2025 Zhangpu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

🌷I went to a volcanic island for this B&B. 🏝️ 🌷The check-in was very pleasant. The sister at the front desk was very enthusiastic and prepared welcome fruits and shared travel and food guides. 🌸 🌷The room is almost the same as the picture, very suitable for taking photos and checking in. I like a lot of details too. 🌴 🌷Drove around the island in the afternoon and had satay noodles and four-fruit soup, both were delicious! I just entered randomly, without searching specifically. 🌟 🌷We participated in the sea-hunting activity in the evening. Although the harvest was average, it was our first time after all. 👍When we returned to the homestay kitchen, they helped us process it into crab porridge, which tasted really fresh and sweet. 🥹 🌷Go out to the beach and the sea This place has the quaint ecological appearance of a southern Fujian fishing village. There is no bustling crowd or noise. It seems that even the wind is protecting this pure land❣️ 🌷There is a quiet white house hidden on the island. The simple and pure white Greek style is decorated with exquisite green plants. 🌴 The background of blue sky and white clouds makes people feel particularly comfortable and refreshing. The lake blue swimming pool and the castle-like white house The holiday feeling is full with the backdrop of palm trees! 💐Travel to Santorini on the sea in one second! ! 👗 🌷Feeling The road to the B&B is rather rugged and desolate. 🍵Later, I saw a white house by the sea from a distance and knew it was it! 🌟 🌷It was just sunset, and when we saw this beautiful scenery, we were amazed that everything was worth it! Marvel at nomi’s design and 👒 marvel at the mysterious vastness of the ocean! nomi is like a lonely white house standing by the sea, quietly watching the sunrise and sunset, the ebb and flow of the tide. 🚗 🌷Sunrise is more beautiful and photogenic than sunset. It is strongly recommended to get up early to watch the sunrise🌄 🌷Watching the sun rise and the sea water dyed golden, 🌋I also felt calm and relaxed in my heart. This is the meaning of vacation🥰

#fallingforfall I am currently living in Zhangzhou and decided to visit some attractions here. One of them is in Zhangpu. The place is nearby Xiamen. I think this place isn't that popular yet. When we visited there, it was raining so hard and probably that was the reason we weren't able to see some visitors. When we arrived the place, it was big. A beautiful beach with fine sand which is good for swimming. It has a resort it is called Jade Seaside Resort. If you plan to stay longer. In our case we just had a short trip and explored the park though it was raining. There are some animals you can see such as big turtles, snakes, alpacas, fish and more.. Quite Interesting to be honest. It also has a little kind of Santorini which I think very Instagramable, too bad it was raining so I couldn't get more photos I wanted. A good park to visit during holidays. #fallingforfall #tripmoments #tripinspired #zhangzhouchina #fujianprovince

My initial impression of Zhangzhou was quite limited—aside from Liuao sweet potatoes, the most famous spot was the Volcano Island. By sheer coincidence, I took a wrong turn while driving and ended up at a windmill-covered mountain. Checking the location, I realized it was "Cape No.1." Zhangzhou has countless islands, practically everywhere you look, and every shot taken on these islands feels like a cinematic masterpiece. The shores are lined with power-generating windmills, paired with the "summer blue," creating a truly beautiful scene with a Japanese-style freshness vibe. Not far away lies Moonlight Beach, where the fine, smooth sand reflects sunlight on clear days, creating a "mirror of the sky" effect—absolutely breathtaking. Near "Cape No.1," there's also an abstract gallery, though it requires an entrance fee. The rocky hills inside give off a Moroccan vibe, and you can capture the windmill mountain in the background. However, summers here are scorching hot, so visitors should prepare for strong sun protection. 📍Location of "Cape No.1": Feicui Bay Cape No.1, Zhangpu 🚘How to get there: We drove from Xiamen, taking about 2 hours (with some traffic along the way). If you love the endless blue sea, don’t miss this place—the blue hues won’t just heal your entire summer but also bring a touch of romance.

Treasure mystery: Legend has it that the underground caves of the temple were used as a treasure vault by the Cai family during the Qing Dynasty, attracting explorers.

Zhangzhou Volcanic Island (centered around Zhangzhou Coastal Volcano National Geopark) is located along the coast of Qianting Town, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. Its main features include two active volcanic islands—Linjin Islet and Nanding Island—along with the Xiangshan Peninsula, Qisha Bay, and other connected land areas, situated at the unique geographical intersection of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. This area is a living fossil of the Cenozoic Eurasian Plate rift zone, with its core geological relics formed around 20 million years ago during the mid-to-late Himalayan orogeny. Multiple volcanic eruptions created the rare, well-preserved coastal volcanic landforms seen today. The massive and remarkably regular basalt columnar joints make it a natural volcanic geology museum. This volcanic wonder, frozen in time for millions of years, holds value far beyond ordinary landscapes. Only with a respectful approach can one sense the planet’s hidden fiery past and immense power within the cold, angular basalt formations. **Key Natural Landscapes:** - **Linjin Islet Volcanic Relics:** The island clearly displays a conical volcanic structure formed by central eruptions, surrounded by over 16 spectacular basalt columnar joint clusters, standing vertically with sharp edges. - **Nanding Island Stone Pillars:** The island is covered with about 1.4 million giant basalt pillars, densely packed like a frozen waterfall, typically 20–50 meters tall. Their scale and regular hexagonal cross-sections hold significant scientific and aesthetic value. - **Xiangshan Volcanic Landforms:** The peninsula features well-preserved volcanic vents (e.g., the "Lotus Throne" vent), lava platforms, sea-eroded formations, and black volcanic sand beaches (Qisha Bay). The seawater, influenced by volcanic geology, remains crystal-clear and azure year-round. **Travel Tips:** 1. **Geological Exploration:** Focus on Linjin Islet’s volcanic profiles, Nanding Island’s basalt pillars, and Xiangshan’s vents and sea-eroded landforms. Bring a geological map and compass for observation. 2. **Tide Window Observation:** Access to Linjin Islet and Nanding Island requires boat trips. Check precise local tide schedules (Xiangshan Pier usually offers daily fixed departures, 20–30 min ride) to ensure safe landing and explore eruption relics exposed at low tide. 3. **Nature Photography:** Capture sweeping views of volcanic landforms interacting with the sea at dawn or dusk from Xiangshan Peninsula’s viewpoints or Linjin Islet’s high ground. Black volcanic sand beaches provide unique backdrops. 4. **Ecological Observation:** Note the special coastal vegetation communities growing on volcanic rock and their adaptive traits. **Transportation:** - **Self-Drive:** Navigate to "Zhangzhou Coastal Volcano Natural Ecological Scenic Area" (Qianting Town, Zhangpu County). ~1.5-hour drive from Zhangzhou city; ~1-hour drive from Xiamen. - **Public Transport:** 1. From Zhangzhou Bus Center, take a bus to "Qianting" or "Volcano Park" (~hourly, 1.5–2 hours), alighting at the park entrance. 2. From Xiamen’s Fanghu or Wuqian Bus Stations, take a coach to Zhangpu County, then transfer to a rural bus to Qianting/Volcano Park. **Important Notes:** 1. **Tide Safety:** Access to Linjin Islet and Nanding Island depends strictly on tides and boat schedules. Verify daily tide levels and official boat times in advance. Never wade or stay behind. 2. **Geological Protection:** Volcanic relics are fragile. Do not strike or climb basalt pillars, remove specimens, or approach too closely. 3. **Preparation:** Bring high-SPF sunscreen, windproof jackets, anti-slip hiking shoes, and ample water—shade is scarce. 4. **Eco-Rules:** Carry out all trash to preserve the pristine environment. 5. **Confirmation:** Boat schedules and park access are weather-sensitive. Verify via official park channels or Zhangpu County Tourism Bureau before departure.
