Follow National Geographic to travel to Wenzhou, this treasure island is too stunning!
In the southern Zhejiang region, there are not many places where locals can see the blue sea and enjoy the beach on a daily basis, making travel decisions often perplexing😕. As a Wenzhou native, I followed the guidance of National Geographic this time to appreciate the charming beauty of Nanji Island🌊.
It takes 2 hours by boat, and with the company of sunny weather, the journey is relaxed and joyful. Grandparents even sang loudly on the boat🎶, let's go and see the velvet-like beaches and the ice-blue ocean!
Most of the scenic spots on the island can be reached on foot🚶.
Lying on the grass on the hill and looking at the ocean, the feeling of happiness is overwhelming, and everyone says it's like being abroad!
—————————
1⃣: 【About Transportation】🚕
I departed from the downtown area of Wenzhou, and there are two options for ferry tickets🎫. One is from Ruian (Feiyun Ferry Terminal - Nanji), which takes about 2.3 hours to arrive.
Another is from "Pingyang Aojiang - Nanji", which takes about 2 hours to arrive.
Once on the island, there are buses🚌 available, with each person allowed 6 rides.
There are also some local taxis available.
Except for "Sanpanwei", which is 6.3 kilometers away (requires a bus ride), other scenic spots can basically be reached on foot (about 10 minutes).
2⃣: 【About Accommodation】
Every hotel is located halfway up the hill, and it's about a 10-minute walk to the beach to watch the sunset. But remember to do good sun protection and mosquito prevention!🦟
3⃣: 【About the Beach】
The sand of Dashawan is like velvet, and it feels comfortable and soft to step on with bare feet, and you can also pick up shells🐚 by the side.
At night, you can see little holes in the sand. Do you know which little animals are digging them?🙈
And you might occasionally encounter blue tears💧, when the waves turn up the blue glowing "tears", the moment you see it with your own eyes is truly magical!
The beach of Dashawan is worth being written into my life's travel guide!😃
4⃣: 【About Sunrise and Sunset🌅】
Coming to the island, of course, you have to experience the beauty of the sunset twilight and the surging mood of the sunrise!
Sunset is between (17:40 - 18:15), go to Mazuwei Beach to watch the sunset, the beauty of the full sun sinking into the sea is so touching that it makes you want to cry😢.
For sunrise, you need to go to "Sanpanwei", there are buses as early as 4:30 in the morning, and you must record the moment when you see the sunrise dyeing half of the sky red while sitting on the natural lawn!📷
5⃣: 【About the Seaside Rainbow Road】
The flowers blooming by the roadside🌼 make the journey full of the breath of spring, and the beauty of life may be felt in an instant. Seeing the road surrounded by flowers, with the waves hitting the rocks not far away, the pressure is instantly released. It's also a good choice to take photos under the purple sea of flowers!
Just a short distance from the sea of flowers, you can walk down the path.
Seeing the hermit crabs and shells in the rocks is also a good opportunity to enhance relationships with friends and family!👏

It is 30 nautical miles from the nearest mainland town of Aojiang and 70 nautical miles from Wenzhou City.
The Nanji Archipelago is divided into three major scenic areas: Dashawan, Sanpanwei, and Zhuyu Baiyu, with 75 attractions in total. The islands feature beautiful mountains, unique rocks, lovely beaches, green grass, blue sea, and distant skies. The environment is unique, with a diverse range of species, and rich resources of shellfish and algae, earning it the reputation of 'Blue Pasture', 'Emerald Fairyland', and 'Shellfish and Algae Kingdom'.
It's as good as abroad! This fairy island in Zhejiang is so worth it!
My life and money should be wasted in such places.
This niche island in Zhejiang is not inferior to abroad at all!!
Here, the wind is free, the sea is the inverted sky.
Natural meadows. Cliff strange stones. Shell beach sunrise and sunset. Mysterious blue tears. Blue coast.
This is probably where the charm of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas lies.

Island boarding tip
It is recommended to arrange the itinerary in advance and check the weather!
You can buy round-trip boat tickets 1-2 days in advance.
Confirm the time to Aojiang Wharf in advance.
Journey 2h (I personally feel that motion sickness medicine or motion sickness patch is needed)
Island transportation
Mainly by bus (45r/6 trips)
Island play
Dasha Bay Beach
The sand is fine and soft, with many shells.
Xiaosanpanwei Scenic Area
Natural sea meadow, you can watch the sunrise here.
Half mountain and half sea, it's really comfortable to blow the sea breeze and watch the sea view.
Mazukou
Sunset viewing place, sometimes you can encounter sunset glow.
Coastal road
The coastline is very beautiful~ The sea is so blue on sunny days!
It's really good to take pictures! It's lucky to meet sunny days!
Nanji Island Aquarium-
Island accommodation
This time I chose the Blue Acacia Hotel.
There are wild luxury tent rooms, sea view rooms, etc...
1km away from Dasha Bay Beach, there is a convenience store nearby.
It will be a bit rushed to go back and forth on the same day, you can consider staying for one night.
Other tips
Snacks, power banks, mosquito repellent water, noodles, and umbrellas should be brought!
You can also bring a jacket if you are afraid of the cool in early autumn, this season is still very comfortable.
