#小岛 Dongshan Island is a romantic island that makes people forget their worries, a romantic island that makes people fall in love with the sky blue, and the most literary island. It is also the filming location of the movie "Left Ear" and "Your Wedding". And the prices are really convenient. To travel around the island, you must rent an electric car. It costs about $40 a day, depending on the horsepower of the car you rent. The main attractions on the island include the lighthouse, Fishbone Sandbank, Tianya Haijiao, and Bay Beach. Just walk there and take photos. Every place is very photogenic. It’s best to bring your drone when taking pictures of Fishbone Sandbank, otherwise you won’t know what you are taking. This is a place where aerial photography is a must. 📍Address: Dongshan County, Zhangzhou City, China

This place is a filming location for many movies, and you can also feel the rustic charm of the fishing village. - Take a walk along the beach in the evening and enjoy the stunning sunset.

In the springtime on Dongshan Island, there is a unique beauty, especially during the sunrise and sunset, unveiling a chapter of travel that you can't afford to miss. Although Dongshan Island in Zhangzhou is small, its charm is infinite, especially these spots that I have carefully selected, each one deserves to be experienced wholeheartedly. 🛣️Route suggestion: From the dawn at Jinluan Bay to the lighthouse at Shuangmianhai, then to the Chenghuang Temple at Nanwangtiantai, and finally chasing the afterglow of the sunset at the Xiakeng Seafood Pier. 🌅Sunrise at Jinluan Bay: This place is like Fujian's mini Chaka Salt Lake, known as the most beautiful sunrise viewing spot. In the early morning, as the tide recedes, the beach forms a mirror reflecting the dazzling sunlight, like nature's mirror, a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Remember to check the sunrise time in advance and arrive early to avoid missing this magnificent spectacle. ⚠️Tips: The early spring mornings are cold, so it is recommended to stay in a homestay near Jinluan Bay for convenience in watching the sunrise. The homestay we stayed at was very cozy and reasonably priced. After leaving, a short walk or bike ride will take you there. 🏖️Shuangmianhai Lighthouse: The beach here forms a path to the small island when the tide is out, not only a filming location for the movie 'The Left Ear' but also a place where tourists leave beautiful memories. 🌄Nanwangtiantai and Chenghuang Temple: These two spots are adjacent to each other. Standing on the Tiantai, you can drink a cool beverage and enjoy the panoramic beauty of Dongshan Island. Descending to the Chenghuang Temple, you can experience more local color. 🌅Sunset at Xiakeng Seafood Pier: Recommended by the local tavern owner, the sunset view here is stunningly beautiful and complements the seafood. Although it is far from other attractions, driving or taking a ride there is the perfect way to end the day. In the spring of Dongshan Island, there is less hustle and bustle of crowds, more tranquility and beauty, and a small electric scooter can take you around the entire island, leaving behind unforgettable memories and beautiful picture

At five in the morning at the beach, listening to the sound of the waves and waiting for an uncertain sunrise at the beach🌅 Drive an electric car around the island 🛵You can stop at any time to enjoy the scenery you like Sitting on the beach of Nanmen Bay, looking at the blue sea, blowing the comfortable sea breeze, I embrace the sea at this moment, quietly feeling the comfort of the island

1. Take bus route 15 on the right side of the exit of Gaotie Yunxiao Station to Tongling Town, with a ticket price of 10 yuan and a travel time of about 45 minutes. 2. Aojiao Village is worth visiting, but the journey is about 28 kilometers and the condition of the national road is complicated, so cycling is not recommended. It is suggested to drive or take a taxi. Go further and climb up the mountain. 3. Su Fengshan's cycling is very beautiful.

#Mainland China Attractions Dongshan Island, also known as Ling Island, is shaped like a butterfly and is also called Butterfly Island. It is located in Dongshan County, Zhangzhou City, on the southern coast of Fujian Province, China. It is the second largest island in Fujian Province. Dongshan Island has now gradually developed into a tourist destination in Fujian Province. The island includes scenic spots such as Tongshan Ancient City, Fengdong Stone, Maluan Bay, and Yingzui Rock. It has also been the site of film and television entertainment works such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Journey to the West", and "Left Ear", and its popularity has gradually increased. But the island still retains the flavor of a small fishing village. It is very comfortable to stroll along the beach, eat seafood, enjoy the scenery, and feel the sea breeze. In terms of transportation. It is recommended to take the high-speed rail to Yunxiao Station, and then you can call a taxi or take a bus to Dongshan Island. Because the island is large, there are many homestays and hotels. It is best to stay overnight and take a leisurely tour.

Getting There - Dongshan Island is a natural wonderland located in the Sortheast of Fujian Province. Hop on a train going to Yunxiao train station and from there there are buses running frequently taking you to the island (around 30 mins’ ride). Highlight - The island isn’t very big but it takes a bit time to see everything. During the stay we rented motorbikes from the side of street (very easy and convenient) at a very reasonable price. With a motorbike it’s so easy to get around and explore the island wherever you like. I particularly enjoyed visiting Sufeng Mountain and having a swim at Maluan Bay and Jiluan Bay. Locals all go to those beach to relax and enjoy the water and abundant sunshine. This island is charming in ways that I can’t put into words. I would highly recommend anyone who is into a relaxing (or even a wild) vacation to go and check it out! #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #tigeryear2022 #staycation #beachlife #summervacation #naturalwonders #beaches

Dongshan Island is really beautiful, the Chinese version of "Italian Cinque Terre"🏝 But after seeing many friends come here to play, they said it's not fun ⚠The following points can help you avoid pitfalls❗ - 🎈About transportation 🚄: Arrive at "Yunxiao Station" from all over the country (if there is no Yunxiao Station, you need to transfer at Zhangzhou/Xiamen and other stations) 1⃣: There are two ways to get to Dongshan Island after exiting the station ✅Take a taxi 🚗, 🎫100r, 30 minutes (you can find someone to share the car, the fare is cheaper) ✅Bus No. 15 (turn right after exiting the station), 🎫10r (children under 1.4 meters are half price), arrive in about 1 hour - 2⃣On the island: ✅Dongshan Island is not big, and the attractions are relatively close.

There are food stalls. Otherwise, you can live in a villa and drive to the market to buy seafood and cook it yourself. - 2⃣Tongling Town: 👍There are many things to eat, takeaway is also convenient, and it is close to Nanmen Bay 👎A bit noisy, be cautious if you like quiet, the Internet celebrity homestay is not cheap for holidays - 3⃣ Notes: ⚠The sanitary conditions of the accommodation may not be very good, it is recommended to bring your own disposable items ⚠ Bring a hair dryer, unless it is a newer sea view suite, a hair dryer is more useful ⚠A local friend told me that the experience is better if you live in a villa that has been renovated in the last two years - 🏝Attractions 1⃣Nanmen Bay 📍Nanmen Bay Scenic Area Ground Parking Lot ✅It is recommended to go after 16:00 in summer, it is not hot, watch the sunset in the evening, and watch the bustling town at night, it is quite beautiful - 2⃣Left Ear Terrace 📍Chen Ji Meatballs, next to the internet celebrity check-in wall, just follow the sign and go up along the check-in wall ✅In fact, I don't recommend you to go there.

It is like a bright pearl hidden on the coast, fulfilling all my fantasies about vacation. Arriving at the villa, I was greeted by well-arranged buildings, which exuded a unique charm against the backdrop of the blue sea, sky, and lush greenery. As night fell and the lights came on, the villa was shrouded in dreamy colors. The swimming pool sparkled, and the surrounding palm trees swayed, creating a full atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and bright, with a warm and stylish layout. The large windows frame the beautiful scenery outside into a picture, and you can enjoy the seaside scenery while lying in bed. Soft beds and exquisite decorations show comfort and quality in every detail. The public areas are full of surprises, with professional karaoke equipment, an automatic mahjong table, a garden swimming pool, and a fully equipped kitchen to meet the travel needs of people of all ages.
