A truly beautiful blue fairy tale — Zhoushan Blue Tears

Who understands! The moment I saw Zhoushan Blue Tears with my own eyes, I immediately put "Life is worth it" on my lips! The waves roll in with diamond-like blue light onto the shore, and when you step on it, "fluorescent flowers" bloom. It's even more exciting than watching shooting stars—this is the romantic knockout punch of the sea! 🌍 Quick Address Overview Zhoushan's "blue fairy tale" is hidden across multiple islands and bays, with the core Blue Tears viewing areas concentrated in Zhujiajian, Dongji Island, and Huaniao Island. Their "working hours" are from May to September, with an 80% peak occurrence rate from June to August. Missing it means waiting a whole year. Escape the city's hustle and bustle to these islands; a combination of car and boat rides will unlock this glowing secret realm. ✈️ Transportation Guide - Major transport: Fly to Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport, or fly to Ningbo and then drive 1.5 hours to Zhujiajian Wugongzhi Pier, which serves as the island transfer hub. - Island access: Book boat tickets early via the "Zhoushan Haixing Ferry" WeChat public account! It takes 2 hours from Zhujiajian to Dongji Island, and to reach Huaniao Island you must first transfer at Shengsi Pier. During peak season, tickets sell out quickly if you don’t book early. - On-island transport: Renting an electric scooter is the best choice, 50 RMB/day for unlimited roaming. Riding along the coastal roads of Zhujiajian and Huaniao Island is super pleasant and 100 times more flexible than taking taxis. ✨ Location Introductions [One] Zhujiajian · Wushitang: A beginner-friendly "Blue Tears entry-level" spot! The free black pebble beach has a great atmosphere, and the blue light is more visible when waves hit the stones. Stay after 8 PM for a high success rate without the crowds. [Two] Zhujiajian · Zhangzhou Bay: The 30 RMB ticket is worth it! Fewer people and pure scenery, the black reefs paired with Blue Tears look like a sci-fi blockbuster. Go one hour before the early morning high tide to witness the stunning scene of blue light spreading along the wave patterns. [Three] Dongji Island · Miaozihu: The fishing boat lights and Blue Tears together are amazing! Rent a small boat to go out to sea (negotiate the price in advance). The blue light trail stirred up by the boat’s wake looks like painting the Milky Way. On the way back, you can also visit the "Potala Palace on the Sea." [Four] Huaniao Island · Foshoushi: A must for drone enthusiasts! Avoid crowds after 2 AM, stand on the reefs to shoot, and the Blue Tears against the starry sky look like an inverted Milky Way. The flat beach at Nanwan is perfect for stepping on the "fluorescent waves" up close. 🍤 Food Recommendations - Gaojiazhuang Seafood: Freshly caught king crab with sweet meat, about 150 RMB per person for seafood freedom, also popular with locals. - Afen Noodle House: A hidden treasure in a tin shed, their seafood noodles with snail broth are limited to 20 bowls daily, so fresh you'll want to lick the bowl clean. - Old Tang Midnight Canteen: The top choice for late-night snacks after chasing Blue Tears. Grilled yellow croaker with rice cake and sea salt hairtail bone marrow—carbs and seafood happiness overload. - Blue Tears Cultural Ice Cream: A must-buy before leaving the island, rich milky flavor, perfect for photo ops and check-ins. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations - Zhujiajian: Cliffside Shanhai Residence, 300 RMB/night for a sea view room, a 5-minute walk to the beach, with a pool that’s perfect for photos. - Dongji Island: Dongji Summer Beach Hotel, a stone house converted guesthouse with a stargazing terrace, great for chatting about Blue Tears chasing strategies at night. - Huaniao Island: Sea Bloom Guesthouse, with a glowing pool that’s very photogenic. Mention the secret code to borrow Blue Tears chasing gear. ⚠️ Important Tips 1. Avoid pitfalls: Don’t trust "100% guaranteed" claims. Check local Blue Tears live streams for real-time locations, and avoid full moon nights and typhoon days. 2. Essential gear: Red light flashlight (white light scares away Blue Tears), waterproof bucket (scooping water makes the blue light brighter), non-slip studded shoes (reefs are very slippery). 3. Safety first: Always go in groups at night, be cautious on slippery Wushitang, don’t touch the seawater directly as some people may be allergic. 4. Environmental reminder: Use coral-friendly sunscreen, take your trash with you, don’t let Blue Tears disappear due to pollution. Who can resist the sea’s "blue love letter"? Prepare your plan and head to Zhoushan—you might just encounter this natural miracle. Hurry and grab your travel buddy to rush there~
