#小岛 Dongshan Island is a romantic island that makes people forget their worries, a romantic island that makes people fall in love with the sky blue, and the most literary island. It is also the filming location of the movie "Left Ear" and "Your Wedding". And the prices are really convenient. To travel around the island, you must rent an electric car. It costs about $40 a day, depending on the horsepower of the car you rent. The main attractions on the island include the lighthouse, Fishbone Sandbank, Tianya Haijiao, and Bay Beach. Just walk there and take photos. Every place is very photogenic. It’s best to bring your drone when taking pictures of Fishbone Sandbank, otherwise you won’t know what you are taking. This is a place where aerial photography is a must. 📍Address: Dongshan County, Zhangzhou City, China

This place is a filming location for many movies, and you can also feel the rustic charm of the fishing village. - Take a walk along the beach in the evening and enjoy the stunning sunset.

The beach is fine and the sea is clear, making it a great place to see and play in the sea. - In the afternoon, go to Maluan Bay to experience various water entertainment activities.

In the springtime on Dongshan Island, there is a unique beauty, especially during the sunrise and sunset, unveiling a chapter of travel that you can't afford to miss. Although Dongshan Island in Zhangzhou is small, its charm is infinite, especially these spots that I have carefully selected, each one deserves to be experienced wholeheartedly. 🛣️Route suggestion: From the dawn at Jinluan Bay to the lighthouse at Shuangmianhai, then to the Chenghuang Temple at Nanwangtiantai, and finally chasing the afterglow of the sunset at the Xiakeng Seafood Pier. 🌅Sunrise at Jinluan Bay: This place is like Fujian's mini Chaka Salt Lake, known as the most beautiful sunrise viewing spot. In the early morning, as the tide recedes, the beach forms a mirror reflecting the dazzling sunlight, like nature's mirror, a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Remember to check the sunrise time in advance and arrive early to avoid missing this magnificent spectacle. ⚠️Tips: The early spring mornings are cold, so it is recommended to stay in a homestay near Jinluan Bay for convenience in watching the sunrise. The homestay we stayed at was very cozy and reasonably priced. After leaving, a short walk or bike ride will take you there. 🏖️Shuangmianhai Lighthouse: The beach here forms a path to the small island when the tide is out, not only a filming location for the movie 'The Left Ear' but also a place where tourists leave beautiful memories. 🌄Nanwangtiantai and Chenghuang Temple: These two spots are adjacent to each other. Standing on the Tiantai, you can drink a cool beverage and enjoy the panoramic beauty of Dongshan Island. Descending to the Chenghuang Temple, you can experience more local color. 🌅Sunset at Xiakeng Seafood Pier: Recommended by the local tavern owner, the sunset view here is stunningly beautiful and complements the seafood. Although it is far from other attractions, driving or taking a ride there is the perfect way to end the day. In the spring of Dongshan Island, there is less hustle and bustle of crowds, more tranquility and beauty, and a small electric scooter can take you around the entire island, leaving behind unforgettable memories and beautiful picture

Babies, I'm here to share my new travel experience! This time I went to the beautiful Dongshan Island, where there are beautiful bays and retro fishing villages. Let me take you to appreciate it! 🌊 Day1: Nanmen Bay → Left Ear Terrace → Wengong Temple → Nanyu Double-sided Sea → Tongling Night Market After arriving at Dongshan Island in the morning, the first stop I chose was Nanmen Bay, which was once the filming location of the movie 'Left Ear'. On one side is the azure sea, and on the other side is the quaint fishing village, which is as beautiful as a poem. In the afternoon, I went to the Left Ear Terrace, which is an excellent place to watch the sunset. In the evening, I tasted local delicacies at the Tongling Night Market and felt the lively atmosphere of the fishing village. Day2: Sufeng Mountain Ring Island Road → Yanya Village → Color Spy Bay Sea Early in the morning on the second day, I got up early and went to Sufeng Mountain Ring Island Road to admire the beautiful sunrise, then came to Yanya Village to check in the filming location of 'Yanya Lovers', and finally experienced marine activities such as catching seafood in Color Spy Bay. Transportation suggestion: After arriving at Yunxiao Station by high-speed rail, you can take a bus directly to Dongshan Island. The fare is 10 yuan/person. If there are many people, you can choose to share a ride, the cost is 25 yuan/person. On Dongshan Island, it is recommended to rent a small electric donkey for travel, the rent is 60-80 yuan, and the off-season is 40 yuan. Be sure to ask about the battery life and return time when renting a car. Accommodation recommendation: Tongling Town is close to Nanmen Bay, there are many things to eat, and takeaway is also convenient. But it's noisy, especially by the sea. The price of sea view rooms is more expensive. Jinluan Bay can get up early to watch the sunrise, but the delivery of takeaways is more expensive and takes a long time. There are fewer things to eat nearby. If there are many people, it is recommended to share the room fee together and choose a single-family villa for living, where you can barbecue and cook. Dress suggestion: When taking pictures, it is recommended to wear bright or light-colored skirts, Japanese or Thai school uniforms, or camisoles with wide-leg pants or half skirts. Must check-in attractions: Nanmen Bay: On one side is the azure sea, and on the other side is the quaint fishing village. It is the filming location of the movie 'Left Ear'. Jinluan Bay: The mirror-like beach and sunrise complement each other, very dreamy. Nanyu: The green lighthouse is the filming location of the movie 'Your Wedding'. You need to watch the time to go there to prevent the tide from passing. Sufeng Mountain Ring Island Road: The super beautiful ring island road blue bridge, wearing a school uniform to take pictures is very out of the picture. The left hand is the blue sea, and the right hand is the green mountain, which is intoxicating. Wengong Temple: You can go up from the steps in the middle of Nanmen Bay and Fisherman's Wharf. It is the location of the movie 'Left Ear' terrace scene, where you can overlook Dongshan Island. Yanya Village: Check in the filming location of 'Yanya Lovers' and take pictures with the cliff as the background is very beautiful. Colorful Butterfly Bay: The colorful and vibrant bay like wings, there are special seaside small trains and rainbow train tracks in the park. Maluan Bay: 'Sea Amusement Park', there are many amusement projects. Left Ear Terrace: You can overlook the entire Nanmen Bay and it is an excellent place to watch the sunset. That's all for this share! If you also want to travel to Dongshan Island, I hope my guide can help you!

Here are some travel tips: 1️⃣ If possible, I suggest you drive by yourself (the attractions are unevenly distributed, Nanmen Bay, Sufeng Mountain, and Ao Jiao are three different places. If you drive, it's recommended to stay at Nanmen Bay, where there's a bustling atmosphere downstairs, and it's quite crowded, which is more friendly for girls and safer at night. 2️⃣ You can take a bullet train to Yunxiao station and then transfer to a bus. You can take a tuk-tuk driven by a local to enter the town. 3️⃣ For those who are not driving, you can ask the landlord about the location of renting small electric vehicles after arrival, but choose one with a high battery life, otherwise, it won't support you to all the attractions.

1. Take bus route 15 on the right side of the exit of Gaotie Yunxiao Station to Tongling Town, with a ticket price of 10 yuan and a travel time of about 45 minutes. 2. Aojiao Village is worth visiting, but the journey is about 28 kilometers and the condition of the national road is complicated, so cycling is not recommended. It is suggested to drive or take a taxi. Go further and climb up the mountain. 3. Su Fengshan's cycling is very beautiful.

Getting There - Dongshan Island is a natural wonderland located in the Sortheast of Fujian Province. Hop on a train going to Yunxiao train station and from there there are buses running frequently taking you to the island (around 30 mins’ ride). Highlight - The island isn’t very big but it takes a bit time to see everything. During the stay we rented motorbikes from the side of street (very easy and convenient) at a very reasonable price. With a motorbike it’s so easy to get around and explore the island wherever you like. I particularly enjoyed visiting Sufeng Mountain and having a swim at Maluan Bay and Jiluan Bay. Locals all go to those beach to relax and enjoy the water and abundant sunshine. This island is charming in ways that I can’t put into words. I would highly recommend anyone who is into a relaxing (or even a wild) vacation to go and check it out! #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #tigeryear2022 #staycation #beachlife #summervacation #naturalwonders #beaches

Getting There - Dongshan Island is very small it is easy to see all around the island in just 2-3 days. On the east side of the island you will find the longest highway bridge to go around the island. Here you can go to find the beach. Attractions - Beach, island, Bridge, local town #christmasgiveaway #nationalpark #beachvacation #decembertravel #vickwalks #travelinspiration #urbanexplorer #beachvacation

The Maluan Bay scenic spot is one of the earliest scenic spots in Dongshan. The Bay is crescent-shaped, with a wide view and a uniform sea and sky. You can see some people doing wind surfing, taking pictures and others sitting on the sand while waiting for the sunset. There are few shops too where you can eat and have some drinks. We got there by car it took us more than 2 hours drive from Xiancheng District, Zhangzhou. As soon as we arrived. The view of the sea and the sound of the waves made us relaxed. It was a nice trip. #tripinspired #tripmoments #tripaway #chinatravel #chinalife #fujianbeach #fujian #beaches

The left ear is photographed in Nanmen Bay. The place where I don't want to go when I come. Self-driving tour Dongshan's second stop is Nanmen Bay. It is very close to Dongshan Fengdong Stone Scenic Area. It is a quiet small fishing village on Dongshan Island. The pace here is very slow and the residents are very comfortable. Along the seawall, you can reach the beach, your feet are on the sand, bathe in the sun, and the sea breeze smells the salty taste of the sea. The sea here is clean blue, blue sky and clear water, and the mood is suddenly bright, or it is very comfortable to sit on the stone steps. With its blue waters, beautiful bays, original island style, and fresh seafood feasts, Dongshan is a place that you don't want to leave once.

I finally unearthed an amazing vacation spot in Zhangzhou—the Zhangzhou Dongshan Yuehua Hotel! The hotel's location is unbeatable. It's situated in a prime spot in Yunan Bay on Dongshan Island, one of "China's Top Ten Most Beautiful Islands," and faces the Fengdongshi Scenic Area across the sea. Everywhere you look at the hotel, you're greeted by the color blue. The hotel is enormous, covering an area of approximately 61,000 m², and features a main building, a stand-alone banquet hall, and an ecological garden spanning over 20,000 m². Ninety percent of the hotel's rooms are ocean-view, offering expansive sea views from the balconies that instantly soothe the mind and body. The food in Dongshan is delicious! Enjoy the doubled romance of savoring delicacies while admiring the ocean view at the all-day ocean-view dining restaurant. The local specialties served at the Chinese restaurant are authentic and tantalize the taste buds with every bite. During your leisure time, I recommend grabbing a drink at the lobby bar or brewing a pot of tea in the tea room to quietly enjoy a relaxing moment. The hotel's entertainment facilities are also fantastic! Fitness enthusiasts shouldn't miss the fitness club. There's also a chess and card room, perfect for a game! The swimming pool area is my favorite! The indoor heated pool allows for a refreshing swim regardless of the weather, while the outdoor pool is perfect for taking photos under the sun. Children have a blast in the kids' splash pool. There's also the "Little Squid Kids' Club," an outdoor mini train, and an unpowered amusement park, ensuring endless fun for both adults and children, making it easy to entertain the little ones. On the hotel's opening day, there will be fireworks by the sea! Start the new year with good luck amidst the fireworks on this romantic seaside!
