You can't explore the scenic area in one day. Once you get to the pier, take the bus. There are buses to various popular attractions. The scenic area is large and walking is tiring. When visiting temples, be sure to pay attention to the time, as they close on time. This time, my child left his hat at Fayu Temple and when he returned, it was closed.
Putuo Mountain has beautiful scenery, shaded by ancient trees, and is very popular. The transportation is convenient. During peak hours, the queue for the scenic shuttle bus is quite long. It is better to stay overnight with children to avoid the peak hours and come back next year. As long as you are here, it will get better and better!

My children like the bubble pool here very much and played there for a long time. The staff of the water park are also very serious and responsible. Wang Yuying even took the initiative to put on buoyancy clothes for us.

I booked two middle cabin packages with sachets on Ctrip. When I picked up the tickets, I was given one middle cabin and one upper cabin. I had to sit separately. The upper cabin ticket I took was more expensive than the middle cabin, but the seats were indeed green trains. The middle cabin sleeper and middle cabin seat tickets are the same, and the middle cabin seats are high-speed rail seats. The cruise company has a special ticket sales app, which is available on WeChat. You can buy economical and affordable tickets for consecutive seats a week in advance. The middle cabin can save 70 yuan per ticket. I bought two sachets for 140 yuan. Does anyone need them? 9.9 free shipping.
2 days and 1 night: Arrive at Miaozihu Island in the morning of the first day, take a sightseeing bus to tour around the island or walk along the coastal trail to check in at scenic spots; take a boat to Dongfushan Island in the afternoon, take a short rest after checking in, and watch the sunset in the evening. Get up early on the second day to watch the sunrise on Dongfushan Island, then you can move freely or continue hiking around the island, take a boat back to Miaozihu Island at noon, and then return.

The scenery is very good, but it is seriously unpopular. It feels like we are the only three people in the whole scenic area. The layout of the island is called Yingqimen Dunjia layout. Maybe it is because it is rarely visited. There are dense sea cockroaches crawling on the strange rocks and steps near the Bihai Chaosheng scenic spot on the sea side, which seems to highlight the mystery and unusualness of Taohua Island.
It's worth going here. Take a boat to the island. The transportation is convenient. There are special buses between the scenic spots, and you don't have to wait. When you get off the boat, there are many cars parked there, and the directions are marked. We went to the Condor City and Taohua Village, both of which were very good. We didn't have time to go to other attractions. There were no peach blossoms when we went there, but I think the scenery is still very good. There is a mountain climbing road inside, and you can also experience the fun of climbing. Overall it is very good and worth a visit.
