Fujian's Own Little Kenting, as Artistic as Santorini on the East China Sea

🏝Destination Recommendation: Dongshan Island is located on the southeastern coast of Fujian, an isolated island that's popular with artistic films 🎬. Movies like "The Left Ear" and "Your Wedding" were filmed here, earning it the nickname "Fujian's Little Kenting." If you want to avoid crowded destinations during the May Day holiday, you can try this place. While countless people travel to Italy just to glimpse seaside towns, the people of Zhangzhou love visiting Dongshan Island. 🚗Transportation Guide: 🚅Take the high-speed train to Yunxiao Station, then take 🚌Bus No. 15 to Tongling Town, fare is 10 yuan. 🚕Driving: About two hours from Zhangzhou (on non-holidays). The advantage of driving is that you can stop and take photos anywhere along the Sufeng Mountain Ring Road. 🛏Hotel Information: There are many guesthouses on the island, but ocean-view rooms should be booked 1 month in advance during peak season. Now there's also a five-star hotel on the island - Yuehua Hotel. 🌟Must-visit Spots: 🌊Nanmen Bay: This has been a secret favorite for many sea lovers. It's the most artistic place on Dongshan Island, with half sea and half colorful houses scattered around. From a distance, it looks just like Santorini on the Aegean Sea. Ride along the Nanmen Bay coast enjoying the sea breeze, and when night falls and the lights come on, all that remains is romance. 🏖Fish Bone Sandbar: Dongshan Island doesn't just have artistic seas, but also world-class scenery. At Fish Bone Sandbar, you'll find Maldives-style views. This mysterious place only appears during low tide as a fish bone-shaped beach in the middle of the sea. From a distance, it looks like a huge whale surfacing, with its long tail still in the water. Interestingly, the direction of the "fish tail" changes with the tides and monsoon winds. 🛤Sufeng Mountain Ring Road: With mountains on one side and sea on the other, Sufeng Mountain Ring Road is known as the "most beautiful coastal racing track" and is an unmissable destination on Dongshan Island. 🛍Shopping Guide: Visit Tongling Fisherman's Wharf between 4 - 6 AM to buy freshly landed seafood directly from fishermen. Prices are 20% - 30% cheaper than the market, and you can even bargain㊙️. 📌Small Tips: It's recommended to drive yourself or rent an electric scooter on the island (about 80 yuan on non-holidays).
