    Meizhou Island Travelogue: Sea, God, and Original Intention Stepping onto Meizhou Island, one is immediately enveloped by the atmosphere of the azure sea and the mingled scents of incense. Climbing the steps, the majestic stone statue of Mazu stands tall, its flowing robes seemingly protecting the vast blue waves. The ancestral temple complex features upturned eaves, the golden Mazu statue reflecting the warmth of the jade Mazu statue, while the sounds of morning bells and evening drums bring a sense of tranquility, allowing one to forget the hustle and bustle of the world. Strolling along the rainbow-colored running track, the waves gently kiss the beach, and the sea-eroded wonders of the Goose Tail Rock bear the marks of time. Here, there is no noise, only the whisper of the sea breeze and the piety of the believers. The legend of Mazu's salvation has been carried by the waves for millennia, becoming the island's most gentle and nurturing backdrop. The two-day trip was swift, yet I was deeply moved by the purity of this faith and the tranquility of nature. The beauty of Meizhou Island lies not only in its azure sea and sky, but also in the benevolent power that transcends millennia, leaving one with a clear mind and unforgettable memories.

    Free parking at the entrance, beautiful natural scenery. Arrived at the entrance at 2 PM, walked 2 hours to the cable car return point. Waited 10 minutes for the car, rode for 15 minutes, not bad. November 1st wasn't hot, a bit cool. Came out around 5 PM. Had plenty of time, headed to the pier ⛵️

    When you come to the beach, you must watch the sunrise. The sunrise on Nanri Island is also within my plan. The whole waiting time for the sunrise is very long, but when you see the sun rising from the sea level month by month and getting brighter and brighter, all the time waiting is so worth it. There are very few people watching the sunrise on Nanri Island, and I am the only one waiting alone on the beach.
