After a 3-day trip to Shengsi, my spending habits have completely "fallen apart"!

Babes! Just returned from Shengsi, my mind keeps replaying the blue sea and sky, but my wallet keeps "whimpering" in distress 😭 I thought an island trip was just about feeling the sea breeze and eating some seafood, but these three days, my spending habits were repeatedly smashed and refreshed on the beach! Today, let me share how "addictive" spending money in Shengsi can be～

Stay: The sea view room is so expensive, I have to admit it! 🌊

Before going, I complained, "Isn't a sea view room just a room with a window facing the sea?" But once I stayed, I was instantly proven wrong—seriously amazing! I booked a guesthouse on Gouqi Island, with a balcony facing the entire sea. Woke up gently to the sound of waves in the morning, opened the curtains to a pink-purple sunrise, fishing boats drifting slowly on the shimmering golden sea—this scene instantly made me feel it was totally worth it!

Although the price is much higher than city hotels, sitting on the balcony at night, feeling the sea breeze, counting stars, and hearing faint fishing songs from afar—this relaxed feeling of "bringing the sea into life" is really priceless, no matter how much you pay.

Eat: Seafood makes your wallet "voluntarily slim down"! 🦞

The seafood in Shengsi is so fresh it makes you stomp your feet! In the market, freshly docked swimming crabs and mantis shrimp are still jumping. The vendor weighs and steams them on the spot. Opening the crab reveals sweet, fresh crab roe, and the mantis shrimp meat is as tender as pudding～

Of course, the prices are very "reasonable"! After a seafood feast, you can visibly see your wallet getting lighter, but looking at the bright red shrimp and crabs on the table, and sipping the unbelievably delicious broth, you can only silently comfort yourself: "When traveling, eating well is the real deal!" Even the seafood noodles from street stalls are amazing, piled high with shrimp, clams, and razor clams, with a broth so fresh you want to lick the bowl clean～

Play: The joy of going out to sea is worth the money! 🚤

At first, I winced at the boat rental fee: "Isn't it just a boat ride?" But after going out to sea, I screamed the whole time! The fisherman cast the net, and when pulling it up, it was full of lively shrimp and crabs, plus many little fish whose names we couldn't even say. We scrambled to pick them up, laughing louder than the waves～

Passing by a deserted island, the boat stopped on the clear sea. Jumping in to snorkel, I saw colorful little fish swimming by my feet, and the water was as blue as a giant jelly～ This close contact with the sea made me happily willing to pay!

Stroll: The free healing vibes are the most touching! 🌿

Visited the "uninhabited village" at Houtouwan, and climbing the hillside was stunning—like the Wizard of Oz coming to life! Abandoned houses covered with ivy, the dazzling blue sea in the distance, every photo looks like a movie screenshot～ The grandma in the village sells homemade dried fish at a great price, 50 yuan for a big bag, salty and chewy, ten times tastier than supermarket ones!

Walking on the seaside boardwalk at dusk was also super healing. Watching fishing boats return to port, the sunset dyed the sky orange, fishermen carrying nets chatting and laughing—this slice of everyday life can be enjoyed without spending a dime～

After three days, the bill was indeed a bit "shocking," but looking back at that unbelievably blue sea when leaving, I suddenly understood: some happiness is worth spending money on～ If you go to Shengsi, remember to bring your wallet, and more importantly, bring a heart ready to enjoy! ✨
