East Pole Island Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Zhoushan | Dongji Island "Palace of Potala on the Sea"
Miaozihu Island is the main island of Dongji Town and also the largest one. It has complete living facilities. The homestay restaurants are built according to the island, and they are in order. Looking from the shooting location of 'See You Again', it really has the flavor of the Palace of Potala on the sea. It is also the only island with sightseeing cars. See the map of the island at the end. The sightseeing car departs from the passenger terminal and the main attractions in order of stops:
1️⃣Dongxiang Pavilion: There is a Beixi Wharf down the road which is closer to the sea, but there are only rocky cliffs here without a beach.
2️⃣Dongji Pavilion: The best choice for watching the sunrise early in the morning, the scenery here is excellent. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the homestay.
3️⃣The shooting location of 'See You Again': The place where the house in the movie was burned down, now it's a rebuilt cafe.
4️⃣Statue of Cai Bo Gong: This statue also appeared in the movie.
5️⃣Internet-famous Lighthouse: You can get there by going down from the statue of Cai Bo Gong, people usually come to drive you away around 5:30. Take photos as early as possible.
6️⃣Attractions reachable by walking: Dongji History Museum, The Second Hometown of Soldiers, etc. There are also some cultural and creative shops for you to explore.
🏠Accommodation: The higher the location of the homestay, the better the view, and the higher the price. The air on the island is humid, the air conditioner needs to be dehumidified, and even the camera is foggy the next day
🍤Food: Mainly seafood, the taste is similar, just choose one with a good view and a reasonable price. There are many bars and barbecues at night.
🎫Sightseeing car ticket: 88RMB/person, from morning to around five in the afternoon. You can get on the bus at every stop of the loop line.
📍Drones: Unlimited, but do not approach the military base.
Named by National Geographic as the most beautiful island in China, how amazing is it? 💯‼️

Dongfushan Island Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Dongfushan Island - Zhoushan
It’s said that it’s the first island in China to see the sunrise.
Firstly, it’s absolutely tiring to reach the island. 🥱We take High-speed Rail from Shanghai to Ningbo, then take bus from Ningbo to Shenjiamen, then ferry from Shenjiamen to Dongji Island, then another ferry to Dongfushan Island. It takes almost a day.😔
It’s a very natural island, except for a large number of homestays, there are few traces of commercialization, especially compared to Dongji Island. There’s no takeout service on the island. Barbecue and seafood are all over the island. And they are all cheap and delicious. But it’s not easy to find a drink store, even a supermarket. And all these snacks and drinks are expensive because it really takes some energy to send these products to the island.
There’re no high buildings, only small hills, so it’s easy to see the sunset on the balcony of the room. And also they don’t even have much streetlights at night. So when walking down the road at night, you could hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks on one side, and the big shadow of the mountains on the other side. Even not much people on the road.
It’s a beautiful place that you could touch the true nature and be quite to yourself. But you may feel a little bit boring after several days there haha.
A summer retreat to watch the sunrise on the Zhoushan Islands
On the easternmost edge of Dongji Island in Zhoushan, there is Dongfushan Island. Dongfushan Island is about 65.4 kilometers away from the nearest land, nearly a 2-hour voyage. Here, the summer is caressed by sea breezes, shrouded in mist, with stone-stacked houses appearing and disappearing in the fog, and the temperature is pleasant, making it a summer retreat in Zhejiang.
Attractions recommendation:
It is recommended to hike around the island, which took me about 5 hours alone.
Watch the sunrise from the big rock at the pier, where you can see the earliest sunrise at the easternmost point of China, so before 5 am, many people are already positioning themselves to watch the sunrise.
Dining: You can try the local seafood noodles, small abalone soup, mussels, and other seafood. The cost per person starts at 50 yuan.
Dongfushan Island is small, retaining its original ecology
Ferry: You can take a boat from Zhujiajian Pier in Zhoushan to Miaozihu Pier, and then transfer to a small boat to Dongfushan Island. The ferry has upper, middle, and lower decks; the lower deck does not have a sea view, but you can go up to the deck. The total cost starts at about 180 yuan, and the journey takes about 3 hours. There is only one round trip per day, so you need to stay on the island for at least one night.
Accommodation: There are many homestays on the island, starting at 200 yuan. It is recommended to stay close to the pier, which is also convenient for watching the sunrise.
Tips: The sea is rough and bumpy from Miaozihu to Dongfushan, so be prepared with motion sickness medicine.
There are many snakes, rodents, ants, and mosquitoes on the island, so be sure to bring mosquito repellent and other protections.

Dongji Island, waiting for you to explore this blue dreamy ocean world!🌊🌴🏝️
The completely undeveloped Qingbang Island - worth a visit
So authentic a seaside island, yet 80% of people still don't know about it!
This is Dongji Town's Qingbang Island.
Of those who have been to Dongji Island, 80% are unaware of this little island 'Qingbang Island'. Half of it is a quiet old fishing village, and the other half is the essence of island life, without too much commercial atmosphere, with cheap prices and accommodation. Since the houses are built on the island in layers, it is also known by netizens as the 'Sea Potala Palace'.
Wake up in the morning to watch the sunrise, have a good breakfast and take a walk along the seaside of the island. By noon, have a big seafood meal at the 'Seaside Flavor' restaurant, where you can have any seafood you want at a very affordable price, and the seafood is really good and fresh.
For accommodation, go to the 'Xin'an Hui' guesthouse, where each room faces the sea, with sea view rooms, clean and sanitary, enthusiastic service, and affordable prices, making it worth staying.
In the afternoon, you can have a coffee, watch the sea, and zone out for a bit.
At night, have a drink at the small bar, listen to music, and enjoy the atmosphere here.
Dongji has a rich and simple fisherman's character, as well as breathtaking scenery, almost monopolizing the real sense of sunshine, blue sea, reefs, and sea flavor. The climate is pleasant, the water is clear, and it is a rare place of purity. Here the sea changes all year round, calm surpassing Hangzhou's West Lake, flat as a plain; when angry, it rivals the Qiantang River's autumn tide, with waves crashing against the shore.
Transportation route: Zhoushan currently has no train station. To get to Zhoushan, you can first take a train to Ningbo, then take a bus from Ningbo to Zhoushan, and from Zhujiajian take a boat to the small island you want to visit.
Cuisine: The earliest saying about Dongji was: 'In Dongji, everything but humans is wild,' showing the freshness of Dongji seafood. The seafood here is fresh because it is caught from the sea and quickly becomes a delicacy on your table.
Accommodation: The unified checkout time for guesthouses on the island is 9 am in the morning.

On Qinglan Island, there is an inn called the East Pole 30 degrees north latitude.
Located in the old street (the center of Qinglan Island) not far from the pier, walk for 5 minutes, don't worry about getting lost, because the innkeeper will come to the dock to pick up every guest and take our luggage enthusiastically.
The proprietress is a post-90s girl who is more literary than the name of the inn. This beautiful and quiet young lady resigned from Ningbo and returned to her hometown. She built this warm hut in front of me with her own hands. The style of the
inn is the favorite of young people today. On the first floor is the restaurant and reception room. The rich Mediterranean style makes me feel the temperament in the hot summer. The inn aunt burned a good dish, the price of the dish was reasonable, the dishes were varied, and the three meals a day were appropriate.
Each room upstairs has a nice name: Mu He Mo Shanghua, green cut petals autumn, green loose couch, half summer to the end and so on. We lived in Muhe Mo, the room had a bunk bed, and I stayed with Mr. R just right (we rushed to sleep on the shop) only 180 yuan during the Dragon Boat Festival, other room types ranging from 200-400, can be described Super value super conversion!
The room is unified and simple, clean and tidy, bringing the warmth of home to our journey.
The inn also has a mysterious reservation project - Fluorescent Sea! If there is a fluorescent sea that night, Miss Sister will gather every resident of the inn and lead the team to the beach to enjoy the dreamy blue tears.
The mighty team, talking and laughing all the way, everyone walks through the dim small streets like a big family.
Qingdao Island is the smallest island in the development of the East Pole Island, the quietest, the most simple folk customs, and the most beautiful mystery in my mind.
Walking on the island, I seem to understand why this gentle and kind Jiangnan girl resigned and returned to this island.

Fantasy-like Siqi Archipelago
👀Take a look at this dreamy island in China.
Siqi Archipelago has always been a destination I long for🎈.
It is the real-life version of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda🧐,
It is the sheer cliffs standing in the middle of the sea😮,
It is the uninhabited island where solitude and romance coexist💕.
The constant washing sound of the waves seems to tell the millennia of vicissitudes of this land😌.
📍Siqi Archipelago, Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province.
🚃Take the high-speed train to Xiapu Station - 🚗Rent a car to Jishi Wharf/🚖Take a taxi - 🚢From Jishi Wharf to Beisi Island - 🛶From Beisi Island to Bird Island.
▪️Cars can be parked at the wharf, super convenient for round trips😎.
▪️Jishi to Beishuang Island one way ¥80, return ¥100, if time allows, it's recommended to stay for a few more days! Dongsi and Beisi Islands are super beautiful🤩.
▪️Follow the big boat ¥70 for a 1h stay, charter a boat ¥600-¥1200 for a 4h stay.
🚗If you want to visit Qida Village and Dongbi Village together, you can refer to this:
❶Arrive in Fuzhou - 1.5h - Lianjiang Qida Village - 2.5h - Xiapu Dongbi Village.
❷Explore Dongbi Village - Light and Shadow Walkway - Seaside Path leading to the sea - 1.2h - Gaoluo Beach.

Important tips‼️‼️:
Do not miss the main island of Beisi Island when you come to Siqi Archipelago, 99.9% of tourists will head straight to Dongsi Island and Bird Island😅.
🤩Tips from someone who's been there:
❶Do not wait until you arrive to find a homestay😣.
▪️Contact a homestay on Beisi Island before arriving on the island, and confirm that the host can guide you around the main island. Recommended Siqi Archipelago Qianyu Homestay or Yujian Homestay, the owner is a local, knows a lot of beautiful places, is very enthusiastic, and the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows with direct sea views😍.
▪️Upon arrival at Beisi Island port from Jishi Wharf, the homestay will arrange for a car pickup.
❷If you have photography needs, don't just follow the big boat to the island! Dongsi and Bird Islands only stay for one hour, which is very rushed😒. It is recommended to make arrangements with homestay partners or start making arrangements with partners on the scheduled boat, and charter a boat together in the afternoon! The scheduled boat costs 600-1200! A single person takes the big boat for ¥70! Chartering together is very cost-effective and you can play for the entire afternoon! If the weather is good, you can also chase a sunset at sea (so important‼).
❸Don't just stay for one day, come and go in a hurry, and have a cursory look.
▪️Do not think that you have finished playing after visiting Dongsi Island and Bird Island and leave the island at 8:30 the next day! The next day, let the homestay host take you to play on the main island.
❶Explore the military fortresses and air-raid shelters left from the year 66.67.
❷Look for cows and sheep on the island🐏.
❸Visit the particularly majestic sea cliffs.
❹Explore the very deep sea erosion caves! You can even find sea urchins there🦪.
❺Be sure to walk through Stone Slope, the most beautiful fishing village.
