The Emerald Archipelago Hidden by the East China Sea: An Awakening Journey to the Sijiao Islands

Sijiao Islands: A Mysterious Secret Realm in the East China Sea In the outer sea of Fujian, there lies a scattering of uninhabited islands - the Sijiao Islands. When the morning mist fills the millions-of-years-old sea-eroded caves, and flocks of seagulls sweep across the meadows, this isolated island cliff seems to become a moving painting. The waves are cut into shattered silver, and the rock sheep on the isolated island cliffs suddenly turn their heads, as if telling ancient stories. **Island Hopping Route** Starting from the fishing port fireworks of North Island, heading east, passing through the cliff secret of East Island, then to the seagull kingdom of Red Island, followed by the karst cave gallery of Xifu Island, and finally reaching the pebble beach of South Island. Each island has its unique scenery and story. **Isolated Island Code** * **Dongfu Island**: This place is like the "Petra of the East China Sea". Serrated cliffs support acres of lawns, and mountain goats jump between abandoned stone houses. Local old fishermen mysteriously say that during typhoons, shipwrecks and gold coins can be seen sparkling in the waves. * **Hong Island**: In May, tens of thousands of seagulls hatch, and the down of the chicks is gently rubbed by the sea breeze. At sunset, the entire island is wrapped in flocks of birds, and the sound of flapping wings is like a torrential rain, as if you are in the secret language of seagulls. * **Nan Island**: Here, there is a "Moon Beach" paved with 100,000 pebbles. The sea glass hidden in the cracks between the stones is polished into emeralds by the tide, and collecting three pieces can spell out a complete wave shape. **God-level Photography Guide** * East Island Cliff: Lying in the agave grass, use a drone to take a bird's-eye view of the lonely dialogue between people and the cliff, which will definitely produce blockbuster effects. * Food and Accommodation: Beifu Island, the main island, is the only island where you can stay. Tongxin Hotel near the pier is a good choice, and there is also a sea view room with all-inclusive service for three meals. In addition, Hai Zhi Jia, Xunguangg MinSu, and other B&Bs are also good choices, although you need to climb slopes, the view is excellent. On the island, you can taste the B&B meals, which are mainly set meals. The seafood is freshly caught and super sweet, such as crushed snails and Rouyan soup. If you want to bring your own food, Babao porridge and self-heating pots are good choices. * Itinerary: After landing on the island on the first day, you can go to East Island to explore and feel the style of the cliff meadow, the lonely lighthouse, and free-range lambs. In the evening, return to Beifu Island to watch the sunset, fish at the pier, or catch the sea. Get up early the next day to watch the sunrise, and then stroll around the slope leading to the sea on North Island, the fishing village stone wins, and the hilltop viewing platform. **Tips to Avoid Pitfalls** 1. There are no toilets on the island, and the toilets on East Island are also relatively simple, so it is recommended that tourists drink less water. 2. The sea breeze is strong, so fly drones with caution, otherwise they may crash easily. 3. Before sharing a boat, confirm whether it is a speedboat (more comfortable) or a fishing boat (more bumpy) to avoid discomfort. The Sijiao Islands are a mysterious and beautiful place, and each island has its unique scenery and story. I hope you can leave good memories here.
