渔船海蛎煎(曾厝垵店)

Oyster omelet, I always thought it was a Taiwanese snack, but I didn’t expect it to be a Fujian snack as well. In fact, it is the egg pancake from our Northeast, but with more ingredients, such as oysters, cucumbers and the like. In fact, the taste is really too ordinary. I can’t tell how delicious it is. Just try it!

Overall evaluation: A small shop in Zengcuo'an snack street, the owner is very humorous. [Mint] Environment: OK, no seats, you have to stand to eat. But you can experience the characteristics of this snack street. [Service bell] Service: Very enthusiastic, very happy to chat with the boss. [Naughty] Taste: Very delicious, the sauce is also very delicious. There are also cucumber shreds.

While everyone was crammed into Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, I quietly went to Zhangzhou Volcanic Island, a hidden gem in southeastern Fujian. This secluded paradise boasts a real-life Monument Valley, black sand beaches straight out of a comic book, and coastal erosion landforms perfect for Icelandic cinematic shots. I practically had the entire area to myself in 3 days and 2 nights! I can't believe anyone doesn't know about this off-the-beaten-path guide to Zhangzhou Volcanic Island! 🌋 Why is Zhangzhou Volcanic Island a hidden gem? ▪️ Fewer Crowds, Beautiful Scenery: 80% fewer tourists than Xiamen, no need to queue for photos. ▪️ Unique Landforms: Volcanic rocks, sea cliffs, colorful reefs—a collection of geological wonders. ▪️ Photo Spots: Pink castle, rainbow mountain, bubble houses—perfect for Instagrammers. ▪️ Affordable: Inexpensive entrance fees, great value guesthouses, and cheap, fresh seafood. 📅 My 3-Day 2-Night All-Inclusive Itinerary 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟏: Arrival at Volcanic Island, First Encounter with Black Romance ▪️ Afternoon: Drive from Xiamen (1.5 hours) and check into a guesthouse within the Volcanic Island Resort. After dropping off luggage, head straight to the black sand beach—a rare sight in China for black volcanic rock beaches! At low tide, the rocks are exposed, like being in Iceland 🇮🇸. ▪️ Evening: Watch the sunset from the sea cliff viewing platform. The volcanic rocks are bathed in golden light, and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks is incredibly soothing 🌅. ▪️ Evening: Eat your fill at a seafood stall outside the scenic area! Oysters were 2 yuan each, and the mantis shrimp were bigger than my hand! We ate until we were stuffed for 80 yuan per person! Lantern 2: A full day of sightseeing, my phone's memory is about to run out! ▪️ 8 AM: Before the tour groups arrived, we headed straight to the Monument Valley maze. This pink castle is so photogenic! Geometric lines + macaron colors, it's bursting with girlish charm! 💗 ▪️ Photo tips: Use arches to frame the view Sit on the stairs and shoot from below Shoot against the sea and sky from the top floor Wearing white or solid-colored clothes is the best for photos. ▪️ Lunch: We ate at a restaurant at the foot of Rainbow Mountain, next to the Chinese version of Salvation Mountain, with super cute colorful graffiti. ▪️ Afternoon: Bubble Forest: Over 200 transparent bubble houses, like stepping into an alien base Famous slide: Slide from the top of the mountain to the sea, so thrilling! Lover's Bay Beach: A heart-shaped rocky beach, a must-visit for couples. Geological Museum: Learn about the history of volcanic eruptions. ▪️ Evening: Watch the sunset at the infinity pool (open in summer), where the pink sky is reflected on the water, an unreal beauty. 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟑: Explore the surrounding area and discover more surprises. ▪️ Morning: Drive 15 minutes to Zhenhai Cape. Fujian's "Little Kenting," with its red and white lighthouse, grasslands, and the sea, it's a truly cinematic experience. It was also a filming location for the movies *The Left Ear* and *Your Wedding*. 📽️ ▪️ Afternoon: Visit Baitang Bay to see the volcanic crater. A rare underwater ancient volcano crater in the world; you can walk in at low tide and experience the geological wonder of millions of years ago. ▪️ Evening: Buy some Zhangzhou specialties (pillow cakes, Duxun crispy candy) and return home satisfied. 📸 Top 7 Must-Shoot Spots 1️⃣ Monument Valley Top Floor: Pink castle + blue sea in the same frame 2️⃣ Black Sand Beach Reefs: Dark and atmospheric shots, recommended for cloudy days 3️⃣ Rainbow Mountain Graffiti Wall: Sit on the ground and shoot from below to make your legs look longer 4️⃣ Bubble House Panoramic View: Use a wide-angle lens for a futuristic feel 5️⃣ Zhenhai Cape Lighthouse: Japanese-style fresh and clean aesthetic 6️⃣ Sea-eroded Cliff Boardwalk: The breathtaking feeling of walking on the edge of a cliff 7️⃣ Infinity Pool Reflection: Symmetrical composition, exuding sophistication 🏡 Accommodation Recommendations On Volcanic Island: Hi Live Nancuo: Pure white Instagram-worthy B&B Sea U Homestay: Floor-to-ceiling windows with sea view Nearby: Zhenhaijiao Homestay: More affordable prices Tips: Book in advance during peak season! Weekend prices double 🚗 Transportation Guide By Car: 1.5 hours from Xiamen, the most recommended way Public Transportation: Xiamen → Zhangzhou Port Passenger Terminal (20-minute speedboat ride) Transfer to bus 605 to Volcano Island On the Island: The scenic area is large; it is recommended to buy a sightseeing bus ticket (20 RMB/person) 🦞 Seafood Food Guide ▪️ Must-Try List: Dongshan Baby Squid Soy Sauce Mixed Fish Salt and Pepper Mantis Shrimp Oyster Omelet ▪️ Recommended Restaurants: Fisherman's Wharf: Nice environment, moderate prices Afen Seafood: Popular with locals, high cost-performance ratio ▪️ Avoid: Restaurants inside the scenic area are expensive and generally mediocre; it is recommended to eat out. 💰 Cost Reference (2 people, 2 days, 1 night) Tickets: Volcano Island Package Ticket 198 RMB/person Accommodation: 400-800 RMB/night Food: 150 RMB/person/day Transportation: Fuel + tolls for self-driving trips approximately 200 RMB 💡 My Off-the-Beaten-Path Travel Tips: Off-peak travel: Come on weekdays! Many tour groups on weekends. Weather Selection: Cloudy days for black sand beach photos, sunny days for colorful buildings. Clothing Preparation: Bring several outfits to change for different scenes. Sunscreen and Mosquito Repellent: Strong UV rays at the beach, many mosquitoes in the grass. Environmental Awareness: Do not damage the volcanic rocks, take all your trash with you. 🌟 Unexpected Beauty • Met a couple taking wedding photos on the black sand beach and offered to take their picture. • The guesthouse owner gave us mangoes he grew himself, super sweet. • Found a whole seashell on the beach in the evening, with tiny hermit crabs inside. • An elderly cowherd at Zhenhai Cape gave us directions in Hokkien. ✨ In conclusion, my biggest takeaway from my 3 days on Zhangzhou Volcanic Island was—there are still such hidden gems of a less-traveled destination in China. It's not overdeveloped, not commercialized, just the natural wonders and thoughtful design. If you're tired of crowded tourist spots and want a truly special trip, then come to Volcanic Island. After all, the best scenery is often hidden in places few people know about. #ZhangzhouTravel #OffTheBeatenPathDiscoveryClub #ZhangzhouTourism #FujianTravel #OffTheBeatenPathFreeSpotsRecommendation
