Daheshan Island is one of the ten most beautiful small islands in China, and it's breathtakingly beautiful
As one of the ten most beautiful islands in China selected by 'National Geographic'—Daheshan Island, it is an undeveloped natural island and also the setting for the TV series 'Parents' Love'. Its beauty truly lives up to its reputation.
-
I have summarized the travel guide for Daheshan Island and am sharing it with everyone. Be sure to save it! ❤️
✅Attractions
1️⃣Longzhua Mountain (almost all the good-looking photos of the island come from here): 👍👍👍
The most, most, most worthwhile place to visit, with sea-eroded trails formed over hundreds of millions of years, where rocks and the azure sea intertwine, the scenery can be described as spectacular! It's easy to take great photos here.
🕐Visiting time: About 1 hour
-
⚠️The popular photo spot 'Frame Stone Tower' is to the right after descending the mountain, next to a broken boat on the right-hand side, with a 30-second photo-taking limit per person.
-
⚠️When walking through the sea-eroded rock trails, be sure to pay attention to safety, as tall people may easily bump their heads.
-
2️⃣Tuowei Beach:
It's a tidal flat that looks like a fishtail, surrounded by popular decorations and some fishing boats. Entrance fee is 30 (20 if bought on-site), but I don't think it's very interesting.
⚠️Perhaps due to the terrain, this area is much windier than Longzhua Mountain, and it's extremely cold, so be sure to keep warm.
-
3️⃣Beizhuang Site:
A 6500-year-old prehistoric village site was discovered here, which is basically some reconstructed thatched houses. It's [free and just a 100 meters walk up from the pier, worth a look.
🕐Visiting time: 15 minutes
-

‼️Important Notes
Ferry tickets to Daheshan Island are purchased from Pengchang Port, 70 one-way. From Daheshan Island to Penglai, tickets must be bought on the island (tickets go on sale 30 minutes before departure), Penglai does not sell tickets, and the ferry ride is 75 minutes one-way.
-
‼️The island's transportation is the aforementioned island bus and electric cars, with electric cars costing 15 for 30 minutes. Compared to that, taking the bus is more appealing. Walking is not very feasible, as there are many slopes.
-
⚠️It is not recommended to stay overnight on the island, as the sightseeing time is not long and there are only a few tourist spots. Overall, it doesn't seem necessary to stay overnight.

Checking in at Daheishan Island
Daheishan Island, located more than 50 kilometers southeast of Zhuanghe city center in Daheishi Town, attracts numerous tourists with its unique natural scenery and abundant marine resources. Not only does it have the stone mountains that rise abruptly from the top of the hill, resembling a giant dragon lying on the vast coast of Bohai Bay, but it also boasts the Heishi Reef scenic area known as the natural oxygen bar, as well as the largest island scenic area in the Dalian region. The beautiful scenery of Daheishan Island is all in sight, with green mountains and clear waters, and the landscape here is uniquely charming. In the summer of Dalian, the sea is picturesque, and the mountains are lush green, representing the most beautiful scenery of Dalian's summer.
Here, you can experience the marvelous craftsmanship of nature, and the scenery on the top of the mountain makes you exclaim involuntarily. The seawater around Daheishan Island is so pure that it resembles a pool of crystal, untainted by any speck of dust, as if it could penetrate one's soul. Standing on the deck and looking into the distance, it perfectly meets the blue sky, merging water and heaven into one, facing this sacred blue, it's like facing Zen, like approaching Prajna. Here, you can pursue a dreamlike world, feel the baptism of the sea, wash away the mundanity of life, and feel as if reborn.

Really in Shandong! | How amazing is the most beautiful island in China rated by National Geographic!!!
| How amazing is the most beautiful island in China rated by National Geographic!!!. Daheshan Island in Changdao County, Yantai, Shandong, is an island surrounded by the sea. It not only has unique marine erosion landforms and natural scenery of strange reefs and strange stones, but also has a rich marine culture and fishing folk customs. It is also rated by National Geographic as one of the top ten most beautiful islands in China.
The key is that this is a very niche treasure island, because it needs to take a boat to get there, and there are only two shifts a day, so the number of tourists arriving daily is limited, which also ensures the comfort of the travel experience to the greatest extent.
1 Longzhuashan National Geological Park
As the saying goes, 'If you don't visit Longzhuashan, you don't count as coming to Changdao.' At the northernmost end of the island, there are five steep cliffs standing side by side, which are quite shocking. There are three must-visit spots in the park, namely 'Tianmendongkai', 'Juxiandong', and 'Haishi Zhandao'. Among them, 'Tianmendongkai' is the most spectacular, and the cave in the middle is like the 'Eye of Daheshan Island', which is very photogenic.
2 Towing Tail Beach
It's really a beautiful view that will attract you at first sight. The best viewing period is after the tide recedes, and the Towing Tail Beach reveals its full view. It's a scene that only exists in movies, but the sand on the beach is not fine sand, the particles are relatively large.
3 Beizhuang Site
This primitive village site, with its large scale, complete preservation, and rich remains, is rare in our country. It is another major discovery after the Banpo Lintong Jiangzhai in Xi'an, and is known as the Eastern Banpo by the archaeological community. It is currently also a national key cultural relic protection unit.

By the way, on the way to Longzhashan, there are many beautiful cliffs that you can shoot!
②Tow Long Beach: Just listening to the name is a beautiful place! The endless sea is very clear and transparent! Just like the scene in the movie! So romantic!

Travel tips:
If you are not in a hurry, you can actually stay on the island for a day, eat the original seafood of the farmhouse feast, and watch the sunset and sunrise!
If you want to take good photos, you must go on a sunny day! The sun is really the best filter!
The conditions of the homestay on the island are limited, you can bring your own towels and stuff!
There are so many places to take pictures! You can bring a few more sets of clothes haha!

Yantai | A day and night trip to Dajiao Mountain Island has arrived
| A day and night trip to Dajiao Mountain Island has arrived. We came to Penglai to play!
This time we chose the shooting location of 'Parents' Love'! Dajiao Mountain Island
Although it's National Day, there are really not many people!
The scenery is also very beautiful!
In short, it's all about the photos!
Disadvantage: Compared to Changdao, there are fewer attractions
For sisters who like fewer people and slow travel, I recommend here
Below is our travel guide
1. We bought a boat ticket from Penglai to Dajiao Mountain Island at 1 o'clock. Boat ticket: 60 (you can buy the ticket to go on WeChat on your mobile phone, and you can only buy the ticket to return from the island offline, and you can queue up to buy the ticket 30 minutes before the boat departs offline)
2. We booked a homestay in advance, stayed for one night, and the boss included 2 meals + 1 breakfast!
(Must praise the boss of the homestay here! Really enthusiastic! The key is that the cooking is delicious! The disadvantage is that the house is relatively simple but very clean!)
Key point: You need to book meals on the island in advance. I see that walk-in customers come to eat, they do not accept it. It seems that there are only shops on the island, so if you want to come and play, either bring your own food or find the boss to order food!
Below is the itinerary:
Longzhua Mountain-Watch the sunrise-Chasing the sea garden tail beach
1. Longzhua Mountain: Because of the boat at one o'clock in the afternoon! It was almost three o'clock when I was ready to go out on the island! After considering it, I went to Longzhua Mountain to play! This place is really too much like a photo!
You can go and take pictures of the starry sky at night! I didn't bring equipment, so I didn't go~
2. Get up at 5:30 to watch the sunrise: The homestay where I live is next to the sea. Get up early at five o'clock and get ready to go out to watch the sunrise! (It is best to confirm the time and place with the locals in advance)
3. Rattlesnake Beach Chasing the Sea: It is recommended that you go early, preferably at 6 o'clock! If there is a car arrangement, you can go directly to watch the sunrise.
We went at 7 o'clock, it was a bit late, and the tide had already receded! But it's just right, walking on foot, surrounded by the sea. After strolling around, I rented an electric bike and rode around the island~ (Complain that the electric bike is really expensive! Xiaolan is 15 for half an hour)
In short, I really recommend this cute little island~
Sisters who have time can go to Changdao to play first, Changdao is closer~ You can come to Dajiao Mountain Island when you have enough fun!
