11.17 Dongshan Island Day Trip Experience

🚘Transportation ———————————————————— Xiamen🚄 Yunxiao Station (45min) Second class seat 55 RMB Rent a car in Yunxiao ➡️ Dongshan Island (35min) (You can also take a bus 🚌 20 RMB/person 60min after getting off the train) 🗺️Itinerary ———————————————————— 🚉: Stop 1️⃣ ➡️ Nanmen Bay (p1-p5) Due to weekdays, there were fewer people. Arrived at 11 o'clock during high tide, felt the surging waves on the beach 🏖️. The morning snack street was not open, the sun was very strong ☠️, make sure to apply sunscreen‼️ I suggest checking in at Left Ear from Dingjie Street, it's more convenient‼️ (I didn’t take photos or check in, not interested in Left Ear) ———————————————————— 🚉: Stop 2️⃣ ➡️ Dingjie Street (p6-p7) Had lunch at a time-honored clam pancake and duck noodle shop. (Suddenly decided to drag my brother to eat) After eating, went to Dingjie Street 🏠. Not many people, you might see elderly groups walking briskly 😬. The library café on the second floor at the entrance of Dingjie is great for photos 📷. The whole street has modern guesthouses and some old buildings, mainly featuring coffee shops + cultural and creative stores + guesthouses + restaurants 😍. ‼️Highly recommend here‼️ A check-in spot: Under the Tree Restaurant (p6-p7). The staff are very friendly, you’re welcome to take photos even if you don’t buy anything 🤳. I’ve been too lazy lately, my check-in photos are still being organized 📱. ———————————————————— 🚉: Stop 3️⃣ ➡️ Jinluan Bay (p8-p10) A very open coastal view! Many kids were surfing 🏄, so lively 🤩. Found some beautiful shells here 🐚. Blue sea and sky, washing away all worries 🌊. ———————————————————— 🚉: Stop 4️⃣ ➡️ Aojiao Village (p11-p15) I went to Aojiao Village to check in at the caves! The photos turned out stunning, here’s an unedited one in the comments first. I suggest arriving here at 5 PM to capture amazing sunset silhouette shots! 🌇 ‼️The sea breeze is very strong here 🌬️, dress warmly. Girls can bring a pair of sneakers or something similar. I wore platform slippers which were very inconvenient! The rocks 🪨 are slippery, be careful ⚠️. ｜Finally drove back to Yunxiao for hotpot, the coffee was bad｜ 🙏Thanks to my brother for his incredible patience. Praise 👍 his driving skills (could star in Fast & Furious).
