Day 2 Shengsi Reef Island Full Day

·morning

After breakfast, we headed to the Liujingtan Scenic Area and the Heshangtao Scenic Area, where you'll find a pure white lighthouse, a swing set against a blue sky, and breathtaking cliffside ocean views. A thousand-meter-long wooden plank road winds along the cliffs, undulating and winding. Stepping on the steep cliffs, you can hear the crashing waves and gaze upon the bizarre rocks and reefs, a breathtaking sight unfolding before your eyes. From the railing, you can gaze at the rolling waves – a truly breathtaking experience!

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime. We ate at the right time, either sharing a meal or finding our own food.

·afternoon

In the afternoon, rent a small electric scooter (rental fee is at your own expense) and start your cycling tour around the island.

Starting from the Left Bank Highway, you'll enjoy endless sea views along the way, allowing you to appreciate the dynamic scenery of Shengsi. Flowers, train stations, beaches, and fishing villages are all perfect for portrait photography.

Go to the Five Cinque Territories of Donghai, experience the unique fishing culture of Shengsi through the colorful folk wall murals, create interesting shapes, and record Shengsi in your eyes.

Discover the youthful seaside court. Facing the sea, this court, painted with vibrant colors, stirs the hormones of youth and sweetens the surge of love. As the basketball soars, we can overlook the mottled stone houses of Huanglong Island across the way.

You can explore and discover the three niche beaches on Shengsi Island (Huicheng Village Beach, Huangsha Beach, and Donghai Fishing Village Beach). Although you can't swim here, the small beaches have fine sand and are full of wild fun.

We returned in time for the island night, where everyone was free to explore the surroundings at night and look up at the sky full of stars, which is a luxury in the city but a common sight here.

Note: When doing activities on the island, please pay attention to your personal safety, especially when you are near reefs or cliffs.

Day 3 Shengsi Island → Pier → Nanjing

All day

Sleep in today and wake up naturally. Island life is about leisure, freedom, and laziness. There's no specific itinerary for today, so you're free to explore as you please. Interested tourists can join a fishing boat trip at their own expense. Experience the fisherman's life on a small boat. If you return with a good catch, you can enjoy your catch at the fisherman's house for lunch, which is sure to be incredibly fresh. Alternatively, explore freely and wander the island to discover its unique corners. Numerous villages and attractions await your discovery.
