Expert route
Highlights one: changes in administrative division of the overall planning of the promotion of linkage Mishima
Manager Li said, Chongming Tourism tourist market in the past is placed not on the “table”, and agree that no Shanghai What kind of travel, and pediatrics. Even today, travel to Tibet Road, Street, take a look at there are few listed Chongming tourism routes. But in fact, much can be Chongming Tourism Tour of the Office of First Road near to the Po Yang pier sit Wusong ship, if it is speedboat and 40 minutes to reach the county seat of Chongming South Gate. Similar to the other two islands, in the past administrative regions, the islands are divided, divided into two Chongming and Baoshan District, from 2005, the three islands owned by one, by Chongming management, linkage Mishima overall planning, tourism resources integration of complementary and share with the convenience.
Highlights 2: an early start Chongming Tourism
The other two islands is more worthy of promotion
In this three islands in Chongming Tourism take the first steps to farmers happy as signs, supplemented by the Dongtan Eco-natural wetlands, migratory birds, the largest viewing area and Shanghai Dongping Forest Park, the past two years, attracting many people and in Shanghai in eastern China tourists attracted to. Like the same music in two years of travel time, the development of Chongming 2 day tour routes have been organized more than 20,000 tourists transport passengers, travel agents ranked first in Chongming. Present Chongming Tourism is already very fire, and Feng Dao Golden Week, holiday on the island a little better hotels, resorts are hard to find a room, avant-garde music and Forest Park Village, farmers are also heads a large pool, but the other two islands are also like a shy girl, quietly lying on the Yangtze River estuary of the waves, few tourists on the island.
Therefore, the Tour of Chongming series of lines with a focus on Hengsha, Changxing, the promotion of the two islands. In fact, the three islands are similar geographic location, so Chongming some tourism resources, the other two islands are also owned. As the two island tour started late, the original eco-farm taste thicker. On Changxing Island, Shanghai has been identified as shipbuilding base, century-old factory Jiangnan Shipyard and Shanghai Zhenhua Port Machinery will be moved to where the island is now under massive construction projects to build Asia’s largest shipbuilding base, and therefore leisure farm vacation at the same time, Industry, Tourism and will also become Aspect.
Hengsha Island is entirely an isolated farm in the original eco-island, the island of 52 square kilometers of land, only the resident population of 3 million, of which there are three points, one of the prime labor force to work outside year round in Shanghai area, operating . On the island, you only see large tracts of farmland and dense trees and vegetation, but do not see a few shadows. Quiet, simple, naturally left to the public a sense of Hengsha Island, the entire island on a highway, a bus line, three traffic lights. Not a factory, and no pollution, so Hengsha Island and enjoy “Water Pure Land net air-net” in the world.
This opened up like a travel agency Changxing Hengsha 2 day tour, main leisure vacation, emphasizing self-help travel, travel agents, only back and forth between the two islands and two islands of the tickets, as well as accommodation, other travel agencies listed in the menu items are mostly from the visitors of their choice.
Experts recommend:
First day: Changxing Island
Citrus Orchard Resort
Manager Li suggested that the first days after the tourists on the island, in the Changxing is mainly citrus orchard resort of fun, citrus orchard resort although the name is a three-star hotel, is actually a tourist attraction, resort area, where 10 thousand square meters, Walk the park, trees lush, green everywhere, winding path garden path out into the depths of the projects play a lot of fishing and hunting horseback laser firing. In April, orange flowers, and orange as dozens of acres of citrus Zhou Qiong Lu Can-a white, aroma fragrance, very spectacular, but the citrus blossom flowering period is very short, usually in early April began to bits and pieces, to the four during the Golden Week later this month, and 51 of the most lush, all in full bloom, to basically thank the middle of May.
The next day: Hengsha Island
Angel Beach Resort
The next day, take the Changxing to Hengsha pendulum ferry, Hengsha and Changxing depend on close, in the Changxing ferry, you can see clearly Hengsha Island ferries is very small, half-hour intervals, only 15 minutes to come to Hengsha of. Hengsha island has an angel in this unique beach resort, covers an area of 120 mu, but also a set of accommodation, entertainment, recreational and leisure in one resort. Tourists on the island, will be the first climb to the Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration in the Office of the radar station Hengsha high 14-storey, this radar is mainly responsible for all vessels entering and leaving the waters of the Yangtze River estuary of the observational records, board radar can ” Set mesh Tianshu “It clearly shows the vast Yangtze River to see the atmosphere, if the weather is sunny and beautiful, the other side of the Pudong International Airport is also vivid.
In addition to this radar station, in the Hengsha tourism, exports seem to say that there will be no tourist attractions. Manager Li said that by the Hengsha Island, not the traditional concept of tourism point of view, Hengsha Island’s main “selling point” is the latest one from the Shanghai holiday island of pure color. In the spring, Hengsha island, there are city people do not see the pastoral scenery: green farmland, orchards, bamboo groves, surrounded by white walls and red tile roofs of cottages, flocks of ducks in the pond leisurely play, stay late to water buffalo pulling carts pulled by the master, “wheel, wheel” from the road through. A small farm in the rolling rape homes submerged trees, clumps stuck your head out of the peach in the blue sky under the extraordinarily brilliant, local farmers are very simple, the islanders are basically households Lubushiyi closed at night to see the city people have arrived in Shanghai will be very warm invite you into the room, casually chat.
Special Recommendation: Aquatic eat your fill
The two islands are also eaten on this island at the most attractive holiday tour destinations, such as Hengsha Island, mostly in agriculture, aquaculture and fishing industry, though very rich in aquatic products, fish have saury, anchovy, the East China Sea a small fish, the fish back the Yangtze River bass. However, the most famous was Hengsha snail and crayfish, because there is no pollution, water, especially clean, everyone in a big snail shell is thin, eating mouth is very waxy. The same is true of small lobsters, water quality is good, the shell is transparent, fleshy plump. Vegetable farmers are also to attract tourists, such as goat meat. White lentils, salt grass, wild eel, red nose, ducks, free-range farmers Cao Ji. And certainly can rest assured that there would be no chemical receptor components inside. As the meal is not included in the travel agencies charge inside, so to eat the island’s specialties, in addition to pre-Qingming saury price of 700-800 yuan a pound, slightly more expensive, other are very cheap, generally 10 people to eat, table 300 yuan definitely can handle that.
Reporter Comments: Isles tourism to recommend it but there are traffic limitations
Psychological characteristics of tourism is “far away”, before the eyes of tourist attractions are mostly turned a blind eye to drive hundreds of kilometers of an ordinary attraction but would be happy to drive in the past, so as Hengsha, Changxing this road very far, the price is not very suitable for the people of Shanghai to your a long holiday weekend, where it has not been found, of course, the traffic islands at present not quite normal, run into a slight wind and waves should suspended, but also islands tourism should carry out a large-scale population bottleneck can not be ignored.

June 4 tide on that day around 14:00 hours and more often after high tide, there is a half-hour at low tide.
