With its blue waters, beautiful bays, original island style, and fresh seafood feasts, Dongshan is a place that you don't want to leave once.

| Dongshan Island Travel Guide in Zhangzhou, Fujian. Want a weekend getaway out of province? With 2-3 days, I highly recommend Zhangzhou! Day1️⃣: Take the high-speed train from Guangzhou/Shenzhen right after work → Zhangzhou Station (Recommend a night stroll in Zhangzhou Ancient Town that evening. The compact town is perfect for leisurely citywalking, with great spots for food, drinks, and photos) Day2️⃣: Tulou in Nanjing County (visit the iconic sites featured in "Big Fish & Begonia") Then around 7 PM, take the train from Zhangzhou Station → Yunxiao Station, reaching Dongshan Island in half an hour. Spend the evening exploring the Nanmen Bay night market. Day3️⃣: Full-day tour of Dongshan Island: Early risers can catch the sunrise at Jinluan Bay, known as the "Oriental Hawaii". Morning: Head from Nanmen Bay → Ding Street (most photogenic spots are concentrated here, with fewer crowds in the morning. This is also where the rooftop scenes from the movie "The Left Ear" were filmed) Afternoon → Nanyu Twin Seas with its photogenic green lighthouse, then → Sufeng Mountain Ring Road. Rent a vehicle for a breezy island ride! Next → Maluan Bay, full of resort vibes. Order a coffee and lounge under a parasol—pure bliss! Return home by 7-8 PM to wrap up the trip~ ⚠️Notes: 1️⃣ The tulou sites in Nanjing are a bit far from Zhangzhou. Typically, take a train from Zhangzhou Station to Nanjing Station, then carpool or take a bus to the attractions. 2️⃣ Self-drive or carpool route options: Route A: Tianluokeng (Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster, Yuchang Lou, Taxia Village) ¥90/person, shuttle ¥15/person (round-trip) Route B: Yunshuiyao (Yunshuiyao Ancient Town, Hegui Lou, Huaiyuan Lou) ¥90/person, shuttle ¥15/person (round-trip) ✔️ Choose one route (or both if time allows). I joined a day tour covering Yunshuiyao in the morning and Tianluokeng in the afternoon! (Independent carpool + tickets would cost nearly ¥500, while the small group tour was just over ¥200, and it wasn’t as rushed as expected) 3️⃣ Dongshan Island transport: Take the train to Yunxiao Station, then a 30-minute ride to the island. Pre-book a car (around ¥40/solo, ¥60 for two). 🏨 Accommodation tips: Zhangzhou: Stay near the ancient town for convenience. Dongshan Island: For sunrise views, choose Jinluan Bay; for more dining/activity options, Nanmen Bay. Off-season rates offer sea-view rooms under ¥100—unbeatable! I’d revisit Dongshan Island anytime!! 🍻 Food recs: Satay noodles, Tongshan chicken legs, fruit juice ice, four-fruit soup, ginger duck, handmade fish balls, oyster omelet, glutinous rice cakes...

The wind of early summer brings the breath of the sea In this vibrant season Is there anything more desirable than a seaside vacation? Zhangzhou This city has 715 kilometers of golden coastline. Waiting for your romantic encounter in early summer Find some time to go to the beach with your friends. Give your mood a break! 🌊Zhangpu Volcano Island Named one of the “Top Ten Most Beautiful Islands in China” by China National Geographic magazine, the volcanic island preserves the structural features of central volcanic eruptions and later weathering and marine erosion geological landforms, and is a natural volcanic geological museum. There are many popular check-in spots here, such as the Castle of Love in Rainbow Mountain and Monument Valley. Against the backdrop of blue sea and blue sky, it is breathtakingly beautiful. 🌊Longhai District Baitang Bay Tourist Scenic Area It has a 3.2-kilometer beautiful coastline and a half-moon-shaped pristine beach. It is known as the "Ancient Volcano Museum" and "Underwater Terracotta Warriors" and is a national 3A-level tourist attraction. The scenic area has four major natural holiday resources: coastal volcanoes, native forests, volcanic hot springs and bays. Here, you can enjoy the Xinyue Beach and have a close contact with the sea. In the distance are spectacular volcanic remains. The basalt landforms composed of more than 1.4 million columnar joints are majestic and shocking. 🌊Dongshan Island·Maluan Bay Maluan Bay is a national 4A-level tourist attraction with its blue sea, blue sky, white sand, green forest and magical reefs. Here, you can lie on the beach, bask in the sun, and completely relax your tired body and mind. Maluan Bay is also a national sailing and windsurfing training base. If you like exciting water sports, you can also come here to experience sailing, speedboats, beach horse racing, and experience the beautiful bay scenery in all directions. 🌊Dongshan Island·Jinluan Bay If you want to watch the sunrise when you come to Dongshan Island, Jinluan Bay is definitely the best choice. It is known as the "Mirror of the Sky" and is as pure and beautiful as the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia. The sand here is fine and soft, the beach is as smooth as a mirror after low tide, and the morning glow spreads across the sky like a charming oil painting. 🌊Dongshan Island·Nanmen Bay The scenery of Nanmen Bay is literary and fresh, attracting many film and television variety shows to shoot here. Half of this place is sea, and the other half is scattered colorful houses. Sometimes you will come across fishing boats returning with the sunset, which is full of the strong atmosphere of island life. Walking on the streets of Nanmen Bay, you will be infected by the literary and artistic atmosphere here. There are many specialty shops on the street, selling various handicrafts and souvenirs. Finding a coffee shop, sitting down, ordering a cup of fragrant coffee, admiring the sea view outside the window, and feeling the flow of time is also a pleasant enjoyment. 🌊Dongshan Island·Sufeng Mountain The "most beautiful road" Sufengshan Ring Road is like a graceful blue ribbon tied between the mountains of Sufeng Mountain. On one side are lush green mountains, and on the other side is the blue sea. While riding, a stunning sea view unfolds before your eyes. 🌊Zhangpu Jintangwan Tourist Area Jintangwan Tourist Area is a national 4A-level scenic spot focusing on leisure, vacation, health and entertainment. The seawater hot springs here produce more than a thousand tons of water every day. Not only are they highly mineralized, they are also praised as "hot spring aristocrats" by hot spring experts at home and abroad. 🌊Zhangpu Longmei Bay The rocks of Longmei Bay have been weathered by sea erosion and sandstorms for tens of millions of years, forming a brown-red texture that looks like a masterpiece of modern abstract painting. It is praised by geologists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences as an "abstract gallery." Walking among these peculiar rocks is like being in a palace of art. Each rock has its own unique story, waiting for you to discover. If you come to Longmei Bay Scenic Area in summer, you can also experience starry sky camping. When night falls, you can lie in the tent and look up at the starry sky. The twinkling stars seem to be within reach.

🏝Destination Recommendation: Dongshan Island is located on the southeastern coast of Fujian, an isolated island that's popular with artistic films 🎬. Movies like "The Left Ear" and "Your Wedding" were filmed here, earning it the nickname "Fujian's Little Kenting." If you want to avoid crowded destinations during the May Day holiday, you can try this place. While countless people travel to Italy just to glimpse seaside towns, the people of Zhangzhou love visiting Dongshan Island. 🚗Transportation Guide: 🚅Take the high-speed train to Yunxiao Station, then take 🚌Bus No. 15 to Tongling Town, fare is 10 yuan. 🚕Driving: About two hours from Zhangzhou (on non-holidays). The advantage of driving is that you can stop and take photos anywhere along the Sufeng Mountain Ring Road. 🛏Hotel Information: There are many guesthouses on the island, but ocean-view rooms should be booked 1 month in advance during peak season. Now there's also a five-star hotel on the island - Yuehua Hotel. 🌟Must-visit Spots: 🌊Nanmen Bay: This has been a secret favorite for many sea lovers. It's the most artistic place on Dongshan Island, with half sea and half colorful houses scattered around. From a distance, it looks just like Santorini on the Aegean Sea. Ride along the Nanmen Bay coast enjoying the sea breeze, and when night falls and the lights come on, all that remains is romance. 🏖Fish Bone Sandbar: Dongshan Island doesn't just have artistic seas, but also world-class scenery. At Fish Bone Sandbar, you'll find Maldives-style views. This mysterious place only appears during low tide as a fish bone-shaped beach in the middle of the sea. From a distance, it looks like a huge whale surfacing, with its long tail still in the water. Interestingly, the direction of the "fish tail" changes with the tides and monsoon winds. 🛤Sufeng Mountain Ring Road: With mountains on one side and sea on the other, Sufeng Mountain Ring Road is known as the "most beautiful coastal racing track" and is an unmissable destination on Dongshan Island. 🛍Shopping Guide: Visit Tongling Fisherman's Wharf between 4 - 6 AM to buy freshly landed seafood directly from fishermen. Prices are 20% - 30% cheaper than the market, and you can even bargain㊙️. 📌Small Tips: It's recommended to drive yourself or rent an electric scooter on the island (about 80 yuan on non-holidays).

I went to Zhangzhou Dongshan Island on the second day of the May Day holiday. There was no traffic jam along the way, but there were too many vehicles in the scenic area, so traffic control was implemented about 1.5 kilometers away from the beach 🏝️, and the car had to park far away. Walk to Nanmen Bay, the beach here is relatively small, but the sea water 🌊 is very blue, and tourists are also concentrated in this area. Walk from the food street, and there are tourists sitting around the embankment all the way. The scenery is nice, but it is really crowded and sunny! Walk to the filming location of the movie "Left Ear", 🌿South View Terrace. Here you need to go through the alley and walk up the stone stairs to "go up the mountain". It feels a bit like a mountain town. There are many people on the way to the coffee shop. Walk up a little bit, walk to the back of the temple, and then go up one level to the terrace. There are few people here, and it is also good to take pictures from a high place. In general, it is quite comfortable to visit Dongshan Island during non-holidays. The experience is not so good during holidays. I didn’t get to eat the fragrant ginger duck I wanted to eat because there were too many people. I will come again when I have a chance. 📍Address: Dongshan Island, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province 🚗Transportation: It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Chaozhou Ancient City

Remember to book accommodations in advance during the May Day peak season! The earlier you book your homestay/hotel, the better the deal. 2. For short trips, I recommend packing light. Bring a backpack + comfortable sneakers, so you won't get tired even after walking all day. 3. Try to visit popular attractions during off-peak hours. The experience is better before 9am or after 4pm.

Transportation on the island: Electric cars are the most pleasant way to travel around Dongshan Island, with rental fees ranging from 50 to 80 yuan per day. Bus routes cover major attractions and towns, but the frequency is infrequent. Taxi travel is convenient, but you may have trouble catching a taxi during the peak tourist season.

In addition, April to June every year is the peak season for Dongshan Island's "blue tears", a natural phenomenon caused by the luminescence of plankton such as Noctiluca scintillans or sea fireflies in the ocean, which is very spectacular.

📮 Bring a curious mind and an eye for beauty, and embark on a pleasant journey of discovery! As long as you want to, "travel" begins the moment you step out of your door! 📍Location: Dongshan Island, Zhangzhou 🚗Transportation: ➡️Zhangzhou Station 🚄 to Yunxiao Station: 32 minutes ➡️From Yunxiao Station, take a taxi 🚗 to Dongshan Island: approx. 40 minutes 💴Tickets: Free 🆓 📷Best time to take photos: Mar 13, 2025 🌈✍️Travel Notes📝 1️⃣I experienced the inaccuracy of Zhangzhou's weather forecast. The previous night, it was still showing rain, so before going to bed, I silently wondered where the weather would take us tomorrow. Fortunately, when I opened my eyes, the weather was good, so I immediately booked round-trip train tickets to Yunxiao Station. ❗️Yunxiao Station 🚄 is the closest train station to Dongshan Island. 2️⃣After arriving at Yunxiao Station, pay attention to the arrow signs, find the online car-hailing location, and then book a taxi. It takes about 40 minutes via the expressway. 3️⃣Our goal was also a "leisure tour", so we located Chaosheng Building and then started wandering around from there. 4️⃣We climbed up from the side of a ticket booth near the sea, and soon arrived at the Left Ear Sky Terrace. While wandering around on the top of the mountain, we encountered Ben Guesthouse on the other side. At that time, we were attracted by the scenery leading to the sea. Then we saw a "coffee" sign, and then we saw someone sitting in the courtyard with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sea, eating. Tempted by the beautiful scenery, we went to bother the owner while he was eating, and then sat in the beautiful scenery and drank a cup of coffee. We followed the owner to visit his guesthouse. Each room has a sea view. For a moment, I wanted to change my itinerary and stay there for one night, but reason prevailed and I only stayed there for about 1 hour before leaving! 5️⃣After coming out of Ben Guesthouse, we checked in at the Left Ear Sky Terrace, and then walked all the way down, checked in at the wall full of wooden rafts, walked along Nanmen Bay coastline to the main intersection, and booked a car back to Yunxiao Station. 6️⃣It's so comfortable to stroll around without rushing! Enjoy the sunshine, the sea, and the small seaside village, walking, stopping, and looking around! ...It's really too leisurely... I would like to go again if I have the opportunity... ‼️Tips: Homework before going out ✅Check the travel route on the map ✅Check the business hours and whether you need to make an appointment in advance to avoid making a wasted trip ✅When you are out, remember ♥️safety first♥️

#Mainland Travel Nanmen Bay on Dongshan Island in Zhangzhou, Fujian is a great place for vacation and leisure. After the tide goes out, the sandbar emerges from the water and a double-sided sea is formed. The sand here is very fine and it is very comfortable to walk on it barefoot. The original plan for today was to hike from the coast of Nanyu Shuangmianhai to Nanmen Bay. However, due to the road closure due to construction work, we returned along the original route and took a taxi directly there. As soon as you enter Nanmen Bay, you will be fascinated by the scene before you: the vast bay and the ancient village built according to the terrain. At first glance, you would think you are in Cinque Terre in Italy. No wonder it attracted the filming of "The Left Ear" here. Go up the famous stairs, pass Wengong Temple, and reach Zuo'er Terrace, where you can overlook the panoramic view of Nanmen Bay. Although it was raining, the tourists were still in high spirits. What I like most is to sit on the embankment and drink tea or coffee facing the sea. It is so comfortable. There are many scenic spots and historical sites here, but I was unable to visit them due to time constraints and will leave it for next time. #Seaside scenery #Resort #Fujian travel

Two days are enough for you to find the poetic life of "half seawater, half fireworks" between the artistic fishing village and the mountains and seas.

You must go to Dongshan Island, have a date with the sea, and encounter the blue romance that belongs to you in a windy place. This is the filming location of the movies "Left Ear" and "Your Wedding". Every frame is as beautiful as a movie scene. Let's take a look at my travel guide 👇 Transportation 🚄High-speed rail: Take the train to Yunxiao Station. After exiting the station, there are two ways to get to Dongshan Island. One way is to take bus No. 15, which costs 10 yuan per person and takes about 1 hour; the other way is to share a car, which costs about 30 yuan per person and takes 1 hour to reach the island. 🚗Self-driving: Navigate directly to Dongshan Island. The scenery along the Shenhai Expressway is beautiful, but there may be traffic jams on holidays, so remember to plan your time in advance. Transportation on the island: Renting an electric car is the most convenient way to travel, 80-100 yuan/day, and you can freely travel between various attractions. Accommodation recommendations 🏠Tongling Town: The most lively place on the island, close to Nanmen Bay and Fengdongshi Scenic Area, with many delicious foods, convenient transportation, many accommodation options, and affordable prices. You can find a good homestay for 200-500 yuan. 🏠Jinluan Bay: The environment is quiet, the sea view room has a great view, you can watch the sunrise while lying in bed, it is suitable for friends who want to enjoy a quiet vacation. However, there are relatively fewer dining options and accommodation prices are relatively high, ranging from 500 to 1,000 yuan per night. Attractions 1. Nanmen Bay: Half of it is the sea, and half of it is a small town. The colorful houses are scattered around, full of southern Fujian style. During the day, you can stroll along the beach and feel the gentle sea breeze; in the evening, the setting sun shines on the sea, it is so beautiful that you will be speechless. Any photo you take will be very good. This is also the filming location of "Left Ear". 2. Jinluan Bay: Known as the "Mirror of the Sky", the beach is fine and soft. When the tide goes out, the beach is like a mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds. A great place to watch the sunrise. At 5-6 in the morning, the sun slowly rises from the sea level, and the golden sunlight shines on your body, which is super shocking. 3. Sufengshan Ring Road: One of the most beautiful roads in Fujian, half of it is green mountains and half of it is blue sea. Riding on this road, feeling the sea breeze on your face, you will feel as if you are in a Hayao Miyazaki cartoon. There are many viewing platforms along the way where you can stop and take pictures at any time. 4. Nanyu Double-Sided Sea: The filming location of "Your Wedding", with a green lighthouse. The magic here is that it is an isolated island at high tide, but a sandbar appears at low tide, and you can walk to the lighthouse, but be sure to check the tide table in advance. 5. Wind-Moving Stone Scenic Area: The iconic attraction of Dongshan Island, Wind-Moving Stone is known as "the most amazing stone in the world". It moves when the wind blows, but it remains standing. It is very magical. There are also historical sites such as Tongshan Ancient City and Wengong Temple in the scenic area, which are worth a visit. Food Recommendations 🦀Seafood: You must eat seafood when you come to Dongshan Island. The local seafood is fresh and cheap. We recommend the blanched squid, steamed grouper and spicy crab, which are authentic and delicious. 🍜Special snacks: Xiaomi, with thin skin and large fillings, is super satisfying to eat in one bite; Maozai porridge, with a seafood soup base, is extremely fresh and fragrant; Omelette, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, is super delicious when paired with tomato sauce. 🥤Drinks: Little Wife Sweet Soup, a local specialty dessert, with various taro pastes, grass jelly, and fruits combined together, refreshing and greasy. Travel suggestions 1. Weather: Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a sunny day to travel. The sea view will be more beautiful and the photos will be better. 2. Sun protection: The ultraviolet rays at the seaside are very strong, so you must take sun protection measures and put on sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses. 3. Going to the beach: If you want to experience going to the beach, you can go to Yugu Sandbar, Aojiao Village and other places. Remember to learn about the tide time in advance. 4. Water activities: There are many water activities in Maluan Bay, such as sailing, motorboats, etc. Friends who like excitement should not miss it, but they must choose regular merchants and pay attention to safety. Dongshan Island is really a romantic and healing place, where you can slow down and feel the gentleness and tranquility of the sea. My dears, please save this guide and go on an island trip at any time💕
