The landmark of Magic City, Shanghai's backyard, the secluded island, is quietly cleansing and beautiful

🏝️Hidden next to Changxing Island is the secluded island - Hengsha Island. It can be regarded as the real backyard of Shanghai. This place is not really an island, but it is the estuary of the Yangtze River. There is no land route to Hengsha Island, you can only take a ferry from Changxing Island, which adds a mysterious veil to this small and quiet island. There is not much development here, the scenery is pleasant, it is independent of the world, and full of energy. Taking advantage of the weekend, I booked a homestay on the island to take you to explore. Let's go! ————————— Name: Hengsha Island Address: Hengsha Island, Chongming District, Shanghai. Take a ferry from Changxing Island, cars can take the ferry Ferry: Private car 40 yuan round trip, passenger 5 yuan round trip (every half an hour) Open: 05:40-22:00 ————————— 🏝️The whole island is not big, but it is far from the downtown area of Shanghai. If you come and go on the same day, pay attention to calculate the time. If conditions permit, it is recommended to stay on the island for one night. It takes about an hour to drive around the island. If you go to various scenic spots to take pictures, it still takes 5-6 hours. The island tour route can be based on my key scenic spots: 🌟Riverside & Small White House This is the most popular classic of Hengsha Island, a small white house standing on the sea. Standing on the side of the road and taking pictures, the blue water, blue sky, white house, and clouds are naturally formed. The river tide beats the shore and rolls up the waves, going deep into the river along the dam. The most distinctive point is that during the day, it is relatively quiet, and the long path leads to the white house. In the evening, the sun sets, and as the tide rises, the path is flooded by the river, and the small white house seems to stand in the water. 🌟Bridgehead Lighthouse & Wharf There is a small wharf here that is not open to the outside world. It should be the entrance of the cargo wharf. The long bridge goes deep into the water in the distance. There is a small lighthouse at the end of the bridge. It is very photogenic to take pictures on the bridge, and the lighthouse is also beautiful. Don't forget a beautiful view, it's really absolute to take pictures in the reeds under the bridge. The reeds are not half a person tall, and the pictures are very high when you enter them. 🌟Island Art Pastoral The rice field painting composed of various natural rice fields, the beautiful scenery is all at a glance when you climb the stairs. During the rice harvest season, it is particularly outstanding and beautiful. There are many island cycling teams on the side of the road, forming a beautiful scenery. Many small houses around have been painted with various colorful paintings, which are very beautiful for taking pictures. 🌟Huai Xin Farm Experience the natural farming life, feed small animals, fish, pick fruits and vegetables, and have fun. I will introduce it in detail in the next article. 🏝️In the busy city life, you may need to take time to feel the quietness away from the hustle and bustle. Come on a careful journey. Hengsha Island, this small island, is definitely a good choice for the people of Magic City. How about it? Why not set off immediately?
