This is a practical post to help you get around Zhoushan

Summer is not complete without seeing the sea.

The beach is a natural playground for children, and there is finally endless sand to consume their endless energy; the sea is also the private land of every adult, and finally there is a reasonable Feel free to relax and be in a daze on any occasion.

If eating is hard to agree on, then going to the beach is suitable for all ages. I don’t think anyone will refuse to go and see the cool blue sky in summer. ocean of color.

Open the map of China and look along the coastline from north to south. There are several major sea-viewing provinces in China: Shandong, Fujian, Guangdong, and Hainan. Their coastlines It’s long, has blue water, and has many city options to play in.

Just when I was envious that the people in the above provinces could freely see the sea, my eyes fell on Zhoushan - the sea closest to the people of Zhejiang Province.

@安小尼儿

Producing GDP is not Zhoushan’s strength, it is responsible for the hope of the people in the province to live and work in peace and contentment. Nanhai Guanyin, who lives in the "Buddha Kingdom on the Sea" Putuo Mountain, is open all year round, receiving believers from all over the world and listening to their wishes. I remember back then, my dad paid his respects to me who was about to enter the college entrance examination room.

Although the sea water near Zhoushan Island is quite yellow, if you go to several islands in the outer sea, the sea water is absolutely beautiful. In addition to Dongji Island, which was popularized by Han Han's movie "The End of Time", Flower and Bird Island and Gouqi Island are also romantic places for daydreams.

When you come to the beach, you always have to have a complete "gout package". Even during the fishing ban season, East China Sea seafood will not disappoint, there are still many varieties (the ban will be gradually lifted starting from August 1).

Zhoushan’s tourism industry was developed early and the overall supporting facilities are relatively complete. In addition to the fact that ferry tickets are hard to get during the peak season, food, drinks, accommodation and transportation can be arranged more appropriately.

However, many of my friends have not been to Zhoushan yet because they are too lazy to take the step of making a guide. There are many outlying islands in Zhoushan, so it really takes some effort to figure out transportation. So let me help you clarify these basic questions: where to go, how to get there, and where to stay.

This article is full of useful information and is worth collecting!

Zhoushan is composed of more than 1,000 islands. The only one directly connected to the mainland is the main island. This island has the largest population in the city and is also a transit point for transportation.

Shenjiamen on the island is the distribution center for Zhoushan seafood. During the fishing season, the pier is extremely busy every day. Now moved to Donggang, Shenjiamen’s late-night snack stall takes over the responsibility of exporting delicious food in the “fishing capital” and is a good place to soothe the soul on summer nights.

Zhoushan’s airport is located in Zhujiajian, a small island connected to the main island by a cross-sea bridge. The tourist attributes of Zhujiajian are much better than that of the main island. Along the east coastline all the way south, the road is almost full of scenic spots, and there are some sections of the road around the island that are really beautiful.

@Cardinal

There are many beaches on the island, some are free and some are charged, and there are sandy beaches and gravel beaches; you can go parasailing, sailing, or Climb the mountains to enjoy the scenery and watch the sunrise. The itinerary can be arranged in a rich way.

@波野老公

The Sand Sculpture Festival is an annual event in Zhujiajian, and this year’s sand sculptures can already be visited. It coincides with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, so the work is mainly red-themed. By the way, this is also the regular performance venue of the "Donghai Music Festival".

The Daqingshan National Park on the island is a place that everyone who has been there says is good. It has mountains and seas, is clean and pure, and can be regarded as a hidden corner of Zhoushan with few people and beautiful scenery.

Except for Zhujiajian, you have to take a boat to go to other places from Zhoushan. We have sorted out 4 outlying island destinations that are currently under tourism development and have high playability: Daishan Island, Putuo Mountain, Taohua Island, Dongji Island, and Shengsi Islands.

@伟小

Daishan County is very close to Zhoushan Island and has Lulan Qingsha, known as the best beach in East China. There are three main islands in the county: Daishan, Xiushan and Qushan. They have natural scenery and cultural customs. It is very easy to visit. The second season of "Running Man" even filmed here.

Daishan Island has the most abundant scenic spots, including the island-ring highway, lighthouse museum, Dongsha Ancient Town, Cape Park... The only drawback may be that the sea is mostly yellow.

Buddhist culture is the biggest highlight of Mount Putuo. The entire island is a scenic spot, with temples of various sizes scattered throughout. Since the Tang Dynasty, Putuo Mountain has been a Guanyin Dojo. The Buddhist atmosphere has been here for thousands of years and is still very popular today.

The Nanhai Guanyin Statue is a landmark building in Putuo Mountain. It is 33 meters high and stands on the seaside overlooking all living beings.

@牛牛

There was a folk saying that "if you go to Putuo in the South China Sea to burn incense, you will burn half the incense in Luojia". Luojia Mountain, a small island that takes more than ten minutes by boat from Putuo Mountain, is said to be the place where Guanyin cultivated and became an immortal.

The attraction of Peach Blossom Island, not far from the main island, is the film and television base. In Jin Yong’s martial arts masterpiece "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Huang Yaoshi lived in East Zhejiang On this small island, there are indeed many peach blossom trees planted on the island. This is a suitable place for drama fans to check in, or you can choose to watch the sea and enjoy the flowers when the peach blossoms are in bloom.

@SIWACH

And Dongji Island is a holy land of literature and art. Here you can see the first ray of sunrise in the East China Sea, and you can take pictures of the mountains and mountains. Built stone houses, visit the legendary "Potala Palace on the Sea", and of course the filming location of "The End of Time", the entire island is filled with a literary and artistic atmosphere.

@欧生saitama

Dongji is actually a collective name for several small islands. There are many things to see, and it is completely worth planning a separate trip.

Shengsi Islands have similar properties to Dongji Island, including Sijiao Island (main island), Shengshan Island, Gouqi Island, Flower and Bird Island and other islands. In addition to the unparalleled sea view, there is a unique uninhabited village here. There were no traces of human activity, and green plants covered the houses, turning the village into their territory. The scene was very dreamy.

@Aquarius

Shengsi was developed later, and the attractions and accommodations are not as rich as Dongji Island. However, if you are starting from Shanghai, it is much more convenient to go to Shengsi.

@lv小ci

Currently, the nearest high-speed rail station to Zhoushan is Ningbo Station. After exiting the station, transfer to the bus Arriving in Zhoushan, the drive takes about 1.5-2 hours. Of course, you can also take buses directly from nearby cities: Hangzhou and Shanghai take the fastest 4-5 hours, and Ningbo, which is relatively close, even has overnight buses to Zhoushan every day.

@西西爱吃鱼

For distant cities, you can fly to Ningbo Airport first and take a direct bus from the airport. It would be more convenient if your city has direct flights to Zhoushan (although it is called Putuoshan Airport, it is actually in Zhujiajian, don’t get it wrong).

As for intra-island transportation, the Shenjiamen Banshengdong Pier on the main island of Zhoushan is currently closed for rest, so the routes to various islands have been adjusted.

If you are departing from Shanghai, it will save you a lot of effort to buy a combined bus and boat ticket:

Tickets for the ferry within Dongji Island need to be purchased on-site at the pier. , so there were a lot of news about queuing up to grab tickets early in the morning. Tickets for island rotation in the Shengsi Archipelago can be purchased online in advance. We recommend everyone to use the "Shengsi Travel" public account.

For various routes in Zhoushan, you can download the "Zhoushan Transportation" APP. You can check the routes at a glance and buy tickets directly on it. Ferry tickets in Zhoushan are very popular, especially as the summer vacation is about to begin, so buy them in advance to be prepared.

A few days ago, a fan asked backstage, "Which island in Zhoushan is the most fun?" It's really hard to give a direct answer to this question. Although the islands in Zhoushan are not big, they all have their own characteristics.

I have roughly introduced each island to you. The easiest thing is of course to choose according to your own interests and preferences:

If you want to see the blue sea, then it is more suitable to go to a remote island. The sea water in offshore islands like Putuo Mountain and Zhujiajian is not particularly blue, and the weather is also a big deciding factor. It depends on luck.

Choosing a destination according to your own preferences is one way, and choosing based on transportation is also another way. If it is a family trip, it is not suitable for a trip with too complicated transportation.

Let me help you evaluate the difficulty level. Zhoushan Island amp; Zhujiajian (no need to take a boat) lt; Daishan Island lt; Taohua Island amp; Putuo Mountain (15-20 minutes boat ride) lt ; Dongji Island & Shengsi Islands (1-2 hours by boat, you need to take another boat for island hopping).

In terms of accommodation, Zhoushan Island (Hilton, Pullman, Shangri-La, Sheraton), Zhujiajian (Westin) and Putuo Mountain (Kaiyuan Guantang, Radisson Manor) There are many hotels.

Other outlying islands are dominated by B&Bs, and many of them have good taste. They decorate the houses in quite a style, facing the sea and in good locations.

It is definitely impossible to visit so many islands in Zhoushan in one trip. I think it is more reasonable to arrange it according to your own travel time and transportation. .

The last part will give you some feasible routes to Amway, saving you the trouble of searching everywhere for strategies.

① Family Fun Route

Itinerary: Zhoushan Island-Zhujiajian-Putuo Mountain

Time: 3-4 days

This route is hassle-free and focuses on shopping and eating. It is very suitable for families with children or the whole family.

There are not many attractions on the main island of Zhoushan, but the advantage is that the restaurants here are much more affordable than those on the outlying islands, and they have good taste and a lot of choices.

When eating noodles in Zhoushan, you can choose your own ingredients and seafood, and it’s up to you to be rich and frugal. Finally I know how others can eat a bowl of noodles that costs more than 100 yuan.

The Donghe Seafood Market brings together all kinds of seafood that we know and don’t know. Even if you don’t buy it, just browsing around is very eye-opening.

From eating wontons to seafood noodles, from seafood markets to seafood feasts in food stalls, it’s not impossible to spend a whole day exploring the island. Mo Mo has written specifically about Zhoushan food before, unlocking the Zhoushan seafood stalls and showing you the summer literary and artistic life of the islanders.

As for a place to eat after a meal, I recommend you to visit Dinghai Ancient City.

The ancient city has preserved old residences from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and literary cafes like to open in these nostalgic alleys.

It is not troublesome to get to the second stop, Zhujiajian. There is a direct bus from Shenjiamen Passenger Transport Center to Zhujiajian, and the journey takes about half an hour. If you don't mind the trouble, you can take the bus, but of course the most convenient way is to take a taxi directly.

Zhujiajian has a long coastline and rich scenic spots. For paid spots, I recommend you to go to Wushitang (beach with relatively blue water), Nansha (lots of recreational activities) and Daqingshan (camping available).

The scenic spots on the east coast are very dense. It is most suitable to rent a car and drive to Zhujiajian. It has a high degree of freedom and you can stop and look at the scenery on the road at any time.

It is recommended to choose Dongsha for accommodation. It has an excellent view of the sunrise over the sea, and Dongsha itself is a bathing beach with a long beach.

@二哥ererer

The last stop, Putuo Mountain, takes a boat from the pier in Zhujiajian, which can be reached in about ten minutes. Before going to the island, you need to buy a large ticket of 160 yuan. There are some temples that require additional fees, but they are not more than 10 yuan.

There are many temples in Mount Putuo. If you are short of time, you can visit the three most important temples: Puji Temple (for marriage), Fayu Temple and Huiji Temple. Zen Temple (seeking a son).

The one-day tour route can start from Nanhai Guanyin, take the cableway up the mountain, then walk down the mountain, and tour all the way. The temple built on the mountain has beautiful scenery and full of aura.

② Literary and refreshing route

Itinerary: Zhujiajian-Dongji Island

Time: 2-4 days

Currently, you can only take a boat to Dongji Island at Zhujiajian Centipede Pier. There are direct buses to the docks in Hangzhou and Shanghai, and the journey takes 3-4 hours. After arriving, take a boat directly to the island. This is the most time-saving method.

Miaozi Lake Island is the main island in the entire East Pole. It is also the place with the highest degree of commercialization and can be regarded as a tourist distribution center.

There are no taxis on the island. If you want to get around the island, you can take a sightseeing bus for 88 yuan/person.

There are no special attractions on Miaozi Lake Island. The scenery on the road is the biggest reward of walking around the island. The simple fishing village style is really beautiful no matter how you take it, it is heartwarming. peaceful.

@苏伊潞

Getting on this car also means that you don’t need to check any guides anymore, the driver will take you through all the islands in sequence. A place with stories and scenery. Watch the sunset from the bird-watching platform, the statue of Chen Caibo, the first person to visit the island, and the Dongji Stone Beach where you can enjoy recreational activities...

@苏一潞

The words written on the wall and the wooden boards hanging on the wall remind visitors that this is the filming location of "We Will See You Again".

The other two sightseeing islands in the East Pole are Aingbang Island and Dongfushan Island. Ferry tickets need to be purchased on site at the pier. Personally, I think there is no need to go to Qingbang Island. The legendary "Potala Palace on the Sea" is actually not that spectacular. It is better to save time and visit Dongfushan Island.

The disadvantage of Dongfushan Island is that most of the roads around the island can only be walked, and there may be no mobile phone signal along the way, but you can get something purer and more pure than Miaozi Lake Island. More original scenery. The effort you put in will be rewarded visually.

Dongfushan Island has two reasons that attract people to visit it.

First, this is where the first ray of light shines in the new century. Standing in this vibrant place, it seems that you can get some good luck. Of course, no matter what time of day, this is the best place on the island to watch the sunrise.

The second reason is the large-scale stone house complex on the island. Like Pingtan Island in Fujian, the islanders near the sea use local materials and build houses with stones to resist the erosion of the sea wind.

These houses are now uninhabited and lack the vitality of life, but they have the beauty of loneliness, which is very photogenic.

@TIC西瓜瓜

You can eat and stay on these three islands, no matter which one you choose to stay. On the return journey, you can only go back the same way, first back to Miaozi Lake, and then take a boat back to Zhujiajian.

③ Vibrant island hopping route

Itinerary:

1) Zhujiajian Centipede Pier - Shengshan/Wolfberry - Flowers and Birds Island

2) Shanghai Station-Sijiao/Shengshan/Wolfberry-Flower and Bird Island

Time: 3-5 days

It would take 4-5 days to visit all these islands. If you are short of time, I suggest wolfberry flowers and birds. The Sijiao Island that I ignored is the main island of the Shengsi Islands. You can rent a small electric donkey to get around the island. Although the scenery here is also good, there is a fee for the beach. It is better to go to the other two islands to see the sea water is bluer.

@神马的女人

Starting from the Xiaocaiyuan Pier on Sijiao Island, you can reach other islands in the archipelago.

There is a cross-sea bridge connecting Gouqi Island and Shengshan Island. You can charter a car to visit the island. The classic way to play is to watch the sunrise on the cliffs of Dongya, watch the sunset on the strange mountains and seas, and then go for a walk in the green uninhabited village.

Gouqi Island is rich in various mussels, so the restaurants on the island are particularly good at fancy boiled mussels, which are extremely delicious.

Because Flower and Bird Island is the farthest, the water is naturally the bluest. Like Putuo Mountain, you need to pay an entrance fee to go to the island, 65 yuan/person.

This island is very small. The longest main road is only 5 kilometers, so walking is enough to explore it. The island has a daily limit of 200 people, which guarantees a good gaming experience.

@瑶 impression

Many people say that Flower and Bird Island is "Little Santorini" because the houses on the island are all painted blue. White. Although this metaphor is a bit exaggerated, these houses built on the mountains are indeed very photogenic.

If you are lucky if you come from June to September, you can catch blue tears on the beach. Looking up is the Milky Way, and looking down is the fluorescent sea. The scene is really romantic.

If you take a walk around the island, you will definitely encounter the neatly arranged windmills on the island. They are an excellent background for taking photos. You don’t need any strategies to visit Flower and Bird Island. The scenery is beautiful just by walking along the coast.

Regarding accommodation on these outlying islands, I highly recommend staying near the pier. Firstly, it saves time. Secondly, there are usually restaurants gathered near the pier, making it convenient to eat.

In addition, it is not recommended that you go to the island during festivals. The islands in Zhoushan are not large, which means that the number of passengers they can carry is limited. Not only is housing extremely expensive during holidays, but getting tickets is also a big deal. The experience of the overcrowded island is naturally missing, and the meaning of going to the island to find peace is lost.

On an island separated from the land, life no longer has 996 and involution, and the authority of nature is above all else. The sky, waves, forests, small animals... they are the keys to slow down time and make your mood cheerful.

Hide away on a secluded island and become an islander for a few days. This is a wish that Zhoushan can help you easily realize.
