Sunny Beach

Sunny Beach

Location: Waima Road, close to Maojiayuan RoadEntrance Fee: 20 yuan

Right in the heart of the Bund, Shanghai’s colonial-era district, lies a modest, but sufficient stretch of sand for residents and visitors of the city. With its unique view of the Huangpu River, as well as the Pudong skyline, Sunny Beach is the perfect warm weekend getaway. Swimming isn’t allowed here, but sunbathing, beach activities and chair and umbrella rentals make this city getaway a perfect spot for family picnics and riverfront parties.

 

Jinshan Beach

Jinshan Beach

Location: Take the bus from Jinjiang Park in Shanghai to Jinshan, which is about an hour ride. From there, walk 20 minutes to the beach following the many signs leading the way.Entrance Fee: Free between Oct – Jun, 30 yuan weekdays and 50 yuan weekends July – September.

Only an hour away from Shanghai’s downtown area, Jinshan Beach is a sandy stretch of ocean water perfect for a day or weekend retreat. Imported powdery white sand from the Hainan Province makes the strand glisten in the hot summer months. Unlike other bodies of water in the area, the ocean water here is surprisingly blue and clean and open for swimming. Sand volleyball, Frisbee and activities for children of all ages are popular on the beach’s west end.

Fengxian Beach

Fengxian Beach

Location: Buses from Shanghai South Railway Station to Nanqiao are available, as well as public buses from Jingjiang ParkEntrance Fee: 50 yuan on weekdays, 80 yuan on weekends.

Another beach within an hour of Shanghai’s city center is Fengxian Beach. Soft, golden sand, fresh air and multiple recreational activities make for an excellent escape from the often smoggy city. Fengxian Beach is just the beginnings of a project titled “Haiwan Tourism Zone”, an effort to bring more tourists to this beautiful suburban area. The beach offers more than just sand-filled activities. A rock climbing wall, canoe rentals, mini amusement park and even a 4-D movie theater are all within the beach’s vicinity.

 

Songlanshan Beach

Songlanshan Beach

Location: Buses run from the Shanghai Bus Station to Ningbo Bus Station. Then catch a quick bus from Ningbo South Bus Station to Xiangshan County. And once more from Dancheng to Songlan Mountain. Total trip can take up to 5 hours.Entrance Fee: 10 yuan

A bit further out than other beaches listed, Songlanshan’s beauty is worth every minute of the journey. Located near Ningbo, it is one of the biggest beaches in the area. Along its 25 square kilometer expanse, the park encompasses caves for exploring, protected reefs for diving and, of course, smooth and soft sand, perfect for a stroll along the water. Recreational fishing is allowed here, and rental tents for gear dot the beach. This area is quieter than other areas and makes for a relaxing escape from the stresses of the big city.

Putuoshan Beach

Putuoshan Beach

Location: From Shanghai Harbor, take a bus to the beach (2 hours). Or buses from the Shanghai Bus Station to Luchao are available. From there, transfer to ferry heading to Putuoshan Beach (4+ hours total).Entrance Fee: Free

Putuoshan Beach, like Songlanshan, is a bit further out of the city and perfect for a long weekend holiday. Serene, secluded and by far the least crowded out of these 5 beaches, Putuoshan is the ideal place to unwind. The famous 100 Steps Beach and 1,000 Steps Beach are worth the decent from the hills surrounding the area. In addition to the peaceful strand, various temples were built along the shoreline. The Puji Temple and the Fayuchan Temple can be reached from the beach area by a number of stairs. From here, the entire view of the bay is breathtaking!

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
