Guide to the best routes for a three-day trip to Zhoushan

Zhoushan is located in Zhejiang Province, close to Shanghai. It is the first city in China based on the geographical profile of an island, with a permanent population of more than one million. The ecosystem here is very complete, and there are many dream towns on the island. Below is a guide to the best routes for a three-day trip to Zhoushan.

Sea

I have always wanted to go to the beach, but I have never had time. This time, I made up my mind to see the sea I dreamed of. I went to learn a little about the local attractions before. I originally wanted to drive there, but considering that Hangzhou is a bit far from Zhoushan, the road conditions are unfamiliar, and it is impossible to get to the island by car, so I decided to take a bus. My route this time was originally to go to Dongji Island, but something happened on the way, so I went to an extra scenic spot, Zhujiajian Island. Then go to Dongji Island on the second day and return on the third day.

Early preparation

1. Determine the departure date, which lasts three days.

2. Pay attention to the local weather and wind strength for the three days (if the wind is too strong, the boat to the island will stop, but generally it will not appear unless it is a typhoon)

3. Prepare Three-day item list (mainly for reference, it depends on your own situation)

Two sets of clothes are enough, but it is best to bring a thin long sleeve and long pants. It's a bit cold at night on the island and there are a lot of mosquitoes. Wearing sunscreen is a must, especially in summer.

Mosquito repellent, sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, towels, slippers are all available in the hotels on the island, but it personally feels unhygienic. It depends on your own situation.

You can bring more and more mineral water, snacks, and energy-supplementing foods, especially to islands where prices are a bit high.

You can buy seasickness medicine or ointment here.

Be sure to bring enough cash. You cannot use Alipay to buy tickets unless you book online, but most of them can still be used.

4. Buy tickets for the day. Starting from Hangzhou, there are Jiubao Passenger Transport Center, East Railway Station, South Bus Station, and Huanglong Sports Distribution Center. stand at attention! stand at attention! It’s Putuo Passenger Transport Center Station! Don't get off at Dinghai Passenger Terminal and Xincheng Passenger Terminal! The destination of the bus is Putuo Passenger Terminal! Just go past those two stops! The drive takes about 3.5 to 4 hours, but you will have a 15-minute rest at the Zhenhai service area along the way.

5. It is best to buy tickets to Dongji Island from 2 to 4 o'clock the day before, otherwise it may be difficult to buy the next morning because there are many scalpers. We’ll talk about this later.

6. If you go on vacation, you must reserve your place in advance. There are all kinds of software, including Ctrip, Qunar, Meituan, etc.

7. Bring some precautions, band-aids, heatstroke prevention medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.

The first day.

I bought a ticket from Hangzhou Passenger Transport Center to Putuo Passenger Transport Center Station at 8:30 in the morning. It is best to buy the front row of this bus, which is the three positions of 1.2.3. It can enjoy the scenery all the way. If you want to sleep, that's not necessary.

We set off on time at 8:30, but we have to go to the East Railway Station to replenish personnel. Get on the expressway around 9 o'clock, arrive at Zhenhai Service Area at 11 o'clock, and arrive at Putuo Passenger Transport Center at around 1 p.m.

I only know Zhenhai Middle School.

I originally planned to go directly to Shenjiamen Bansheng East Pier to buy tickets to Dongji Island the next morning, because there were a lot of scalpers buying tickets the next morning. We'll talk about that later. You can also grab tickets from WeChat.

But you’d better go to Hanshengdong to buy tickets to the island the next day, and then take a bus to Zhujiajian Island.

Bus No. 6 from Putuo Passenger Transport Center to Bansheng East Pier is direct, or you can take a taxi for about 20 yuan.

If you buy the ferry ticket early, you can go to Zhujiajian Island. If it's too late, you can stay here in Bansheng Cave, Shenjiamen. You can go shopping there in the evening, there are also seafood food stalls. There are three types of tickets: lower berth for 100, middle berth for 130, and upper berth for 150. The three types of tickets are upper berth, middle berth and lower berth. If you get seasick, buy a berth. Buying the above two will definitely make you complain. If you don't get seasick, you can buy a middle-class one, and if you're rich, you can buy a high-class one.

As mentioned above, I originally wanted to buy a boat ticket for the next day, but I believed it when the master said that I could buy it early tomorrow morning.

The ending is kind of bad. However, I went to Nansha and Zhujiajian Island. Actually, it's pretty good.

The accommodation is average, the room is big enough, and the hygiene is OK, except that the food is very expensive. I really can't eat seafood. It costs more than 100 to eat anything, and it’s not delicious.

After we arrived, we looked at the room first, and then went downstairs to find food. In fact, it was opened by his own family. See if you want to eat, or you can go out and have a look. However, things are quite expensive and there isn’t much to do in the scenic spots. Rooms can be booked online.

We live near the sea on Zhujiajian Island, where there are two main attractions, Nansha Sand Sculpture Beach and Lover's Island.

After lunch, we went out to visit Lover’s Island. It happened to be 520 that day.

Lover Island 520

The scenery in Lover Island is quite good. You can buy a ticket for 50 yuan per person. There is a map on it and some of the roads are very narrow. You must pay attention to safety. Follow the signs and there are air raid shelters.

The bridge

The sea behind is blue.

I want to jump.

A bit panicked, cross the bridge.

The sea! The sea! The sea!

It still takes more than an hour to walk to Lover’s Island. You need to be careful not to look down and play with your phone. It was very windy at the top of the mountain and the road was narrow and steep.

Go forward on Lover's Island, and there is a beach (don't buy a ticket to enter Lover's Island, just keep walking forward and ask passers-by). I couldn't go there because of time, but after asking about the beach, it seemed that there were 20 people there.

I took pictures of the beach at Lover's Island, but it was okay. Before, you could go directly to the beach at Lover's Island Scenic Area, but I don't know why you can't do that now.

Beach. Seawater

There is also a scenic area with sand sculptures and beaches. 75 per person during the day, but no tickets are required after 5:30 pm. Remember, if you want to save money, you can go to Lover's Island first, then eat, and then go for a walk on the beach. You can also ask the locals on Zhujiajian Island, they will tell you enthusiastically.

The sand on the beach is fine and comfortable.

Because it is night, it is getting dark.

Play on the beach for about an hour, enjoy the sea breeze, and run in the sea. Remember to wear slippers and long sleeves. On the way back, don’t buy the barbecue in the park. Not fresh and not tasty. You can buy some shredded squid or something.

After having fun, go back to the hotel and take a rest. You must take a boat to the island early tomorrow morning.

Note:

If you go to Shenjiamen Bansheng East Pier in the afternoon of the first day to buy a ticket to Dongji Island for the next day, it is best to book a room near the pier and wait until It’s too late to go to Zhujiajian Island. If you buy a ticket, you can go to Zhujiajian Island in time. It takes at least 20 minutes to take a taxi from Banshengdong, Shenjiamen, which is a bit far. Think for yourself.

The next day

The original itinerary of the first day was changed and went to Zhujiajian Island, so I did not buy a ticket to Dongji Island today. So I got up at five o'clock in the morning and rushed to the Shenjiamen Banshengdong Ferry Terminal to buy a ticket. Although there were fewer people on Sundays, I found that there were scalpers standing in front of the place, and they sold you a seat for tens of dollars. If there are enough votes, I really can't buy a seat. Very helpless, it is best to buy it the afternoon before.

Ship/boat/ticket

Timetable

Finally I bought a ticket to Dongji Island. Under this interpretation, Dongji Island includes four main islands, mainly Miaozihu Island (the center of Dongji Town), Qingbang Island (the smallest island where the film will be filmed for life after the filming is completed), and Dongfushan Island (environmental I think the scenery is the best), Huangxing Island (very few people go there). The tickets I bought were for Miaozi Lake Island and Qingbang Island. Dongfushan Island is the farthest away, and you need to change boats at Miaozi Lake Island. You can buy tickets on the boat to go to Miaozi Lake Island for 30 yuan per person. Then you can change the radio station for meetings and listen to the radio.

Going to sea.

Saw the island.

Take the boat and change to the lower berth.

As mentioned earlier, seasickness patients can take seasickness medicine half an hour before sailing. Better to buy a cabin. Cheap and not dizzy. If you are really dizzy, you'd better sleep during the voyage. Don't go up there to see the scenery. It will be confusing. Of course, you can get on, off, and stroll around after the boat leaves.

Also pay attention to personal belongings, especially valuables. There are a lot of people on the boat, so be careful.

Before going from Shenjiamen Hanshengdong Pier to Taeko Lake, the boat will first go to Qingbang Island (I won’t mention it for those who have been there, you can go if you want), and then take about 10 minutes to Taeko Lake Island . Remember, if you want to go to Dongfushan Island, don’t get off the boat and transfer directly between boats.

It takes about half an hour to get from Miaozi Lake Island to Dongfushan Island, so you can take a little rest.

After half an hour's journey and 2.5 hours at a time, we finally arrived at our destination - Dongfushan Island.

It was taken from my hotel.

A bit ugly.

The wind is very chaotic

Eat one.

After arriving at Dongfushan Island, if you book a room online in advance, the boat owner may pick you up at the pier. The roads on the island are very steep and it is very tiring to carry a suitcase. (It is best to book a room in advance, especially on weekends and holidays)

After settling in a place to live, you also need to solve the problem of food. So along the main road of Dongfushan, I randomly found a restaurant to have some food. It's really not delicious and a bit expensive. Transportation on the island is inconvenient, so there is no other way. After lunch we went to the place pictured above. The scenery is beautiful, but it’s windy, so be careful.

Xiashan Road

There is a road on the island, and some places around the island are dangerous. It takes four hours to walk down the cliff. I only went halfway, which was to the west. In the direction of the lighthouse, I walked down the path without reaching the top of the mountain. If you're feeling fit, you can try the whole island. Needless to say, the scenery is beautiful. Please look at the picture above.

After climbing the mountain in the afternoon, you can choose to watch the sunset from a slightly lower place above, or by the pier. So beautiful.

It is almost gone.

Oh oh.

No

The lifeblood of fishermen

After admiring the sunset, sit at a food stall on the beach, blowing the sea breeze, eating seafood, and enjoying the most beautiful moments with the people you love most.

After dinner, take a walk with your favorite person, walk through the boat in the morning and the exhaustion in the afternoon, wash up and go to bed early, listen to the sound of the sea lapping the dam, and fall asleep.

Day Three

If you don’t want to miss the sunrise in the morning, you can get up at four o’clock, watch the sunrise, and follow the crowd. That's right.

After watching the sunrise, it’s still early to come back. You can have something to eat and take a break. Return tickets will be on sale promptly at seven o'clock. Don’t worry, you can usually buy them. In the little shop by the pier.

Note that tickets bought on Dongfushan Island can only go to Miaozi Lake Island, and then you can buy Shenjiamen from Miaozi Lake Island. So try to choose a position near the door in the middle cabin at the back of the boat on Dongfushan Island, so that as soon as the boat arrives at Miaozi Lake Island, you will be ready to rush down and buy a ticket back to Shenjiamen. This is done to prevent people from being unable to buy tickets and waiting in line for too long.

It’s about nine o’clock from Dongfushan Island to Miaozi Lake Island, and the boat leaves at eleven o’clock. You can choose to take an island tour bus and visit Miaozi Lake Island in about 50 minutes, or you can walk around by yourself.

Beautiful

The water here is not so blue.

Take the boat back to Shenjiamen at the last eleven o'clock and arrive at about two o'clock in the afternoon. Remember to book your ticket back to Hangzhou online in advance. The time was after 2:30 pm. The bus station is Putuo Passenger Transport Center Station, so don’t choose the wrong ticket.

There is still 20 yuan to take a taxi from Shenjiamen Bansheng East Pier to Putuo Passenger Transport Center Station, which takes about 20 minutes. You have to count your own time.

The three-day trip ended and we arrived in Hangzhou at 6:30 in the evening.

Use recommended apps

Ctrip, Meituan, Baba Express, Zhoushan Starfish Cruise (you can follow us on WeChat to purchase tickets)

Two people in three days It costs about 2,300 yuan.

The above is for reference only. I wish you a safe journey. Whether you are alone or with your loved ones, you should have fun, travel environmentally friendly, don’t litter, and travel civilized.

The above photos were all taken with mobile phones, which is a bit wasteful. It's best to have a SLR.
