As the weather becomes hotter, people seek refuge from the heat to hang
out near cool waters. Going to the beach would be a good choice as it is
comfortable to stand on the soft sand and enjoy the sea breeze. But
living in big cities, it is difficult to find beautiful sand beaches
nearby. Now Citylife will help you locate some wonderful areas you can
escape to.

Shanghai

Jinshan City Beach

Boasting good beach volleyball stadium, the sand here is very soft and
the annual Jinshan Beach Volleyball March is now on. Visitors can not
only enjoy the beautiful and comfortable environment but also a brilliant
game of spikes and volleys.

It's also a great opportunity to fly a kite on the beach. The sea breeze
will make both your kite and your heart fly high.

Tips:

1) The beach becomes very busy at dusk. If you want to meet more friends,
come at this time.

2) There is a long corridor on the beach where people can rest in a shady
and cool environment.

3) How to get there: From Shenzhuang to Shenfengjin Expressway. Then take
the "Tingweigong" exit and turn left. Take the Jinshan Avenue and then go
to Weiling Road.

Songjiangyueyuanyuan Summer Bank

Songjiangyueyuanyuan Bank is a park full of sculptures. But in the
summer, what is more attractive is the sand beach at the Summer Bank.
Here, people can play in the sand and water and the hot weather instantly
turns to be cool!

Tips:

1) It is a good place to go with children, as there are many fun things
for them to try, like the "Bouncing bed" and "Children's paddling pool".

2) How to get there: Take Yan'an Elevated Road to get to A9 Expressway.
Then get off at Sheshan Exit toJiasong Middle Road, to get to Linyin
