After a fine seafood lunch, take a well-deserved rest because the next item on the itinerary requires plenty of energy. It's time to go fishing; not sitting by the shore, but on a boat, casting a net in the sea.
To feel the sea breeze in their faces and be surrounded by lapping waves, visitors can accompany local fishermen to inner islands, cast a net and see what they catch.
Trips can be arranged by guest houses or hotels, with destinations including Shenshan or Gouqi Island, where most local fishermen work mostly.
The fisherman-for-a-day trip costs 80 yuan per person (40 yuan for children), and you keep your catch. According to locals, the trick to a heavy net is to wait at least 15 minutes before hauling it in.
Take the food back to your happy fisherman's house, and your host will rustle up a perfect fresh seafood dinner (with a charge of around 5 yuan per dish), or try your hand at seafood chef yourself.
The day wouldn't be complete without a moonlit walk along the beach. How could anyone from a light-polluted urban environment miss the opportunity to see myriad glittering stars? And though the sea and beach are shrouded in darkness, isn't it all the more mysterious to feel the sand beneath your feet, the breeze against your skin and the waves crashing in the blackness?
Day 2
If there's a list for five things to do at the seashore, watching the sun rise must be one. All you need is a little self-discipline to get up early - the sun rises at 5:30 am at this time of year.
The best spot to watch sunrise in Shengsi is Liujing Pond, which, though called a pond, is actually sea. The most economic way to get there is to hire a bus with other travel pals, which can be arranged by hotels and fishermen's houses. A taxi is another, more expensive, option.
It's recommended you get there around 5am to secure a good spot for taking photographs.
