The travel guide for Gouqi Island: 1. Day one: The whole day is spent on the road. It takes 4 hours by bus from Hangzhou to Sanjiang Wharf, 2 hours by boat from Sanjiang Wharf to Jiaosijiao Wharf, and 4 hours by boat from Jiaosijiao Island to Gouqi Island. Bus and boat tickets can be purchased on the WeChat public account 'Shengsi Tourism'. On the island, there are only buses and taxis, with taxis starting at 50 yuan, and no self-driving or riding scooters is allowed. For accommodation, you can choose a homestay on Gouqi Island with a sea view. 2. Day two: At 5:30 am, head to the cliffs of Dongya on Shengshan Island to watch the sunrise (admission 50 yuan). This cliff is even further east than Dongji Island and is the best spot for watching the sunrise. At 3 pm, go to the uninhabited village on Shengshan Island (admission 60 yuan), where houses surrounded by ivy face the sea, resembling a fairy-tale village from 'The Wizard of Oz'. It is recommended to wear red or white clothes for photos. At 5:30 pm, go to the mountain and sea spectacle to watch the sunset. From a high vantage point, you can see the returning fishing boats and the orange sea at sunset, which is a beautiful sight. 3. Day three: Sleep until you wake up naturally and watch the sea from the homestay. At 4 pm, head to Dawang Beach (avoiding the sun), where the admission is 25 yuan. The beach here is soft and fine, making it great for photos. After Dawang Beach, walk back to the homestay along the Rainbow Road. If time permits, you can also visit Huaniao Island for a few days. In addition, Gouqi Island also has attractions worth visiting such as Longquan Beach, Longquan Village, Dayu Bay Beach, Dongya Cliffs, and the fishing port wharf. The cliffs of Dongya are a suitable place for shooting sunrise. Located at the easternmost point of Shengshan Island and also the easternmost point of the Zhoushan Archipelago, they rise dozens of meters high, stretch for thousands of meters, and extend straight into the sea, where the waves crash against the shore, creating 'thousands of piles of snow'. The Yuen Bao stones here are of various shapes and interesting, making them highly enjoyable to observe. There are also many cliff carvings dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties within the scenic area, with vigorous strokes, all from the hands of Ming Dynasty commanders such as Hou Jigao, military governor Zhang Wenzhi, and general Chen Mengdou. Ganxie Fishing Village Wharf is a suitable place for shooting sunset. It is one of the spots near Gouqi Island Wharf where you can watch the sunset and the sea ranch, with an observation deck. In addition, the mountain and sea spectacle is also a point where you can see the sea ranch and sunset, although the sunset is partially blocked by the mountains.
