Recommended summer islands in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Let's go to the islands to have fun this summer.
Preface
If you ask me where I absolutely must go in the summer, an island is my first choice. On a scorching summer day, spending two or three days on a quiet, tranquil island to unwind and unwind can instantly dissolve any restlessness. It's clear that this world isn't all about rushing and impetuousness, but about peaceful, tranquil times. Summer is the perfect season for island getaways: swimming, sandboxing, sunbathing, playing in the waves...
1. Nanji Island
Here, you can see the Milky Way, a starry sky visible to the naked eye, free from the light pollution caused by commercial development. Nanji Island, named one of China's ten most beautiful islands by National Geographic, is a national nature reserve and boasts beautiful shell-covered beaches.
The scenery is unique, the water is clear and clean, and it is also the only shell beach in China. The cost of living on the island is relatively reasonable, so go for it, pig girls~

Dotted with islands and reefs, the islands boast clear waters and are nestled at the intersection of the North and South Ocean currents. Rich in fish, shellfish, and algae, they are home to over 300 marine specialties. Known as "Asia's No. 1 Fishing Ground," the Yushan Islands offer a prime spot for sunrise viewing. Standing atop the islands and gazing eastward, the sea and sky blend into a vibrant, vibrant scene, a breathtaking spectacle that evokes a sense of wonder and wonder. On a clear day, gaze from the lighthouse into the distance, and you'll see white sailboats drifting away on the distant sea, accompanied by fishing boats. Fishing and shelling on the shore are both captivating experiences. As the sun sets, watching the twinkling fishing lights and feeling the sea breeze is a truly relaxing experience.

Island travel tips
1. Be sure to bring your ID card and some cash. Although most of the payment methods now accept mobile phone payments, it is easy to lose signal on the island, so it is inconvenient to pay with mobile phones, so just in case, bring some cash.
2. Digital devices, chargers, and power banks are essential for going out, so there is no need to say much. Friends who want to take pictures of the starry sky should bring a camera and a tripod.
3. Be sure to bring your personal toiletries. Some islands are short of supplies and do not provide disposable toiletries. Don't forget to bring sunscreen and toilet water.
4. Bring common medicines with you, such as seasickness medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, and Band-Aids.
5. Water, snacks, and fruits. Although these things are basically sold on the island, they need to be transported from the land to the island. As you can imagine, the prices are very expensive. Try to bring your own. Rich people can do as they please.
6. Beautiful ladies, be sure to prepare your long skirts and straw hats. If the weather is good, you can create blockbuster photos in minutes.
7. It is recommended to bring an extra coat. The temperature difference between day and night is large on the island. If you want to watch the sunrise and sunset, remember to bring a coat.
Conclusion
Summer has arrived, and all the cold and unhappiness will pass. Let's throw away the unhappiness and boredom, and take a joyful island trip together~ Let the beauty of the island make our summer more vibrant.
