[2025 Zhoushan Attraction] Travel Guide for Dongfushan Island (Updated Jul)

Dongfushan Island is a small island in Dongji Island. To go to Dongfushan Island, first buy a boat ticket to Miaozihu Island from Zhujiajian Wugongshi Wharf 3 days in advance, and then pay another 30 yuan for a ticket to Dongfushan Island on the boat. This way, you don’t have to get off the boat after arriving at Miaozihu Island. It takes about one and a half hours to sail from Zhujiajian Wugongzhi Wharf to Miaozihu Island, and half an hour from Miaozihu Island to Dongfushan Island, and it also stops at Qingbang Island in the middle. The main attractions of Higashifukuyama Island are watching the sunset, the lighthouse, and hiking along the S-shaped mountain road. Hiking is quite tiring, so friends with average physical strength can choose not to go around the entire island. It is also the first ray of dawn in China, so you can get up early to watch the sunrise. #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs

It’s said that it’s the first island in China to see the sunrise. Firstly, it’s absolutely tiring to reach the island. 🥱We take High-speed Rail from Shanghai to Ningbo, then take bus from Ningbo to Shenjiamen, then ferry from Shenjiamen to Dongji Island, then another ferry to Dongfushan Island. It takes almost a day.😔 It’s a very natural island, except for a large number of homestays, there are few traces of commercialization, especially compared to Dongji Island. There’s no takeout service on the island. Barbecue and seafood are all over the island. And they are all cheap and delicious. But it’s not easy to find a drink store, even a supermarket. And all these snacks and drinks are expensive because it really takes some energy to send these products to the island. There’re no high buildings, only small hills, so it’s easy to see the sunset on the balcony of the room. And also they don’t even have much streetlights at night. So when walking down the road at night, you could hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks on one side, and the big shadow of the mountains on the other side. Even not much people on the road. It’s a beautiful place that you could touch the true nature and be quite to yourself. But you may feel a little bit boring after several days there haha.

Transfer trap: Zhujiajian→Miaozihu is main route, cash-only tickets for Qingbang/Dongfushan onboard (bring change). Weather cancellations: Check "Zhoushan Weather" WeChat before departure as fog/rain may cancel all ferries. 🏨 Accommodation pitfalls Kickback restaurants: Some homestays push partner restaurants (e.g. "Latitude 30°"), expensive and bad! Find local seafood stalls instead. Too-good-to-be-true prices: Oceanview rooms under 300 RMB/night may be damp/buggy. Peak season markups: July-August prices double, book 2 months early (recommend "Lanyun Blueness" homestay, 598 RMB/night with bathtub). 🍤 Food pitfalls Pier scams: Seafood stalls shortchange customers, go to "Qingbang Memory Restaurant" for fresh fish (70 RMB/person). Group buy traps: Cheap seafood sets may use dead fish, order à la carte with clear pricing. Tourist trap shops: "Dongji Chili Sauce" is free to add, but don't buy bottled (15 RMB in supermarkets vs 30 RMB at attractions). 📸 Activity pitfalls ⭕Deep sea fishing scam: Beginners avoid 200 RMB/hour deep sea fishing (likely to catch nothing)! Try shore fishing (50 RMB/hour). ⭕Hiking misdirection: Dongfushan loop takes 4 hours, avoid "counterclockwise route" if unfit (hard first then easy). ⭕False bioluminescence claims: Only at Shapu Beach after August, ignore "always visible" ads. 🍜 Food hall of fame Xiaolin Noodle House (Miaozihu): Seafood fried rice cakes 30 RMB, add vinegar to remove fishiness.

🌅 "Life is not about rushing, but about experiencing the journey." In this era full of poetry and distant dreams, travel has become a salvation for the soul, and Dongji Island is undoubtedly that coveted paradise on the sea. Today, I present to you my most comprehensive Dongji Island travel guide 📖, to help you appreciate the unique charm of this island. 🚗 Transportation Guide: ✈️ If you are flying, you can first arrive at Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport, then take a taxi to Zhujiajian Wugongzhi Pier to start your island journey. 🚌 Departing from Ningbo, Hangzhou, or other places, taking a bus or driving is also a good choice. It takes about 3 hours to reach Zhujiajian. 🚢 Taking a boat is the only way to get to Dongji Island. Book your tickets 1 to 3 days in advance on the "Zhoushan Haixing Ferry" WeChat public account—this is crucial during peak season! The main route is from Zhujiajian Wugongzhi Pier to Miaozihu Island, with a sailing time of about 2 hours and ticket prices between 100 to 150 RMB. After arriving at Miaozihu Island, if you want to go to Dongfushan or Qingbang Island, you need to buy an additional ticket on the boat, costing 30 to 50 RMB, with a sailing time of about 30 minutes. Remember to prepare seasickness medicine and choose a lower deck for a more stable ride; return tickets can be purchased via the "Dongji Shipping" mini program. 🏝 Island Choices and Attractions: 🎯 Miaozihu Island: As the main island, it has the most complete facilities. The popular lighthouse and the statue of Caibogong, filming locations of "The Continent," are must-visit spots. Walking around the island takes about 4 to 5 hours; if you feel tired, you can take a sightseeing bus (88 RMB/person) to easily check off all the attractions.

Head to the sunrise platform before 4 a.m. to witness the first ray of sunlight on mainland China—an unforgettable experience.

If you're lucky, you can see the magical bioluminescent sea on summer nights. 🎯 Qingbang Island: Quiet and less crowded, the scattered stone houses form the "Potala Palace on the Sea," perfect for stunning photos. Xiaohai Cave is a great spot to explore WWII refugee sites, but it’s best to have a local guide. 🏠 Accommodation Recommendations: 🛏 Miaozihu Island: The high-end Kaiyuan Yiju Dongji Island offers sea view rooms with excellent views; for budget-conscious travelers, Fanyu Boutique Homestay is a good choice, conveniently located near the pier. 🛏 Dongfushan Island: Tata Youth Hostel has a great atmosphere to meet friends from all over; Dongfushan Villa’s sea view rooms let you fall asleep to the sound of waves. ❗ Prices double during peak season, so book at least one month in advance; some homestays have no elevators, so choose carefully if you have a lot of luggage. 🍱 Food Guide: 🦀 Must-try seafood: Tigerhead fish tofu soup, tender fish with rich broth; mussels (green-lipped mussels), fresh and original flavor; swimming crab is fattest after August, a bite full of happiness; sea urchin steamed egg, delicate texture and nutritious.

At 4 AM on June 22, as the first dawn light pierced through the East Sea mist, the cliffs of Qingbang Island were gilded with gold—dozens of fishing boats carved silver trails across the glassy waters, waves shattering into flying diamonds.

Morning mist rolled like waves below Elephant Trunk Peak, startling birds from reeds—my phone’s live photo drew instant replies: “This filter’s worth $199, right?” > “The sea here holds a thousand blues—nearshore like mint jelly, distant waves like malachite, and twilight whirlpools like molten sapphire!”

⛱️Must-Visit Spots: 1. First Ray of Sunrise Spot: We woke up at 4:45 AM, quickly brushed our teeth, washed our faces, and headed to the spot where the first ray of sunlight hits. By 5:05 AM, it was already crowded. After waiting just three to four minutes, we could start watching the sunrise. The beauty of the sunrise is something you must experience in person to truly appreciate its magnificence! 2. Island Loop Trail: It takes about four to five hours to complete, with beautiful scenery along the way. Take photos as you go. There are signposts to follow: Dashuwan Stone House Village → Meteorite Waterfall → Elephant Trunk Peak → "Fortune Like the East Sea" Stone. 🍜Food Guide: 1. Tata Izakaya (244 yuan): 6 garlic oysters, a plate of boiled shrimp, a bowl of seafood udon noodles, and a plate of taro vegetables: The seafood was very fresh with generous portions. We were stuffed after the meal. Highly recommended with decent value for money. 2. Seaside Snacks (68 yuan): Seafood stir-fried rice cakes, seafood noodles, coconut juice: I especially recommend the seafood stir-fried rice cakes with shrimp, clams, fish balls, and rice cakes all stir-fried together. Very fresh with perfect saltiness, and the rice cakes were nice and chewy. The seafood noodle soup was a bit salty with the same ingredients, but the noodles were slightly overcooked. 3. A-Xing Milk Tea (22 yuan): Jasmine milk green tea (2 cups): Nothing special, but refreshing. Nice to have a cup when it's hot. Average value for money. 🏨Accommodation Guide: The island has only guesthouses, priced between 750-1300 yuan. We stayed at Dongji Dongfushan Yi Island Guesthouse. When you arrive at the pier, guesthouse staff will hold signs—just follow them. Perhaps because it was busy during the May Day holiday, our room wasn't cleaned when we returned at 8 PM, despite having booked for two nights. We had to call to get toiletries delivered. At night, the strong wind made howling sounds, and the doors and windows creaked, affecting our sleep. Early in the morning (around 7 AM), we could clearly hear people arguing nearby, so we couldn't get back to sleep after returning from watching the sunrise. 🚄Transportation Guide: Recommended to drive yourself. From Shanghai, it's a 4-5 hour drive to Banshengdong Pier, then take a boat (buy tickets online for 130-150 yuan) to Miaozi Lake, then buy another ticket (30 yuan) to Dongfushan Island. If taking high-speed rail to Ningbo Station, a taxi to Banshengdong Pier costs 50-60 yuan, then take a boat (online tickets 130-150 yuan) to Miaozi Lake, and buy tickets on the boat (30 yuan) to Dongfushan Island. Check schedules online. During the May Day holiday, morning boats depart at 8 AM and 10 AM, and afternoon boats at 1:10 PM, 2:20 PM, and 3:50 PM. 💗Other Tips: 1. Sunscreen is a must—apply it all over your body. The sun is extremely strong!!! 2. Mosquito repellent is essential for sunrise viewing and hiking the island loop. For hiking, long pants are recommended to avoid multiple mosquito bites. 3. Temperature varies greatly between morning/evening and midday. Wear short sleeves during the day and bring a long-sleeved layer for mornings and evenings. 4. Bring cash—the boat ticket from Miaozi Lake to Dongfushan Island requires cash payment.
