A man-made beach resort on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay in Jinshan District: shore-protection dams enclose a clear-water swimming area and fine sand shipped in from elsewhere paves the beach, making it the flagship of seaside holidays in Shanghai. In the swimming season there is a seawater bathing area and water activities; outside the season, seaside strolling is free. Beach music festivals and similar events are often held in summer; the nearby Jinshanzui Fishing Village, an old fishing village still preserved in the Shanghai area, pairs with seafood food stalls and the old street for a one-day trip.
Getting there: Jinshan Railway to Jinshanwei Station, then bus
