It's stunningâźď¸ It's really recommended to stay at Gree Hotel with kids, the environment is good, comfortable, and there's a diamond beach with very fine natural sand on the basement level, free for guests to playâźď¸ You can also go sea fishing, jet skiing, and other sea activities
đď¸ Keyu Resort Hotel's Crescent Ring
Climb up the mountain trail behind Gree Hotel, there's a super large moon that's very photogenic, and you can overlook the entire island's beauty
đď¸ Wanmi Bookstore
A sea island bookstore themed 'Wedding Love', it looks like an accordion from the outside, and it's beautiful both inside and out
đď¸ Honeymoon Pavilion Chapel
Honeymoon Pavilion is a pure white chapel, climbing up you can overlook the beauty of Dong'ao Island and enjoy the beautiful sunset
đď¸ Nansha Bay Beach
It's a bit far, but if you have the stamina, it's recommended to go. It's the most famous beach swimming spot in the Wanshan Archipelago, and there are historical sites such as ancient sand dune sites from the Xia and Shang dynasties, and Dong'ao Island Gun City built during the Qianlong era of the Qing dynasty
ăLemon Mom's little tipă
â ď¸ Prices on the island are high, you can bring some snacks
â ď¸ Be sure to prepare sunscreen, it's really super sunny on the island, and bring a power bank, as I didn't find shared power banks on the island
â ď¸ Remember to check the weather before going out, wind and rain can cause big waves, and may cancel the trip
â ď¸ If you are prone to motion sickness, be sure to bring motion sickness patches, as the boat can be quite swaying
In the end, I want to say, the blue-green sea is just too beautifulâźď¸ I want to come againâźď¸

Dong'ao Island | A Lesser-Known Romantic Island for Spring Sea Viewing and Flower Admiring
Weather may vary, but the seađ never fails to show up.
This time, heading out to sea towards Dong'ao Island, we didn't catch good weather, and the journey was rough with the waves tossing us about. My companions were seasick, while I felt as comfortable as if I were sleeping in my mother's cradle, probably because I was a daughter of the seađ§ in a past life.
The sea on a rainy day looks somewhat gloomy and stern (all thanks to filtersđ), but there's a primitive and solitary beauty to it. The natural beauty of Nansha Bay, Dazhu Bay, and the forest plank road is still worth seeing. The pure white triangular wedding chapel, Honeymoon Pavilion, and Crescent Ring are still striving to create a sweet atmosphere of love.
Many places on the island are still under construction, but the hotel and B&B facilities are already quite complete. We booked a panoramic glass sea view room on the mountain, and the view was great, it's just a pity we didn't see the sunriseđ
Dining options are concentrated near the pier, where you can choose ingredients at the seafood market and have them cooked at a restaurant. We bought lobsters and razor clams that were quite good, but the cream crabs this season had very little cream and were not tasty, and the prices were very flexibleđ. There are also bookstores and coffee shops nearby, perfect for whiling away the time.
The only means of transportation on the island is the yellow sightseeing car, which departs on the hour and half-hour, with multiple routes, and costs 10 yuan everywhere, which is not very convenient. I hope there will be shared electric scooters in the future.
