There was very beautiful weather in Shanghai on Saturday, so we decided to spend that sunny day on the beach. A few days ago we read an article in Smart Shanghai about Jinshan, which is a very famous place for enjoying a beach atmosphere which is one hour away from Shanghai by taking train (number) 22 from Shanghai Railway Station. Even though people are not allowed to swim there, which is very sad, we had a very nice time. We bought some beef, chicken, vegetables, salt and black pepper and rented a grill. We also brought a picnic blanket, but we didn’t need it. We sat on the bench around the picnic table /connected to the picnic table with a built-in grill. There was also the possibility to rent a foot paddle boat or play volleyball. I would definitely suggest this place to my friends, if they would like to escape Shanghai / adventure outside of the city / explore a new place / go to a beach / find a new summer hangout / get out of the city and go somewhere “natural”…
