Lost Chinese Village Consumed By Nature
The best time to see the village is summer -- when vegetation is in full bloom. Getting to Houtouwan isn't a straight-forward trip. Limited ferry services run between mainland China and Gouqi Island (the island is connected to Shengshan by a short bridge).
Usually, only one ferry ride departs daily from Shanghai's Shenjiawan Pier (at 9:15 a.m.) and Zhoushan Shenjiamen Banshengdong Dock (at 7 a.m.). The ride takes around three hours and will drop you off at Gouqi Island, where you can get a local taxi to Houtouwan.
Overnight visitors can reserve their return tickets and taxi ride in advance through their hotels or bed-and-breakfasts.
