Tucked away just an hour from Shanghai’s bustling city center, Sun Island Resort is a 2,500-acre oasis where time slows down, and nature takes center stage. Imagine waking up to birdsong, stepping onto your private villa’s terrace to misty river views, and spending your days flipping between sandy beaches, forest hot springs, and adorable animal encounters. This is the place to unplug, recharge, and rediscover the joy of simple, wild-living pleasures.

Play: Four Seasons of Adventure

This island is basically Mother Nature’s playground, with something wild to do year-round:

• Summer: Dive into the 18,000㎡ beach wave pool—complete with rainbow waterslides, artificial waves, and forest-cooled springs for a “tropical vacay” vibe.
• Winter: Soak in the open-air hot springs, surrounded by steam and snow-dusted trees (yes, it’s as magical as it sounds).
• Spring/Fall: Go glamping under the stars, race go-karts, or meet alpacas/raccoons at the Mini Farm (trust us, the pig races are unmissable).
