🌅Stunning Spots Overview
Dongji Island
This is a dream island! The sea 🌊 is intoxicatingly blue, and the sunlight shimmers on the waves. Standing by the sea, the wind blows, and every breath of air carries the scent of freedom. On Miaozihu Island, the colorful houses are scattered in an orderly manner, creating a perfect backdrop for photos. Every shot looks like a Japanese film still. There's also Dongfushan Island, one of the first places in China to see the sunrise. Waking up early to watch the sunrise 🌄, the sky gradually turns from dark to light, and then the sun leaps out. That scene is absolutely stunning!

🌟Travel Tips
1. Be sure to buy your ferry tickets to Dongji Island in advance 🎫, as they sell out quickly during peak season. You can follow the official WeChat account or find a reliable ticket agent.
2. Sun protection, sun protection, sun protection! The sun in Zhoushan is very strong. If you don't take proper sun protection measures, you'll come back looking like a charcoal briquette. Sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses are all essential 🕶️.
3. Many of the roads on Dongji Island are uphill and downhill, so wear comfortable sneakers. Otherwise, walking can be very tiring.
🍱Zhoushan Cuisine
1. Seafood Noodles: A bowl full of delicious seafood, including shrimp, crab, shellfish, etc. The noodles are chewy, and the broth is rich. Every bite is incredibly satisfying.
2. Steamed Grouper: The grouper meat is tender, and the steaming method preserves the original flavor of the fish. It melts in your mouth and is so fresh that your eyebrows will fall off.
3. Zhoushan Grilled Squid: The squid is grilled to perfection, brushed with a special sauce, and sprinkled with chopped green onions. The aroma is irresistible, and it's a perfect snack to enjoy while strolling around.
🏠Accommodation Recommendations
1. Zhujiajian Homestays: Choose a homestay near the sea, so you can wake up to the view of the ocean. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, and many homestays have small courtyards where you can relax in the evening and chat with other travelers.
2. Dongji Island Inns: Some inns on Dongfushan Island have excellent locations, offering stunning sea views from the rooms. However, facilities on the island are limited, so don't expect too much from the accommodation. Clean and comfortable is sufficient.
❗Important Notes
1. If you're prone to seasickness, prepare seasickness medication before taking the boat to Dongji Island. The waves can be quite strong, so avoid running around on the deck.
2. Although seafood is delicious, don't overeat, as it can cause stomach upset. If you have a sensitive stomach, it's best to bring some stomach medicine.
3. Please protect the environment while traveling. Don't litter, and let's keep Zhoushan beautiful~
