Ji Ming Island Round-Island Tour: An Hour of Essence and Regret

Ji Ming Island Round-Island Tour: An Hour of Essence and Regret 🌊 A Rushed Trip to Ji Ming Island That day, when I arrived at the Ji Ming Island visitor center, it was already 11 am. The news that I had to leave the island by 2 pm caught me off guard, as the website clearly stated 4 pm was the latest. But reality is always so merciless. The next ferry was at 12 pm, and subtracting the round-trip ferry time, we only had a little over an hour to wander around. Just as I was hesitating and ready to give up, the ticket checker's words made up my mind—the sea would be rough the next day, and there was a high chance of ferry cancellations. If I missed this opportunity, I might have to leave with regrets. 🚢 Boarding the Island and the Round-Island Tour Ji Ming Island can only be reached by ferry, with a round-trip ticket costing a total of 128 yuan. The island is not large, but for tourists like us who are pressed for time, it's enough to explore its essence. The round-island tour is the best choice, allowing us to visit every scenic spot without retracing our steps. Walking up the rainbow stairs, passing through the ancient trees of blessings, and then continuing upwards on the right, several viewing platforms appear in succession, each an excellent spot for taking photos. 🏡 The Little Fishing Village and Delicacies Not far above the rainbow stairs is the little fishing village. It's filled with the ambiance of the island, and we chose to tour in a clockwise direction, taking the opportunity to taste the local seafood at a small village shop, replenishing our energy and experiencing the local flavor. ☕ The Cliffside Cafe and Feeding Seagulls at the Stern If time permits, I highly recommend visiting the cliffside cafe to check in; the scenery there is as unforgettable as the coffee. Unfortunately, due to our tight schedule, we couldn't make it. However, the experience of feeding seagulls at the stern was also very enjoyable. Prepare some bread or sausages in advance, interact closely with the seagulls, take photos for memories—all of these made the trip even more unforgettable. 👶 A Special Experience of Island Touring with a Baby I experienced this island rush with a 5-month-old baby. Although the time was tight, this experience made us feel all the more special. The baby's smile and curious gaze became the most beautiful scenery of the trip. 🌞 Conclusion and Expectation After disembarking, we went to an art cafe for a short rest, and the coolness of the sparkling water instantly revived me. Although the trip was a bit rushed, every moment was filled with surprises and emotions. If I had more time, I would definitely come back to savor the charm of this little island slowly.
