National Geographic has praised it as the most beautiful island in China, and it is indeed stunning!

In Taizhou, Zhejiang, I found a sparsely populated and scenically beautiful island like a treasure🎁, quietly situated on the East China Sea. Half of the island is made up of cliffs, and the other half is the boundless sea🌊. This semi-developed island is free from the heavy commercial atmosphere, offering only the most simple and honest local customs🤝. The seaside sunset🌅, the island's ring road🛣️, lighthouse, beaches, and that intoxicating shade of blue sea, every casual snapshot📷 is a breathtaking view. 📍Location: Taizhou·Da Chen Island 🌟Da Chen Island is actually divided into two islands, namely Upper Da Chen and Lower Da Chen, with a boat ride of about 10 minutes between them. 🏝️Upper Da Chen Island: This is a primitive island that has not been fully developed yet. 🏝️Lower Da Chen Island: It is relatively more developed, with better facilities on the island, and if you are staying overnight, you would generally choose Lower Da Chen Island, which also has more scenic spots. 【Getting to the Island】 🚗Drive from Taizhou and navigate to the No. 7 Jetty in Jiaojiang. 【Ticket Purchase】 ▪️Search on vx🔍gzh , tickets are usually released 2-3 days in advance, and you have to grab them early during the peak season! ⛵️Outbound ticket: Jiaojiang-Lower Da Chen Island, then buy the ticket from Lower Da Chen Island to Upper Da Chen Island after arriving. ⛵️Return ticket: Upper Da Chen Island-Jiaojiang. 【Transportation on the Island】 🛵Shared electric scooters ▪️It is recommended to rent an electric scooter for a round-the-island trip, it's really convenient, 💰25 yuan/hour, and you can stop anywhere to take photos📸. 🚌Island sightseeing bus ▪️Tickets are sold right at the tourist dock where you disembark, 💰25 yuan/person, the bus stops at every scenic spot around the island, and don't lose your ticket as it will be checked at each stop. 【Island Attractions】 🏝️Lower Da Chen Island Jiawu Rock: A must-visit spot on Lower Da Chen Island, with a separate admission fee of 💰60 yuan/person, walking along the seaside plank road towards the lighthouse, this is an excellent place to watch the sunrise. ✅Reclamation Monument: It is the highest point on the island, offering a panoramic view of the entire island👀. ✅Chicken Cage Head: The prime location for watching the sunset. ✅Langtong Gate: Along the coastal road, it's perfect for riding an electric scooter around the sea. ✅Plum Blossom Bay: This is a bustling area on the island, where most accommodations and dining are concentrated. 🏝️Upper Da Chen Island ✅This is a primitive island, and compared to Lower Da Chen Island, there are relatively fewer tourists.
