Zhoushan Nansha Avoidance Guide The blue sea next to the sand sculptures is perfect for photos! Plus, local hidden gems

Who understands, family! Almost got discouraged by the yellow muddy water of the cross-sea bridge, but as soon as I entered Nansha, I was amazed by the glowing blue seawater✨ I've compiled this guide full of hard-learned lessons to enjoy the sand and seafood without any pitfalls!

🌊 Must-Do List: Don’t just wade in the water

1. Nonstop Sand Sculpture Kingdom Photos: The 2025 theme is the "Belt and Road" sand sculpture festival. The giant ship sculpture from "One Piece" and the "Lion King" rock wall are super photogenic. There’s also a light show at night, with neon lights shining on the sand sculptures for a full sci-fi vibe. Wear a light-colored long dress and stand beside them to instantly become a comic book heroine!

2. Choose Your Sea Activities: Sailing to watch the sunset is a must! Jet skiing is thrilling but remember to bargain. Families with kids will have plenty of fun digging in the sand. The park rents tools, so no need to bring your own.

3. Hidden Tips: After the tide recedes, walk 300 meters east to the reef area to collect colorful shells and hermit crabs. After 5:30 PM, walk 200 meters to the right to avoid crowds and enjoy the entire beach alone.

🦞 Food Guide: Eat until full for about 50 RMB per person

- Nansha Style Seafood Stalls: Right at the park entrance, the scallion oil mud crab is incredibly fresh, and the cost-performance ratio is unbeatable with less than 100 RMB per person.

- Have a Bowl of Seafood Noodles: Shrimp, squid, and clam noodles are loaded with ingredients. The crab bone sauce is a specialty, and one bowl is super satisfying.

- Pitfall Reminder: Always ask for the "market price" of seafood. Don’t trust roadside touts; only clearly marked prices are reliable.

💡 Heartfelt Avoidance Tips

1. Tickets are 70 RMB per person, half price for children! The rumored "half price after 6 PM" is false, don’t wait in vain.

2. Choose the East Sand parking lot; it’s less crowded than the park entrance and a 10-minute walk away. 6 RMB per hour is not expensive.

3. Don’t queue for showers by the beach! Go near the exit where there are fewer people. Bringing your own tent adds to the vacation vibe.

4. The UV rays are very strong during the day! Apply sunscreen thoroughly. The seawater looks bluer when photographed with backlighting at dusk.

📸 Photo Bonus

Bring a small mirror and place it on the beach to "capture" the sky and waves inside it; arrange shells into an ice cream cone shape with waves as the "cream topping" for a perfect nine-grid post on social media!

Nansha is truly the top spot to see the sea and sky in Zhejiang, with sand as fine as flour and seafood that won’t break the bank. Avoid weekends and just go for it～👇
