Puji Temple is solemn and majestic, Fayu Temple is surrounded by ancient trees, and the South Sea Guanyin Statue is compassionate and peaceful. Praying here brings peace to your heart. Zhujiajian: Known as the "Hometown of Sand Sculptures," the island road around Daqing Mountain offers green mountains on one side and blue sea on the other. Shengsi Islands: Known as the "Fairy Mountains on the Sea." Sijiao Island's Liujing Pool offers stunning sunrise views over the sea; Gouqi Island features spectacular mountain and sea views, and the sea ranch is impressive. 🍱 Food Recommendations Seafood is Zhoushan's specialty. Steamed grouper, braised belt fish, shumai crab fried rice cake... every bite is a gift from the sea. Don't miss the seafood noodles with rich broth and abundant seafood—one bowl is completely satisfying. Also try the red roe crab, with its salty and delicious meat that melts in your mouth. 🏠 Accommodation Suggestions Dongji Island: Miaozi Lake area offers many accommodation options with good facilities; Dongfushan has beautiful scenery but limited accommodations—consider seaside guesthouses. Shengsi Islands: Choose based on which island you're visiting. Areas near Dawang Beach on Gouqi Island are convenient for dining and transportation. 📅 Itinerary Planning Three-day tour reference: Day 1: Arrive in Zhoushan - Zhujiajian (visit Daqing Mountain, enjoy the island views, watch the sunset at Nansha Beach) Day 2: Dongji Island (take a boat, visit the movie filming location at Miaozi Lake, enjoy a seafood feast in the evening) Day 3: Putuoshan (spend the whole day visiting temples and experiencing Buddhist culture) Five-day tour reference: Day 1: Arrive in Zhoushan - Shenjiamen Fishing Port (experience the fishing port atmosphere, taste seafood) Day 2: Zhujiajian (spend a full day at Nansha Beach and Daqing Mountain) Day 3-4: Dongji Island (watch sunrise at Dongfushan Island, explore Miaozi Lake Island) Day 5: Putuoshan (peaceful Buddhist pilgrimage) ❗ Important Notes May to October is peak season; book accommodations and ferry tickets in advance.
