Dongshan Island Notes | 3 days and 2 nights, 750 yuan per person, riding and encountering the same model as Zuo Er || Day 1: Cycling in Nanmen Bay, lighthouse and fishing port sunset 🚄 Transportation: Take the high-speed rail from Xiamen North Station to Yunxiao Station (45 yuan, 1 hour), get off the station and share a car to Tongling Town (30 yuan/person), and rent an electric car (60 yuan/day) to start your island tour. 🌊 Main gameplay: 1. Nanmen Bay: The rooftop of Zuoer overlooks the crescent-shaped bay, with colorful houses scattered along the seashore. When the tide is out, the stone piers are exposed on the beach. Riding through the bay feels like being in the Cinque Terre in Italy. 2. Wengong Temple: Go up to the free observation deck to take panoramic photos of the bay and Tongling Town, and drink a cup of traditional four-fruit soup (6 yuan/bowl) under the old tree on the rooftop. 3. Jinluan Bay: Arrive at the mirror-like beach before sunset, step on the water barefoot to catch the reflection of the sky, and buy fresh squid for 10 yuan per 3 kilograms when the fishermen collect their nets. 🍜 Food: For lunch, enjoy "Shao Jin Ling" (grilled meat wrapped in pancakes, 12 yuan/portion) at the Nanmen Bay food stall; for dinner, go to Tongling Night Market to taste "Xiao Mi" (steamed sea fish dumplings, 8 yuan/tray), with angelica duck soup to warm the stomach. 🏠 Accommodation: Choose Nanmen Bay Sea View B&B (100 yuan per person per night) and fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves at night. Day 2: Sufeng Mountain Island, Rock Cliffs and Double-Sided Sea Wonders 🛵 Island Route: 1. Sufengshan Ring Road: Cycle along the blue internet-famous bridge, with a gray-white rock cliff on one side and a glass sea on the other. You can take pictures of the cliff silhouette in the cave halfway up the mountain (wear bright-colored clothes for better photos). 2. Yanya Village: Visit the abandoned fishing village, crawl into the cracks between the boulders to find the "Yanya Lovers" reef shooting location, and stand on the rock when the tide recedes to be in the same frame with the lighthouse. 3. South Island Two-Sided Sea: Check the tide table! You can walk to the Green Lighthouse (the filming location of "Your Wedding") only during low tide for 3 hours a day. Bring slippers to prevent slipping. 📸 Hidden gameplay: Arrive at Jinluan Bay at 5am to wait for the sunrise, and the mirror-like beach reflects the brilliant rays of light. Experience sailing at the Maluan Bay Sailing Base for 50 yuan per person, and try to steer the boat accompanied by a coach. 🍲 Food: For lunch, enjoy "Mao Zai Congee" (seafood rice, 20 yuan/bowl) at the Farmhouse on Huandao Road; for dinner, go to Xipu Market to buy freshly caught small squid (15 yuan/catty), and look for a restaurant to blanch it (processing fee 10 yuan). Day 3: Aojiao Secret Land, Shipwreck Bay and White Castle 🚤 Deeper exploration: 1. Aojiao Village: Drive or charter a car (40 yuan per person), climb the white lighthouse and look out over the Shipwreck Bay. The rusty shipwreck and the emerald sea collide to create a sense of apocalypse. 2. Fishbone Sandbar: Take a speedboat (50 yuan/person) to the fishbone-shaped sandbar that is revealed at low tide. The aerial view is the best. It is recommended to arrive before 9 am to avoid the crowds. 3. Dingjie Ancient Alley: Return to Tongling Town to explore the 600-year-old ancient street, drink hand-brewed coffee (25 yuan/cup) in the "Old Bookstore", and buy out-of-print Minnan dialect vinyl records. 🎁 Souvenirs: Buy fresh seaweed (NT$20/pack) and Dongshan asparagus tea (NT$15/can) at the market, or order a Nanmen Bay postcard (NT$5/card) and send it from the post office. Cost list (750 yuan per person) ✅ Transportation: High-speed rail + carpooling 150 yuan + electric car 120 yuan + speedboat 50 yuan = 320 yuan [Awesome][Awesome][Awesome]
