汉饱饱🍔Who says island vacations have to be crowded and expensive? 🌊 I discovered this hidden gem—Dongshan Island in Zhangzhou, Fujian. It not only boasts a cultural atmosphere comparable to Xiamen, but is also much more affordable than Sanya. It's the perfect place to relax during a short holiday!
🧳 Pre-trip Tips [Airplane]
[!] Prepare these before you go for a stress-free trip:
· ID & Discounts: Bring your ID. If you're a student, be sure to bring your student ID as some attractions offer discounts.
· Sun Protection and Mosquito Repellent: Ultraviolet rays are strong at the beach, so sun-protective clothing, a wide-brimmed sun hat, and sunglasses are essential. Don't forget mosquito repellent spray.
· Prepare for temperature fluctuations: Even in summer, beach nights can be chilly, so bring an autumn jacket.
· Transportation: After arriving at Yunxiao Station by high-speed rail, you can transfer to the island's dedicated bus, which runs hourly and is very convenient. From Yunxiao Station to Dongshan Island, you can take a special bus for 15 yuan. Sitting by the right window offers stunning views of the Bashimen Seawall.
🗺️ Three-Day Itinerary
🌅 Day 1: First Encounter with the Bay and Night Market Fireworks
· Afternoon: Upon arrival, visit Nanmen Bay, known for its colorful houses and crescent-shaped bay. This location was used as a filming location for the movie "The Left Ear." The perfect light for photos is between 4 and 6 p.m., with the reflections of fishing boats swaying in the waves, creating a truly stunning photo opportunity. Sit on the terrace of a seaside café (minimum charge around 38 yuan) and watch the sunset.
· Evening: Explore Tongling Night Market (Dongshan Island Branch) for delicious food and begin your culinary journey with authentic Minnan snacks.
🌞 Day 2: Sunrise, Island Tour, and Fishing Village Experience
· Morning: Rise early to Jinluan Bay Beach to watch the sunrise. This 4-kilometer-long mirror-like beach creates a stunning "Sky Mirror" effect when the tide drops below 1.5 meters. It's recommended to arrive 40 minutes early to secure a good spot.
· Morning: Rent an electric scooter (approximately 60 yuan/day) and cycle to the Sufengshan Ring Road/Donggu Fishing Village/Dongshan. This 8.6-kilometer coastal road, especially the Blue Bridge section, offers unparalleled 270-degree ocean views. Observation decks along the way also provide free binoculars.
· Noon: Visit Aojiao Village for a fresh seafood lunch on a fishing raft and experience authentic island life.
🏝️ Day 3: Sandbar Exploration and Intertidal Zone Treasure Hunt
· Morning: Depending on the tide, explore Nanyu Island. This offshore sandbar is only visible three hours before and after low tide. Walk to the island opposite and discover the green lighthouse featured in the movie. Be sure to check tide times in advance using the Global Tides app. The tide must be below 2 meters to navigate.
· Afternoon: Charter a boat to the more distant Fishbone Sandbar, or explore the reefs of Nanyu Island to explore intertidal creatures like anemones and barnacles, and experience the joys of nature.
📸 In-depth Guide to Must-See Attractions
· Nanmen Bay: This 300-meter-long, crescent-shaped bay is flanked by colorful stone houses and azure waters, creating a vibrant Morandi-inspired canvas.
· Jinluan Bay Beach: A prime spot for sunrise viewing. The mirror-like surface transforms into a golden palette in the morning light. Professional photography stands are available on the east side.
· Nanyu Two-Sided Sea: A unique offshore sandbar, open daily for limited hours, offers a wealth of adventure. Remember to wear non-slip shoes. Sufengshan Ring Road: With mountains on one side and the sea on the other, riding an electric scooter and feeling the sea breeze makes you feel like the star of an idol drama.

💡 Practical Tips
1. Tides are key: Before visiting attractions like Nanyu and Fishbone Sandbar, be sure to check the tide times using the "Global Tides" app. Safety is paramount.
2. Transportation: Since attractions are located some distance apart on the island, renting an electric scooter is the most cost-effective and convenient way to get around.
3. Avoid peak travel times: Avoid holidays and weekends to experience a quieter, more authentic Dongshan Island.
Dongshan Island is a place like this: its salty sea breeze, mottled fishing boats, and time perpetually slowing down, weaving island memories for everyone. Come here, not as a tourist, but as a temporary island resident! ✨
