The best hidden gem island I've recommended so far
āI've been to over a dozen islands, big and small, but this one will always be my top pick!ā
Xiamen š Who else gets the joy of this bowlā¦
āWhen traveling to Xiamen, I stumbled upon the satay noodles that Nicholas Tse visited on Zhongshan Road!ā
Ten times quieter than Xiamen, seafood prices are only one-third of Qingdaoās
āNo need to go to Jeju Island or Santorini.ā
Seriously! Fujian's Zhangzhou actually hides such a treasure islandāDongshan Island. No crowds like Xiamen, and seafood prices are only 1/3 of Qingdao's. I just got back, but my heart is still in that glassy sea! š Transportation guide Take the high-speed train to Yunxiao Station. From the station, take a shared ride for CNY 30ā40 per person, direct in 30 minutes; or take bus 15 for CNY 10 per person, about 1 hour. You must rent an electric scooter on the island! CNY 50ā80 per day, super cool to ride around the island with the sea breeze. šļø 3-day, 2-night itinerary Ā· Day 1: Arrive ā stroll through Nanmen Bay Colorful Fishing Village ā watch the sunset from Wen Gong Temple rooftop (free!) ā eat oyster omelets at Tongling Night Market Ā· Day 2: Jinluan Bay 5:30 AM mirror sunrise ā cycle along Sufeng Mountain Ring Road (the blue bridge is stunning) ā check in at Nanyu Double-sided Sea for the green lighthouse (check tides!) Ā· Day 3: Wind-moving Stone Scenic Area (CNY 45) ā play in the water at Maluan Bay ā buy seafood and return š Accommodation recommendations Ā· Nanmen Bay/Tongling Town: CNY 150ā300 per night, right downstairs to the sea and snack streets, lively and convenient Ā· Jinluan Bay: CNY 200ā500 per night, watch the sunrise from bed š”Booking tip: Don't just look at the straight-line distance, open the map to see the actual location! Weekdays are half the price of weekends. š° 3 budget tiers (per person) Ā· Budget traveler: CNY 500 (bus + guesthouse + snacks) Ā· Comfortable: CNY 800 (shared ride + sea view guesthouse + seafood feast) Ā· Lavish: CNY 1,200 (taxi + prime sea view + seafood for every meal) š¦ Food tips Oyster omelet CNY 20, Cat's Porridge CNY 15. Average spend at food stalls is CNY 40ā60 per person. Avoid: internet-famous shops! Go to local old shops in Tongling Town; ask for the market price of seafood before ordering; buy seafood at the market and find a shop to cook it, processing fee is CNY 10ā15 per dish. šø Free attractions + photo spots Ā· Nanmen Bay: Filming location for the movie "The Left Ear," take Japanese-style blockbusters on the embankment Ā· Jinluan Bay: "Sky Mirror" sunrise is divine Ā· Sufeng Mountain Ring Road: Blue bridge + panoramic mountain and sea views Ā· Nanyu Double-sided Sea: Walk the "Angel Road" to the green lighthouse at low tide š Outfit tips Light-colored dresses! The seaside can cause sunburn in minutes, so bring the sun protection trio (cream + clothing + hat). Bring a pair of stream-trekking shoes for beachcombing. š¬ Heartfelt summary No excessive commercialization, just simple fishing villages, seafood so cheap it'll make you cry, and an endlessly beautiful blue sea. Before it gets too crowded, go for it!
āSeriously!ā
Budget around 2,000! Four family-friendly coastal cities!

It's hard to clearly explain why I want to visit a place three times and still want to go again
āEvery time friends ask me why I always head to Dongshan Island, I can't give a specific reason, but I just can't help wanting to go once more š.ā
Zhangzhou is great but I wonāt come back because honestlyā¦
