A hidden gem island quieter than Xiamen and cheaper than Sanya

Hey guys!! Who knows😭 I actually found 4 hidden gem islands that are quieter than Xiamen and cheaper than Sanya!! No need to squeeze with crowds📸 and no need to empty your wallet💰 You can have the whole beach and sea all to yourself!! This guide is legendary, come and take notes👇 🏝️ Island ①: Yushan Island, Fujian — Sea Prairie + Glass Sea I was speechless the moment I stepped on the island!!⛰️ Yushan Island actually hides the "Wugong Mountain at Sea"!! Vast green grasslands everywhere🐂 The wind blows the grass low revealing cattle and sheep, and in the distance is the crystal-clear glass sea🌊 What a divine combination!! 💥 Must-visit: Big and Small Tianhu Lakes!! Two crystal-clear lakes like green gems embedded on the island💎 Watch the sea of clouds in the early morning☁️ and chase the tangerine-flavored sunset in the evening🌇 Every shot looks like a cinematic masterpiece!! 🍜 Food hit: Freshly cooked seafood noodles🍜 Piles of big shrimp and clams!! Plus crispy oyster pancakes🦪 One bite crunches loudly, so fresh it’ll make your eyebrows drop!! 🌴 Island ②: Nan'ao Island, Guangdong — A niche healing paradise Help!! Nan'ao Island is the perfect place to escape the crowds!!🚗 The coastal road circles the island, riding a small electric scooter with green mountains on the left and the sea on the right🌊 Leave all your worries behind!! ✨ Hidden activity: Go to Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse for atmospheric shots!! The red and white lighthouse with waves🌊 Every snap is an Instagram hit!! At night, rush to Houzhai Town Night Market, grilled squid skewers 3 for 10 yuan🦑 paired with icy licorice fruit🍉 Happiness maxed out!! 🏖️ Island ③: Huaniao Island, Zhejiang — China’s Santorini This underrated blue and white town is stunningly beautiful!!🏛️ All the houses on Huaniao Island are dreamy blue and white, walking on the stone paths feels like traveling to Santorini~ If you’re lucky, you might see the "Glowing Sea"!!🌌 The sea at night glows blue like stars fallen to earth✨ 💡 Complete guide: Watch the sunrise at Foshou Rock in the morning🌅 Daydream at a seaside café in the afternoon☕️ Go fishing with fishermen at night🐟 Freshly caught and grilled seafood🦐 So sweet you’ll lick your fingers!! 🌊 Island ④: Weizhou Island, Guangxi — The romance of a volcanic island The volcanic landscape of Weizhou Island shocked me!!🌋 The black volcanic rocks at Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area, the fine sands of Dishui Danping, and the breathtaking sunrise at Colorful Beach🌅 Every frame is wallpaper-worthy!! 🍢 Foodie must-try: The island’s banana-fed chicken!! The chicken meat is tender and fresh🍌 With unique spices, it’s soul-stirring!! Then have a bowl of seafood noodles, with shrimp, squid, and clams all you can eat🦐 Only 30 yuan per person to eat until full!! Guys!! These 4 divine islands are truly amazing!! Few people, beautiful scenery, and super affordable💰 Whether you want to take photos and check in📸 or just relax on vacation🏖️ they perfectly satisfy!! Before they get too popular, quickly invite your besties or boyfriend and rush there!!🚀 Missing out will really make you cry!!!
