So Shengshan Island, connected to Gouqi by bridge, would be the last place we would visit during the trip, the main attraction being Houtou Bay Uninhabited Village.

This village, in the island's northeast, has been called a Chinese version of the Wizard of Oz, and in the 1970s and '80s more than 1,000 people lived there. However, with the pressure of economic change, they all left, and photos of this former fishing village being swallowed up by the lush creeping plant mountain tigers were seen by many on the internet. This Wizard of Oz, as if abandoned by the world, is like a fairyland wrapped in a fairytale. It is no exaggeration to say it is the most beautiful uninhabited village I have seen in China, and now it has become a popular spot for internet celebrities.
