Although Shanghai is close to the sea, there are very few seaside beaches. As Shanghai’s first coastal 4A-level scenic spot, Jinshan City Beach may not have as beautiful a sea view as places like Hainan, but it still satisfies the wish of Shanghai people living by the sea to have a beach. Moreover, there are many amusement facilities on the beach. In the scorching summer, it also attracts many tourists to come and play in the water. This is a seaside ‘enclosed’ by a dam. Outside the dam is the yellowish Hangzhou Bay. Inside the dam is artificially purified blue sea water. Standing on the beach, Jinshan Island in the distance is clearly visible. You can pay to take an electric car and circle around the dam to see the difference between Hangzhou Bay and the purified sea water. At the seaside bathing place, you can play with sand, swim in the sea, go fishing, daze while looking at the sea under a sun umbrella. Renting a set of sun umbrellas includes one umbrella, one table and four chairs. You can also participate in various water sports such as speedboats at sea, sailboats, water bicycles and so on. There are also many amusement projects on the beach, such as beach motorcycles and a small bungee jumping for children. In addition to the usual amusement projects at the seaside, Jinshan City Beach also often holds various grand events, such as the ‘Remember · Shanghai’ International Sand Sculpture Exhibition and the International Music Fireworks Festival.
