The northernmost part of Shanghai, with "Santorini" and "Monument Valley"



To wait for a blue sunset
And to find a real-life "Monument Valley"
I went to the northeasternmost part of Shanghai - Chongming Island

Chongming Island enters the off-season in winter
But it is full of natural tranquility
I have been to Changxing Island several times before
So I arranged this two-day trip
Mainly on 🌊Chongming Island➕Hengsha Island

⛵️Sunset
It should be one of the most classic sunset spots in Shanghai
If you are lucky, you can take a photo of the bridge➕sunset
Although we didn't wait for the sunset that day
We saw 🌈rainbow clouds and orange-pink sunset
The dike and ❤️red and white lighthouse here are also very cartoonish!
📍Marine Surveillance Wharf, near 📍Sunrise Viewing Point, you can also come to take pictures of the sunrise if you get up early in the morning!

🏯Santorini✖️Monument Valley
Two small western-style buildings hidden in a single villa area
White arches, blue swimming pool, coconut trees and green plants...
It's like traveling to the Mediterranean in 🤍Santorini

In fact, it is the 📍Lanhai Zhuang Resort Hotel where I stayed this time
It is very close to the Marine Surveillance Wharf and the sunrise point
🏡When I walked into these two small white buildings
The staggered stairs are like entering a real-life Monument Valley
Like a maze game coming to life, it is like a dream
There are several types of rooms, each with its own characteristics
Especially the room with a hot tub, it is perfect for a relaxing vacation!
There is also a sunroom with a grill and an underground bar
It is also very warm for friends gatherings or company team building here!

🌊Hengsha Island
The most primitive place among the three islands, only accessible by boat
It seems desolate, but the oxygen content is extremely high, and it is very comfortable to drive
You will encounter various shapes of 💡lighthouses along the way
And the most mysterious little white tower has no exact location so far
But it is easy to find, just drive along the coastal road on the north side
On sunny days, the river surface glows blue like the sea

🚗If time permits, you can also visit Dongtan and Xisha Wetland on the main island
Or go to the seaside of Qianwei Road in Changxing Island Country Park
