Live Your Best Lives
Accommodation type recommendation: Because the local people are simple and honest, it is close to the beach and attractions, and the information obtained from the owner will help save money and time, so it is recommended to stay in a local farmhouse.
Accommodation prices: 100-120 yuan in the off-season. Peak season and weekends can be quite a bit more expensive, especially on Saturdays, when prices can more than double, reaching 300-400 yuan per night or even 700+ yuan. Prices return to their original value on Sundays.
Accommodation: Sijiao Island offers convenient accommodation options, with numerous choices. The main destinations are Caiyuan Town, near Jihu Beach, near Nanchangtu Beach, and at Dabei Mountain. Caiyuan Town and Jihu Beach have the highest concentration of hotels. Nanchangtu offers fewer options, but it also has its own advantages. Visitors can refer to the following guide for comparison and selection.
Except for Shengshan Island and Gouqi Island, which can basically meet the needs of tourists, there are no hotels on other islands.
There are many hotels and guesthouses of various sizes in Caiyuan Town, with prices ranging from 80 to 280 yuan per room. You can bargain during the off-season. For example, there are Huayin Hotel, Liangyou Hotel, Zhoushan Fenghua International Hotel, etc. In addition, Haijing Road near the aquatic product market in the town center is a concentrated area of accommodation, with hotels on one side and seafood stalls on the other. It is very convenient, and standard rooms are 100-120 yuan per room.
Pros: Caiyuan Town is the seat of Shengsi County's government. Living in the town offers easy access to bus stops, the aquatic product market, and Muzi Bookstore (a bike rental spot).
Disadvantages: It is far from Jihu Beach and Nanchangtu Beach. Transportation is not very convenient when playing on the beach at night. You have to take a taxi. Compared with other accommodations in the town, it is relatively noisy and the price is a bit expensive.
Suitable for: tourists who like to rent bicycles in the town and are loyal to Shengsi's night stalls.

Jihu Beach is the perfect spot for a Sijiao cruise. While there aren't many "beachfront rooms with ocean views" in Shengsi, Jihu Village and the Jinsha Road area (about three minutes from Jihu Beach) are home to a concentration of family-run hotels. Most are two- or three-story Western-style buildings.
Advantages: 1. Jihu Beach is full of fishermen's family hotels. You can go to the aquatic product market in the town center to buy seafood and ask the boss to process it. The processing fee is about 15 yuan per person. If the boss is kind, you can even cook for yourself.
This is the only way to get from Caiyuan Town to other attractions on the island. Not only is the transportation convenient, but it is also very close to other attractions such as Caiyuan Town, Jihu Beach, and Nanchang Road. It is closer than the town, which can save a lot of transportation costs.
Disadvantages: It is some distance away from the seafood market in the town center, so you need to take a car to buy seafood. However, borrowing a bicycle from the owner is a good idea, but it depends on the owner's attitude.
Suitable for: tourists who like to play on the beach at night, cook their own food and want to taste the cooking skills of local fishermen.
Compared to the more mature Jihu Beach, there are very few hotels here, but there are also fewer tourists here, making it more suitable for tourists who want to enjoy the beach and prefer quietness.
Recommended: Dongyi Villa, invested and built by a Shanghainese couple, is cleaner than hotels run by locals and has nicer scenery, but is more expensive (standard room starts at 150 yuan); Jinyin Hotel, close to the beach, costs about 80 yuan per night, and the price is negotiable.
Wulong Township's "Donghai Fisherman's Village" is home to a large number of fishing inns. It's very close to Dabei Mountain, Liujingtan, and the fishermen's houses. The information you get from the owners will help you save money and time. And it offers food and accommodation all in one.
Disadvantages: If you want to go to Jihu or something, you have to take a taxi. Compared with Jihu Beach, the transportation is not very convenient, and there is nothing fun at night.
The hotel is located in the Donghai fishing village of Shengsi. The proprietress and her family are very welcoming. It is very comfortable to stay here, just like visiting relatives. The decoration of the hotel is also very distinctive, with a fisherman's style everywhere. The sea is right outside the door, and there is a sandy beach. Although it is not big, it is very quiet and comfortable. You can hear the sound of the waves while lying in bed at night, which is very comfortable.
