Nanji Island light chasing map! Romance of Mountains and Seas

🌿【12h walking itinerary】 5:00 Sunrise at Sanpanwei Meadow→8:30 Dasha’ao Shell Beach→12:00 Seafood food stalls→14:00 Mazu’ao Flower Sea→16:00 Cycling on Rainbow Highway→18:00 Sunset at Command Village 🌱First stop: catch the first ray of light on the top of the outlying island. At four in the morning, I rushed to Sanpanwei with the ginger sugar water given by the aunt of the homestay, and the sea breeze with a salty smell hit my face. When the morning mist was suddenly torn apart by the golden light, the entire sea meadow suddenly came alive - the reefs covered with reeds turned into a galloping unicorn, and the spots of light leaping on the waves looked like flickering scales. Even more shocking is the "Chaoyin Cave" revealed after the tide receded. If you put your ear against the rock wall, you can actually hear the ancient echo similar to that of chimes! 📸Photography tips: Set up the plane 30 minutes before sunrise (navigate to the "Natural Mural" viewing platform) Wear a white dress and run against the light (the meadow will be gilded) Capturing the “Three Color Scales of Sea, Sky and Grassland” with a Wide-Angle Lens 🏖️Second stop: Step into the singing beach. The shell sand of Dashaao sparkles like broken diamonds in the sun, and makes a crisp "crunching" sound when you step on it barefoot. I squatted down to take a closer look and saw pink coral fragments and blue sea glass mixed in the sand. The local children taught me how to identify them: "The round ones are scallops, and the jagged ones are mussels." In the sudden waves, a transparent little shrimp actually jumped onto the back of my feet! 🐚Must-do activities: ▫️Catching the sea at low tide (you can dig for conches in the reef area) ▫️Beach motorcycle (racing along the coastal cliffs is super exciting) ▫️Shell DIY (free glue is available at the visitor center) 🌸Third stop: Break into Monet's garden, pass through the military tunnel, and unexpectedly crash into the world of oil paintings! On the slopes of Mazuao, pink muhly grass and cosmos flowers are interwoven into the shape of waves, and the colorful fishing nets mended by fishermen among the flower fields become an excellent foreground. The most interesting thing is the twelve zodiac stone pillars hidden among the flowers. When you find the "Dragon Raising its Head" position, a helicopter happens to fly by and act as the "Dragon Ball". 🚲The fourth stop: Ride to the end of the rainbow. Rent a mint green bicycle and rush to the coastal road. The seven consecutive bends are painted in different colors. Stop at the "Tiffany Blue" section and look out. Bamboo Island on the opposite bank looks like a matcha cake floating on the sea. You will encounter a lot of colorful eggs along the way: a coral stone wall with a whale painted on it, a coffee station converted from an abandoned lighthouse, a drifting bottle mailbox hanging on an acacia tree... 🌄Ultimate romance: Watch the sunset melt into the cape. The Command Village is filled with the aroma of cooking smoke in the evening. Sit on the aerial root swing of the century-old banyan tree and watch the sunset soak the entire island into the orange sea. When the searchlight of the fishing boat suddenly lit up, a road of broken diamonds instantly appeared on the sea surface - this was much more realistic than the fluorescent sea in "Life of Pi"! 🦞【Seafood Radar】 ▶️Tiger fish soup (Stall No. 13, Dasha'ao) ▶️Spicy fried barnacles (Grandma's stove in Command Village) ▶️Steamed egg with anemone (reservation required 2 hours in advance) 🏡Accommodation Guide: ▪️Lost Houlong (Cave Hotel/Cliff Infinity Pool) ▪️Blue Acacia Resort (Rainbow Highway is just outside the window) ▪️Fisherman's Boat Charter for Overnight Stay (Experience the Sound of Rowing to Fall Asleep) 📌In-depth gameplay: Participate in marine ranching research (fishing for kelp/feeding large yellow croaker) Book a starry sky photographer (the Milky Way arch is stunning in summer) Collect intertidal bio-stamps (get a brochure from the visitor center) ⚠️Avoidance Tips: ❗Get your tickets for the island ferry at "Nanji Bus" 3 days in advance ❗Drones are prohibited in the meadow area (military control) ❗Prepare anti-snake socks from May to September (there are pit vipers in the grass) When I opened the stamped book on the ferry leaving the island, the three-tailed reed specimens suddenly fell down - it turned out that the sea breeze had quietly slipped this appointment between mountains and sea into the pages of time.
