This farming island is not too far away from Shanghai. A fast ferry from Wusong Port in Baoshan will get you there in 1 hour and a bit. A full circumnavigation of the whole island will take more than a day along the coast, but highlights of it can be done in a day. I’ve about had it with long blog posts, so this time for once, only pictures, no words. Enjoy…

   Bus 952 from front (left) of Shanghai Museum on People’s Sq, be careful, not 952B, and get off at Wusong pier after coming down from the elevated highway about 1hr away. Then a fast boat for 23RMB will get you there. On the island, I just walked. In winter!

   I didn’t see any beach, its mainly breakwater all around the island. Unfortunately.
