A paradise for anglers and a hidden gem for camping

The breathtaking island in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region - Yushan Island 😍, has been on my mind for so long! This small island may not be large, but it's filled with pristine charm, where you can wander freely 👣. It's not overly developed yet, which is just fantastic 😎! On a clear day, the sea is so blue it's intoxicating 🌊, and if you're lucky, you might even encounter the magical blue tears 💧! I finally fulfilled my dream of camping on the island and sea fishing before the high temperatures hit 🎣! 🚗 For transportation: I strongly recommend driving to Shipu Pier 🚗, taking a boat around nine in the morning, with the journey taking about 3 hours 🕙. For those who get seasick, remember to take motion sickness medicine in advance 💊, or choose a seat near the stern of the boat 😉. If you're taking a high-speed train, you'll need to transfer to a bus directly to Shipu at Ningbo Station 🚌. We drove from Shanghai, so we arrived at Shipu the afternoon before and stayed overnight, then took the ferry the next day 🚢. 🏠 For accommodation: The island's facilities are limited, and rooms during holidays can be scarce, so be sure to book in advance 📱! There are no cars on the island, and transportation is by tricycle 🛺. Upon arrival at the pier, the B&B owner will pick you up with a tricycle 🤗. If interested, you can also bring your own tent for camping ⛺️, which is free, but spots are first-come, first-served 😉! You can see the sunrise just by opening your tent 🌅, but there is a lot of moisture by the sea, and the tent will have a lot of dew at night 💧, along with mosquitoes and bugs 🐛, so it's best to prepare mosquito repellent 🦟. 🍽 For dining: Most B&Bs provide meals 🍲, mainly seafood 🦀️, and vegetables are a luxury on this island 🥦. 🎣 Fishing is really superb: Yushan Island is known as 'Asia's No. 1 Fishing Ground' 🎣, with abundant fishery resources 🐟. This season has greenling and hairtail, and if you have a fishing rod, you can bring your own, or rent one in the village 🎣. Greenling are easy to catch, almost every time you drop the hook there's a bite, and often you'll pull up a string of them 😲, it's really worth experiencing 😎! Hairtail fishing is mainly at night, but with good luck, you can catch them during the day too 🤩. Some other details: The village has a convenience store and a health clinic 🛒, where you can buy snacks, fruits, and motion sickness medicine, etc. 💊. Although Yushan Island is quite primitive and resources are limited, the scenery is truly breathtaking 😍, the sea is unbelievably blue 🌊, and it's definitely worth a visit 😘!

I've decided, next up is to visit this small island to see the blue sea!!

Among the islands in Zhejiang, Dongji Island is far, Huaniao Island is tiring, and it's not possible to fully explore Gouqi Island in two days. Only the Yushan Archipelago is the perfect small island in my heart, where it is truly 'facing the sea, with spring flowers blossoming'! - 🏝️ Island Highlights 🌸 Flowers bloom all over the mountains, and the blue tears phenomenon occurs from May to August 🌸 The sea water quality is among the best in Zhejiang 🌸 A camping paradise, where you can see the starry sky and the Milky Way as soon as you open your tent 🌸 Known as 'Asia's no.1️⃣ fishing ground' 🌸 The red and white 'Far East no.1️⃣ lighthouse' - ✈️ Transportation Guide From Hangzhou, there is a direct bus to Shipu Bus East Station 🚌 with a journey time of 🕐3.5h and a fare of 💰115r, then take a taxi to 📍Shipu Land Island Passenger Transport Center to take a boat (about 15 minutes, 12-18 yuan) 🚗 For self-driving, set your destination to 'Shipu Land Island Passenger Transport Center', about 3 hours' drive - 🚢 Ferry Ticket Booking Tips 🌟 The number of people allowed on the island each day is limited, book 1-2 days in advance during the off-season and one week in advance during the peak season ☎️ at the pier 🌟 One-way ticket price for a speedboat is 220r/1.5h, arrive at the pier 0.5h early to provide your mobile number and pay for the outbound ticket 🌟 Return ticket information will be sent by the shipping company via SMS the night before, and the schedule is usually 24 hours after landing on the island. - ✅ How to Enjoy the Island Yushan Island is very small, a full circle is just 5km, walk around to explore and spend a leisurely 24 hours. - ✅ My Suggested Itinerary: 🌟D1 After checking into the homestay in the afternoon, rest for a while, then walk around the island counterclockwise (fishing village - hydrological station - Immortal Bridge - lighthouse - Xiao'ao Bay), watch the sunset and have seafood dinner with the evening glow, after 22:00 go to the big lawn to stargaze and try your luck to see the blue tears 🌟D2 Watch the sunrise and go back to sleep, go to the shore to enjoy the sea breeze and daydream, watch people fishing, digging for clams, picking conches, or swim in Xiao'ao Bay - 🏠 Accommodation & Dining 🌟 Room prices on the island vary with the season 🌟 Ferry tickets, tent rentals, and charter fishing can all be arranged through homestays, and upon arrival, staff will come to help with luggage on tricycles. 🚗 Homestays provide dining, with a standard meal costing 100r/person, and if there are few people, you can share a table to enjoy a more diverse seafood feast. - ✅ Other Tips 🌟 Speedboat trips are short and relatively stable, if you are prone to seasickness, take 💊 in advance 🌟 Accommodation conditions are generally basic, and there may be power restrictions during the day in peak season, so lower your expectations before going and bring your own toiletries. Be sure to choose a sunny day to go, as the sea is brilliantly blue and photogenic, and to avoid the risk of cancellations due to bad weather. 🌟 Be careful of reefs when swimming and fishing, and remember to bring a flashlight when going out at night. 🌟 Sun protection! Insect repellent! Bring your own snacks!

At five in the morning, I peddle sunrises on Yushan Island

They all say Going to the seaside is a romantic thing. I say The color of the sea reflects the color of the sky. I know very well that what's romantic is not the sea, it's us, feeling the sea breeze. 🌊 With the changing seasons, there's always a new story to look forward to. ⭐ Asia's number one sea fishing spot! An original and beautiful niche island! Flower seas! Lighthouses! Starry skies! Blue tears! Visiting can cure everything, the sea elephant mountain Shiyu Yushan Archipelago is worth it! ❓How to get to the island Currently, the passenger ferry has not resumed, and ferry tickets need to be booked in advance. Private fishing boats (500 yuan per adult for a round trip, about 3 hours, can be quite bumpy) ❓Accommodation on the island 1️⃣ You can choose a homestay, around 400-500 per room, with a first-line sea view single room. Open the window and you're at the pier. 22️⃣Camping sites are free, and tents can be rented on the island for 100 yuan each. We chose campsite number 3, where you can see the seaside sunrise by pulling back the curtains. ❓What to eat 🦞We chose 'Ai Village Homestay' with an average cost of 100 yuan per person! A table full of seafood feast! Super satisfying! Book your meal in advance, and the homestay owner will come to the pier with an electric cart to help with luggage! There are few developed shops and snack bars on the island, but A Cai's stir-fry grandma's seafood noodles and fried shrimp dumplings are still very good. ❓Bathing on the island You can go to Xiangshan Shangdao Hotel, 30 yuan per person, with hairdryers and sulfur soap. Islanders go to bed early, so it's recommended to shower before 8 pm. ❓Playing in the water The water quality in the bay is average, and all my companions got stung by jellyfish... You can bring your own paddleboard/kayak to go diving 1.2km away. 💢💢💢 1. Definitely do not eat late-night snacks at Shipu Pier❗️ The 30 yuan yellow croaker is not worth savoring💢 2. Be sure to take sun protection measures when playing in the water! It's easy to get sunburned❗️ 3. There are many mosquitoes on the island, it is recommended to wear long pants and long sleeves at night❗️ 4. If you get seasick, be sure to take seasickness medicine one hour before boarding the boat❗️

Asia's number one fishing spot

🎣 Yushan Island, Asia's number one fishing spot, attracts a large number of sea fishing enthusiasts every year who come to charter boats for fishing. It's simply a paradise for sea anglers. At the same time, it is also a hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts, camping by the sea and watching the sunrise, it's incredibly romantic. 🐡 The entire island is very primitive, almost without any commercialization. There are only a few guesthouses to choose from, the conditions are very basic, it is recommended to bring disposable bedding, and be prepared for the air conditioning to break down and sudden power outages. Meals on the island are generally included with the accommodation, a seafood feast for about 8 people, drinks and alcohol are slightly higher than normal prices. 🏝 The entire island is very small, it can be walked around in about 2 to 3 hours. The more special attractions on the island are the Far East's first lighthouse, Xianren Bridge and Tiger Head Reef. The sunrise on the island is the most beautiful scene that I think should not be missed, the entire sky is a mix of pink and blue, it's incredibly beautiful. Be sure to determine the location of the sunrise in advance. 🐟 In addition, it is highly recommended to experience sea fishing here, the feeling of sitting and fishing is incredibly cool. The cost of fishing at sea seems to be different for each family, it is recommended to contact the guesthouse owner in advance, there are also fishing gear for rent on the island.

I have visited more than 10 islands, and Yushan Island is still my top 1 in my heart

Yushan Island is a secluded island, with a daily limit of no more than 500 people on the island, so you don't have to worry about crowding, just afraid that you can't book a ticket in the peak season... Reasons for recommending Yushan: ⭐ Crystal clear jelly sea: There is no bluer sea in Zhejiang than Yushan! ⭐ Beautiful lighthouse: The largest lighthouse in the Far East, red and white, you can go directly to the bottom of the lighthouse. ⭐ Blue tears that often appear in summer: No need to go to the crowded Pingtan next door, this is also one of the most concentrated places for blue tears in China. ⭐ Sunrise, sunset, starry sky, sea of flowers, camping... No light pollution, you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye! There are special camping sites and sunrise viewing platforms. ⭐ Asia's first fishing ground: Freshly caught seafood is original. ⭐ No commercial development, pristine island: Don't worry about being slaughtered. ⭐ The island is not large, it takes more than an hour to walk around the island, and all the scenery is on the road.

Buy a bus to "Shipu" at Ningbo South Station After arriving at Shipu Passenger Transport Center, navigate 👉🏻 Wharf: Shipu Water Passenger Transport Center, you can take a taxi or bus, about four or five kilometers away. 🚘 Drive directly to the wharf, Shipu Water Passenger Transport Center. 🎫 Island ticket: There is no online ticket purchase method for Yushan Island ❶ Arrive at the pier in advance and buy the island ticket at the pier (only applicable in the off-season, you can't book it in the peak season). ❷ Entrust the boss of the guest house/hotel to help book the ticket, you must book a few days in advance in the peak season. ❸ Charter a boat, 200/person/single trip 🚢 Speedboat: 440/person/round trip, 1.5h to arrive, generally will not get seasick, if the sea wind is strong, it will stop sailing, only slow boat. 🚢 Slow boat: 320/person/round trip, 2.5h to arrive, easy to get seasick, if the sea wind is strong, it is like a pirate ship (I once sat on the deck holding the railing yue, the sea water came up and soaked all over). Food and accommodation suggestions: ✔ Don't have any expectations for the accommodation environment on Yushan Island, the environment of the guest house and the guest house is almost the same, it is not easy to transport resources on the sea, and there is not much tourism development. ✔ In summer, try to choose a hotel with air conditioning. The island is humid, and air conditioning can dehumidify. ✔ Most hotels can rent tents, about 100/top, and there are also tent campsites on the island (free of charge). ✔ Generally choose to eat in the hotel, 300-500/person, including accommodation, three meals a day, the food is very good! Authentic Ningbo seafood cooking method. ❣️Tips: ① Mosquito repellent is essential. ② If you need seasickness medicine, prepare it. ③ There is no beach on the island, only a wild rocky beach. ④ If you want to experience sea fishing, just contact the owner of the guest house ⑤ May-September is the closed fishing season, and friends who want to eat ocean seafood should not run in vain.

Facing the Ocean, Spring and Blossom. It is not as famous as the East Island. It is not as quiet as the island, but it has a gorgeous mountain flower, blue water, and a cliff-like reef. It is like a paradise. You can sit here and watch the sunrise and sunset and enjoy the Milky Way. Here, I can meet the wind and feel the poem. She is located in Yushan Islands, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City. Yushan Island can satisfy all your imaginations about Haizi: In May, many unknown wildflowers competed along the winding coastline, facing the sea, and the spring blossoms were so within reach. The flowers here echo the sea, and the floral group swayed with the sea breeze in the light of the sun, adding a quiet, elegant temperament.
