The natural scenery on the island is unique and charming, and it also hides Guanyin Mountain, known as the 'Second Buddha Country of the East Sea'. Almost all the attractions on the island are free, and transportation is very convenient. Walking, dazing, tasting local seafood on Quzhou Island makes the leisurely summer even more comfortable.
