② Shengsi County is in the northernmost part of the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang Province. There are more than 400 islands in the county. Of these islands, only 16 are inhabited (有人居住的). And the most famous islands for visitors are Sijiao, Gouqi, Shengshan and the Flower and Bird.
③ First, three of us drove to Shenjiawan Wharf in Shanghai. After parking the car, we took a ferry (轮渡) to Gouqi Island. It took us about two and a half hours to arrive in the island. ▲ — the endless blue sea, the forests, the beautiful stone houses . . . We really had a great time enjoying the beauty of nature and delicious seafood.
④ The next day we went to Shengshan Island. There is a beautiful uninhabited village in the island's northeast. In the 1970s, more than1,000 people lived there and most of them were fishermen. Later they all left and moved to big cities. But we can see many beautiful photos of the village on the Internet, especially the photos of creeping plant mountain tigers (爬山虎). We really liked the green village.
⑤ A five- day trip in Shengsi was really enjoyable. When we were about to leave, I asked a fisherman, "When is the best time to visit Shengsi County?" "Each day if you like," he answered.
