Dongshan County Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Dongshan Island in Zhangzhou】The romantic chase of sunrise and sunset awaits you, ladies and gentlemen, come and play
In the springtime on Dongshan Island, there is a unique beauty, especially during the sunrise and sunset, unveiling a chapter of travel that you can't afford to miss. Although Dongshan Island in Zhangzhou is small, its charm is infinite, especially these spots that I have carefully selected, each one deserves to be experienced wholeheartedly.
🛣️Route suggestion: From the dawn at Jinluan Bay to the lighthouse at Shuangmianhai, then to the Chenghuang Temple at Nanwangtiantai, and finally chasing the afterglow of the sunset at the Xiakeng Seafood Pier.
🌅Sunrise at Jinluan Bay: This place is like Fujian's mini Chaka Salt Lake, known as the most beautiful sunrise viewing spot. In the early morning, as the tide recedes, the beach forms a mirror reflecting the dazzling sunlight, like nature's mirror, a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Remember to check the sunrise time in advance and arrive early to avoid missing this magnificent spectacle.
⚠️Tips: The early spring mornings are cold, so it is recommended to stay in a homestay near Jinluan Bay for convenience in watching the sunrise. The homestay we stayed at was very cozy and reasonably priced. After leaving, a short walk or bike ride will take you there.
🏖️Shuangmianhai Lighthouse: The beach here forms a path to the small island when the tide is out, not only a filming location for the movie 'The Left Ear' but also a place where tourists leave beautiful memories.
🌄Nanwangtiantai and Chenghuang Temple: These two spots are adjacent to each other. Standing on the Tiantai, you can drink a cool beverage and enjoy the panoramic beauty of Dongshan Island. Descending to the Chenghuang Temple, you can experience more local color.
🌅Sunset at Xiakeng Seafood Pier: Recommended by the local tavern owner, the sunset view here is stunningly beautiful and complements the seafood. Although it is far from other attractions, driving or taking a ride there is the perfect way to end the day.
In the spring of Dongshan Island, there is less hustle and bustle of crowds, more tranquility and beauty, and a small electric scooter can take you around the entire island, leaving behind unforgettable memories and beautiful picture
Dongshan Island Travel Guide
Babies, I'm here to share my new travel experience! This time I went to the beautiful Dongshan Island, where there are beautiful bays and retro fishing villages. Let me take you to appreciate it! 🌊
Day1: Nanmen Bay → Left Ear Terrace → Wengong Temple → Nanyu Double-sided Sea → Tongling Night Market
After arriving at Dongshan Island in the morning, the first stop I chose was Nanmen Bay, which was once the filming location of the movie 'Left Ear'. On one side is the azure sea, and on the other side is the quaint fishing village, which is as beautiful as a poem. In the afternoon, I went to the Left Ear Terrace, which is an excellent place to watch the sunset. In the evening, I tasted local delicacies at the Tongling Night Market and felt the lively atmosphere of the fishing village.
Day2: Sufeng Mountain Ring Island Road → Yanya Village → Color Spy Bay Sea
Early in the morning on the second day, I got up early and went to Sufeng Mountain Ring Island Road to admire the beautiful sunrise, then came to Yanya Village to check in the filming location of 'Yanya Lovers', and finally experienced marine activities such as catching seafood in Color Spy Bay.
Transportation suggestion: After arriving at Yunxiao Station by high-speed rail, you can take a bus directly to Dongshan Island. The fare is 10 yuan/person. If there are many people, you can choose to share a ride, the cost is 25 yuan/person. On Dongshan Island, it is recommended to rent a small electric donkey for travel, the rent is 60-80 yuan, and the off-season is 40 yuan. Be sure to ask about the battery life and return time when renting a car.
Accommodation recommendation: Tongling Town is close to Nanmen Bay, there are many things to eat, and takeaway is also convenient. But it's noisy, especially by the sea. The price of sea view rooms is more expensive. Jinluan Bay can get up early to watch the sunrise, but the delivery of takeaways is more expensive and takes a long time. There are fewer things to eat nearby. If there are many people, it is recommended to share the room fee together and choose a single-family villa for living, where you can barbecue and cook.
Dress suggestion: When taking pictures, it is recommended to wear bright or light-colored skirts, Japanese or Thai school uniforms, or camisoles with wide-leg pants or half skirts.
Must check-in attractions:
Nanmen Bay: On one side is the azure sea, and on the other side is the quaint fishing village. It is the filming location of the movie 'Left Ear'.
Jinluan Bay: The mirror-like beach and sunrise complement each other, very dreamy.
Nanyu: The green lighthouse is the filming location of the movie 'Your Wedding'. You need to watch the time to go there to prevent the tide from passing.
Sufeng Mountain Ring Island Road: The super beautiful ring island road blue bridge, wearing a school uniform to take pictures is very out of the picture. The left hand is the blue sea, and the right hand is the green mountain, which is intoxicating.
Wengong Temple: You can go up from the steps in the middle of Nanmen Bay and Fisherman's Wharf. It is the location of the movie 'Left Ear' terrace scene, where you can overlook Dongshan Island.
Yanya Village: Check in the filming location of 'Yanya Lovers' and take pictures with the cliff as the background is very beautiful.
Colorful Butterfly Bay: The colorful and vibrant bay like wings, there are special seaside small trains and rainbow train tracks in the park.
Maluan Bay: 'Sea Amusement Park', there are many amusement projects.
Left Ear Terrace: You can overlook the entire Nanmen Bay and it is an excellent place to watch the sunset.
That's all for this share! If you also want to travel to Dongshan Island, I hope my guide can help you!
I went to Dongshan Island, and I can't post all the photos in my circle of friends!
📍Left Ear Rooftop, a popular check-in spot on the rooftop
📍Your Wedding, Lighthouse, Double-sided Sea
Internet celebrity wall, took a photo, many people lined up, indeed very good for shooting. The door of fortune, passed by without taking a photo, it was too hot and I just wanted to quickly return to the homestay to lie down
✔️Wandering around the street, eating and drinking, and getting sunburned for two hours. In conclusion: The weather is very good, it's very comfortable to feel the sea breeze and see the sea view, but! Definitely do not go out in the mid to late afternoon, it's too hot! Go after four or five o'clock, and you can also see the sunset
Wind-moving Stone Scenic Mountain, went for the plank road inside, but because it was too hot and the shirt could be wrung out, I just walked around casually
You must bring, wear, and apply sunscreen when you go to the beach!
‼️Essentials: Sun protection clothing, sunscreen, parasol, flip flops, hat, sunglasses, wet wipes, mosquito repellent (The ultraviolet rays at the beach are really strong!! Any exposed skin needs to be applied with sunscreen! Even on cloudy days!)

Nanmenwan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I advise you to revisit Dongshan Island in winter, be sure to bookmark it
Here are some travel tips:
1️⃣ If possible, I suggest you drive by yourself (the attractions are unevenly distributed, Nanmen Bay, Sufeng Mountain, and Ao Jiao are three different places. If you drive, it's recommended to stay at Nanmen Bay, where there's a bustling atmosphere downstairs, and it's quite crowded, which is more friendly for girls and safer at night.
2️⃣ You can take a bullet train to Yunxiao station and then transfer to a bus. You can take a tuk-tuk driven by a local to enter the town.
3️⃣ For those who are not driving, you can ask the landlord about the location of renting small electric vehicles after arrival, but choose one with a high battery life, otherwise, it won't support you to all the attractions.
The left ear is photographed in Nanmen Bay. The place where I don't want to go when I come.
Self-driving tour Dongshan's second stop is Nanmen Bay. It is very close to Dongshan Fengdong Stone Scenic Area. It is a quiet small fishing village on Dongshan Island. The pace here is very slow and the residents are very comfortable.
Along the seawall, you can reach the beach, your feet are on the sand, bathe in the sun, and the sea breeze smells the salty taste of the sea. The sea here is clean blue, blue sky and clear water, and the mood is suddenly bright, or it is very comfortable to sit on the stone steps. 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 two-day and one-night travel guide! The seaside is very photogenic
Day 1
🌅After arriving at Yunxiao Station, take the No. 15 bus directly to Dongshan Island, about an hour, the fare is 10s. Or you can choose to carpool, about 30$ per person, and you will arrive in half an hour.
🍜At noon, we tried the local Satay noodles and Zhongyi oyster pancakes, and the soup was also very good. In the afternoon, we rented a small electric donkey for 12 hours, the price is between 80~100 yuan, and it is very convenient to ride. We rode the small electric donkey to Shuangmian Sea, Yimaluan Bay and Sufeng Mountain.
🌊You need to check the tide table in advance for Shuangmian Sea. You can go to the lighthouse to take pictures and catch the sea when the tide is low. Play with water and dig sand on the beach of Maluan Bay, and watch the sunrise in Jinluan Bay. Cycling around Sufeng Mountain, stopping and watching the beautiful scenery on the side of the road, is very comfortable, and you can also catch the sea.
🍴In the evening, we went to the market to buy seafood and randomly found a shop for processing (be sure to look at the processing fee), choose two kinds, otherwise the processing fee is not cost-effective. We live near Nanmen Bay, where you can watch the sunrise and sunset, and the room is very beautiful.
Day 2
🥣In the morning, we ate Dongshan sweet potato porridge, which tasted very good. Then go to catch the sea (we checked the tide table in advance the night before), we navigated to the entrance of Bihaishanzhuang, and walked down the path to get there. We bought tools (large clips, gloves, small buckets, rain boots, nets) in the grocery store in the vegetable market.
🍜The lunch tried Xuguang noodles, which tasted very good. In the afternoon, we went to the left ear rooftop of Nanmen Bay for a stroll, which was very photogenic. The lemon tea opposite the No. 1 Pearl Shop is good, you can buy it for a punch. The entrance fee for the Wind Moving Stone Scenic Area is 45 yuan (we didn't go and felt that a stone was nothing to see).
⭐It is best to check the tide table when playing by the sea to facilitate the arrangement of activities.
⭐Nanmen Bay and Jinluan Bay can set off small fireworks at night, which is very romantic.
⭐The ratings of takeaways are more realistic, and some delicacies may not suit personal taste.
Dongshan Island
Nanmen Bay is the Chinese version of 'Santorini in the Aegean Sea', it is the 'domestic small Bali' and 'Eastern Hawaii'. In fact, these foreign-flattering words should not be used to summarize Nanmen Bay. Because it has always been itself and does not want to become a vassal. On the one hand, more and more tourists recognize that the beaches of Dongshan are not inferior to Sanya, not inferior to the golden coasts abroad, and the blue sky and clear water are uniquely beautiful; on the other hand, the sea in southern Fujian has its native and resonant cultural atmosphere~

✨ If that's still not OK, then just wait for the delicious food to be delivered to your villa! There are seafood stalls near the Jinluan Bay villa area, you can eat there, or arrange for meals to be delivered to the villa
Ao Jiao Village | A breathtakingly beautiful little fishing village not to be missed on Dongshan Island
I stayed on Dongshan Island for three days.
The first day was spent watching the sunrise at Jinluan Bay early in the morning, and the afternoon at Nanmen Bay.
The second day was for taking life photos at the double-sided sea of Nanyu.
The third day was for checking in at Wujiao Bay, Ao Jiao Village, Gongqian Village, and Fish Bone Shoal.
Among them, the most unforgettable thing for me is this colorful little fishing village, Ao Jiao Village.
📸️ Recommended photo spots in Ao Jiao Village:
1⃣️ Tianya Ao Jiao
2⃣️ Mid-mountain Viewpoint
3⃣️ Mysterious Cave of Ao Jiao Village
4⃣️ Coastal Cliff White Lighthouse
⚠️ Warm tips:
1⃣️ Remember to bring an ultra-wide-angle lens for shooting the cave, and pay attention to the tide times.
2⃣️ For shooting the colorful fishing village buildings, remember to bring a drone, and pay attention to the height, signal, and wind level.

6 things you must know before going to Dongshan Island
1⃣️To get to Dongshan Island, take a train or high-speed rail to Yunxiao Station in Zhangzhou. Some cities need to transfer in Xiamen. There are buses or taxis available at the station to take you to the location of the homestay. The area around the high-speed rail station is equivalent to the central area of Zhangzhou, where it is convenient for food and accommodation.
2⃣️The core scenic area of Dongshan Island is on the northeast side of the island, that is, the Nanmen Bay Scenic Area. It takes nearly an hour to get there from the high-speed rail station. Renting an electric car here is very convenient, 80 yuan a day can run 80 kilometers.
3⃣️If you come to Dongshan Island for a vacation, you can stay for three days and two nights. The route is from Nanmen Bay to Ao Jiao Village, which is the East Coast. Just this route is enough for two days of good play.
4⃣️My personal most recommended attractions: 1. Nanmen Bay has a local regional style, the stone village faces the sea, and it is very comfortable whether it is sightseeing, eating or drinking. 2. Jinluan Bay has a unique mirror beach, the coastline is wide and particularly suitable for watching the sunrise 3. Sufeng Mountain has a sea bridge with beautiful scenery along the way.
5⃣️I think the cost of Dongshan Island is particularly low among domestic coastal cities, as can be seen from the local electric car rental prices. The cost of three days and two nights, including transportation, is less than 1k.
6⃣️When you come to Dongshan Island, you must go to eat ginger duck. I have been to Dongshan Island three times, and I will never miss the ginger duck shop in Nanmen Bay. The sweet soup at the intersection of the ginger duck shop is also very delicious

-
🏷️PS ❷: Now is the off-season of Dongshan Island, the villa prices are very cost-effective💰
It is recommended for friends who come to Dongshan Island in January, just rent a seaside villa🏡 Detached courtyard to play cool🙌🏻 No one disturbs㊙
