You must come once in your life, it's so beautiful

Everyone! Today I would like to recommend to you a pearl on the sea in Taizhou, Zhejiang - Dachen Island. It is really a super beautiful and niche tourist attraction. You can enjoy the unbeatable sea view at a low price. It is really great! This island is like a work of art carefully carved by nature. Half of it is cliffs and the other half is rippling blue waves. The unique landform makes people fall in love at first sight. Although Dachen Island is already in a semi-developed state, the commercial atmosphere is still very weak, and the residents on the island also maintain the most simple enthusiasm and sincerity, making people feel particularly cordial. Dachen Island is located in the southeastern waters of Taizhou Bay in central Zhejiang Province. It consists of two islands, Shangdachen and Xiadachen. The boat ride only takes 10 minutes, but each has a completely different landscape. It is known as the "Pearl of the East China Sea". The island has a forest coverage rate of up to 56%, an average annual temperature of 16.7 degrees, and a typical subtropical marine monsoon climate, making it a great place for a vacation. Transportation is also very convenient. After getting off the high-speed rail at Taizhou Station, you can take a taxi to the pier in about 20 minutes. If you drive, just navigate to Jiaojiang Pier No. 7. There is a parking lot near the pier, which costs only 20 yuan for 24 hours. To book boat tickets, you can follow the WeChat public account "Dachen Tourism Ticketing" and purchase tickets from Jiaojiang to Xia Dachen Island. After arriving on the island, you can also purchase tickets from Xia Dachen Island to Shang Dachen Island. It is recommended to rent an electric bicycle to travel around the island. You can stop and take pictures at will, which is very convenient. However, electric bicycles rented by scanning a code are not very cost-effective, so choose carefully. Dachen Island has many special attractions. Jiawu Rock is the classic core scenic spot of Dachen Island. It is known as the "largest bonsai in the East China Sea". It is full of strange reefs and rocks, as well as abundant military relics from the war years. Strolling among them, you will be amazed by the vicissitudes of history and the wonders of nature. Langtong Gate stands on the breakwater, with rough waves on the east side and towering Pingfeng Mountain on the north side. The mountains and the sea complement each other, and it was formerly known as "Pingfeng Mountain Lantern Shadow". It is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. The Land Reclamation Monument is located at the highest point of Dachen Island. It is a monument to the spirit of land reclamation, symbolizing the hard work and perseverance of the young land reclamation team members at that time. Wushatou Scenic Area has a 2.5-kilometer-long seaside cliff plank road, which is built on the cliff and allows you to walk on the waves. It is an excellent place to experience the island scenery. Dinggoutou Beach has a 908-meter coastline and is surrounded by mountains and the sea. It has green mountains, strange rocks, bays, and reef islands. It is a great place to relax. In terms of accommodation, the homestays on the island are mainly concentrated in Xiadachen Island, with many choices. Some homestays also provide electric bicycle rental services, which is very convenient. When it comes to food, the specialties of Dachen Island are not to be missed. Ginger soup noodles are rich and varied with seafood and vegetables. The aroma of ginger is fragrant and the flavor is lingering in the thick soup. Duck egg wine, Dachen seafood duck eggs are large, the yolks are bright red and highly viscous, and are served with brown sugar and rice wine to warm and drive away the cold. Eel jerky, the eel that has been sun-dried has firm meat and unique flavor, making it an excellent home-cooked dish. Dried sweet potatoes, grown in the sandy soil of Dachen Island, are yellow with a hint of red, very tough, and have a sweet and soft taste. Be sure to check the weather forecast before departure. Typhoon days may cause the ship to stop sailing. The sea water is really blue on sunny days. Believe me, you will not be disappointed!
