Zhoushan beaches

[alby]

Hello everybody!

very soon I will live in Ningbo for some months.

I heard about Zhoushan islands, not very far from Ningbo.

Is it an interesting place? What about the beaches and sand?

Clean or not?

And how get that place from Ningbo? By bus? By boat? And how long?

Thank you guys!

Dear Alby ,

Zhoushan is a nice 2 day trip ( 2 days \ weekend ) Hotels are fairly cheap and the beaches are pretty good , most are pay beaches , Yes there is a fee to get on them . but do not expect blue water ,there is still the China Brownish water, not dirty , just brown. local sea food restaurants are OH plenty and quite cheap for a big feed .

best way to get there is the Ferry near Beilun if your driving ,if not you can also probably get a bus for next to nothing, Taxi is about 200 rmb , 100 rmb to the Ferry , 11 rmb to take the ferry , and less than 89 rmb to get to any hotels on the Island . good luck and enjoy .
