Wenzhou Nanji Island 3 Days 2 Nights Tested Guide, Complete Pitfall Avoidance Tips

Enjoy “The Little Greece of the East” for just 800 RMB per person! Wenzhou Nanji Island 3 Days 2 Nights Tested Guide, Complete Pitfall Avoidance Tips✨ Who would have thought! On my first night at Nanji Island in Wenzhou, I lay on the guesthouse terrace watching the stars, with the sound of waves and the salty breeze wrapping around me. Suddenly, I understood why some say, “This is Zhejiang’s last piece of blue sea” — the sea view I casually snapped on my phone got over 200 messages on WeChat Moments! I’ve compiled a 3-day 2-night tested guide that even beginners can easily follow, with pitfall avoidance tips included. Save this and get ready to go~ 1. Transportation: Don’t get stuck on “boat tickets”! This trick is super hassle-free🚢 The only way to Nanji Island is by boat. Key tip: book your tickets 3 days in advance on the “Nanji Island Tourism” WeChat official account! There are boats from both Ruian Port and Aojiang Port in Wenzhou. I recommend choosing the high-speed boat from Ruian Port (1.5 hours direct), which is 1 hour faster and less shaky than the slow boat from Aojiang Port. If you get seasick, bring motion sickness patches for extra security~ Once on the island, buses reach the main attractions, but if you want more freedom, renting an electric scooter is great (50-80 RMB per day, remember to bargain!). 2. Accommodation: Choose the right spot to avoid unnecessary detours🏨 - First choice is near Dasha’ao: step out and you’re on the beach, convenient for night market strolls. I recommend staying in a sea view guesthouse (200-300 RMB per person, you can bargain in the off-season). The place I stayed had a terrace with sunrise views, and the owner even gave me tools for beachcombing! - Pitfall warning: don’t stay in villages too far from the pier! There are no streetlights on the island, and it’s very dark cycling at night. Safety first~ 3. Must-Do List: Cover the highlights in 3 days without any pitfalls!🌟 - Day 1: Dasha’ao Beach + Seafood Night Market Arrive in the afternoon and head straight to Dasha’ao. The blue-green water looks like jelly, walking on the sand and splashing in the waves is super healing. Don’t forget your swimsuit (shower costs 10 RMB per person)! In the evening, buy fresh shrimp and crabs at the seafood market (bargain hard, mud crabs at 25 RMB per jin are a great deal), then have your guesthouse cook it for you (processing fee 20-30 RMB). So fresh you’ll lick your fingers~ - Day 2: Sanpanwei Sunrise + Island Cycling Tour Wake up at 4 AM to catch the sunrise at Sanpanwei! The moment the sun jumps out of the sea is legendary on WeChat Moments~ After sunrise, cycle around the island road, passing the “Marine Ranch” where vast mussel racks are incredibly impressive. Every snap is a masterpiece! - Day 3: Mazuo Beachcombing + Return In the morning, go beachcombing at Mazuo (check the tide schedule in advance!). You’ll find little crabs and clams easily, kids will have a blast~ For lunch, enjoy a bowl of seafood noodles (25 RMB per bowl, loaded with ingredients), then pack up and head back. Perfect! 4. Pitfall & Money-Saving Tips⚠️ - Buy island entrance tickets + boat tickets in advance; combo tickets save you 20 RMB compared to buying separately; - Don’t buy snacks inside the scenic area! The supermarket at the pier has normal prices, bottled water is 2 RMB per bottle; - Make sure to apply plenty of sunscreen! The island’s UV rays are very strong. I didn’t use sunscreen and got two shades darker in one day😂 Nanji Island isn’t a trendy check-in spot, but it hides the most healing blue sea and slow life — the morning waves, evening fishing lights, night stars, and biting into ultra-fresh seafood all make you want to come back again~ If you want to escape the city soon, this place is really perfect!
