I drove to Shenjiamen to play. It's a very good restaurant with a good environment. The dishes are served quickly and the taste is rich. I highly recommend it. There are 4 people who ordered a lot, so the average price per person is a bit higher.
Every time I go to Shenjiamen, I still choose Gaojiazhuang. If you go late, you have to queue up. But now you can make an appointment via WeChat. They will call you when you are in line. The service is very thoughtful. I won't say much about the dishes, just one word: great! The portion is also very large.

The first night we stayed in Longwan District, which was a homestay transformed from a farmer's self-built house. Next to the restaurant was a food stall style. The three of us spent 200 yuan (only one seafood dish was fried squid shreds). We felt that the food and environment were not good, and the price was high. The next day we decisively moved to Longsha and had a meal at Yuanzhi Yuanwei. It was really good. The environment and food were all good, and the service was very good. The three of us spent 220 yuan, including a serving of braised pork with abalone. We ate comfortably, so I recommend it, not a trust!
The dishes are relatively affordable and not much more expensive than the food stalls. In comparison, I would choose to eat the food here. The overall feeling is good! Clean! The dishes are also served quickly, especially the oysters. I ordered two, and when I wanted to add more dishes, they were closed... I'll come back the next day to make up for the regret!

It's not a very eye-catching noodle shop, but the noodles are really delicious and the seafood noodles are very fresh.
I drove 200 kilometers, crossed the cross-sea bridge, and came to the easternmost part of China, just for a bowl of authentic seafood noodles. The noodle shop is not very big, and there are only four or five tables inside, but the taste is really good. I ordered seafood fried rice noodles and a small yellow croaker noodle. The store will give you some other seafood and vegetables to match. The noodle soup couldn't be better.

I came here for tourism and saw recommendations online. Their seafood is big, sweet and fresh!
My first time in Putuoshan and Zhoushan.
I naively ate seafood 🦞
I realized that during the Buddhist festival, most people would eat mostly vegetarian food~
I was completely wrong. I'll just have to be a vegetarian next year 🥹
The crabs in Putuoshan are absolutely delicious! I ate at two restaurants, and they were all perfectly golden.
It's rare to find them outside! I really want to pack a few for the plane 😂
The prices aren't exactly cheap, but they're worth it! Anyway, the food in Putuoshan is very much to our liking 🪷
📍 Acheng Seafood (Putuoshan Branch)
Jinchao Restaurant (Putuoshan Branch)
These two restaurants are also must-try ⭕️

The taste is really delicious, the seafood is fresh, the boss is very enthusiastic, and he also gave peanuts, drinks, shrimps, and seaweed salad, which is especially good. The swimming crab is also very delicious, and children also like it.
I go to this restaurant to eat every year when I come to Putuo Mountain. The seafood is very fresh, it is very popular, the service is very enthusiastic, the dishes are served quickly, the processed seafood tastes very good, the stir-fried dishes are also delicious, and it is close to the Westin Hotel. Recommended!

Here's a travel guide to the Zhoushan Islands:
Best Time to Travel
• June-August: The waters are azure, perfect for swimming, water activities, and enjoying the beach. However, typhoons are possible, so check the weather forecast in advance.
• September-November: The weather is crisp and clear, seafood is delicious, and there are relatively few tourists, allowing for quiet island scenery.
• December-February: This is off-season, allowing you to experience authentic island customs, such as fishermen's New Year customs. However, the sea breeze can be strong, so be sure to dress warmly.
Recommended Attractions
• Putuo Mountain: One of China's four famous Buddhist mountains, it boasts renowned attractions such as Puji Temple and the Guanyin of the South China Sea, offering a rich experience of Buddhist culture. The beaches and ocean views of Baibusha are also captivating.
• Zhujiajian: Known as the "hometown of sand sculptures and a vacation paradise," Nansha is renowned for its sand sculptures. The Daqingshan Ring Road is a scenic drive ideal for sightseeing, and you can also catch some seafood at Dongsha Beach.
• Dongji Island: The filming location for the TV series "See You Tomorrow." The "See You Tomorrow" lighthouse on Miaozi Lake, the Potala Palace on Qingbang Island, and the sunrise and sea of clouds at Dongfu Mountain are all captivating attractions, allowing visitors to experience the vastness and tranquility of the ocean.

Recommended Dining

◦ Self-Driving: Driving from Shanghai, Ningbo, or other cities to Zhoushan, please pay attention to road conditions on the cross-sea bridge.
• Inter-Island Transportation
◦ Ferry: The main means of transportation between the islands of Zhoushan is by ferry. Tickets to Dongji Island must be purchased seven days in advance through the "Smart Travel Starfish" official account, and return tickets can be purchased one day in advance through the "Dongji Shipping" official account. Advance booking is also required for trips to Huaniao Island, Gouqi Island, and other islands.
◦ Helicopter: Travelers pressed for time can try the "Island Express" helicopter service, which provides quick access to some islands.
Notes
• Ferry tickets are very limited during peak season and holidays, so be sure to book in advance through official channels.
• Ultraviolet rays are strong on islands, so be sure to take sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing.
• If you feel seasick, prepare seasickness medicine in advance and bring extra jackets for protection from the wind on the boat.
• When consuming food at night stalls in Shenjiamen, choose stalls with clearly marked prices to avoid disputes.
• Some small islands have poor signal reception, so download an offline map in advance and prepare some cash.

Seafood Feast at Seafood Processing Shop Don't be fooled by the dining environment here, which is different from that of a five-star hotel. It feels like a food stall, and the most important thing is to eat it comfortably. Do you remember the various seafood you just bought at the First Market? Come on, here we will turn them into delicious dishes.

Super cost-effective seafood food stall! You can see all kinds of seafood in the store as soon as you enter the store! The boss is also sincere in doing business without tricks. The lobsters you buy are killed right in front of you, and they are all the same from the beginning to the end! [Taste] It is mainly boiled or steamed, and then served with scallion oil topping. The main feature is the original flavor of seafood!
I came out of Zhujiajian Wharf and took a bus to Shenjiamen, and found this restaurant. There was a set meal online, and the price was good, so I ordered it, and it didn't disappoint. The portion was large and the taste was good.

This is the most satisfying vegetarian restaurant on Mount Putuo. I mainly ate here during the two days in the mountains. The restaurant environment is very fresh and clean. I ordered many dishes, all of which tasted good, vegetarian and meaty, and the taste was also very good. The grilled eel can be seen as the bottom layer of seaweed, and the upper layer is not sure whether it is mashed potatoes or something, and it really has the fresh taste of the eel. The pork ribs and rice cakes are also very delicious, with a strong meat flavor and chewy rice cakes. Mapo tofu and curry pot are both very good dishes, and they are still very delicious without meat. The cabbage and chestnuts are original, relatively light, and have a sweet fragrance. The fried rice here is also very fragrant [naughty] I will come again in the future, and I guess this is the designated canteen.
This should be the best vegetarian restaurant on Putuoshan Island. The workmanship is very fine and the environment is also very elegant. The taste is very good. The overall feeling is very good, and the service level is also good. It's just that some dishes are too oily. My family is relatively comfortable eating, but I feel a little oily. Because we were worshipping Buddha, we didn't order those colored papers shaped like meat, but ordered some dishes that looked like vegetables themselves. The overall taste is still very good. It should be considered a very good restaurant on the island. Worth recommending,
