Gouqi Island’s Mountain and Sea Wonders

After checking into our local guest house on Gouqi Island, it was time to go and explore! A coastal hiking route was recommended to us, a path that meandered from our guest house up to a hilltop that took us about an hour to make our way, leisurely, up to a stunning viewpoint where we could overlook The Aquatic Farm. You could easily just perch on the stone benches here to watch the sun set over this stunning landscape, but we actually continued our hike up to the very top of the hill. Up at the top, we had this incredible panoramic view of the island and of The Aquatic Farm from a further distance, and tucked behind a part of hilltop temple is where we sat to watch the sun set. If you're in need of a refreshment while up there, there is also a cute little coffee shop where all the KOLs flock to take photos in front of it's popular yellow walls.

On the coastal roads, there are very few vehicles. There are all kinds of new and old fishing nets, floats and fishing boats piled up on the roadside. The fishermen who encounter labors from time to time; the workers are decorating the seaside bunkhouses in the off-season, and it is sure to be in the peak season and a beautiful scenery. The sea is in the direction of the sea. It is a star-shaped fishing boat. The Sanjiao River Bridge is not far away, connecting the islands of Luang and Lushan. The fishermen's life is like a coastal road, simple and pure, but full of scenery. The coast presents a completely different form. The power of nature, the waves of the millennium, the sturdy cliffs can penetrate, turning the coast into such awkward appearance. Shanhai Wonders Even the temples, stone monuments, pavilions, and forts constitute a scenic spot. At this time, there are no tourists. We have become the only one waiting for the sunset. The cliffs surrounding the wonders of the mountains and seas are now fenced, which is relatively safe. The turret not far away is also a good place to enjoy the sunset and the stars at night. The more the evening is approaching, the wind is getting more and more sturdy. The wonders of the mountains and seas are unobstructed on the top, just hiding in the fort. Avoid the wind in the fence.

The cliffs of Dongya are a prime spot for sunrise
