Little-known Blue Sea and Blue Sky-Flower and Bird Island

Catch the tail of summer and come across the ocean to see you. Take you to these two little-known islands named Hua in late summer. They are the bluest in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai and have a unique geological stone forest wonder-Hua 'ao Island!

Flower and Bird Island is called "Flower and Bird Island" because there are wild lilies all over the mountain in summer and endless flowers in all seasons.

The northernmost island of Zhoushan Shengsi Archipelago, with the endless East China Sea to the east, is clear and windy, isolated from the island, and lives slowly in a light city.

The cleaner and more beautiful the place, the more simple and kind the folk customs are. A dinner, a smile and an island completely captured us.

Hundreds of old people are scattered in small stone houses on the island, which are their lifelong habitats and memories. The land is too complicated for them. Growing vegetables and flowers, fishing and playing mahjong are the world of the island.

The origin of "Mata" comes from the only road on the island "Mata Line" and the shooting place of "Mata Mata"-The Lord of the Rings. Matamata B&B is located at the highest point in the north depression of Huaniao Village.

Facing the sea, the uniquely designed inn reveals Marta's personality from accommodation, balcony, garden, public area and even every dining ceramic bowl. The sea view is beautiful during the day and the night view is blurred at night.

People are destined to play music, take photos, watch an open-air movie, drink a cup of mugwort tea and enjoy Marta's slow time at will. ......

Flower and bird lighthouse? ▎ Is it the first lighthouse in the Far East?

The flower-and-bird lighthouse, where ships leave the Yangtze River estuary and sail into the international channel from Shanghai to the Pacific Ocean to guide ships in and out of the vast sea, is called "the first lighthouse in the Far East" because of its important geographical location, large scale, complete functions, long history and international influence.

Lighthouses seem to be rare in China. This flower and bird lighthouse was also built by the British in 1870. 100 years, it has guided many ships from south to north.

Not only the sea, but also the fluorescent sea.

This is a vibrant island, quiet, peaceful and beautiful. While enjoying the beautiful scenery by the sea, you can also enjoy the life of the islanders.

In midsummer, the sea around the island is light blue and green. If you are lucky, you can also see the "fluorescent sea" on the stone shore of bergamot at night.

Huaao island

Emperor Hua, as its name implies, has groups of flowers on the flat ground in the mountains.

Hua 'ao Island is almost located at the southernmost tip of Xiangshan Mountain, separated from the north and south of Gaotang Island by a narrow strait, and the cross-sea pier of Gaotang Island has a strange name, called Jingao Chair Pier.

Sea erosion stone forest? Don't miss it

The footwall is steep, and the five or six columnar joints formed by the cooling of a large number of volcanic magma are either tall and straight, or stand on the horizontal side, arranged in an orderly way, stretching for several kilometers.

Every stone within the eye's reach, whether it is directly inserted into the seabed, hung on the mountain or inclined down from the mountain wall, is almost a cuboid with the same color, and the side length of each stone seems to be the same.

Clear water stone beach? The magical cobblestone beach

There is no beach on the beach. Instead, pebbles as small as a baby's fist or a dining table. When the sea begins to ebb, you can hear pebbles rolling in the waves.

Zhang Cang Shui, we don't know who he is or what he did. Only those relics on Hua 'ao Island that are almost lost in time have remembered him, adding a sense of historical vicissitudes to Hua 'ao Island.

There are no historical sites and monuments on the island, but it is not difficult to find hieroglyphics on the rocks eroded by wind and rain, engraved with the permanent witness of that great change.

The best place to see the sun is on the beach next to the stone forest.

I like to watch the sunrise and sunset on the island best, because the splendor of the intersection of red and blue is always the beauty that cannot be reached anywhere else.

Island traffic

Starting from Shipu Pier in Xiangshan, take the ferry to Gaotang Island, then take the shuttle bus to Jingaoyi Pier, and finally take the boat to Huaao Island.

You can go by ferry or boat. There is a shuttle bus to Shilin scenic spot on the island pier, and then you can stroll slowly.

AG No.1 Wharf-Hua 'ao Island 10 yuan/person 70 yuan/car.

Huaao Island Wharf-Shilin Scenic Area 20 yuan/person

Practical information

Stone Forest Tickets 40 yuan/person

The development level of the island is not high, mainly farmhouses and inns run by local islanders. It is suggested that you can return to Gaotang Island and Shipu for accommodation after a day of sightseeing. The ferry usually lasts until 17:00 at night. If necessary, please consult the ship's personnel.

If you want to watch the sunrise and sunset, I recommend Lihong Inn (Tel: 158880673 19), which is clean, tidy, economical and fully inclusive.
