Hi
Is there a proper beach in Shaghai area (up to 3 hours riding from shaghai) ? Im talking about sand, beach, the whole thing. As much as i heard, all the beaches in the area are dirty, but maybe i am not familiar with all of them.
thanks |

i know some place with beach,but would be a bit longer than 3 hours. the beach is in NingBo(zhejiang). i.e. PuTuo mountain, (the island) is with a really clean and pretty beach. for this trip you need at least 2 to 4 days, including the boat to and back from the island.
but the one i'm going is called XiangShan(elephant mountain) as i know, it is not far away from the Putuo island, but can go there either by car or train or maybe also boat. but this trip, 2 days could be enough. the place is also with mountain and beach.
you can go and ask some agent, i bet they would know, the average cost from the agent they will ask for rmb298, but not sure if they provide the english service or not.
but i'm thinking about going there by myself, with no agent.

Yeah, there is a beach although I haven't been there:
Shanghai to Open Golden Beach on July 13
Shanghai residents will have their own golden beach, and they will no longer have to take a long trip to Hainan Island to enjoy golden sand, as Fengxian Bay will be open to the public on July 13, Shanghai Evening Post reported today.
The city transported 120,000 tons of golden sand from Hainan Island, which covers the coastline of the 3 square kilometer manmade bay, and imported weatherproofed wood from New Zealand to build a 2,000 meter staircase. The beach area is surrounded by a 30 meter green belt, including palm trees. Visitors will likely be charged a 50 yuan (US$6.25) admission fee.
If it is a success, officials plan to expand Fengxian Bay another 30 square kilometers. Located in the southwest of Shanghai, Fengxian boasts a 31.6 kilometer coastline - the longest of any district in the city. The bay faces the East China Sea and Hangzhou Bay. Fengxian Bay Tourism Committee, which is responsible for the project, said the district has abundant tourism resources and it is a good place for residents to spend a holiday.
The district's officials got the idea to build an artificial bay and beach three years ago. Construction work began last October. After the expansion is complete, people will be able to sail yachts in the bay. But due to the huge investment needed, officials said the expansion won't start for several years.

Hi, I still think Putuo Moutain is a good option. I have organized a group there this weekend. the price is RMB1,000/person for round the fast ship ticket+Hotel+transfer.
If you interest, please email to selinazhouyl@hotmail.com to arrange it. |

Mrs SC and I took her brother and his son to Fenxiang the other week. It was crap. The golden sand looks more like builders sand, the 'sea' is enclosed by concrete leveees. It is crowded.....all in all an experience not worth repeating. |
