Ah Er Seafood Restaurant
If you come to Hengsha Island, don’t miss the seafood with Hengsha characteristics. In this season, beer and seafood are a perfect match.
Fengle Village
Walking on the country paths of Fengle Village, the paths are so clean that you can not see a leaf on them. The clear river flows quietly through the village, reflecting the green plants on both sides. Colorful flowers are planted in front of the white-walled and red-tiled farmhouses, and the peach and orange orchards in the distance echo each other. What a peaceful and serene scene! You can also taste the homemade Chongming cakes and rice wines here. Life is full of fun.
