🌅【A Taste of Eastern Serenity】
Overwhelmed by the crowds at Shanghai's Bund? Breathe in the sweet sea-salt air of Gouqi Island! 🌊
No need to fight for the perfect beach photo spot here — the abandoned "Fairy Tale Village" covered in ivy offers instant forest-themed magic, while the sunrise at Dongya Cliff is more invigorating than an iced Americano!
While coconut trees dominate other islands, Gouqi's fishing boats compose prose poems on its "sea pastures."
✌️ Pro tip! Gouqi ferry tickets are harder to snag than concert tickets!
Thankfully, our travel agency secured ours — or we'd still be sighing at the pier 👀
