The sand sculptures in 2025 will be developed around the two main themes of "world classics" and "popular culture". The geometric shape layout will form the outline of a giant "guitar" instrument from a bird's-eye view, and combined with the sand sculpture light show, a fantasy music space that links day and night will be constructed. 
More than 30 top sand sculpture artists from all over the country gathered on the coast of the East China Sea, with the theme of "Music Nansha", to start a 25-day art sculpture project. This year's Sand Sculpture Festival will create an "audible, playable, and tangible" sand sculpture art complex through more than 50 groups of music-themed works, immersive interactive scenes and multicultural activities.

I booked two middle cabin packages with sachets on Ctrip. When I picked up the tickets, I was given one middle cabin and one upper cabin. I had to sit separately. The upper cabin ticket I took was more expensive than the middle cabin, but the seats were indeed green trains. The middle cabin sleeper and middle cabin seat tickets are the same, and the middle cabin seats are high-speed rail seats. The cruise company has a special ticket sales app, which is available on WeChat. You can buy economical and affordable tickets for consecutive seats a week in advance. The middle cabin can save 70 yuan per ticket. I bought two sachets for 140 yuan. Does anyone need them? 9.9 free shipping.

I decided to bring my children here when I got off Putuo and there was still some time before my flight. The half-price discount was very cost-effective. The venue is not big but the movement line is very reasonable. I played in it for an entire afternoon and the children were reluctant to leave until it closed. It was great.

Gouqi Island is perfect for exploring, so don&#39;t rush. Since there aren&#39;t many attractions, two days is enough. I personally recommend taking a helicopter from Putuo, arriving before 10:00 AM. Gouqi Island has two main areas: one on the Gouqi side and the other on the Shengshan side. The helicopter will depart from Gouqi, and you can stay at either Dawang or Miaogan. Then, visit the Dongya Cliff on the Shengshan side (I didn&#39;t watch the sunrise). On the way back, take photos of the colorful houses near the tunnel. After passing through the tunnel, you&#39;ll reach the center of Shengshan Town and have a quick lunch. Then, take a taxi to the deserted village to explore the small fields. At the end, there&#39;s a pier. Don&#39;t backtrack and take a boat back to Shengshan Town. Then, take a direct bus back to Miaogan. In the evening, go sea fishing at the beach. The next morning, take your time and stroll through the wonders of the mountains and sea. Spend the afternoon on the beach and enjoy a sea bath. In the evening, head to Ganxie Pier to admire the 10,000-acre sea ranch. Have a cup of coffee at the Sunset Caf&eacute; and wait for the sunset. On the third morning, wake up and take a direct helicopter back to Putuo.
