✨ When the morning mist drifts over the sea caves formed over millions of years, flocks of seagulls skim across the meadows, turning the waves into shimmering silver, and wild goats on the island cliffs suddenly turn their heads—this uninhabited archipelago scattered off the coast of Fujian uses blue tears and the secret language of seagulls to write a prose poem of forgotten gods at the end of the East China Sea. 🗺️ **Island Hopping Itinerary** Beijiao Island Pier (Fishing Port Fireworks) → Dongjiao Island (Cliffside Secrets) → Hongjiao Island (Seagull Kingdom) → Xijiao Island (Cave Gallery) → Nanjiao Island (Cobblestone Beach) 🏝️ **Island Secrets** - **Dongjiao Island**: Take a speedboat to the "Petra of the East China Sea," where jagged cliffs support vast grasslands and goats hop between abandoned stone houses. Old fishermen whisper mysteriously, "On typhoon days, you can see the gold coins from shipwrecks glittering in the waves!" - **Hongjiao Island**: In May, tens of thousands of seagulls hatch, and the chicks' down is fluffed into dandelions by the sea breeze. As you wait for the sunset, the entire island is suddenly enveloped by flocks of birds, their wings beating like a sudden downpour. - **Nanjiao Island**: Step onto the "Moon Beach" paved with hundreds of thousands of cobblestones, where sea glass hidden between the stones is polished into emeralds by the tides. Collect three pieces to form a complete wave shape. 📸 **Epic Photo Guide** - Dongjiao Island Cliffs: Lie down in the agave bushes and use a drone to capture an aerial view of the solitary dialogue between you and the cliffs. - Hongjiao Island Seagulls: Use burst mode to capture the 0.01-second moment when a bird brushes past your hair, a dance of hair and feathers. - Nanjiao Island at Midnight: Use long exposure to photograph the blue tears waves, the fluorescent blue outlining your footprints like star trails. 🌌 **Soul-Stirring Moments** Spend the night in an abandoned islander's stone house, where the Milky Way descends below the sea level. Old Chen, the island keeper, suddenly opens the cellar—boxes of 1970s canned food and yellowed Coastal Defense Logs appear before your eyes! He points to a scribbled note: "On a typhoon night in 1983, we sheltered Taiwanese fishermen here..." The next day, while diving, you discover fragments of blue and white porcelain among the coral reefs, the glaze shimmering with the moonlight of four centuries ago. ⚠️ **Island Rules** ❶ Take the high-speed train from Fuzhou/Wenzhou to Xiapu, then a taxi to Jishi Pier to take a boat (only 1 boat per day). ❷ Must-bring: Motion sickness patches (the waves are like a roller coaster), windproof hat (seagull droppings attack warning). ❸ Hidden Gem: Ask the boatman to unlock the "Night Exploration of the Ghost Cave," where a flashlight reveals ammunition boxes left by the Japanese army during World War II. 🌴 When popular islands become mere backdrops for wedding photos, here, even the crab tracks carry a wild poetry.

We left Ningbo at 3 am and arrived in Xiapu County at 9:40 am. We caught the 10 am ferry. The Bird Island was closed when we went. We only visited the other three islands. Check them out if you're interested. Dongzhuo Island - This island has a circular stepped island, preserving the original mountain and sea scenery. It's a great place for photos, and there are sheep. We recommend spending about 2 hours here. - The island's "Lion Peak" and "Emperor's Hat" are unique in shape, contrasting with the lawn and cliffs. It's perfect for aerial photography, and you can take some great shots. Nanzhuo Island - This uninhabited black reef island has clear water and a pebble beach. The rusty yellow and black reefs are bright in the sun. You can enjoy the tranquility and see cattle and sheep. - It's a great place to relax and a good spot for diving. You can see coral reefs and fish up close. Beizhuo Island - The only island in the Sijiao Islands where you can stay overnight. There are 3 homestays that need to be booked in advance. It's a great place to watch the sunrise and one of the first places on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait to see the sunrise. - The island has beautiful beaches and unique reefs. You can also experience the island's mountain city scenery and feel the local customs. 🤩 Tips from someone who's been there ❶ Don't wait until you get there to find a homestay. ▪️Contact a homestay on Beizhuo Island before you go. Make sure the host can show you around the island. We recommend Qianyu Homestay or Yujian Homestay on the Sijiao Islands. The host is a local and knows many beautiful places. They're very friendly, and the room has floor-to-ceiling windows with a sea view. ▪️When you arrive at Beizhuo Island Port from Jishi Wharf, the homestay will send a car to pick you up. ❷ If you want to take photos, don't just follow the big boat to the island! The Dongzhuo and Bird Islands only stop for an hour, which is very rushed. We recommend booking a homestay or arranging a boat trip with a partner in the afternoon!

Remember, there is only one round trip per day, all in the morning, so after arriving at Beijiao Island, you need to find a homestay for the night and take the passenger ferry back to Jishi Wharf the next day. Additionally, you need to take a temporary boat from Beijiao Island to visit Dongjiao Island and other islands. ✌🏻 Directly choose a speedboat to the Sijiao Islands. You can visit all the islands and return on the same day without needing to book a homestay on Beijiao Island. It will also be more convenient in terms of living. The ticket is 500 yuan per person (market price), but it is more cost-effective than the first option. Currently, there are speedboats to and from the Sijiao Islands at Dajing, Haiwei Wharf, and Dongbi Wharf!

🌈Treasures, today I want to share with you a super beautiful place—the Shuangsi Archipelago. 📍Here, you will be amazed by the natural scenery. The azure sky reflects the crystal-clear waters, and the waves continuously lap against the shore's rocks, producing a crisp sound. 💐Standing on the island, the sea breeze gently brushes across your face, bringing a salty taste, yet it is incredibly relaxing. The distant seabirds soar freely, as if telling the tales of the tranquility and beauty of this place. ✨Every scene on the island is worth capturing. The unique cliffs are filled with a sense of age-old beauty; and there's the green grassland, like a soft carpet laid by nature itself. 🎈Here, time seems to slow down. You can sit quietly by the seaside, watching the sun slowly set, the afterglow painting the sky with splendid colors, that moment is truly beautiful to the extreme. 🥰The Shuangsi Archipelago is such a place where you can capture the beauty, you must come and experience it for yourself! 💕
