🌴《Encounter Dongji Island, Dream of the Blue Realm》💗
🌊 Dongji Island, a place that makes people dream.
🏝️When the first ray of sunlight shines on this island, the whole world is dyed golden. Standing by the sea, the sea breeze gently caresses your cheeks, bringing the unique salty breath of the sea, the taste of freedom.
🐟 Under the clear water, fish swim happily, and colorful coral reefs are like a dream. Take a boat out to sea, feel the ups and downs of the waves, and walk side by side with the seagulls, as if you are in a blue fairy tale world.
🌅 The evening Dongji Island is even more beautiful, the sunset's afterglow dyes the sky and the sea into warm colors. At this moment, time seems to stand still, and all troubles are left behind.
🎑 At night, the stars are shining and filling the sky. Lying on the beach, looking up at the starry sky, as if you can touch the vastness of the universe.
🚶♂️ Stroll through the alleys on the island and feel the simple folk customs. The ancient stone houses have witnessed the changes of time.
💫 Dongji Island is a haven for the soul and a starting point for dreams.

Zhoushan | Dongji Island "Palace of Potala on the Sea"
Miaozihu Island is the main island of Dongji Town and also the largest one. It has complete living facilities. The homestay restaurants are built according to the island, and they are in order. Looking from the shooting location of 'See You Again', it really has the flavor of the Palace of Potala on the sea. It is also the only island with sightseeing cars. See the map of the island at the end. The sightseeing car departs from the passenger terminal and the main attractions in order of stops:
1️⃣Dongxiang Pavilion: There is a Beixi Wharf down the road which is closer to the sea, but there are only rocky cliffs here without a beach.

The movie "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" was released, and I was really afraid that this place would become popular.
I used to know that Dongji Island was far away from the hustle and bustle and the scenery was unique.
After the release of "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru", I learned about the touching deeds of the ancestors of the residents of Dongji Island. I was really afraid that this place would become popular and break the original tranquility🌊
In fact, when I went to Dongji Island, I noticed the introduction of "Lisbon Maru" on Qingbang Island, but I didn't go into it at the time. Now I realize that it is a touching story of the residents of Dongji Island who sacrificed their lives to save people. As Fang Li, the producer of this film, said, this history that has been obliterated for 82 years should not be forgotten.
Dongji Island is the site of the sinking of the Lisbon Maru and the location of the film. The island scenery of Dongji Island is beyond words, it is really beautiful.
The first time I went to Dongji Island, I was shocked. Because it is far away from the land, there is really a sense of seclusion. It is suitable to play slowly on the small island, sitting by the sea and blowing the sea breeze, it is really healing.
Such a beautiful place, I'm really afraid it will become popular🔥
But I think it's unreasonable that such a place is not popular.

East China Sea Islands Travel Guide.
🌈 Attractions:
Many people have a misconception about the East China Sea Islands. In fact, the East China Sea Islands are not a single island, but a collective term for all the islands under the jurisdiction of Dongji Town, Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province.
The East China Sea Islands have 28 islands and 108 reefs. Not only do they have a strong and simple fishing village style, but they also have beautiful scenery, including sunshine, blue sea, islands and seafood. It is known as the Lijiang River on the sea, a rare pure land.
Speaking of the East China Sea Islands, not only is it an important filming location for the movie "Aftershock", but it also has a story that has been deeply understood by everyone because of the documentary film "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" - in 1941, during World War II, a freighter full of prisoners of war was sunk near the East China Sea Islands, and thousands of prisoners of war were on the verge of death. In a critical moment, Chinese fishermen, under the threat of gunfire, risked their lives to participate in a major international maritime rescue. Their kindness and bloodiness will forever remain in the hearts of the vast sea and international friends, forming a stirring epic of the times.
If you watch this historical documentary film after eight years, and then wait for the East China Sea Islands, I believe that in addition to the beauty you understood before, there will be a touch of magnificence here, stirring up ripples in your heart...
🎟️ Tickets:
You don't need tickets to visit, but you need to pay extra for things like going out to sea to watch the sunrise or taking a speedboat.
🕐️ Opening hours:
Open 24 hours a day
💗 Other tips:
Blue tears are the limited romance of the sea, the time is uncontrollable, you can see the preview online in advance.

Travel Diary - Dongji Island.
🌊The sea breeze gently caresses my face, the sun shines warmly, and I'm having a great time on the island.
🏝️In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight shine on the sea, sparkling like a dream. I stroll along the beach, leaving a trail of footprints in the soft sand. The waves crash against the shore, making a crisp sound, as if telling the story of the sea.
🐚Picking up seashells on the beach is a must-do every day. These shells of various shapes and colors are gifts from the sea. I hold them in my hand, feeling the temperature and breath of the sea.
🍹In the evening, I sit on the rocks by the sea, watching the sunset slowly, and the sky is dyed orange-red. The fishing boat in the distance returns with the day's harvest. At this moment, I am deeply moved by the beautiful scenery in front of me, and my heart is full of love and gratitude for life.
💫At night, the stars are twinkling, I lie on the beach chair, looking up at the starry sky, my thoughts drifting. On this island, time seems to slow down, and I can enjoy this tranquility and freedom to my heart's content.
🌴This is my island diary, an unforgettable time, a spiritual habitat.

Zhoushan - Dongji Island
✅Zhoushan - Dongji Island, this island is located in the deep sea and requires a boat from Zhujiajian in Zhoushan to reach.

🏝️The seafood on this island is particularly delicious. You can choose your own seafood and have it cooked on the spot. You can also choose to eat farmhouse dishes at the lodging places.
🏝️Walking around the island, you can feel the cool sea breeze, which is quite strong. You can also see nearby islands from this island, so the scenery is very beautiful and stunning.
🏝️It is especially cool here. If you come to this island, you need to stay overnight and return the next day, as the afternoon boat service ends early in the morning.

Travel Tips for Dongji Island
Dongfushan Island is a must-visit island in Dongji. The sea here is really bluer than the other two islands!!! The prices are acceptable, and the dried seafood from Guangtou is very delicious, haha, I bought a lot to bring back!! The sea breeze at night is also very comfortable, but walking can be a bit tiring. Remember to bring a pair of sports shoes, otherwise, it will be really exhausting. I stayed at Tata Homestay, the environment is quite good, you can directly see the sunset, and I also ate at Tata, the prices are acceptable, and the food is quite good. However, Tata is on the top of the mountain, so walking can be a bit tiring, but it's a happy kind of tiredness! Remember to bring sunscreen, seasickness patches or medicine, because the boat to Dongfushan Island is very bumpy! Also, bring mosquito repellent!!! The most important thing is sunscreen! The sun is really strong during the day!

The stunning scenery of Dongji Island!
Unlock the secret realm of the island! Dongji Island, a journey where I frame myself with the beautiful scenery.
Hey friends, today I want to take you away from the hustle and bustle and fly to that isolated and stunning fairyland—Dongji Island!
The moment I set foot on Dongji Island, it felt as if time slowed down. The first ray of morning light pierced through the clouds and shone on my face. At that moment, I knew this was not just a trip, but a spiritual cleansing.
Walking along the winding coastline, every step is a scenery. The rocks sculpted by time, the waves gently lapping at the shore, all tell the unique story of Dongji Island. I stopped, listened quietly, and captured this primitive and pure beauty with my camera.
If you are also tired of the city's noise and crave a spontaneous trip, then Dongji Island is definitely worth adding to your list! Trust me, this place has all the beauty and surprises you desire!

The Pearl of the Sea in the East of the Mainland
Dongji Island is not an official geographical name, nor does it refer to a single island. It is a customary term for all the islands under the jurisdiction of Dongji Town, Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province. Its official geographical name should be 'Zhongjieshan Archipelago.' Dongji Island is located at the eastern end of the Chinese mainland. Surrounded by the East China Sea, it is situated between 122.40°E and 30.1°N. The Dongji Islands are far from Zhoushan Island, 45 kilometers from Shenjiamen, and consist of 28 islands and 108 reefs. It not only has a rich and rustic fishing village character but also boasts breathtaking scenery. It almost encompasses the true essence of sunshine, blue sea, islands, reefs, and seafood. With a pleasant climate and clear water quality, it is a rare pure land. The main attractions of Dongji include Miaozihu, Qingbang Island, Dongfushan, and Huangxing Island. It was an important filming location for the movie 'The Continent,' and is known as the 'Lijiang on the Sea.'

Complete Guide to Dongji Island
Dongji Island is beautiful (especially with filters), but it is indeed exhausting. It is by far the most challenging guide I have ever done, bar none!
1. ⛰️ Quick Guide to Dongji:
Dongji Island consists of three main islands: Miaozihu (a must-visit spot from the movie 'The Continent'), Qingbang Island (an uninhabited island), and Dongfushan Island. The ferry arrives in the order of Miaozihu ➡️➕20 to Qingbang Island ➡️➕30 to Dongfushan Island.
2. 🎫 Buying Tickets:
I started from Hangzhou, so I had to take a high-speed train to Ningbo first. My journey was high-speed train ➡️ bus ➡️ ferry.
Outbound:
Use the mini-program to choose Zhujiajian ➡️ Miaozihu. Buy tickets a week in advance (check the weather, as ferries are easily canceled in foggy or rainy conditions). If you want to go to Qingbang or Dongfushan Island, remember to bring cash 💰 as the ferry will announce the next stop's ticket sales on board.
Return:
Use Alipay to choose Miaozihu ➡️ Zhujiajian. Buy tickets a day in advance. If returning to Zhujiajian from Qingbang or Dongfushan Island, you need to return to Miaozihu first (buy inter-island ferry tickets at the dock an hour in advance).
3. 🚢 Choosing Ferry Seats:
Opt for a sleeper seat!! Other than the VIP seats, all other seats are very narrow. Considering the 2-3 hour journey, those prone to seasickness should choose a sleeper seat. However, the beds are a bit dirty, but they are usually not fully booked. After the ferry departs, walk to the last few beds and choose a clean, unoccupied one to lie down (feels a bit sneaky).
4. 🧳 What to Bring to the Island:
Wear long pants, bring mosquito repellent, and sunscreen (the UV rays by the sea are extremely strong). Make sure to wear suitable hiking shoes. I wore crocs and got three big blisters. If possible, bring some snacks and fruits, as everything on the island is expensive.
5. 🤔 Personal Experience:
If you want a place to relax but are short on time, I do not recommend going. The journey back and forth and the frantic ticket grabbing are enough to wear you out.
If you, like me, want to experience the artistic vibe from 'The Continent' and check it off your list, you can give it a try. After all, since you're here, you might as well.

Journey to Dongji Island
Two-day and one-night trip to Dongji Island
If you want to take a short break on the weekend, Dongji Island in Zhoushan is a good destination
Navigate to the Centipede Wharf at Zhujiajian, where parking fees for small cars are 48 yuan per vehicle (normally) and 64 yuan per vehicle (peak season) between 8 am and midnight. I parked at 11:30 am and left at 5:40 am the next day, which cost me 120 yuan, so parking is a bit expensive.
On the first day, I departed from the Centipede Wharf to Dongfushan Island, a boat ride of over two hours (please purchase boat tickets and book accommodation online in advance). Dongfushan is an excellent place to watch the sunrise and sunset, not only for its blue skies, white clouds, and blue sea but also for the beautiful scenery of the sun rising and setting.
Walking around Dongfushan Island is the only option, about 8 kilometers, taking 3-4 hours, but every view is nice. Of course, you can also choose to sit by the sea, enjoy the sea breeze, and appreciate the hard-won tranquility. For dining, there are many seafood options on the island, reasonably priced considering it's a tourist area, but really fresh as it's all caught on the spot. At night, if the weather is good, you can see a sky full of stars
