Zhoushan is the smallest third-tier city in Zhejiang, but there are more than 20 cross-sea bridges, which can be regarded as the city with the largest number of cross-sea bridges in China.
Zhoushan is one of the few archipelago-level cities in China, and the entire prefecture-level city is composed of thousands of large and small islands, so it is the kingdom of the island and the "expo" of bridges, such as the world's largest span of the outer sea cable-stayed bridge Jintang Bridge, the deepest and largest drilled pile foundation Yushan Bridge and so on in Zhoushan.
Because many cross-sea bridges connect the islands of Zhoushan, Zhoushan has also developed rapidly. Originally, Shanghainese thought Zhoushan was a "rural area", but now it is regarded as "Shanghai's back garden" and is also known as a "sea park".
Earlier, the anecdotes began to circulate the good story of "working in Shanghai, coming to Zhoushan for the elderly", Shanghainese people go to Zhoushan to buy a house for the elderly seems to be a "fashionable" thing, even Hangzhou people praise it there is very comfortable and beautiful.
Zhoushan is located in the northeast of Zhejiang, close to Hangzhou and Shanghai. With an average annual temperature of 16 °C, even in the hottest month of August, it is only 25.8-28 °C, making Zhoushan a perfect summer resort for the retired elderly in Hangzhou and Shanghai.
Zhoushan relies on 1390 islands to form a magnificent picture of the "City of a Thousand Islands", and there are many scenic spots in the area, the pace of life is slow, and the price is moderate. Such a place is an ideal "paradise" for retirees from the highly developed and densely populated Shanghai or Hangzhou.
In Zhoushan, you can not only appreciate the charm of Putuo Mountain, the "Sea and Sky Buddha Country", but also experience the vastness of the Zhujiajian Zhoushan Archipelago, the legend of Dongji Island, the easternmost island in China, the beauty of the small Greek Goji Island in the East, and the blue tears of the Chinese version of Santorini Flower and Bird Island. It can be said that life in Zhoushan is an island resort-style daily life based on the style of mountains and seas and linked by the cross-sea bridge.
People take food as the sky, Zhoushan people's dinner table can not be without seafood, pi pi shrimp, striped fish, shrimp, pomfret, mud snail, yellow fish, flower clams, without any spices steamed, light and delicious food. In Zhoushan, seafood noodles are a major specialty, and seafood noodle restaurants can be seen everywhere in the streets.
Zhoushan also has Jintang plums, late rice bayberry, Putuo Buddha tea, Guanyin cake, Wujingtan hard cake and other unforgettable flavors.
The cross-sea bridge connects many islands in Zhoushan, as if stringing together one pearl after another. Islands such as Putuo Mountain and Zhujiajian have flocked to many pilgrims and tourists because of their convenient transportation. Port trade and tourism industries have driven the rapid development of Zhoushan Islands, and have also made outstanding contributions to the economy of the Yangtze River Delta and beyond.
Over the years, Zhoushan has been at the top of the national air quality ranking list. High-quality ambient air quality, coupled with good scenery such as golden sands, blue sky, and blue sea, as well as convenient transportation networks and perfect urban infrastructure facilities, have made Zhoushan leap to the ranks of livable cities in the country, and I believe that in the future, it is not only the retired people in Shanghai and Hangzhou. One day, will you also come to Zhoushan to take a look?
