preface

In July, I traveled to Shanghai, Beijing, Jurong, Wuxi, Yandang Mountain, Shitai, Datong, and Ulan Butong for filming. At the end of the month, the epidemic hit back. Although they all went to low-risk areas, they still consciously returned home to rest.

In early August, I stopped for half a month. I received an invitation from a friend and coaxed me into going to the East Pole Island. I refused, so I agreed and started my third trip to the East Pole Island.

The three-day and three-night trip to the East Pole Island. The weather was very good and I had a lot of fun. It was probably the most relaxing days in recent months, so I decided to record my trip to the East Pole Island after returning to Hangzhou.

Introduction to the island

The Dongji Island as commonly referred to is composed of Miaozi Lake, Qingbang Island, Dongfushan Island, Xifushan Island and Huangxing Island. Only friends of Huangxing Island who like sea fishing will go. Xifu Mountain Island is known as the reclining Buddha on the sea, but it is rare to hear of anyone landing on the island. People generally choose three islands: Miaozi Lake, Dongfushan Island and Qingbang Island for island hopping tours. Among the three islands, Miaozi Lake is the most lively, Dongfu Mountain is the farthest to the sea, and Qingbang Island is the most primitive. Each of the three islands has its own characteristics.

itinerary

The planned trip to the three islands is three days and two nights. If you want to have more money, you can plan for five days. Some friends have liked it after coming to the East Pole Island before. They stayed for half a month, which is really willful.

Take our itinerary as an example:

DAY1 Zhujiajian (Stay at Yuelai Hotel, Wudongzhi Wharf, which is a 5-minute walk to the Wharf)

DAY2 Zhujiajian-Miaozi Lake (Live in Miaozi Lake Shiguang Shise B & B, the location is very good)

DAY3 Miaozi Lake-Qingbang Island-Dongfushan (Live in Dongfushan Aixia B & B, the location, service and catering are good)

DAY4 Dongfushan-Miaozi Lake (transfer)-Zhujiajian

This rhythm is just right for me. It will not be particularly tight or too leisurely. However, I suggest that you can use Dongfushan Island as the first stop for the tour, go to Qingbang Island for the second stop, and finally go to Miaozi Lake, because it will be easier to buy tickets.

traffic strategy

Zhoushan has not yet connected to high-speed rail. However, there are buses that can go directly to the terminal from Hangzhou Wulin Gate, Ningbo Lishe Airport, Ningbo Railway Station, Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport, and Zhoushan Passenger Transport Center. Public transportation in Putuo District is also very developed, so it is not difficult to find a suitable way of travel by making strategies in advance.

Self-driving friends can drive directly to the parking lot of the dock, and there are places to park in hundreds of parking spaces as long as it is not in the peak season. You can also park your car at the hotel where you stay (a lot of 5 kilometers around) and take a taxi to the dock to save the depression of traffic jams at the self-driving dock.

Ticket guide

Buying ferry tickets on islands is quite troublesome. People often buy the wrong ticket, cannot buy it, or miss the flight. In fact, as long as you pay a little attention, it can be completely avoided.

No matter which island you go to from Zhujiajian, the flight will definitely pass through Miaozihu Island (the outbound journey of this journey can be purchased three days in advance on the public account "Zhoushan Haixing Ship", and the return public account "Dongji Shipping" can be purchased one day in advance), but tickets between small islands cannot be purchased online in advance and can only be purchased at the terminal on the same day (generally, tickets will be available if purchased 1-2 hours in advance before departure).

Flight dynamics are sometimes slightly adjusted based on weather conditions, so it is best to confirm the situation with the terminal staff or B & B owner when arriving at the port. They usually have first-hand information on the flight situation. Alternatively, you can check the flight status in the public in advance (with customer service phone number) to facilitate planning your itinerary in advance. (Confirm epidemic prevention policies in advance during the epidemic)

The boat journey time is about 140 minutes from Zhujiajian to Miaozi Lake, about 15 minutes from Miaozi Lake to Qingbang Island, and about 40 minutes from Miaozi Lake to Dongfushan

Expenses

In terms of expenses (excluding transportation expenses to and from the terminal), the three-day and three-night journey costs about 3000 people, the cost of ferry tickets is about 400 yuan, the cost of accommodation is about 1200 yuan (3 nights), the cost of meals is about 1000 yuan (5 meals), and other expenses add up to 500 yuan.

other precautions

1. The suitable travel season is from May to October, with the peak season from July to August, and the fishing season from August to October.

2. Anti-seasickness (lower cabin sleeper + motion sickness sticker), sun protection (sunscreen clothing), strong wind protection (gain weight), mosquitoes prevention (wear long sleeves), and some change

[Miaozi Lake Island]

The largest, most lively and one with the most fun elements in the island group

It takes a lot of time to walk around the island. You can take an official tour bus, 88 yuan/person

The tarmac on the island allows you to cruise in the nearby waters by helicopter

There are also some sailing activities, such as sea fishing and net fishing, round-island watching the sunrise and sunset, and boundary markers and dolphins on the high seas. The experience value is full

On good weather, the color of the sea is Tiffany blue

The island's iconic statue Cai Bo Gong is the male god of freedom in the hearts of people on the island. It is said that he was the first person to visit the island

The red and white lighthouse in Miaozi Lake is a place for Internet celebrities to check in. With yellow reefs and blue sea as the background, it is very eye-catching to take photos

Compared with the lively east coast, the west bank of the island is full of natural scenery and much quieter

On the east coast of the island, there are many fishermen and islanders in a hurry

The east coast of the island is also a commercial gathering area. Of course, business does not mean that it is bad. For example, some cafes have good viewing spots and delicious milk tea, but the consumption is not particularly high yet

The East Pole Theater on Doudou Street is actually an old theater transformed into a bar, which feels like an old school.

The Lisbon Maru Shipwreck Museum and the East Pole Art Museum on Daodou Street are both open to the public free of charge

In fact, the most interesting shops on Daodou Street are in the innermost corner of the alley, such as this puffer fish decoration shop

For example, the owner of this craft brewery is very interesting. His hometown is in Henan. After arriving at the East Pole Island, he stayed on the island and carried beer barrels to produce his own beer on the island. When I first came to the East Pole Island, I had several glasses of wine at their home. The taste was particularly good and was amazing.

After walking around, we can find a good location on the west bank and wait for the sunset. We found a small room observation deck above the church. The view is still very good. We can sit and watch the sun slowly set on the back of Huangxing Island.

Half an hour of blues time after sunset is also beautiful

The rising night announces the arrival of the island's rich nightlife

As a foodie, the most important part of island tourism is of course eating seafood. Mussel, bergamot, round snail, barnacles, grouper, sea bass, sand eel, wild shrimp, lance crab, octopus. I decided to eat some seafood that is not usually available in the city, so I decided to eat them all.

Fishing has just started in August, and the seafood you eat is often the most delicious, but the price is also relatively high. There are many restaurants on the island, so you can choose well.

After eating, you can go to the hammock bar on the shore, order a few glasses of beer, and sit in the open space with your friends. It's really comfortable

[Qingbang Island]

Bang Island is not big and simple. The most famous thing on the island is the Potala Palace on the Sea, which is somewhat similar to the uninhabited village on Gouqi Island. You can go to the Xiaozhidong Shipwreck Site to get a card. It is easier to see if there are fewer people, but the wind is very, very strong and there are also a few small beaches to go and play. The highlights of the island are all on the east coast, and good B & Bs are also on the east coast (we live in Qingbang Memory, and the location is very good). You can watch the sunrise directly when you get up early, and if you are lucky, you can also see the Fluorescent Sea (July to August). The most troublesome thing on the island is that luggage handling is troublesome (climbing more often). It is recommended to contact the inn in advance to help pick up and drop off (there are only small tutu used by islanders on the island).

The Potala Palace on the sea, the scale is still very imposing from the aerial view

B & Bs on the east coast of the island were basically built in recent years

The east coast is also a fluorescent coast, and there is often a chance to see blue tears during alternating cold and warm seasons (I am not lucky enough)

There are no large sandy beaches in the East Pole Islands, only Qingbang Island has a few relatively high-quality shell beaches. Shapu Beach in the picture is one of them.

The small uninhabited village on the island is just in the foothills, and the wind is particularly strong

On the back of no one's place is the famous Lisbon Maru shipwreck site, which is also the site of the Xiaoji Cave site

Legend has it that during World War II, British prisoners hid in the cave and were later rescued by the East Pole Islanders. The cave was also named Children's Cave because of its narrow entrance

Xifeng Bay gravel beach has very good water quality. You can go swimming in the sea. You need to pay a 10 yuan ticket to enter the beach. It is also a fishing haven on Qingbang Island.

Friends who like humanities will definitely get a cold on the island's old fishermen street

You can wait on the shore for the fishing boat to return to the port. You can buy the fresh goods that just arrived online after negotiating the price

The B & B we stayed in before was called Qingbang Memory. The view from the terrace was excellent. You could watch the sunrise by opening the window. Friends who have not found suitable accommodation should consider it

[Dongfushan Island]

Dongfushan Island is the easternmost island in the island group, and the sea water is also the bluest. Personally, I feel that several attractions on the island are average (maybe I am tired of vision). Elephant Trunk Peak strongly recommends that you just take a glance from a distance. It takes time to walk (it takes 4 hours to walk back and forth), and there is no means of transportation. The first ray of dawn shines, lighthouse, and Donghai Stone points are relatively close and wide enough to stroll around. The best way to unlock this island is to sleep during the day, go out to watch the sunset in the evening, and watch the sea and the stars and the wind at night.

The first lighthouse in the East China Sea, crying in the sunset

The peak of the elephant trunk is named after the shape of the elephant trunk. It is the highest point on the island, with mountains on one side and sea on three sides. Hundreds of meters of cliffs and cliffs go straight into the sea.

The Shashuwan Stone House Group is built next to the mountains and the sea and takes advantage of the mountains. It is well-organized and wind resistant.

Fortune is as good as the East Sea Stone, which has the effect of the stone of the sea and is one of the platforms for watching the sunset.

At sunset, the light gradually softens, bathing the entire island in warmth

The first ray of light shines on the big reef underground, which is my favorite place on this island

Night is still the main theme of Dongfushan Island. Sea breeze, food stalls, barbecue, and the sound of beer clinking glasses are the elements that should be in summer.

Late at night, when the people's laughter gradually subsided and the lights gradually thinned out, the island returned to its original tranquility, and all you could see was the stars and the sea

At this moment, how many people yearn for poetry and distance, warmth and softness, sea and wind, dreams and ideals, love and non-love are all free
