Hello,

We're going to Ninbo by train, I need help from here. I wish to visit one of the Islands, either Putuoshan, Zhujiajian or Zhoushan. Putuoshan was my first choice because I want to do some hiking and swimming, but if we have to pay a fee to enter the island, than another fee for the beach, it seem like there are too many fees! And I've had my share of nice buddhist temples so far in China.

- Any interesting nearby islands (easy access from Ninbo) that we can visit for two days which don't cost too much and have nice beaches?
- Also looking for inexpensive hotel info on the islands.
- can you provide web links with ferry info. I want to know where the ferries go from Ningbo and for how much. It's hard to find this information.

Many thanks.
