A bus and ferry ride away from Shanghai is the scared island of Putoushan, like Wutai Shan its one of the 4 sacred mountains of Buddhism in China. It also has to be the quietest place in China. We were one of only a few guests in our hotel which could accommodate hundreds, the slow trade didn't seem to have afforded them the time to clean the carpets.
A few minutes walk from our hotel was 1000 step beach, this really didn't feel like China at all apart from people asking to have their picture taken with Blondie. They did of course ask for a photo with "the gentleman" afterwards. I guess having a birds nest of brown hair isn't that unique in China.
