Zhoushan is back, let me tell you my real feelings! Because of a song, I came to a city.

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. In February, the sea breeze in Zhoushan is a bit cool, but when the sun shines, it becomes warm. Putuo Mountain is full of incense, sacred and solemn; the sea water of Dongji Island is clear as a mirror, shining charmingly in the sun; Shenjiamen Fishing Port is full of sails, and the streets and alleys are filled with the fresh fragrance of seafood noodles and Shengsi mussels, where tradition and faith intertwine, and every corner exudes a unique charm that makes people yearn for it. 🚗Transportation Guide ✈️Plane: After arriving at Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport, you can take the airport bus to various directions in the city, or take a taxi to the pier, and transfer to the ferry to various islands to start your wonderful journey. 🚢City transportation: Most buses in Zhoushan Island can be paid by Alipay or WeChat ride code, which is convenient for travel. The main way to get to the islands is by boat, and the boat trips to different islands vary, so book your tickets in advance on the official WeChat account or at the ticket window. For popular islands such as Putuo Mountain and Dongji Island, tickets are in high demand during peak season, so be sure to plan ahead. 🗺Travel Route Day1: Zhujiajian - Nansha Scenic Area (watch sand sculptures, stroll on the beach) - Wugongzhi Pier - Putuo Mountain (Nanhai Guanyin Buddha, Puji Zen Temple, etc.) Day2: Dongji Island (Miaozihu Island - watch the sunrise, island tour, experience the island style; Qingbang Island - explore the "Potala Palace on the Sea") Day3: Shenjiamen Fishing Port - Seafood Market (buy specialties) - Return 🌟Must-see Attractions 1. Putuo Mountain: The "Sea and Sky Buddha Kingdom" lives up to its name, with ancient temples and Zen sounds on the island. In February, there are relatively few tourists, so you can feel the tranquility and sanctity more when you walk around. The compassionate face of the Nanhai Guanyin Buddha is awe-inspiring; when you enter the Puji Zen Temple, with its red walls and yellow tiles and ancient trees, you can feel the profoundness of Buddhist culture, as if you are walking into the sea of faith depicted in the "Zhoushan Islands". 2. Dongji Island: This is the easternmost island of the Chinese mainland, with beautiful sea views. The lighthouse on Miaozihu Island is the filming location of the movie "The Continent", which is literary and romantic; the stone houses on Qingbang Island are scattered, like the Potala Palace on the sea, and you can walk around the island, watch the tides rise and fall, and be intoxicated by the original ecological island scenery, feeling the unique charm of the island. 3. Zhujiajian Nansha Scenic Area: Although you can't play in the water in winter, the fine sand beach and spectacular sand sculptures are still worth seeing. Stroll along the beach, listen to the waves crashing on the shore, and enjoy the various sand sculptures, and start a visual feast. Practical Guide 🎫Tickets are required for Putuo Mountain, Zhujiajian Nansha Scenic Area and other attractions, which can be booked in advance on the official WeChat account or major travel platforms, often with discounts, and you can avoid queuing on site. Tickets for each island are sold separately, so book in advance, pay attention to the return ferry time, arrange your itinerary reasonably, and don't miss the ferry. 🕙Opening hours: Different for each attraction, generally open from 8-9 am, stop admission or ticket sales at 4-5 pm, be sure to check the official website before you go, arrange your itinerary reasonably, and don't run out of time. 🍱Food Recommendations 1. Seafood Noodles: A specialty of Zhoushan, made with fresh seafood, shrimp, crab, shellfish, etc. The soup is fresh and delicious, and the noodles are chewy. A bowl of it will make you feel happy and start a day full of energy. 2. Shengsi Mussels: The mussels in Zhoushan are big and meaty, and can be steamed, garlic, braised, etc. They are tender and fresh, and are a signature seafood of the area that you can't miss. 3. Zhoushan Hairtail: The meat is delicate and delicious, and can be steamed simply to show its deliciousness to the fullest, so you can taste the authentic sea flavor. 4. Seafood Fried Rice Noodles: The rice noodles absorb the seafood soup, becoming smooth and tasty, and with a variety of side dishes, it is a popular street snack that you will love after one bite. 🏨Hotel Accommodation 1. Putuo District Hotel: We recommend Zhoushan Hilton Hotel in Putuo District, Zhoushan, which is conveniently located near Wugongzhi Pier, Zhujiajian Scenic Area, etc. Some rooms have sea views, and the surrounding area is well-equipped. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the service is first-class, and it is convenient to travel to the city attractions quickly. 2. Dongji Island B&B: Dongji Island's Shimatou Inn is cost-effective, close to the sea, and you can quickly return to your room to rest after a day of play. The B&B has a unique style and complete facilities, and you can also enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset of the island, feeling the leisurely vacation time. 3. Shenjiamen Hotel: If you stay in Shenjiamen, Shenjiamen's Haizhongzhou International Hotel has a beautiful environment, close to the fishing port and seafood market, and some rooms have a view of the fishing port at night. The hotel is well-equipped and offers a warm accommodation experience. 💡Tips 1. The wind is strong at sea in February, so keep warm when taking a boat, and bring seasickness medicine to prevent seasickness. 2. When tasting Zhoushan seafood, the taste is mainly fresh, so if you are not used to seafood, you can communicate with the waiter in advance to adjust it to make sure you enjoy it. 3. The island's ecology is fragile, so take care of the environment when you play, don't litter, and travel in a civilized manner. Guys, Zhoushan, which came because of the "Zhoushan Islands", is full of charm, so hurry up and start this island trip 💖!
