family stayed at the Donghai Fishing Village B&B, which was clean and affordable. The owner gave us a business card. I'll definitely come back next year if I have the chance.
I really don't want to go a second time. There is nothing special except the sand. The scenic spot is dirty and there is not even a place to wash your feet.
Good good good good good good good good good good good good
On this island, except for the small, dirty beach in the Cinque Terre, which is free, everything else has to be paid for entry. Grilling four cabbage leaves, two strands of kelp, and an eggplant costs 65, and it's terrible...
I particularly like this place. Compared with Jihu Beach, the beach is clean, there are few people and the scenery is beautiful.
Not very good, the service attitude is also poor, the ticket checking staff are of poor quality, do not wear work clothes, are sloppy, and have no service awareness. The beach hotel is not very good either.
Tickets are required, it's cheaper at night and better to play during the day!
We originally planned to go to Jihu Beach, but on the way there, the locals said that Nanchangtu was better. Later, we met someone who had been to both beaches and they also said that Nanchangtu was better. This beach is the hotel's private beach. We first went to the hotel and took the elevator to the first floor. After walking a few steps, we were stopped to buy tickets. We went there at night and could buy tickets for 16 yuan on the same trip. The original price was 20 yuan. You can buy tickets for the day before 7 pm. There didn't seem to be any activities there at night, and we didn't see any bonfire parties. The sea water was not very clear. So it was just average.
I got four stars because the sand is very fine, better than many places in Sanya. The sea water is also quite clean. There are many lifeguards, but they charge a fee for the seats nearby, which is 400 yuan for the whole day. It's a rip-off. The prices of drinks and fruits in the small shop next to it are ok and acceptable.
The beach entrance fee is 20 yuan. Yes, there is an entrance fee for the beach, 20 yuan. The sea water is grayish yellow, and I don't know how to get into the water. It's a huge expense. The key is that the cost is completely disproportionate to the enjoyment.
Sister Beach stops selling tickets at 5pm. There is a sailing square next to it, with fewer shops. The restaurants don't have price lists and all prices are fixed. It feels like a rip-off.
The scenery is good and there are not many people on the beach.
Temperatures in Hangzhou were already above 30 degrees Celsius by the end of May. I recently visited Shengsi and stayed at the same hotel I stayed at last year: Shengsi Yusao Xiaozhuang. It was very comfortable, with the highest temperature never exceeding 25 degrees Celsius. If you're not afraid of the cold, you can even go swimming in the sea.
Watching the sunrise, playing on the beach, listening to the waves, feeling the sea breeze, and eating seafood are really a pleasure for both body and mind.
There aren't many amenities at the entrance. They probably just have barbecue. There's no price list. The beach is a great place for taking photos.
Now that the weather is warming up, it's the perfect time to visit Shengsi. A friend recommended me staying at Yusao Xiaozhuang in Shengsi. Uncle Fang introduced me to Liujingtan, Heshangtao, Dabei Mountain, and Nanchangxia Beach, where I went fishing and had a great catch. The room was very clean, and the seafood was excellent. I highly recommend it. WeChat: shengsiyusao, Tel: 138-6822-5531.
We gathered at 3:30 PM and, led by the hotel owner, headed for Nanchangtu Beach, just over 100 meters away. The entrance fee seemed to be 50 yuan, but the hotel owner's group apparently only charged 25 yuan per person. The beach looked pleasant and comfortable to walk on, warm and soft. We headed straight for the sea. From a distance, it looked like a vibrant blue sea with rolling waves, but when we got closer, we were shocked to find the waves were covered in thick sand and mud—muddy water, to put it bluntly. It was quite disappointing; I hadn't expected this. Seeing the students swimming like dumplings and the children floating like ducklings, I bravely jumped in for a swim. After getting a little wet, we came ashore. Just walking on the beach was quite pleasant.
We saw a lot of mentions online about this being a free beach. Whether we couldn't find a free area or it's now paid, we bought a 35-yuan ticket. The beach was practically deserted! Our entire space was ours alone. The weather was pleasant, and the water was a pale blue. Rocks dotted the beach, allowing for easy climbing. A few steps offshore, a small rock jutted out of the water, perfect for sitting and taking photos. Compared to Jihu Beach, this one had few amenities. Just clean sand, clean water, and a clear sky—simple and simple.
The scenery is very good, the beach is clean, Biji Lake is good, the ticket price is 50 for adults and half price for children. Activities such as driving a beach motorcycle for 10 minutes for 180 yuan is too expensive.
Sunrises on islands always fascinate me. Aside from the time I saw a sky filled with crimson clouds at Fangchenggang's Golden Beach, I haven't seen anything particularly beautiful. Yesterday, the mountains on Huaniao Island blocked the sunrise, so I only saw a hint of the morning glow. Last night, I slept well after drinking some bayberry wine. Today, I woke up at 4:30, but as fate would have it, the sunrise was again blocked by the mountains, and I didn't even see the morning glow. Since I couldn't sleep, I got up and went for a walk on Nanchangtu Beach.
Nanchangtu Beach and Jihu Beach are separated by a single hillock, known as "sister beaches." The beach, about 2 kilometers long, has been fenced off by a developer and charges 25 yuan per person (collected at the hotel sales office). Because of this, it's relatively less crowded than Jihu Beach, making it a great place to have fun. The soft sand was so comfortable that I took off my shoes and strolled barefoot along the shore.
The beach is very clean, the recreational facilities are basically the same, there are many people, it is recommended to go
What a rip-off place. Shengsi has become obsessed with money. The fees everywhere are ridiculously high. They fence off some shabby places just to charge money. The ticket for a beach is 50 yuan, and it costs 30 yuan to store your belongings after entering. The shower is 15 yuan per person, and it costs 20 yuan after 6 pm. There is a floating bridge inside, and the old man guarding it is an old dog with a very bad attitude. He always asks you outsiders what to do.
It is a scenic spot with island characteristics, suitable for tourists to come and experience the island style.
Compared to the more famous Jihu Beach, Nanchangya Beach on Shengsi Island is more pristine and not crowded even during peak season. And after eating at the night market at 6 pm, you can go to the beach for free.
It is also a paid beach and is cleaner than Biki Lake Beach.
Nanchangtu Beach is located in the central bay on the south side of Shengsi Island. It's known as "Sister Beach" with Jihu Beach. The two beaches are separated only by Hutou Hill. The beach is 2,750 meters long and 200 meters wide, consisting of three adjacent beaches: Nanchangtu, Gaochangwan, and Shizhu. There's also a small islet in front of the beach.
This is the largest beach on Shengsi Island. While not as famous as Jihu Beach, it's definitely better! The sand along the coastal beach is very fine, making playing in the water exciting. Sitting on the beach and gazing into the distance is also a great option! If you're interested, you can head to the foot of the mountain on the left side of the beach for some primitive rock climbing, which is quite exciting. This place is unmanned, so safety is your responsibility!
I won't say much about the rest, don't go there during holidays, it's a huge pit
Tickets are a bit of a rip-off, 50 yuan per seat. Date and time: September 3, 2015. For your reference
The sea water is still relatively clear, and there are more people on holidays.
There are quite a lot of people playing here, so the water is not particularly clean =. = The local residents will symbolically set up a stall there to collect a small entrance fee. It is right next to the farmhouse where we stayed, which is very convenient. You can take a walk there after dinner in the evening. There will be many people selling fireworks and sky lanterns. You can buy them and release them on the beach. No one will collect entrance fees at this time. There are no street lights or anything on the beach, so you have to pay attention to your own safety. After setting off the fireworks and sky lanterns, most people leave the garbage there. It is not only a quality issue, but it is also too dark and inconvenient to clean up. This is why the sea and beach are not very clean.

I remember when I went on a spring outing in elementary school, it was really beautiful to be back to back with Jihu Beach.
Nanchangtu Beach is quite large, fenced off by a developer who charges 25 yuan per person (collected at the hotel sales office). We arrived late, and the wind was strong, so we didn't go in the water. After a while, the children pointed to the restrooms outside the ticket booth, so we went in without hesitation and then relaxed on the rocking chairs they provided. It was a very relaxing experience, enjoying the sea breeze. We didn't need a ticket. We could have gone in the water, and no one was watching. But we didn't have a ticket, so we felt guilty...
Nanchang Beach in Shengsi is one of the two paid beaches. It is closer to us, about 2 kilometers long, and much more sanitary.
Located in the middle bay on the south side of Shengsi Island, it is known as the "Sister Sand Beach" with Jihu Beach. The two beaches are separated only by a hill called Hutou Mountain. (20 yuan/person) This ticket price may vary between off-season and peak season.
Nanchang Long Beach, no money, no tickets, and its symmetrical sister beach, forty-one tickets, I did not go, anyway, this one is very beautiful just looking at it
Nanchangtu Beach is a beach close to Gaochang Bay and Dabei Mountain and is open to the public free of charge.
Recommended, there is no charge if you go early, the beach is very clean and not crowded.
I personally recommend it. Although there are no entertainment facilities, the beach at Biki Lake is vast.
There aren't many tourists on the beach, which is good. It will be fun to play on a good day.
After we arrived at the hotel and put our bags away, we headed to the Nanchang Beach, which we had already planned. It's just a little way next to the hotel, and the beach is "free." Most importantly, it's very clean, and there were no people there. That day, it was just me and Smet.
Tickets at the entrance cost 20 yuan per person, and renting a swimming ring cost 15 yuan each. After changing into our swimsuits and exiting, we discovered a major problem: we'd brought nearly all our valuables with us—cameras, phones, wallets—but there was nowhere to leave them. Beach chairs and umbrellas were available for rent on the beach. Once you rented one, you could place your belongings on the chair and the staff would help watch over them. The rental cost 50 yuan per hour, but it was incredibly dark and a rip-off. But we had no choice but to rent for safety's sake.
Beautiful place, left happy memories, going home tomorrow!
There are few people, it's free, and there is a small island that is only connected by tides, which is great!
The entire beach is more than 3,000 meters long and is very clean. The sand is very fine and comfortable to walk on. The beach here is free. I heard two drivers recommend this place, saying that the scenery is similar to that of Jihu Lake, which costs 60 yuan for a ticket. In this way, South Beach is really worth it.
The fine sand and the waves as big as pork belly... the scenery here is really unique~!
Just look at the sea, surrounded by the sea, nice scenery
A very quiet and nice beach, worth a visit
Nanchangtu Beach has become more upscale and fashionable due to the presence of a resort hotel. Fortunately, there are not many people here. Compared with the famous Jihu Beach, this one is more comfortable and leisurely. The beach chairs are arranged here, just like the feeling of Halong Bay in Vietnam.
It is known as the "sister beach" of Jihu Beach. When we went there, there were not many people and no entrance fee was charged. There are few entertainment activities.
The sand is quite fine and there are not too many tourists, but the management of the beach needs to be strengthened.
Following the winding mountain road downhill, and then through the rugged, uncultivated grasslands, we arrived at the eastern edge of Nanchangtu Beach. Here, another two-kilometer-long sandy beach, its finest sand, was enviable. Slipping off my shoes and hanging them on my backpack, the walk now became a pure experience of savoring, especially as the cool water washed over my feet and then quickly receded. Under the scorching sunlight, the sand even rustled.
This is the largest beach on Shengsi Island. While not as famous as Jihu Beach, it's definitely better! The sand along the coastal beach is very fine, making playing in the water exciting. Sitting on the beach and gazing into the distance is also a great option! If you're interested, you can head to the foot of the mountain on the left side of the beach for some primitive rock climbing, which is quite exciting. This place is unmanned, so safety is your responsibility!
Nanchangtu Beach is located in the central bay on the south side of Shengsi Island. It's known as "Sister Beach" with Jihu Beach. The two beaches are separated only by Hutou Hill. The beach is 2,750 meters long and 200 meters wide, consisting of three adjacent beaches: Nanchangtu, Gaochangwan, and Shizhu. There's also a small islet in front of the beach.
The sand on this beach is pretty good, very fine and soft to the feet.
A fee of 20 yuan per person is required, and parasols and lounge chairs will be provided.
If you prefer quiet, then head to Nanchangtu Beach, where there are fewer people and the sand is soft, perfect for relaxing! It's free before 8 a.m. and after 6 p.m., and the in-between hours are also very cheap, only 20 yuan.
Nanchangya Beach is probably the largest beach on the Shengsi Islands. It's clean and well-managed, and it's a great place for beach bathing!
We lived close to Nanchangtu Beach, so we went there. The ticket price was 20, which I thought was about right. It was early in the morning, and there weren't many people. We happily treaded in the water and dug for crabs. My son had a really good time!
The beach is average in size and the water quality is average, it can't be compared with Hainan! Few people participate in water sports, but many people go to the fishing village!
The ticket is 20 yuan, the sand is fine and the water is clear, and there are not many people.
Facing the East China Sea, motorboats and beach buggies are a unique pleasure.
Don't go to Jihu Beach, Nanchang is just as good, with fewer people and cheaper tickets. Come swim instead.
There are some small islands around the beach. Compared with Jihu Beach, Changtu has fewer recreational projects, but it is quieter.
The luxurious villas are built along the coast, and there are performances on the beach at night. It's great! It's worth a visit.
The sand on Nanchangshi Beach is relatively fine, clean and less crowded, but the slope is steep, not suitable for swimming far, and the price is also affordable.
A relatively remote beach, not as crowded as Jihu Beach, the ticket price is 21, you can take the bus there
Although it's free, the scenery is also superb. The Nanchang Beach is 3,000 meters long, and you can spend an entire afternoon leisurely without getting bored. The sand is also very soft. If you are wearing sneakers, you can take them off and leave them on the beach without worrying about them being stolen because everyone is just facing the sea.
Compared with Nanchangya Beach and Jihu Beach, it has a different flavor and is worth a visit.
The beach was deserted, and the receding sea water had not swept away the heat, leaving the sand soft and hot.
When I was about to buy tickets, I found that there was no one at the ticket office.
I looked again and saw a big stage set up by the sea. The villagers told me that there would be a performance in the evening, so there was no entrance fee.
There are few people on Nanchangtu Beach, and the sand is very fine, but the color is slightly worse.
The waves at Nanchangyi Beach are more powerful than those at Jihu Beach, making it very suitable for surfing. Nanchangyi Beach is a natural beach that has not been artificially transformed.
Nanchang Beach and Jihu Beach are known as "Sister Sands". There are not as many tourists as Jihu Bathing Beach, but this is the best place for young people to surf. It is close to the beach. Along with the sound of waves, you can hear the laughter of people surfing. My husband can't wait to rush to the sea.
After entering the leak detection gate, I found a different world inside. The sand inside was very fine, which was great. The water was also much clearer than the Jihu Beach yesterday. It was because it had not been developed much, so there were very few people.
It is known as the sister beach of Jihu Beach and is one of the two best beaches on Sijiao Island.
