The suddenly popular Rainbow Island is worth a leisurely visit

During the holiday, I took a road trip with friends to this colorful little island, which is actually a small fishing village in Shitang Town, Taizhou. Due to traffic restrictions during the holidays, personal vehicles are not allowed to enter, and you have to go to a designated location to transfer to a shuttle bus to reach the island.🏝️ The moment you enter the island, the reality version of the online pictures hits you in the face. All the little houses on the island are painted in vibrant colors, and they are really beautiful and photogenic. As soon as you get off the bus, the smell of the ocean is really strong. Luckily, as Ningbo locals who often eat seafood, we got used to the smell after a while.🦀 The island is not very big, and you can basically tour it in one day. The houses are built along the hillside with stone steps, and it can be a bit tiring to walk continuously. However, there are many cafes on the island. The one we went to is at the highest point of the island, and everything from the environment to the decor is top-notch, with decent service. But you have to buy a ticket to enter their cafe, which can be exchanged for coffee, drinks, or food. This is probably to prevent people from just coming in to take photos without making a purchase, which could lead to overcrowding.☕️ There are also many snack stalls on the island. The fried shrimp cakes are really delicious, and we also bought some dried fish and seafood to take home, which were reasonably priced and tasty.🐟 While my friend was taking photos, I was enjoying the sea breeze and nibbling on a popsicle by myself, feeling a sense of happiness growing wildly.
