Hey there, friends! Shengsi Island is the renowned "summer escape paradise" near Shanghai and Hangzhou! 😎 Unlike those overly commercialized islands, here the sea breeze seems to breathe on its own, gently caressing your face. The beaches are like natural singers, with waves lapping against them to create soothing melodies. And don't miss the mystical and dreamy Houtou Bay, a real-life version of the Wizard of Oz.
Here's the best part! Summer temperatures average just 25.5°C (78°F), so you can lounge comfortably on the beach, munching on watermelon without breaking a sweat—who could resist that? 🍉
