What can defeat the 38°C urban heatwave? Perhaps the 26°C Huanglong Island. Sea breeze sweeps across the cliffs, waves break into white foam, and the horizon shifts from emerald to cobalt blue. This summer, Huanglong Island declares victory over the heat!

From July 2 to October 7, 2025, Huanglong Island resumes direct ferry service from Shenjiawan Terminal. No transfer at Sijiao Island is required, greatly reducing travel time. A high-speed ferry departs Shenjiawan at 9:00 daily, heading straight to the island. Return ferries depart Huanglong Island at 12:10.

▇ For self-drive, navigate to “Shenjiawan Passenger Terminal”. By public transport, take the shuttle bus from Shanghai Nanpu Bridge Station.

▇ Summer weather changes quickly. Please check real-time ferry schedules via the “Shengsi Passenger Transport” WeChat account before departure.

▇ On the island, save energy on the road so you can spend more on fun—chasing sunsets and enjoying bowls of homemade seafood noodles. Spend all your saved energy on “playing”!

【01 Open a Blind Box of Azure Sea】

Each summer, the Pacific southeast monsoon pushes the warm Taiwan Current toward the East China Sea shelf, bringing clear blue water to the surface. As a small island close to open sea, Huanglong Island displays crystal-clear emerald blue in summer.

Some compare Huanglong Island’s summer sea to the Philippines’ “jelly sea”, but its blue carries the East China Sea’s unique power and depth. It changes with time, light, and distance—pure yet layered. At Dongjuitou, where DaLeZhiYe is located, stone houses wrapped in vines meet endless blue, creating a wild yet lively hidden-land feel. The white lighthouse on the hill adds a fairy-tale touch—perfect for effortless island photos.

【02 Experience the “Triple Romance” Magic Hour】

On Huanglong Island, one sunset brings three kinds of romance. Rent a bike and circle the island—each hour reveals a new light show. At 17:30, the lighthouse glows gold at Daqianzuitou; at 18:30, the pier steps turn violet under dusk; at 19:30, Bei'ao Beach blushes pink as fishermen return home.

Even if you prefer relaxing, enjoy the sunset at DaLeZhiYe’s bar or pool wrapped in purple-pink hues. Here, sunset isn’t a fleeting moment—it pairs with the stars for a two-act performance. Lean back in a wave-shaped chair as the 270° sunset rushes toward you, then watch stars scatter across the sea at blue hour’s end.

【03 Let East Sea Morning Light Wake You】

This time, your alarm clock is replaced by morning light breaking through the curtains. DaLeZhiYe offers Morning Light Rooms facing the open sea—no need to wake early or dress up. Stay in bed and let the sunrise wake you, then drift back into a second gentle sleep.

You can’t take the sea home, but a handmade magnet captures a piece of your island time. In busy days, a glance at the shells and sand may bring the sound of waves back to you.

Stop scrolling! The blue on your screen can’t match the real sea of Shengsi. Saved photos can’t beat a steaming bowl of seafood noodles fresh from the kitchen. No air-conditioning compares to diving into the pool at sunset. Huanglong Island is your unlimited summer joy booster!
