Encounter Mountains, Encounter Seas - A Leisure Trip to Xiushan
Address: Daishan County, Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China.
Xiushan Island, as the name suggests, is known for its beautiful landscapes. The island features many peculiar peaks and rocks with vivid shapes. Especially noteworthy is the Shurenyan Stone Forest, with its myriad forms. During storms, the surging waves crash against the rocks, creating a spectacular scene.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the great scholar Su Dongpo wrote the famous lines here: 'Lan Mountain sways, Xiushan dances, little white peach blossoms half bloom and half hide,' which speaks to the beauty of the scenery. It takes only 20 minutes by boat from Sanjiang Wharf to reach Xiushan Island. The island boasts a comfortable climate, beautiful scenery, beaches, cliffs, and fishing villages. The basic facilities are also quite good. Staying in a fisherman's house, sitting on the beach daydreaming, and having seafood for lunch is indeed very relaxing.
The only century-old ancient fishing town in China, tranquil and healing, a true slice of life
Dongsha Ancient Town is located on Daishan Island, and it is the only century-old island fishing town in 🇨🇳. Unlike the bustling lights of Wuzhen, this place is filled with the scent of the ocean, surrounded by the sea on three sides, warm and blooming in spring, tranquil and free~ The ancient town is not large, it can even be called small, with old buildings and cobblestone roads intertwined. Every corner is a treasure left by the old Daishan people.

Daishan Island—Dreamy Dawn by the Sea
Daishan Island|Dreamy Dawn|The Meaning of Landscape Photography||I guess no landscape photographer would refuse a dreamy dawn. Although I set off at 3 a.m. for two consecutive days, the moment I sat on the cliff, quietly watching the sun slowly peek out from the end of the sea and the sky bursting with infinite light, I felt that everything was worth it. Only the lens can forever capture this moment. This is the meaning of landscape photography. In a lifetime, one can encounter various sceneries. What I can do is to record these scenes with my camera.
Quoting a passage from my favorite landscape photographer, links:
"No matter which camera you are using, I sincerely suggest you go out and see this beautiful world, appreciate the sunrises and sunsets you haven't gazed at for a long time, and the starry skies and brilliant galaxies rarely seen in the city. Press the shutter, capture the beautiful scenery you see, and record the people and things you care about. Only then do the camera's settings gain true meaning."
Lulan Qing Sha Beach is the longest beach in the East China region
It is also one of the 'Ten Scenic Spots of Penglai' formed since the QC period. The mountain on the north side of the beach is called 'Lulan Mountain,' also known as Shie Mountain. A large stretch of beach lies at the foot of the mountain, hence the name 'Lulan Qing Sha.'
Coming to Lulan Qing Sha, one will always be healed by the vast and magnificent sea, as if stepping into a poetic and picturesque painting. Listening closely to the sound of each wave hitting the shore, one becomes intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of them amidst infinite reverie. When spring arrives and flowers bloom, I wish to meet my friends at the seaside once again, walking on the beach and flying kites of our dreams.

The main exhibition hall is a two-story building modeled after the Portland Lighthouse in the USA.
The first floor is the exhibition hall, and the second floor has a lighthouse leisure bar and a simulated driving room (which was not open when I visited).
Besides the main venue, if you go out and walk along Xinghe Road towards the seaside,
you can see 7 famous lighthouses from different countries and with different architectural styles!
Every so often, you can see a lighthouse built in the middle of the road's median strip, modeled after France's Amédée Lighthouse, Germany's Pelworm Lighthouse, Canada's Cove Lighthouse, Norway's Kavert Lighthouse, South Africa's Robben Lighthouse, Uruguay's Colonel Lighthouse, and the USA's Portland Lighthouse.
The lighthouse at the end of Xinghe Road by the sea has a white tower body,
a grey-blue top, and yellow doors and windows,
combined with the clear sky by the sea, it's very fresh and clean!
The best spot to take pictures of the main exhibition hall is the green lawn outside the hall.
Stand on one side of the lawn to shoot the main exhibition hall, with the green grass, white tower, and blue sky,
it feels like a fresh and clean wallpaper~

Dai Mountain, known as the 'Penglai of the Sea'
Dai Mountain was historically called the 'Penglai of the Sea', and during the Qin Dynasty, Xu Fu once led three thousand boys and girls to the island in search of an elixir of immortality for Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
On December 29, 2021, the Zhoudai Bridge opened to traffic, ending the island's isolation from the mainland, and it has recently become a hot tourist spot!
Taking advantage of the May Day holiday, I also drove to the island to join in the excitement!
First of all, the 28-kilometer-long Zhoudai Sea-Crossing Bridge is indeed spectacular, and one cannot help but admire the divine power of our country's construction fanatics!
Secondly, Dai Mountain's tourism resources are indeed abundant, with attractions like the Sea Cape Park, Moxin Mountain, and the blue and white town (Oriental Santorini) all having their own unique characteristics. The 'Lulan Qingsha' beach stretches for 3.6 kilometers and is known as the 'No.1 Beach in East China', which is breathtaking!
Thirdly, the Dongsha ancient town is open for free during festivals, and they even specially invited a well-known band to hold a live concert, with an excellent level of performance and dedication, which was an unexpected surprise!

The museum was established in 2005, housing the past maritime anecdotes and stories. Each lighthouse here gives us a sense of romance,
not only guiding the lost ships but also lighting up the belief of the people returning home. The brightest lighthouse, in the direction of home!

Day1️⃣: Salon Beach - Coastal Highway - Liangzhi Fashion Fishing Village - Coastal Plank Road
Day22️⃣: Windmill Kingdom - Guanyin Mountain - Green Fairy Tale
✅Salon Beach
The water is clear and the sand is white; this is an ideal place for sea bathing. Crabs and seashells are hidden among the rocks, and with some luck, you might encounter blue tears.
✅Coastal Highway
From Salon Beach to Liangzhi Fashion Fishing Village, there is a beautiful seaside road. You can rent an electric scooter to ride around the island and enjoy the breeze.
✅Liangzhi Fashion Fishing Village
Facing the sea with the Windmill Kingdom at its back, the village has coffee and artistic shops. In the evening, the dazzling lights reflect off the white walls, and artistic singers perform on the beach. It's very pleasant to eat barbecue in the sea breeze.
✅Coastal Plank Road
Next to Liangzhi Fishing Village, on the side of the island's mountain, is the most beautiful coastal plank road on Qiushan Island. The mountain is on the left and the sea on the right, making it a great spot to watch the sunrise.
✅Windmill Kingdom
There's no need to go to Pingtan; Qiushan Island also has an amazing wind power viewing platform. It's just a twenty-minute walk from the small path of Liangzhi Fashion Fishing Village. Once you reach the platform, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire island. This is also the best spot to watch the sunrise and sunset at sea, and you can camp on the mountain.

Not only is this the highest mountain on Qiushan Island, but it is also the sister mountain of Putuo Mountain. The Jade Buddha Pagoda on the mountain stands like a sharp sword at the summit of Guanyin Mountain. From the top, you have a broad view, and the salt fields are in sight.
✅Green Fairy Tale (Abandoned Village)
The last stop on the way back, near the pier, is an abandoned village. Old buildings have become a paradise for ivy and various green plants, creating a green fairy tale world.
‼️The village has many mosquitoes, and the paths are overgrown with weeds. It's recommended to view from a distance and not to venture too deep.
🏠Accommodation: If you want to watch the sunrise, you can stay in Liangzhi Fashion Fishing Village, where there are many homestays. However, the environment is generally basic. If you're not planning to watch the sunrise, you can stay in the town, where the environment is much better.
😋Food: Seafood noodles, seafood barbecue, fried shrimp cakes

Quzhou Island, the second largest island in Zhejiang, hides a secret wonderland of green fields
After paying homage to the 'Buddha Country of the Sea and Sky' Putuo Mountain, this year we will look for a less crowded island in the Zhoushan Archipelago to calm our minds. Thus, Quzhou Island became our destination.
Although Quzhou Island is the earliest inhabited island in the Zhoushan Archipelago, it is not crowded with tourists, which does not prevent it from being hailed as one of the most beautiful island towns in China.
The natural scenery on the island is unique and charming, and it also hides Guanyin Mountain, known as the 'Second Buddha Country of the East Sea'. Almost all the attractions on the island are free, and transportation is very convenient. Walking, dazing, tasting local seafood on Quzhou Island makes the leisurely summer even more comfortable.
Guanyin Mountain, a fairyland in the middle of the sea.
As the fifth largest island in the Zhoushan Archipelago, Quzhou Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides and is known as the 'Thoroughfare'. The Qu Port on the island was once the main fishing ground for large yellow croaker.
Guanyin Mountain is an excellent place to overlook the beautiful scenery of Quzhou Island. It is not only the highest point on the island, but also the highest peak in Daishan County. Standing on the Jade Buddha Pagoda of Guangji Temple, you can feel the clouds surging and the sun bathing in the sea.
The green fields, the original fishing village hidden on the cliff.
Those who have been to Shengsi Island will definitely be amazed by the green houses full of ivy in the uninhabited village. In fact, there is such a green scene on Quzhou Island. The houses in Dashui Village, located in the southwest corner of Quzhou Island, are built on the top or halfway up the mountain. The green plants grow in a twisted and twisted way, adding a sense of desolation.
Sunrise and sunset, Liangzhi Village in the north is the best viewing spot. Almost all the houses in the village are built by the sea. Living here, you can see the sun rising from the sea at the earliest. There are many homestays and farmhouses here, with moderate prices.
Salt Township Farm Life, leisurely.
In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, Quzhou Island is also known as the 'Tribute Salt Township' since the Song Dynasty. The salt fields under Guanyin Mountain form a unique landscape on the island.
The villagers live a peaceful life of sunrise and sunset. At night, tourists also join in the local seafood feast. Choose fresh seafood at the food stalls, or find a farmhouse to process it, and you can taste delicious dishes.
Fish jerky platter is the local people's first choice of food, and it is also a must-have dish for Zhoushan New Year's Eve dinner. Belt fish is one of the four special seafood products of Quzhou Island fishing ground. The villagers have strict requirements for the catching time. It is said that the belt fish caught in the late tide is more delicious.
Transportation guide: From Shanghai, you can take a boat or car ferry to Xiaoyangshan Passenger Terminal.
