A Serendipitous Seagull Chase on Taihu Lake! Unlock the Triple Romance of “Sea, Land, and Air” with a 60 Yuan Boat Ticket!

"Life is not just about the mundane in front of you, but also the poetry and the distant seagull flocks." If you ask how to spice up your weekend in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, this Taihu seagull chasing route will definitely make you the star of your friend circle! From Manshan Island to Fishing Port Village, with a 60 yuan boat ticket plus free attractions, you can chase seagulls all the way, with the air itself carrying the scent of freedom~ 🚤 Manshan Island: The Seagulls’ “Aerial Canteen” Navigate to Manshan Ferry Terminal, buying your boat ticket online can save you 20 yuan (some live streams charge 40 yuan/person). Bring breadcrumbs on board, and the seagulls will chase the boat like a “hungry wolf legend,” flapping their wings like tiny motors when snatching food! After disembarking, head straight to the lighthouse where the noon sun gilds the lighthouse and seagull silhouettes in gold—every snap looks like a National Geographic cover. Don’t miss the “Sky Mirror” next to the bird library, where the reflection of seagulls and blue sky is so beautiful you’ll want to roll on the spot! ⛩️ Yunfeng Temple: The “Zen Temptation” of Radish Silk Pancakes Walk 10 minutes from the memorial hall to Yunfeng Temple, where the incense is as lively as a “Seagull Blessing Festival.” You must try the Taihu radish silk pancakes in front of the temple! Crispy outside and tender inside, biting into one bursts with juice. Even the seagulls can’t resist circling above the temple, as if saying, “Kind donor, share a bite with me?” ☕️ Jinxi Coffee: The Seagulls’ “VIP Viewing Deck” Keep going forward to Jinxi Coffee, which faces the seagull feeding platform. You can capture stunning shots of flying seagulls even without buying anything! Fewer people and more beautiful scenery make it much quieter than trendy cafes like Muke. Order a coffee and sit all afternoon watching seagulls perform “water ballet” on the lake surface, with time slowing down like an old movie. 🌇 Fishing Port Village: The “Yurt Farce” at Sunset On the way back, pass by Fishing Port Village, where the seagull viewing platform is surrounded like a “yurt with a central stove for tea.” The 68 yuan per person tea fee is cheap, but the experience is like opening a blind box—the seagulls fly overhead, tea aroma mixes with fishy smells, and you can feed seagulls from the steps below. The parking lot is as messy as a “seagull parking lot,” so it’s best to leave quickly after taking photos~ This route is like a box of mixed-flavor chocolates, with the liveliness of seagulls, the tranquility of an ancient temple, the laziness of coffee, and the rustic charm of a fishing village. Tell me, isn’t a weekend like this better than staying home scrolling on your phone? After all, “The world is so big, you’ve got to chase seagulls and see it for yourself”~
