Hey guys 👋, is there a song that, like a sea breeze with a salty smell, blows you to the mysterious island world? When I heard "Zhoushan Islands, more than a thousand islands, scattered in the East China Sea, like pearls, shining brightly", the song "Zhoushan Islands" with simple but vivid lyrics, aroused my infinite imagination of Zhoushan, so in February, I set foot on this dreamy city of a thousand islands, come and see my guide! 🌆Impression of Zhoushan Zhoushan is like a dreamy garden on the sea, with scattered islands and vast blue sea complementing each other.
