You must go to Dongshan Island, have a date with the sea, and encounter the blue romance that belongs to you in a windy place. This is the filming location of the movies "Left Ear" and "Your Wedding". Every frame is as beautiful as a movie scene. Let's take a look at my travel guide 👇 Transportation 🚄High-speed rail: Take the train to Yunxiao Station. After exiting the station, there are two ways to get to Dongshan Island. One way is to take bus No. 15, which costs 10 yuan per person and takes about 1 hour; the other way is to share a car, which costs about 30 yuan per person and takes 1 hour to reach the island. 🚗Self-driving: Navigate directly to Dongshan Island. The scenery along the Shenhai Expressway is beautiful, but there may be traffic jams on holidays, so remember to plan your time in advance. Transportation on the island: Renting an electric car is the most convenient way to travel, 80-100 yuan/day, and you can freely travel between various attractions. Accommodation recommendations 🏠Tongling Town: The most lively place on the island, close to Nanmen Bay and Fengdongshi Scenic Area, with many delicious foods, convenient transportation, many accommodation options, and affordable prices. You can find a good homestay for 200-500 yuan. 🏠Jinluan Bay: The environment is quiet, the sea view room has a great view, you can watch the sunrise while lying in bed, it is suitable for friends who want to enjoy a quiet vacation. However, there are relatively fewer dining options and accommodation prices are relatively high, ranging from 500 to 1,000 yuan per night. Attractions 1. Nanmen Bay: Half of it is the sea, and half of it is a small town. The colorful houses are scattered around, full of southern Fujian style. During the day, you can stroll along the beach and feel the gentle sea breeze; in the evening, the setting sun shines on the sea, it is so beautiful that you will be speechless. Any photo you take will be very good. This is also the filming location of "Left Ear". 2. Jinluan Bay: Known as the "Mirror of the Sky", the beach is fine and soft. When the tide goes out, the beach is like a mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds. A great place to watch the sunrise. At 5-6 in the morning, the sun slowly rises from the sea level, and the golden sunlight shines on your body, which is super shocking. 3. Sufengshan Ring Road: One of the most beautiful roads in Fujian, half of it is green mountains and half of it is blue sea. Riding on this road, feeling the sea breeze on your face, you will feel as if you are in a Hayao Miyazaki cartoon. There are many viewing platforms along the way where you can stop and take pictures at any time. 4. Nanyu Double-Sided Sea: The filming location of "Your Wedding", with a green lighthouse. The magic here is that it is an isolated island at high tide, but a sandbar appears at low tide, and you can walk to the lighthouse, but be sure to check the tide table in advance. 5. Wind-Moving Stone Scenic Area: The iconic attraction of Dongshan Island, Wind-Moving Stone is known as "the most amazing stone in the world". It moves when the wind blows, but it remains standing. It is very magical. There are also historical sites such as Tongshan Ancient City and Wengong Temple in the scenic area, which are worth a visit. Food Recommendations 🦀Seafood: You must eat seafood when you come to Dongshan Island. The local seafood is fresh and cheap. We recommend the blanched squid, steamed grouper and spicy crab, which are authentic and delicious. 🍜Special snacks: Xiaomi, with thin skin and large fillings, is super satisfying to eat in one bite; Maozai porridge, with a seafood soup base, is extremely fresh and fragrant; Omelette, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, is super delicious when paired with tomato sauce. 🥤Drinks: Little Wife Sweet Soup, a local specialty dessert, with various taro pastes, grass jelly, and fruits combined together, refreshing and greasy. Travel suggestions 1. Weather: Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a sunny day to travel. The sea view will be more beautiful and the photos will be better. 2. Sun protection: The ultraviolet rays at the seaside are very strong, so you must take sun protection measures and put on sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses. 3. Going to the beach: If you want to experience going to the beach, you can go to Yugu Sandbar, Aojiao Village and other places. Remember to learn about the tide time in advance. 4. Water activities: There are many water activities in Maluan Bay, such as sailing, motorboats, etc. Friends who like excitement should not miss it, but they must choose regular merchants and pay attention to safety. Dongshan Island is really a romantic and healing place, where you can slow down and feel the gentleness and tranquility of the sea. My dears, please save this guide and go on an island trip at any time💕

Dongshan's most beautiful Windmill Road, this is a road from Chencheng Town to Ao Jiao Village. The snow-white wind turbines, with their pure white blades, stretch out like a giant bird poised for flight. Each blade seems to tell an ancient story, the leisurely rotating wings dance freely in the breeze, fully enjoying the caress of the wind. Under the blue sky, with clouds drifting and gentle breeze accompanying, the sight is spectacular, and it's a great spot for romantic photo shoots👍, enjoying the gifts of nature. The symphony of windmills and waves, blue sky, white clouds, windmills, and beaches... truly, every step here is like a painting! Location: Navigate to Ao Jiao Village Note: 1. It's not fully completed yet, there's no parking lot so park by the roadside with caution, 2. Please prepare for mosquitoes as there are quite a few outdoors, 3. Be mindful not to litter, take your trash with you, and ensure 'no trace left behind' when you leave.

I stayed on Dongshan Island for three days. The first day was spent watching the sunrise at Jinluan Bay early in the morning, and the afternoon at Nanmen Bay. The second day was for taking life photos at the double-sided sea of Nanyu. The third day was for checking in at Wujiao Bay, Ao Jiao Village, Gongqian Village, and Fish Bone Shoal. Among them, the most unforgettable thing for me is this colorful little fishing village, Ao Jiao Village. 📸️ Recommended photo spots in Ao Jiao Village: 1⃣️ Tianya Ao Jiao 2⃣️ Mid-mountain Viewpoint 3⃣️ Mysterious Cave of Ao Jiao Village 4⃣️ Coastal Cliff White Lighthouse ⚠️ Warm tips: 1⃣️ Remember to bring an ultra-wide-angle lens for shooting the cave, and pay attention to the tide times. 2⃣️ For shooting the colorful fishing village buildings, remember to bring a drone, and pay attention to the height, signal, and wind level. 📷 About shooting Shooting equipment: DJI Air 2S Shooting time: Around 14:00 Shooting difficulty: ★★★ Post-editing: Adobe Photoshop 2024 💰 Average cost: No admission fee, free parking. ⏰ Business hours: Open all day, recommended time is about 3-7 pm. 📍 Location: Tianya Ao Jiao, Ao Jiao Village, Dongshan County, Zhangzhou City There is a bus from Nanmen Bay, but it takes a long time, so self-driving is recommended. I am Xiaowu, who loves traveling and photography, and enjoys recording and sharing life. If you like it, please support me by following and liking. Thank you! 🌹🌹🌹

1⃣️To get to Dongshan Island, take a train or high-speed rail to Yunxiao Station in Zhangzhou. Some cities need to transfer in Xiamen. There are buses or taxis available at the station to take you to the location of the homestay. The area around the high-speed rail station is equivalent to the central area of Zhangzhou, where it is convenient for food and accommodation. 2⃣️The core scenic area of Dongshan Island is on the northeast side of the island, that is, the Nanmen Bay Scenic Area. It takes nearly an hour to get there from the high-speed rail station. Renting an electric car here is very convenient, 80 yuan a day can run 80 kilometers. 3⃣️If you come to Dongshan Island for a vacation, you can stay for three days and two nights. The route is from Nanmen Bay to Ao Jiao Village, which is the East Coast. Just this route is enough for two days of good play. 4⃣️My personal most recommended attractions: 1. Nanmen Bay has a local regional style, the stone village faces the sea, and it is very comfortable whether it is sightseeing, eating or drinking. 2. Jinluan Bay has a unique mirror beach, the coastline is wide and particularly suitable for watching the sunrise 3. Sufeng Mountain has a sea bridge with beautiful scenery along the way. 5⃣️I think the cost of Dongshan Island is particularly low among domestic coastal cities, as can be seen from the local electric car rental prices. The cost of three days and two nights, including transportation, is less than 1k. 6⃣️When you come to Dongshan Island, you must go to eat ginger duck. I have been to Dongshan Island three times, and I will never miss the ginger duck shop in Nanmen Bay. The sweet soup at the intersection of the ginger duck shop is also very delicious
