Back from Zhoushan, really don't recommend going in July-August because it's just too~

Hey guys!! Just returned sun-tanned from Zhoushan~ Many say July-August is the time to visit Zhoushan for the sea, but I genuinely think May is the hidden gem!! 🌞 Fewer crowds, stunning scenery, plump seafood, and waters so blue they look filtered—here's my personal guide for you~ 📍 Why is Zhoushan in May so amazing? • Putuo Mountain (pure scenery!): The island in May is lush with greenery🌿! Stroll along the coastline, watch waves crash against the rocks, and spot distant fishing boats—no crowds, just peaceful sunrise and sunset views~ • Dongji Island: The filming location of *The Continent* is truly beautiful! May isn't peak season yet, so you can have the whole blue sea to yourself, sit on the rocks listening to the waves, and gaze at star-filled skies at night✨ • Gouqi Island: The combo of blue sea and green beaches is unreal! Rent an e-bike to circle the island🛵, stop to snap photos at colorful fishing villages—it's like stepping into a fairy tale~ • Nansha Beach, Zhujiajian: The sand is as soft as cotton! With minimal crowds in May, you can run freely on the beach, collect shells, and build sandcastles—reliving childhood joy🏖️ 🦞 Feast on seafood in May 🦀 Swimming crab: Just plump enough for steaming—crack it open to find rich roe, so fresh it'll blow your mind! 🦐 Mantis shrimp: Crispy outside, tender inside, with bouncy meat—pair it with seafood congee for perfection~ 🐟 Yellow croaker: Fried to finger-licking goodness, even the bones are crunchy and edible! 🍢 Seafood BBQ: Hit the night stalls for grilled squid and oysters—so relaxing with the sea breeze~ 🚗 Travel tips for May ✔️ Ferry tickets: Book early! Weekends can still get busy—choose a sunny day for double the beauty~ ✔️ Outfits: Light jacket + shorts! Hot at noon, breezy in the morning/evening—light colors photograph best~ ✔️ Sun protection: Strong UV by the sea! Full gear: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, or you'll turn into charcoal🧴 ✔️ Stay: Ocean-view rooms! Wake up to sunrise, fall asleep to waves—pure bliss~ Guys! Skip the July-August crowds~ May's Zhoushan is like a sapphire—waters clear enough to see fish, seafood dripping with richness, even the air tastes salty. Sitting by the sea feasting on seafood, watching boats come and go—who else gets this slow life? Grab this guide and head to Zhoushan for that blue sea hug~ 💕
